Few Things Left Unsaid (7 page)

ME: ok listen, I am serious. You are my wife.

Riya: kidding?

ME: no, I am very much serious.

Riya: I do not think so, any ways bye. I have to leave.

ME: now what is this? why are you leaving? you are ignoring the topic???

Riya: I have to leave. Sorry my husband.ha ha...chat with you on sms.bye.

It made me very angry. Why did she always avoid this topic? Why do these girls like to irritate us. Why could they not be straightforward? I took my cell and sent her a text.

Dear, I am serious and I will tell what I want to say in front of everyone. I hope you will not let me down. Monday I will tell you something that my heart  says. Is it ok?

I called her up. She was in a bus. She was coming from her class. I asked her was she serious and wouldn’t let me down,or she was taking it lightly.

“Aadi am serious. I will not let you down. You say whatever you want to say. Even I am serious.”

“Pakka,your sure? It will be embarrassing for me if you….”

“Don’t worry my husband. I will not let you down. Do whatever you want.”

“Are you sure I can do whatever I want in public?” I started flirting.

“Naughty, keep the phone down bye.”She hung up.

I gave a thought to the matter. Was she serious? I was seriously going to propose her on Monday. I hoped she would say  yes. It was a weird feeling. Nervousness, excitement, fear everything together.

I hope she loved me

Was it a beginning of my relation…?

What would happen if she came to know about my past relationships? Would she accept me? I wanted to tell her that I had relationships in past. I wanted to tell her that she was not the first girl in my life. Nevertheless, she would be the last girl in my life. I was really amazed by her beauty. The way she used to talk with me. The way she cared for me. The way she used to force me to eat in the break. The way she used to send me a sweet good morning sms.The way we used to talk during nights. Everything was special. I could love her and appreciate her more than my life.

I thought of just flirting with her. It was already 11pm.But still I messaged her.

Are your legs tired?

She replied: why?

Because the entire day you were running through my mind. Arent you tired?

“Shut up Aadi…and go to sleep. Miss you. Take care.gn.sd.”

She loved me. She surely did. I wanted her to be with me always. She was creating magic in my life. Life had changed. I had become more responsible.

I called Sameer and Swapnil in morning. I asked them to meet me immediately. I was very much anxious to tell them whatever had happened;Whatever messages Riya and I shared with each other.

When I told them about every single sms after meeting them, they were not surprised. They knew this was bound to happen.

“So are you serious about her” Swapnil asked me.

“Yes, this time I am serious. Trust me. I want to marry her.”

“Did you tell her about your previous relationships?” Sameer added.

“No yaar, I will tell her on Tuesday itself after midterms get over.”

“Aadi she is a very sweet girl. I do not want any excuse later on. Are you serious about her? I treat her like my sister. I will kill you if your intentions are just to sleep with her.” Swapnil raised his voice.

“I am really serious man. Please do not take me wrong. I do not have any bad feelings about her. I really love her a lot. I just think of her all the time. It never happened before. If it was lust then I would have thought about her only when I was naked. However, it’s not the case. I want her to be my wife. Someone please trust me.”

They both looked at each other and finally smiled and said

“So what’s the plan for tomorrow?”

“I haven’t thought about it right now. All I know is I want 14
^th
November to be special. It should be remembered by me for the rest of my life. I want to show her I can really keep her happy. If some one could love her more than me then he would be the person who would write her name on sun with ice. He would be the only one who could love her more than me.”

“Have you asked her about her past?” Sameer asked

“No I haven’t, but she said during the game in the canteen that she doesn’t love anyone. So I did not think of asking her.”

“Aadi it was just a game. Maybe she also had a relationship earlier.”

“Oh shut up. This can’t happen. I know she is beautiful. She is hot. But she won’t lie. I trust her.” We all left after that. Till then we had smoked almost 10 cigarettes.

November.Monday.The day, which was going to be remembered forever. The day, I would get my love. The day, which would bring sunshine in my life. I won’t be the same Aadi anymore. I would be committed.I would be committed to a girl who was too good for me. She was the girl next door. Every boy would want a girlfriend like her. Every man would want a wife like her. However, I was the lucky one. God was showering all the happiness on me. It never rained in November. But today life would make me wet by raining on me. Each droplet will give a new face to my life. I really thanked God that I decided to do engineering. Otherwise I wouldn’t have met Riya.

1 message received. It was Riya.

Jab achanak unki yaad aati hai,

Dil me dhadkan rukh jaati hai,

Itni khoobsoorat hai unki aankhein,

Ki unse nazar milte hi,

Hamari nazar jhuk jaati hai.

I am waiting to listen to what you are thinking right now. Meet you in college.

I replied…

I am waiting for you to respond…

She replied.

What are you wearing? Wear green, it suits you. What should I wear?

I replied…

Wear anything dear, you look beautiful in any colour.

The best possible messages at that moment. It meant she also loved me. She did.

I wore a green shirt and left for college. On the way, I purchased a snow spray and ribbon spray used for birthday parties. I also purchased a red rose. We had maths paper at 11am. I was standing on the third floor. I saw her entering the college. My heart skipped a beat. She was looking amazing. I loved her too much. The paper started. I left the classroom in 15 min and told Riya and Swapnil to leave. I had told Sameer to keep his mobile on vibrator mode so that he could leave the paper as soon as I call him. He also joined us. Within 10 minutes, we were at the gate of our college.

I told everyone that we were going to the garden behind our college.Riya refused to come there. I feared that she was going to reject the proposal.Swapnil convinced her. They both shared a healthy relationship. She agreed and I told Swapnil and Riya to go ahead. I explained Sameer what my plan was and handed over the spray to him. I went ahead and asked Swapnil to wait for Sameer as he was the one who would explain Swapnil what the plan was.Riya and I moved ahead. We reached the garden.

I could feel the sense of fear in Riya’s eyes. Every girl has this fear. Even I was a bit nervous.

“What do you want to say? Why have you brought me here?”Riya asked me as if she did not know what was happening.

“You know why you are here.Dont you?”

“Yes I know it. But I want to hear it from you.”

I had kept the rose in one hand, hiding it from her. She had a mischievous look in her eyes. My heartbeats were increasing continuously. I never had this feeling before. Should I go ahead and do whatever I had planned or should I keep it simple? However, I wanted this moment to be special. Not simple. I looked into her eyes. It said the same. She also wanted this moment to be special. Every girl wants that her guy should propose to her in the best way he can.Riya was no different. I decided  to make it special.

“Ready?” I asked her.

“Yes, go on.” she replied.

And the special moment began.

I told her to close her eyes. She was afraid of doing that. I told her to trust me. She closed her eyes. I gave a look at Swapnil and Sameer. They were ready with what they had to do. Even I was prepared. I bent down on my knees, kept the rose in my hand and said…

You are my best friend. A friend like you is hard to get. However, a life partner like you for a person like me is impossible…

She opened her eyes and looked at me.

Really, I don’t deserve a girl like you, I am a flirt, I have the worst image, but still I want to change. I want to improve. I want a girl who can improve me. And its you my bachha.I know you are the one and only, you are my everything. You are the love of my life. I love you babe. And every time I see you, I just want to hug you and never let you go. You are special to me. You make me complete. I will never leave you alone in this relationship. Love you. Do you wish to be my beloved?

She had tears in her eyes. Tears of happiness. She just nodded and said…

I love you too my bachha…love you a lot. Thanks for this moment.

She accepted the rose. I stood up and we hugged each other. As soon as we hugged each other, Sameer started blowing the snow spray and Swapnil blew the ribbon spray. Snow and ribbons were all over our bodies.

She was overwhelmed with whatever I had done for her. We hugged each other for sometime. We looked into each other’s eyes. Her eyes asked me whether I would be with her forever. My eyes replied to her that I was with her always & forever…

We left the garden, holding hands, looking in to each others eyes. It was so beautiful. A new life had started. I succeeded in making this moment memorable for our lifetime.

I tried hard to control my feelings, but was falling for her deeper with each passing day. I tried to hide my love from her. I tried to convince my heart that she was just a friend. But it was a lie. Deep inside I was falling in love. I tried to avoid looking into her eyes. But I couldn’t.

A simple glance turned into a stare. Still I pretended that I did not care.

However, today I am with her. I am with my love. I hope it’s not a dream. I wanted someone to pinch me. I hoped everything was real. I wanted to shout to the whole world that I was in love.

I called her as soon as I reached home.

“What is my bachha doing?” I asked her.

“I am making tea for my mom. Then I have to go to the general stores. And later I have to teach my brother.”

“Uhhh, packed schedule.Good.What about your husband? Even I want to have tea made by you”

“Come home then. My mom will give you tea. In addition, sweets also. After all her son in law would be coming home for the first time.”

“Let it be. Better, I stay at home. You do you work.”

“Miss you. I want to give you a tight hug, you made my day special. I have saved it in my notes. Thanks for everything. It was the best. I can’t get better life partner than you.”

“Even I am missing you a lot. You just want to hug me. I am feeling like kissing you, touching your hair. Hugging you tight.” romance was in my mind and I said it.
