Few miles away from HER house, a car headed away from Bengaluru.
"So how is it going?", his friend asked.
"All my actions, so far, are suitable enough to make her fall for me", he paused and continued .
"Ahhh.. Sh...
"Are you nuts?", Tanya exclaimed when Sanyukta told her about her plan.
"No, believe me. It will work.", Sanyukta said . "I will show you how. Just call out this number.", she handed the piece of paper with a mobile number scribbled on it.
"09", Tanya called out the last digits as Sanyukta dialled.
Sanyukta was eagerly waiting for the guy to pick up the phone.
"Hello", a deep husky voice answered the call.
For a moment, Sanyukta felt that the world around her has come to a halt . She was not sure why his voice gave her that feeling.
"HHH...Hi. I am Sanyukta .", she somehow managed to speak.
There was a long pause on the other side...
"I hope your parents have informed you what happened last Friday", she attempted to recollect who she was.
"Oh!!! Sanyukta Aggarwal! Am I right??", the voice exclaimed.
"I hope you are doing good", Sanyukta said thinking she could start it on a polite note .
"I'm fine. How are you??", he asked.
"I'm fine too....UMMM.... Aaaa... Actually I wanted to talk to you about something....", she paused.
"Yes , please go ahead ...", the voice replied.
"Well ..... Ummm .... Aaa Actually, I'm not in a position to get married now. There's a reason behind it which my parents won't understand, but I hope you will. I have big dreams to chase. I want to be independent and stand on my own feet. So , Can you please tell your parents that you don't like me? You can project anything. My height, weight, color, etc. But please express your dislike towards me . This way it would be easier for us to drop off this proposal . Because once the proposal proceeds, it will be very difficult for us to look back. Thank you for understanding.", Sanyukta closed her eyes, covered the mouth piece and sighed heavily.
Tanya was awestruck..

"Sure. Thanks for letting me know.", the voice replied.
"Thank you so much.", Sanyukta smiled.
"O.k.a.y, SANYUKTA! !!! take care.", the voice tried to end the call.
"Just a second.", Sanyukta said trying to continue the conversation , which made Tanya throw a weird look at her .
"May I know your name?", Sanyukta asked sounding ambivalent about her own question.
She heard the voice smile.
" Naam jaan kar KyA karogi. Anyways for your information my name is ........", just then the line got distorted and she found it difficult to hear him.
