13.The second meeting

101 16 36
                                    

I was sitting in my room reading ‘One night at the call centre’ for the 11’th time it was one of another amazing works by CB and one of my favourite book.  It was a book which talked about a group of people who got a call from god. OK it’s different topic but it is amazing book. That’s when suddenly my mom broke in to my room she came in pushing open the door.
“Mom how many times have I told you don’t come in without knocking” I said irritated.
“I have came to say something important and you are worried about the knocking the door?” Mom asked.
“Now what the hell happened?” I asked more irritated.
“Listen I was thinking I should make a profile for you in this new matrimonial app” Mom said.
“Mom I am just 18 years old” I said.
“OK who is telling you to get married today we will upload a profile you will take one year to find a match and after your engagement we will wait one more year for marriage and when you finish collage you can marry OK” Mom said.
“Mom, am I a burden to you that you are doing such a thing?” I asked.
“No beta but you have no intensions to study well you are not going to get a job what will happened to you after us I am worried for you” Mom said.
“Mom if you have already decided that I cannot do anything in my life it is your problem and I don’t feel it is necessary to give you an explanation” I said.
“OK if you don’t want an arrange marriage make a boyfriend that will be a love marriage and you will be happy at least if your marriage don’t work out you will not blame me for that right” Mom said.
“Mom, just look at me who will love me, No one will” I said.
“Then my idea is best lets create a profile” Mom said.
“Mom life is not only about getting married and having kids” I said.
“Then what is it about?” Mom asked genuinely confused.
“Mom talking to you is just a waste of time” I said.
“OK if you studied well like Meena and become an IAS,IPS or you wanted to become a baker or something I would never have told you to get married but you don’t wanna study so I have no other option than to get you married” Mom said.
“You know what mom I am out of here” I said and walked out of there.
“Where are you going at this hour?” Mom asked.
I avoided her and I took my bag my bike keys and went out. I hoped on my bike and drove away. I was so happy to get out of there.

“‘I think I love’ you come on Lali what the hell is this I think I love you there should be a clarity in every relationship especially in a love story ‘I love you dam it’ ya this one is perfect”
I said to myself as I sat watching the sea and writing the dialogs for my story that I am writing manually in a book. Maya had finally convinced me to continue writing stories but it’s a fact that what I write is not just mire stories but scripts for the film’s which I wish to direct in the future if I get a chance of course. I looked at the sea again it was such a romantic movement I wish Sid was here. OK now what the hell was that Lali? Why are you thinking about Sid? Don’t forget he is your BFF’s BF (Best friend’s boyfriend) thinking such things about him is a sin. It’s totally wrong do you wanna spoil your friendship with Meena. Forget the friendship it can ruin her life my brain said to me. Now why are you thinking like this you haven’t dated him or something you just like him you are not going to expect Sid to love you or show your love for Sid in any way so how the hell is this a sin you have full right to feel anything no one can stop you. My heart said on the other hand.
“Baby please listen I am not blaming you in any way.....”
I heard a familiar voice. I looked back and was shocked to see Sid he came and sat near me he was busy talking through the phone he didn’t look at my face. Shit I should have wished something else like I should become a great director or something maybe that will also have became true.
“I just asked you do you know him I didn’t say that you are having an affair” Sid said thorough the phone.
I think he is having a fight with Meena, does that mean my problem is solved can I love him now without any guilt? My stupid mind asked again. Oh shut up idiot even if he break up he is not gonna love you he loved someone like Meena you can’t even match the standards of  Meena’s pet dog. My brain said. All these things don’t matter in love my heart said. But it matters in marriage do you want a love story without marriage? My brain asked. Shut up both of you please let me concentrate on what he is talking about. I shouted in my mind.
“No no it’s nothing like that Aadhi told me and I just asked you now it’s nothing like you think I love you NAINA I love you so much I cannot think of leaving you ever I love you NAINA I love you so much” Sid said.
“What the hell! Who the hell is this Naina? Oh god first of all I had this tough competition from Meena and now this Naina. My heart said. Lali you should get the biggest duffer of the year award like seriously you are only worried about your competition when your best friend’s boyfriend is cheating on her? You should tell this to Meena and help her. My brain said. Ya then Meena will break up with Sid and you will only have to deal with Naina. My stupid heart said again. I think he will have some more girlfriends. My head said again. Before the world war between my head and brain starts I stood up to leave. But his voice stopped me.
“Excuse me” Sid said.
“Yes, are you talking to me?” I asked.
“Yes you forgot your pen here” He said lifting my pen.
“Oh thank you” I said and took the pen from him.
“Hey do I know you?” Sid asked.
“We met today morning I am Meena’s friend” I said.
“Oh ya and you are the same girl from the bus stop right?” Sid asked.
“Yes that’s me” I said.
“Don’t get me wrong but if you are not in a hurry can you stay for some time” Sid asked. I thought I would die of shock. Should I stay or should I not. For the first time in my life I didn’t think much and give my mom’s thinking too much theory a break and sat down.
“Sure” I said and smiled.
“Thank you so much for that day” Sid said.
“You are welcome” I said.
“Sorry I forgot your name” Sid said.
“Lali guptha sorry Lali Rajsekar” I said.
“Who is guptha?” Sid asked.
“I don’t know it’s my pen name” I said.
“Pen name, Are you a writer?” Sid asked.
“Scriptwriter” I said.
“Oh! That’s really amazing” Sid said.
“Not exactly I haven’t done anything with my works I write scripts inside my diary and just keep it with me” I said.
“That’s beautiful like your work are just yours you feel happy by writing yourself and reading what you write yourself life is really beautiful if you yourself are the reason for your happiness” Sid said.
“Thanks for the compliment but my life is not beautiful I am like the most unlucky person on earth” I said.
“Hey that’s my title I am the most unlucky person in this world” Sid said.
“No I am” I said.
“Of course not” Sid said.
“I get late for class everyday” I said.
“I get late for date with my girlfriend everyday” Sid said.
“I fight with my mom daily she finds a reason for fight” I said.
“Me too but with my girlfriend” Sid said.
“When I go to take tickets for a film the theatre becomes house full” I sad.
“Even if I walk towards an empty lift it fills up before I reach there” Sid said.
“I fell down most of the time” I said.
“I fell down all the time” Sid said.
“I don’t have a boyfriend” I said.
“I have a girlfriend” Sid said.
“That’s lucky you know” I said.
“Not at all I don’t like being in a relationship” Sid said.
“Why?” I asked shocked.
“You know I love Naina but sometime it gets really irritating” Sid said.
“Naina....who is Naina” I asked desperate to know the truth.
“Meena I call her Naina sometimes” Sid said.
“Why do you call Meena Naina?” I asked.
“Long story” Sid said.
“O.....K”
I said without knowing how to react should I be happy that I only have to deal with Meena or should I be sad that this guy love only one girl and I don’t have a chance with him or should I just think he is lying because his explanation is not convincing enough.
“You know what makes our relationship worst that we don’t trust each other we are always suspecting each other for loving someone else and I just keeps on asking her about the random guys she spend time with I know it is really immature behaviour from my side but I can’t help it” Sid said.
“Oh looks like you guys are having a lot of problems, but every problem has a solution you know” I said and smiled.
“Thank you Lali, I was really pissed off today if you wouldn’t have stayed I would have totally lost it and would have ended up doing something stupid” Sid said.
“You are welcome” I said and smiled.
“It’s getting late I should get going now let me just call my friend and ask him to pick me up” Sid said.
“If you don’t mind I can drop you I have my bike” I said.
“Do you know how to ride bike?” Sid asked.
“Of course I do come on” I said.
We sat on the bike and started riding.
“If you have a bike why do go in a bus to collage?” Sid asked.
“Mom is scared to let me drive you know Indian parents” I said.
“Oh yes” Sid said.
“If you have a bike why do you go in a bus?” I asked.
“Because I don’t have a bike the bike is my friends I borrow the bike from him so that I can impress Meena” Sid said.
“Oh” I said and smiled.
He smiled back.
