My Love, My Fate

#2 CRUMBLED

Meantime, Joanna and Hudson got fonder to each other.

Since Hudson was away from home, he missed them a lot. His loneliness was tossed away by Joanna's tender care and endearment.

Although she was not his type of girl, his likeliness towards her was beyond doubt. Her mistakes and short tempered attitude never made him to cast away from her.

During a chat through phone,
Shafna, "We never expected right?? Four friends became two couples.."

Hari,"Yeah!! That's right. But you have to admit something. "

Shafna, "What??"

Hari,"Among us, you're the luckiest one. Because you've got the most handsome lover."

Shafna, "What?? (laughs..) So funny (laughs..)"

Hari,"What did you say?? Funny?? You..." He cut the call without saying anything further.

Shafna was worried 'Why was he behaving like this?'
She called back again and again until he picked up the phone.

Shafna, "Hey Hari. I'm really very very sorry for making you upset. Please talk to me dear. I didn't mean it. That's just for fun."

He still remained silent.

Shafna," I love you dear. Talk to me. I'm sorry.. "

Hari, " Fine. Fine. I just got upset. I'm alright now. Sorry for making you worry about me. "

Shafna," You know what, you should have got a girl like Joanna. Then only you'll know my worth"

Hari, " Ah ha... "

Shafna, " Hudson used to call me sometimes.. "

Hari interfering, "Wait wait. Why did he call you??"

Shafna always liked his possessiveness, " Since only I could handle Joanna. "

Hari,"Oh recommendation.. "

Shafna, " Somewhat like that. Hudson is really sweet. Not like you. He was the one who always adjusts with her. But you.. Hmm"

Hari, "Yeah I accept that only because of you, our relationship is strong now. But you're praising him too much. Enough"

Shafna, "Oh oh!! My darling is getting jealous on him.. But I'm telling the truth right?? Hudson is so sweeeet"
She said that just to make him more jealous.

Hari," Then go and love him itself. Why did you love me??"

Shafna, " Is it?? Shall I?"

Hari,"Hey... "

And they started laughing together.

Later, after their main exams and the results,they all have chosen Engineering field in different colleges.

Joanna joined a college in Chennai, Hari in their hometown itself. Shafna and Hudson joined different colleges in Coimbatore.

During those days, mobile phones were not much in use. So they couldn't contact each other often.

Shafna used to have a countdown for the day she leaves home. She was too excited to go home, plus the thought about meeting Hari.

But the last time holidays made it reverse. As soon as she reached home, she called him to inform that she was in Nagercoil so that they could meet.

Shafna, "Hari, How are you?? I missed you very badly.."

Hari, " Fine. Are you in home?"

Shafna, " Yes" She didn't find the same excitement in his voice like before. " Is there any problem? "
