Before Us, After Us

1 : SEEN LOVE : 5 : THE MEET

The next day, in the same place and time 3:30.

Everyone gathered together. Garry and Jothi were staring at each other because they don't know what is going to happen and they are really scared.

Pooja : Hi. My sister told me everything about you.

Garry : And? Is everything okay?

Pooja : Actually not. If she told you about my dad and -

Garry : She did. She told about your dad.

Pooja : And? You are still up for it? Like you know, it's too risky.

Garry : I am ready to face anything. I promised her I will never give up on her. And also we are just talking. To know about each other.

Eddie : So..... You guys are dating?

Garry : Yeah!

Jothi : No!

They both said that at the same time.

Garry : No? Why not?

Jothi : How talking can become dating? And also dating is different from just talking, isn't it?

Garry : That actually sounds likes I am on your friendzone. We are friends.

Jothi : I know. We are friends. Well, fine yeah. We are dating.

Pooja : It took you guys a whole 5 minutes to decide. Nice start I see.

Eddie : (chuckles) Yeah! So Garry, why you didn't tell me? Like how long it's been going on?

Garry : Around 3-4 days I guess. And it's not that serious. I would have told you when it's like confirmed. But, you know now.

Eddie : It is important to tell me because-

Garry : Because you are gonna say no. I know you Eddie.

Eddie : That's not the point.

Pooja : Now stop that. So,
Mr. Garry....

Garry : Just Garry.

Pooja : (sighs) Alright. Just Garr- sorry I mean..... Garry. What's your plan after you guys started being in relationship officially.

Garry : Uhh.... I will talk to my parents. And my parents will talk to your parents and-

Pooja : That's not gonna work.

Garry : Why not? Let's think positive, shall we?

Pooja : I am not trying to be negative. I am just being real. After all I know my father better than you. When I say, he will kill us. I mean it, he will really kill us.

Garry : So? Do you have a plan?

Pooja : No......

Garry : Then.... Let me handle it. I will go to any extent to be with her. And also, when I say I love her. I mean it, I really love her and I will not leave her.

Pooja : Well, wish you guys good luck then. I will not interrupt. You better try to impress my father rather my sister. She will fall easily.

Jothi : Nooooo. Pooja shut up! Will you?

Pooja : Hmm Alright. I will take my leave then. Bye.

Eddie : That's all.

Pooja : What else is there?

Eddie : I mean..... You forgot? That.... Uhhh

Garry : What is it Eddie?

Eddie : Umm. It's..... It's.......

Pooja : (smiles at Eddie's stammer) Me and Eddie are dating too.

Garry and Jothi are completely shocked. Eddie is shocked too because Pooja told that out loud to them.

Garry : What the fuck Eddie? Now look who's hiding? Now tell me.... How long you guys been dating huh?

Eddie : We met yesterday and I didn't know that we were until she said by herself. But I love her too. I would have told you when it's like confirmed.

Garry : You are hitting me with my own words huh? Whatever....
So, are you not a scared of your father? That he will kill you. Isn't that too risky? Ms. Pooja....?

Pooja : Of course I am scared. But as long as he's with me...., I am ready to die for him. I am scared of death when I am with him. He's worth the risk. He's the best. (Smiles and blushes)

Garry and Eddie talked alone in a corner while Pooja and Jothi were waiting for them.

Garry : What about you Eddie?

Eddie : I promised her too Garry. I promised her that I will not give up on her. This love feels like magic. This is new and I don't think any girl can fill her place. I don't know why, since the day I saw her.... nothing feels wrong. Even if I have to "KILL HER FATHER TO MAKE HER HAPPY AND LIVE WITH HER FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE". You wouldn't understand.

Garry : I do understand. I am in love with a girl too. Remember?

Eddie : No.... No... Garry. The love you felt was different than mine. You fell in love by her look and I fell in love by how she felt. And how I feel is different too.... It's not the same.

Garry : You are right. I fell in love by how she looked but that's not true entirely true. Deep inside there's a heart. Not every look good as their heart. I am pretty sure every man and woman fell in love with how the person looked. And not every person's heart is same as we see. And it's not easy to find a person who's look is good as their heart. I don't know about Pooja. But, Jothi is that rare one. She is such a pure soul and I am not leaving this place until she's mine. And we both are in the same game and on the same team. Let's win our trophies together Eddie.

Eddie : Yeah. Let's win them. Until then.... We are not leaving this place.

Eddie and Garry : Yeah let's goo (hi-fi)

Pooja : All done?

Eddie : Yeah..... We are not leaving this place until we win your dad's heart.

All laughs at that.. Suddenly they heard a rustle sound in the bushes. But they ignored the sound. A man was hiding in the bushes far away from them and heard everything they talked. That man is one of the bodyguards of Sethuraman. Sethuraman sent that man because he was suspicious about his daughters leaving exactly at 4:30 for past four days. They didn't notice that bodyguard. The bodyguard ran the bungalow and said everything to Sethuraman.

Here, Pooja received a call from her dad. It's Sethuraman. He called Pooja and Jothi to come home. And he asked to bring Eddie and Garry with them. This scared all of them... They all were panting and sweating. And finally they all went to the bungalow.....
