The meaning of Love

Mumbai - 2

I was in my school campus. I was feeling very lonely and sad that day because I had a fight with my best friend, Aditya. He has been my bestie since I was in the kindergarten. We fought because of a girl.
Aditya had a crush on Vidya, the most popular girl in our society. Aditya and Vidya were good friends and Aditya wanted relationship. But he didn't know how to start. He kept telling me to do it for him but I kept ignoring it. For some reason Aditya was upset today.
I went towards him and asked him,' What's the matter brother?'
' Nothing',he replied.
I asked him,' Are you missing Vidya?'
'Hmmmmm, Brother please do something, please go and tell her that I like her', he replied.
' Sorry friend I can do anything for you but I cannot do this, I don't want to get into a girls matter,' I said.
After listening to me, he got angry and started fighting. ' You are my best friend and can't even do a small thing for me',he said.
' Its your lookout bro, I can't help', I replied. He said in a rude tone,' Wow! Even you started feeling jealous of me now, you are my childhood friend and still thinks its my lookout'.
' Why should I go and talk to a girl who is nothing of me?' I asked.
He replied in Hindi,' Kaminey bhabhi hai wo teri'.
' Stop dreaming brother', I said.
'Fuck you Arjun, you are not my friend anymore,'he said and left.
I was sitting in the school campus and was feeling guilty for the incident. I was thinking of a solution for it but my mind was somewhere else. I didn't know what was I thinking.
I was struggling to find a solution when I saw Shruti inside my school. I was surprised to see her in my school and wondered why she was here.
I shouted,' Shruti.......'. Luckily she heard at the first attempt and started walking towards me. Her cute face became more cuter as she came near and near.
' Hello, you study here?',she asked.
'Hmmmm', I replied.
' Why are you here?', I asked.
' I am here to pick my younger brother, Suraj.'
' That's great, because of your younger brother we got an opportunity to meet again', I said.
' You look tensed, What's the matter?', she asked.
I tried not to tell her but girls have an extraordinary ability that they can convince anyone to know what's going in their mind. I told her the full incident and said,' Do you have any solution for this?'
She said after 5 seconds,' Well.....you should talk to Vidya, tell her that Aditya likes you and he wants a relationship, that's it'.
First I was not ready to do this but another extraordinary ability of girls that they convince anyone to do anything made me do this.
I went to Vidya's house in the evening. We were sitting in her room. She gave me fruits and a glass of cold drink.We were chatting for a while and I finally came to the point.
I said ' Vidya, Aditya.......'.
'What Arjun? Aditya what?', she asked.
'Aditya... Aditya likes you and wants a relationship with you',I said and was waiting for her reply. ' Are you serious Arjun?',she asked.
'Hmmmm,'I replied.
Vidya said ,' I was going to say the same thing'.
' Really?, Thats great!', I said.
I removed my cell phone and dailed Aditya's number. He picked at the third attempt. Before he could say something I said,' Someone wants to talk to you'. And handed the phone to Vidya. They spoke for almost twenty minutes and hanged up because my balance was over.
I went home and was sitting on my study chair with Shruti's pen in my hand. I had started liking her. I thought the task which seemed very difficult to me was been solved by her advice in minutes. I felt something special in her, I kissed the pen and went to sleep.
