The meaning of Love

Mumbai - 5

Finally, Sunday arrived, the day I was eagerly waiting for. I was trying all my best clothes but was confused. After 10 minutes of changing, thinking and observing, I chose a red shirt with black lines. Blue jeans suited the shirt. I accessorized myself with a watch and brown shades. I combed my hair neatly and emptied half a bottle of perfume.
I wanted to know how I was looking, so I ran to Aditya's house.
I knocked at the door, Aditya opened it. Vidya was there too. I asked them, "How am I looking?"
Vidya replied, “I think I should start dating you, you look stunning".
Aditya gave a strange look to Vidya.
Vidya said, “I am just joking Aditya".
And burst into laughter.
I joined her in it but Aditya seemed serious. We stopped laughing and after 5 seconds of silence, Aditya started laughing. We joined him as well.
After all this, I asked them once again about my appearance. They praised my looks and asked me about the occasion.
I replied, “It's Sunday Aditya, did you forget?"

He said, “Yes, I really forgot, where you are both going?"

Vidya interrupted, “Will anyone tell me what's going here?"

Aditya told her everything about Shruti and told her that I was going out with her today.

Vidya said, “OH my God, Arjun. Be nice and calm, girls like calm boys".

"Thank you Bhabhi", I said.

Vidya replied, “No need to mention and Arjun don't call me Bhabhi, It may cause a problem if anyone hears."

I replied, “Sorry Bhabhi".

Vidya said, “Not again".

I replied, “Sorry".

Aditya said, “Is it not getting late Arjun?"

I replied, “No, it’s just 11, we are meeting at 12:30".

Aditya said, “Arjun!!!!!!"

I realized that I was causing disturbance and said, “Yes, I need to go and Aditya don't do anything with her".

I ran towards my home when Aditya was screaming and Vidya was laughing.
I came home and was checking myself again and again.
I still had an hour to spend, I was very excited and at the same time nervous. I removed the pen and started talking to it. I imagined that the pen was also talking to me.
After a long chat with Shruti's pen, I looked at my watch, it was still 11:30.
When you want the time to go fast, it goes extremely slow and when you want it to go slow, it takes the speed of light.
I waited for the clock to strike 12. I was practicing some lines to say like, hope you enjoyed your day, this day will add unforgettable memories to your life and so on.
At last, the time was 12, I checked myself and ran towards her school.
I was there at 12:20. Shruti had not arrived yet. I waited for her.
After every two minutes, I checked my watch. It was 12:30 now and she had not arrived.
I sat on a bench nearby and tried to text her,
Arjun: Hi

Arjun: Where are you?

I waited for her reply for three minutes and again texted,

Arjun: Are you coming?

All the messages were being sent but it was not seen by her. I thought she would come in a couple of minutes.
I waited for her for almost half hour. But she didn't come.
I was still waiting and now it was 1:45. I called her but her mobile was not reachable.
I tried her number couple of times but to no avail. After some time, her number was switched off.
Now, I was really angry with her and was hungry as well.
I walked home, changed my clothes and had lunch.
I was upset that day. I was thinking about her that day.
I told everything to Aditya and Vidya.

Aditya said, “How could she do this?"

Vidya said, “I think there must be some reason behind this".

I remained silent and walked home. I removed the pen and was looking at it. Today first time after I met her, went to sleep without kissing the pen.
