A Simple Love Story.. Part 18.. Friend Indeed..

Posted by sti | Labels: , ,


It Is Better To Promise Nothing Than Try And Give Everything.
Than To Promise Everything And Give Nothing..
Because Expectations Hurt, And Reality Slaps...

I hadn't told Sarah about whatever happened at his place and our travel..
And my supposedly way of proposing.. For me which didn't even seem true..

She had picked up after 3 rings.. It was a long time..
I had found out the delay's reason.. It was Richard who picked up my call.. And obviously he was going to hear whatever I speak now..
I told her whatever happened.. From my apology, to his thoughts, to Ned's mom's reactions, the scene back at home and the travel cum my words to him...

Sarah took a breath.. "So you told him and he said he didn't feel soo..??"
I thought for a second.. I had made it quite elaborately clear..
"Yes.."
I could hear her saying Richard that she wanted to talk to me alone..
"Well, What else happened during travel..? Tell me..."
I started blinking.. "What? What do you mean??"
Sarah spoke in a very plain voice.. "You know what I'm asking girl.. Out with it.. Now.."

I started looking very sheepish.. "A hug.. That's all..."
"And you aren't going to cross any more limits until you get committed you get that..?" Sarah was glowering in anger..

I was nervously running my fingers through my hair.. "Not planning on anything.. But why are you so angry...?"

Sarah was gritting her teeth.. "why didn't he accept..?"
She was surmounting in anger, and I failed to understand the reason why..
"Accept what??" I said munching chips..
'Potato is good, but something with chilly would've been better', I was thinking..
" I knew you wouldn't see it Ann..."
I was losing my patience.. "See what girl??"
Sarah burst out.." Don't you see... the fact that your heart is now broken..? There's every possiblity that he ain't coming back Ann... Did you see it.. I feel like throttling his neck.. He should've accepted.. I mean how can he say he doesn't know.. He ought to know..."

I sat up.. "And what did you expect to happen..? His accepting immediately n duet songs in the bus.. Now C'mon Sar.. When Was I Lucky With Anything.. ? Things Take Time To materialise.. "
"Its a guy's job Ann.." Sarah pouted..

"No, it isnt.. Anyone who needs a relationship must have patience.. You can't expect every girl to be swept off the feet.. Sometimes you have to take the cue.. watch what is happening ad hope it comes to you... And I, my Dear.." I said as I got up.."Don't believe in things coming without effort.. It is meant to be, It will and It has to come back to me... "

I knew very well that Sarah didn't expect this to happen.. Though I wasn't a friend of Ned at school.. I Knew him even before Sarah came in the picture.. And Seeing Whatever Happened.. I wasn't surprised,.. I expected him...
In fact, This was my first expectation.. That he wouldn't agree..
Sarah was saying about her and Richard's evening plans.. And My stomach was growing sick...
'I know that my heart has been broken.. And The one who will fix the pieces is exactly the same one who broke it...' I was silently thinking to myself.. And wiping the tear down my cheek... ' And I Shall not rest till I fix my personal life..'

It Is Better To Promise Nothing Than Try And Give Everything.
Than To Promise Everything And Give Nothing..
Because Expectations Hurt, And Reality Slaps...

A Simple Love Story.. Part 17.. Silent Realisations..

Posted by sti | Labels: , ,

Often Heart is a silly Thing..
It Always Acts In Haste And Repents
In leisure...
I Had got down and Ned had continued his journey...
promising to keep in touch through miles and all the tough times...
"Promises must be kept.." I remembered saying to him as we bid a good-bye at the early hours of the day..

I had reached my hostel only to know that the classes had been called off due to a local riot..
'So much for all the early arrival..' I thought as I took a shower...

Coming back into my room.. I changed and looked at myself in the mirror..

What I saw wasn't me at all..
I Could see myself as the better half of a guy.. Loaded with responsibilities..
But, Of course Bonded With Love...

I remembered every love quote I had ever came across in my life till that day...
How I would rest on his shoulders, watching sunsets..
How I would wake him up in the morning..
How it would feel having him in my life..
How Proud would I feel When he shows me as his girl..


And..
I put on a very thoughtful look on my face and an finger over my nose..
Suddenly, all smiles seemed to have vanished from my face...
I Looked again at my image
and thought:
'Wait a sec, Ann... That also means I have to bear his kids... OH MY GOD!!
Oh, And Those silly stupid cutie-pies sweety's.. love u's miss u's Oh honey what would i not do to meet u now.. And All crap!
I was walking furiously across my room.. "Shit, why didn't it occur to me before, God, Tell me why??"
I suddenly threw my hands in mid-air and remembered what my bro had told me "For a guy how much ever you speak about love, commitment and marriage, physical love is what comes to their head first.. And you cannot deny it.. It is not bad sis, We feel that Through a touch we can undeniably say a million things, that your tonnes and tonnes of greetings and poems fail to convey!!"
'Wait A Minute...' I Thought Again putting on a thinking cap.. 'Well, I Didn't think about physical frankly.. Will I be comfortable...?'
One sec I Thought, The next moment I threw Myself Back... 'Hell No!!!!!!'

And Then Sarah's lecture came to my head... "When you say u love someone, do it whole-heartedly, there is no point in saying you like him.. and the adding that you don't trust him enough to say what you feel and what you are comfortable with..."
Thinking about it now, I felt she had a very good point... I smiled..
'Probably, I'm just over-reacting...' I thought and laughed...
His smiling face came into my head...
I Blushed and hugged my pillow... And thought:
'So much for all the tomboyish fights!!!!' And was silently laughing to myself....
Often Heart is a silly Thing..
It Always Acts In Haste And Repents
In leisure...

A Simple Love Story- Part 13 Hidden truths..

Posted by sti | Labels: ,

It Takes A Second To Convince The One You Like
That You Are Sorry..
Just A Glance Is Worth A Million Words..

Even before I headed to the exit door of Sarah's I could hear the roar of his bike.. He was long gone...
I looked at myself.. A track and sleeveless dint seem like a good thing to wear to his home.. Considering that it was the first time I was going to go in there..
I just banged her door.. In frustration.. 'Why, Why does it happen to me.. To hell with me and my views...' I thought as I was coming back to her home..
Sarah was desperately anxious .. She seemed as if, If I didn't speak a word, she would cry bitterly...
"It's all right.." I said as I sighed and started.. "Me and my big mouth.. So much for knowing the limits with a guy.. Sigh.."
Amidst all my confusions in a choking voice.. Sarah said.. "He likes you Ann, It was his idea to throw a party.."
I felt really bad.. "And I like an idiot, spoiled everything..."
Sarah felt guilty.. She was clinging Richard's hand so hardly that I for a moment thought it was going to break..
I went on and placed a small kiss on her forehead, It was completely not like me.. I never liked kisses.. They gave me an impression that the probability of their teeth being brushed is same as that of the vice versa.. Yuck! I always thought..Some how I thought though that was the only thing that could relieve the stress lines on her forehead..
"Its okay.. Now will you do me a small help... "
Sarah lit up immediately.. "Anything for you sweetheart..?"
I went inside took a towel and threw it on her face.. "Go, Take a bath and get ready to go to Nickerson's place.. Its high time I apologize.."

In A few Minutes, we were all packed to go to Ned's place.. I hadn't been there ever before and I had no idea how the place was going to be.. Neither about the people in there..
'How am I going to explain to him, in the whole world..' I thought.. as we were travelling..

And finally, we had reached.. Sarah went over and rung the door bell..
A cheerful lady, opened the door..
She planted a kiss on Sarah's cheek.. "Hello, my darling how are you doing? And lemme see.." She said eyeing at Richard.. "someone is looking too good to be true.. "
Richard laughed.. "Oh, look who is speaking about that.." He winked..
And finally she looked down at me.. "I am sorry, My memory failed me this time.. Else how could I forget someone like you.."
I gave it a thought.. "err.. This is the first time we are meeting.. So no faults in your memory.." I said.. "Anny Drew.. " I said extending my hand for a shake.. By the time Sarah and Richard had left in..
"So you are the Drew girl I keep hearing about..??" She asked me smiling..
"Yeah, I believe so.. I was in town and I was passing by and thought I could drop in for a while.."
She placed her hand on my shoulders and led me in .. "please make yourself comfortable.."
As I went in, I knew that I liked the home.. A small and nice place... With A few little paintings and crafts,, probably contributed by the female inmates of the home.. And a few smiling snaps.. Probably on account of memories..
And a glass dining table, on which all three of them had already settled down...
Just one look at him in there, I turned pale..
Thankfully Mrs.Nickerson had left to get us some food..
I sat next to him.. My gaze totally down.. I was so ashamed thinking what I had already spoken... The whole atmosphere had become totally uncomfortable, nobody knew what to speak..
"Ned, I..." I begun..
He looked at me, rather stared.. "What?"
'ok baby, Things aren't going to go well today....'I thought..
Mrs.Nickerson had come to save me.. "Ned, why don't you show her your room??" She suggested.. He didn't call me.. He had left.. Obviously wanting me to follow...
His room was even better.. So light And open.. With a variety of books and few random attitude quote posters..
Somehow, I knew I had to speak..
"Your room looks good.." I said.. Staring at his childhood picture...
"Mom says that too.. "He said and sat on the bed..
I was standing straight opposite to him.. Ned sat on his bed and Mockingly said, "You see there, That is the chair.. You can pull it and sit.. I know, you don't feel comfortable sitting next to me.." I wanted to cry.. It was hurting me... Hurting me a lot..
I was lost in my thoughts.. He stood up and pulled on the chair.. "I hope you don't mind that I touched that chair.. Is that a problem too, Your highness..??"
I had had enough of this.. He was bent on making me feel guilty that day.. I wheeled around took his hand and interlinked my fingers in them...
Almost, I regretted that moment.. That my tear fell on his hand...
"I swear, I didn't mean anything that way.. You don't know how much I need affection right now.." I said and I choked...
I brushed my tear.. And spoke out whatever I felt..
"To be left down, in a city where you know nothing or no one down the street, with none expecting back at home.. Dazzled in a maze, wondering which way to go, is what you can describe it in short..
And you, You are the only one to whom, I'm saying the truth.. Even in my wildest nightmares I couldn't dream of hurting you.. I wasn't sure what I meant to you.. That was My mistake.. Ignorance was the reason such a thing happened..." I tightened my clasp on his hand, looked into his eyes and said "Just trust me..."

I looked down.. I wasn't able to control and suppress all those depressions which I had hid from everyone, since I was five years old.. when I realized what I meant to a few...
Ned looked at me and held my face..
"No matter what happens from now on, I'll be always there for you.. In which ever way you want me to..." He said..
I knew something very well...
He had no idea how much his words meant to me right then and how badly I wanted to call him mine that moment..
'I'm falling for him, Falling very badly.." I realised as we were leaving his room...
An anxious Sarah and her guy were sitting across the table.. Along with the lady who saved my day..
She begun "Ned, you better have your breakfast.. You haven't eaten a morsel of food every since dawn.."
To be frank, even I hadn't.. The guilt had choked me so much that food just couldn't be swallowed..
Sensing that we had come together back.. Sarah decided that it was better I had sometime alone.. So she sped of with her guy on a long drive, bidding our host a big good-bye..
"Oh, by the way Mrs.Nickerson, even this girl hasn't eaten since morn.. You promise you will take care of her for me.. ??"
She smiled.. And took me in her embrace and said.. "I promise you..."
Little did she know that the other hand was safe with her own blood, her own son...

It Was Me, Anny drew... I Had Come To Her Place For Helping Her In Her Party preparations..
Right Now, I Was Throwing All Necessary Things From the Upper Shelf..
She Was Continuously yelling And It Was Beginning To Annoy Me...
"Look Reynolds.. If You Shout Once More.. I Swear Ll Make Sure All Articles Land On Your Head..."
She Had To Shut Up... Coz Sarah knew Ann's Temper Was Unpredictable.. And Right Now She Needed Her To Do The Job.. Coz With her Frilled Skirt She Couldn't Even Properly Stand On The Ladder.. Let Alone Taking Things Down..
Whereas Ann As Usual Was In Her Lavendar Shirt And A Dark Blue jean... It Wouldn't Be That Difficult For Her To Do That...
"all Right... M Not Yelling You Be Careful.. Right?"
"Ok.."
Just When I Finished Unloading Things And Unpacking All Things.. A Male Soft But Strong Voice Cut In...
"Hello Ladies "
I Could've Recognized the Voice... It Was Richard.. Sarah's Boyfriend.. He Came Up To Her And Hugged Her Quietly.. And I Could See That she was loving it... no matter what I Felt..
I was mumbling To Myself.. "Perfect Timing.. Saviour Boyfriend..Sigh.."
"And How Are You Doing Ann?" He Looked Up At Me...
"yeah M fine... As You Can See That..."
Richard Quipped.. "Its You Who Doesn't See Ann.. I Always See.."
I Gritted My teeth... "Right.. Sar, M Going To Check Out The Kitchen.. ll See You In The Evening.."
I Was Unable To Look at her... I would hurt her.. I Knew that.. And Anyways Kitchen Was The Safest Place.. Richard Was Intelligent Enough To Do The Unpacking... How much Ever I hated To Admit It, He Was Perfect For Her....
"You Should Be Preparing For Around A 100 people... Make Sure Everything Tastes Good and Is presented Well..." I was Giving my final round of instructions to the workers and the chef.. Everything seemed to work out well... After All I Was In-Charge And Organizing Things Was My Charm...
"How Could I Ever Thank You Ann..."
I Spun Around To See... Of Course, It Was Sarah...
but She Was Looking Mesmerisingly Beautiful..
She Had Worn A Long White Gown... With pink Bows... And She Had let Her Hairs Run Down.. Her Long Honey Colored hair was amazing curly that day..
And Right By Her Side.. Was In Tux.. of Course Richard.. Even He was Looking Handsome...
I was Slightly off my feet ... Tears welled up in my eyes as i saw the lovely couple...
"Anny.."
"Ya..."
"Are U Ok Dear...?"
"You Both Look Stunning... Absolutely Like The Apple Of EveryOne's Eye.."
Richard And Sarah Looked Confused... They Started Staring At Each Other.. And Suddenly Richard Spoke...
"Thats Kind Of You Ann.. Thank You.. Thanks A Lot.."
"No, Seriously I Mean It Richard.. You Look Strikingly Handsome..."
At That Point Of Time.. I Went Over and Put My Hand In His...
I Swear If Sarah Had A Camera At That Moment ,She Wouldve taken Our Snap In All Angles.. Nobody Knows When It Would Happen Again... That Was The Difficulty...
"Ok.. Since You Guys Are Here.. I'd Better Get Going.. I'll Get Ready And Be Back In A While... Richard Take Care Of Her.."
Richard Slid His Arms Around Sarah's Waist... "I Will" Came The Assured Reply..
I Went Over The Dressing Room.. Took A Quick Shower.. And Changed Into A New Pair Of Black jean.. A Pale Blue Shirt And A White Coat... I Hadn't Given A Thought About My dress... Even Though I Wanted To Make Sure He Noticed..
The He, Obviously Was Ned Nickerson...
For The Past Few Days.. I Had Been Quite Wondering About What Is Happening In My Life... But The VEry Thought Of Meeting Him Today Made Me Shiver Excitedly From Tip To Toe...
Giving One last Look At The Mirror... I headed Over To Kitchen...
"So Everythings Over..??" I Asked As I Peeped Into The Kitchen...
"Yeah"Came The Immediate Reply Of Richard...
Sarah Had Obviously Left for welcoming the guests..
Richard looked at me skeptically...
"well, White Looks Good On you..."
I grinned... "Thanks"
We Were Over looking into All Arrangements..
"say Ann, We could've been good friends right??"
"Yeah.. If You weren't her boyfriend and I Wasn't Her Best Friend..."
We Both Laughed As We Knew It Was The Truth...
"May I Know What The Joke Is..???"
I Wheeled Around In Joy.. I Was Nervous All Over.. I Could See Him In A Plain White Shirt.. Showing His Muscular Build... And sleeve Rolled Up.. Along With A Jean Exactly Like Mine...
"Hi Ann.. Hi Richard.."
He Came Up To Richard.. And There I Could Witness A Formal Handshake...
"So I Heard From Sarah That You Guys Are Handling The Kitchen...?"
"Yep.." I Managed To Answer.. Though My Head Was On A High...
"And I Guess Everything Is Almost Over.... It Looks And Smells Good.."
Richard Laughed... And Said "It Tastes Good Too... Anny Handled Everything...."
He Winked At Me...
"I .. I Guess I Did It.."
Ned Spoke Briskly... " that's Nice To Hear Ann... Well.. I Think Richard And I Should Get Going.. And I Can See That Even You Need To Get Ready... So See You Around.."
For A Moment....
The Castle I Had Built Suddenly Crashed... I Felt So Stupid Of myself...
Richard led Ned To The Door...
But Came back And Said "I'll Send Her... Don't Worry.."
Before Sar Came .. Again I Was Confused.. How Could He Say That I Had To Get Ready.. I Was Perfect To My eyes...
Sarah Came Huffing In Mid air...
"How dare he say something Like that to you.. "Sarah's eyes looked down at mine.. as I was Sitting Down Numbly...
"Sar.." I Began...
"You Just Don't Speak A Word... I'll Show That Guy What You Can Be Like.. I'll Help You Dress Up..."
"NO.. Don't EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!"
I Had Been Thunderingly loud...
Sarah Was Staring At ME.. "What?"
I Sighed... And Let Down A Tear...
"No... Sarah.. This Is Me... And I Cant Become Like You... I'll Be A Joker.."
I Just Spoke And Left The Place...
Thinking:


I'm Me... That's All I Can Ever Be!

A Simple Love Story-Part 8 HomeAlone And HomeAway..

Posted by sti | Labels: ,

They Say Destiny.. They Say Its Meant To Be...
But Sometimes..
It Just happens...!
And So.. After The First Day Of My College I Headed Back To The Hostel.. I Opened The Room And For A Second I Thought Sarah Had Come Back In There...
Yeah Sarah Reynolds... Anny Drew's Best Friend...
But It wasn't Her...
It was A Bunch Of People Whom I Failed To Recognise At Plain Sight...
My Roomate Emily Ashes Classmates..

"Hi Anny..." Emily Pouted as she came out from The Gang Giving Me A Big Smile..."How Was The First Day Girl?"
"Yeah Fine... U Guys Gonna Party Or What??"
"Oh... Nothing Like Dat Girl.. We Are Kind Of Trying To Know each Other.. Why Don't You Join Us?"
One Look At The Crowd I knew I would Never Be One Among Them.. Everyone Was Dressed Up Perfectly... No One Was Tomboyish Like Me.. Their Jean Exactly Ended Up Near The Knee.. Showing Off Their Perfect Features... And I Knew Even If Had Searched My Whole Wardrobe.. I Still Would Be Out Of Crowd...
"Err... No.. I Have A Few Phone Calls To Do... My Mom Would Be Getting Worried..."
"Ok.. carry On Girl"
'I Should Have Said A Better Lie' I Thought As I Left The Room... 'I Should Ve Said something else'
I Dint know where To Head... I hadn't went For A Hostel tour.. So I thought I Should Do That...
But Everywhere Where I Saw I Saw People Chatting With Some one Or The Other..
The First Brush Of Loneliness...
I Decided To Call Sarah....

After A Few Rings She Picked Up My Call...
"Hi Ann..."
"Hello Sar.. How Are You Doing?"
I could hear the honking of horns and sounds of traffic... To Me It seemed like A dream.. Because I Had Always Been In A Busy Scenario And suddenly The Whiff of The Wind And The Rustle Of The Leaves Was What I Could All Hear..
"I'm Fine Drew... Got A Lot of Friends? How Did Your First Day Go?"
Then I Went On Saying About How My Classes Went on and Said About Jeff Jordan...
"Whoa... So Jeff Jordan eh?? Is He Hot.. ?? Is he Intelligent??" She went on asking soo much about someone whom I din't Know...
"Hold It.. You Aren't Taking This Anywhere.. The Guy Isn't Worth A Penny... And As Usual Guys Are Good As Buddies... Its Better To hi-5 Them Than Ask For Love..."
"yeah Yeah... Blah Blah.. You Keep saying This... The-Guy-Isn't-Worth-A-Penny... I-Don't Respect-Him.. Blah Blah... And Hey You know What??"
Her Typical way of mocking me made me laugh... I brushed a tear and asked"What?"
" I think I Should Make Of List Of These Guys..."
"Oh, And Why Do You Think So??"
"Well.. Lately Ive Noticed That The Guys You Brushed Aside Are The Ones That You Ask Sorry To Talk Late Nights.. Laugh With And All.."
I Didnot even let her complete... "Look.. Ms.Reynolds.. I'm Not Talking To Any Guy All Right...?"
"Ms.Drew Think Before You Speak.." And She Maintained Such A Pause I Actually Thought If She Was Present In Front Of Me She Would Have That Twinkle In Her Eyes..
Then Suddenly It Stuck My Mind..
"Oh Ned... You Meant Him, Din't You??"
"yeah... Ned Nickerson.. He Was Saying About All this... And To hell With You Ann.. Why Didn't You Tell Me??"
"Well.. I Don't Know.. I Didn't Think It Was Important.." I Broke Off In the Middle Of Statement .. Wondering Why I Didn't Tell Her...
"Not Important Enough??? Or You Wanted Privacy??"
"I Don't Know.. I Just Don't..."
Sarah reynolds Drew A Deep Breath..
"I Can't Believe Its You, Who Doesn't Have An Explanation For What I Am Asking..."
"Well..." I Was Muttering To Myself..
A Deep Horn came Up.. And Hence She Left That Topic There..
"And Hey Ann.. I Forgot To Tell You... There Is A Party This Week.. At My Place And You Are Coming.."
I was Giving it A Thought For A Second..
"Well... Sar I Would Love To, but You Know Rather Than staying Back At home, I would prefer Staying Alone.."
She was Going To Be Angry..
"Well.. Okay.." And She Started Laughing...
I Was surprised .. "What Is So Funny??"
"Well... Ned Is Coming This Week... You Pretty Sure You Don't Want To Come?"
I Wanted to... Yay!!
"Ms.Sarah Reynolds... I Owe You One... Thank You, I'm Coming..."
Sarah just laughed and we went on speaking about all the usual days and routines...
"You know Sar .. I Never thought I Would Be Excited In Meeting Him.. But This is the First Time I'm Going To Meet Him After He spoke To Me.. I Somehow get A Thought That It Is Going To be Different ..."
"ooo.. Different uh.. Lets See.. Ned Has A Charm Of His Own Ann.. you Cannot deny it Right?"
She was Bent on pulling my leg with him.. because for her 'my guy' always meant him... Ned...
I Shook Myself From All The Thoughts As She Asked Me "Dreaming uh??"
I Was Ashamed To Admit it..
"No.. Of Course Not... He Maybe Charming... But It Won't Work On Me.. He Is My Friend"
"Say It To Some Kid With A Candy Dear... I Don't Buy It... "
She Wouldn't Leave And She Was Right.. So There Was No Way I Could Convince Her...
"So How Is Richard?"
This was My safest Bet... When You Want To Save Your Guy Then Pull Hers In..
She went on saying about his college and her life... And I Was Sub-conciously Thinking..
'Hold On A Minute Ann... Your Guy??!!'
And Then Ned's Call Was In Waiting.. I bid adieu to Sar... And Picked His call..

"Hi Baby.."
I Was trying To Convince Myself.. 'It's Him... He can Say.. But Who is He'
Questions were wavering in my head...
"hello.. Are You Listening To Me..??"
Suddenly I realized That I Hadn't Replied Him..
"ya... Ya Sorry... I'm Here.. Hii.. How Was Your Day?"
He Drew A Deep Breath..
"I Won't Lie... Annoying.."
I Was Taken aback.. The Once Cheerfulness of the Hunk Ned Nickerson Seemed To Be Gone.. His Optimism Seemed To Be Exhausted...
"Why What Happened??"
He Went On Pouring About His Day I Didn't Know How To Say Him That Things Are Going To Be Okay.. Because He Knew That Too.. But Maybe He Needed A Shoulder To Cry Upon..
I Listened Patiently.. And Then He Said..
"Did Sar Call You.. ??"
"Oh Yeah She Did.."
"And She Musve Invited You Too.."
"Obviously I'm Her Friend.."
I Was Grinning.. This Was Funny!!!
"So I'm Going To See You In There.. Right??"
I Was In A Naughty Mood..
"Hold On A Second.. I Said I was Invited Not That I'm Coming.. So I don't Know.."
Ned Was silent..
I Went On ..
"So You Want To Meet Me In There, eh??"
Some How I Felt Ned Was Suppressing A Laughter As He Spoke..
"You Know Something Ann... Way Back In High School You Were jealous Of Me Only Because You Thought I was more close to Sar Than You..."
A smile crossed my face remembering of the good old days...
"ya, Now That You say This It Is True..."
"Well, I Never Thought It Was True Until today..."
I was puzzled.. I Was Asking something and he was talking about something else...
"Why.. What Happened ??"
Ned Burst Out Laughing And It Was Annoying Me..
"All Right If Your Laughing Spree Is Over.. Do I Get To Know What The Joke Is??"
In between The Laughters He Managed To Say... "She..."(Laughs) "She told Me That You Were Coming.."(laughs Out loud) "that's Why I called.."
Again I Swear If I Had Known rabbit Holes.. I Would've Dug Myself Out..
I Was Tingling In Embarrasment .. I Was Caught Badly.. Very Badly...
Then Ned Cleared His Throat And Said..
"Still If You Want To hear It In My Own Voice.. Here It Goes...
Miss.Anny Drew..??"
I Just Replied With A Faint Yes..
"Mr.Ned Nickerson Would Be Highly Delighted To Have Your Esteemed Presence In The Party.."
I bit My Lip.. This Was All Too Much Than I Ever Wanted...
"Mademoiselle.."
"yes?"
"Will You Do Me The Honours Lady?"
I Smiled and said...
"The Pleasure Is All Mine Monsieur..."
At That point with a silent good bye.. The phone Clicked..
I had A Single Thought In My Mind..
"What Is Happening..."

They Say Destiny.. They Say Its Meant To Be...
But Sometimes..
It Just happens...!

A Simple love story.. Part-3 Flawless fighting.... :D

Posted by sti | Labels: , ,

I Had Been Leaning On His Shoulders As The Sun Poured Into Our Living Room Through The Open French Windows...
He was That Guy Who Had Made My Life Perfect...
right Now Was Busy Scanning My Website And Furiously Reading Through It In His Laptop...

"One Thing Ann Is Evident Going Through Your Stuff...." Said Ned.... Rubbing His chin Thoughtfully....

The Familiar Sound Of My Name.. Ann.. Anny Drew-Nickerson Made Me Feel Good....
'Leaning On His Shoulders Made Me Feel So Comfy' I Thought...

"What Ned?" I Had Managed To Ask Him Through All Those Tantalizing Thoughts Running In My Mind... If He Had Came To Know Abt Em Now.. He Would Again Sweep Me Off My Feet Is All I Thought...

He Took his Eyes Off The Laptop And Looked Into Mine...
For A Second, I Thought They Could Read What Lies Inside...

"You Sure Did Hate Me More Than What You Love Right Now.... :D" He Started Throwing Back His Head And Laughing....
I Was Angry... Soo Much For Romance!!! :D
I Took A Pillow Threw On His Head And walked Across The Length Of The Room... And Was Silently Laughing To Myself... If He Had Caught Me Doing It, He Would Never Let Me Forget....
As I took My Morning Coffee And Headed Out To The Balcony..
I Knew I Was Being Wrapped Up By Two familiar Hands From Behind....
I Subconsciously Leaned Back And Let All Emotions Wash Off Me...
"Mrs.Nickerson??"
"ya.... Mr.Nickerson...??"
He Dug His Face In My Neck As He Always Loved To Do...
"One Thing About You Is Definitely Sure Mademoiselle.."
I Turned Back And Cupped His Face... What A Guy!!
"And That Is....??"
"Your Subconscious Feelings Are Never Going To Change...." :D
Saying This He Made A Face At Me And Ran....
I Gave Up Running Behind...
"And Neither Yours...."
I Thought to Myself: :
"OLD HABITS DIE HARD....Harder than ever......"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



After That nice cosy party Of Sarah... I Had Had Enough Fun Hanging With People... I Began To Work out My Own Schedule...
Though i Was A Tomboy, I Knew Many Things That Typical Girls Do.... knitting, Embroidery... So I Quietly decided to spend the rest of my holidays that way!
i Had Just Came Out From A Shower... It Was Yet Another Typical day .... Mom And dad had Gone For some job... And I Was Having The Home All To Myself.... :)
I Was Humming And Moving Around The Room, Busily Browsing That Day... Having Towel On My Head Still Lingering on to those wet hairs Of Mine....
And Suddenly There Was A Knock On The Door...

"YOU???"
"yeah, Its Me... hoping for someone else..???"
"Of Course Not... Err.. Be My Guest... Please Come In..."
It Was Him... Ned.. For The First Time Someone Had Come To My Home UnAnnounced... SomeOne Had Come To See Me!!!!! :) :)
"Your Mum is Not In here..." He Said As He Observed The Whole Home So Deep Plunged In Silence...
"Yeah, U R Right... She Had Some Small Errands To Be Run... And Thus She Left Me Alone..."
"Hmmm... Ok Fine..."
Suddenly he started Staring At Me As If He Had Never Seen Me Before..... I Couldnt Avoid His Gaze... It Was Almost Paralyzing....
"Umm... Ahem..."
"Well... Is Your Hairstyle the Latest Trend Or What???"
'If There Had Been free Rabbit holes I Swear I Wouldve Dug My Head In There Sarah....'
Sarah Replied still Unable To Beleieve What Anny Drew Was Saying 'Y ?? What Was So Embarassing??"
The Tinge On Anny's Cheek Deepened, Sarah Observed...

In The Thought Of Having A New Guest Back Home, I Had Completely forgotten The Fact That My Towel Was Still In My Head....
"Oh.. This.... U Meant??" Ann Saw Her Head...
"Jus Gimme A Sec, ll Be Right Back... "
"Thats Ok... Can I use Your System If You Dont Mind....???"
"yup.. Help Yourself.."
Making Sure He Was Comfortable in my system.... I headed into my room... let my hair fall on my shoulders... It Wasnt very Long... But Presently it was wet....
I Was Wearing A Tight Indian Costume.. The Punjabi pathiala... The Thing I Got From My Indian Friend...
"So.. What Are You Surfing????"
"Cricinfo.. Jus Wanna To Know About Yday Match..."
He Spun Around To See Her...
And He Knew What He Saw... A Girl Fair As The Moon... With Nothing Else on Her Face.. And The Beautiful Wet Tresses Which Ended In Her Shoulders... Not Exactly combed.. But Beautifully Messed Up... :)
"So... How Did You come here??"
He Suddenly Took His Eyes Off And Sheepishly Looked Down...
"Well... I Had A Work Nearby... So I Thought U Know I could Just Drop In...!"
"well... This Is A Lovely Surprise..." And She Gave Him A Big Smile...
At That Point Of Time, Sarah called...
"Oh Hi.. Ann... I Was Bored... What On Earth Are You Doing??"
Ned Was Seriously Staring Me ... As If If I Dint Let Him speak To Sarah.. He Would Kill Me...
"oh.. Sar... Umm.. Ned Wans To Speak To you...??"
"Ned... ?? Is He There???"
"Ya... One Sec Stay On Line..."
'hey Sar Baby.... Ned Here.."
"Whoa, Ned! What Are You doing With Ann????"

" the Drew Residence Covering ceiling mademoiselle... Above That There Is Your Almighty... :), lol... Temme how r u??"
"M Good Dog... M Too Good... Life Is Beautiful... So How Are You... Howz Life going???"
"Lifes good... "
Since they both were speaking, I started Back To Browsing.. Sensing they might need some private space...
'I think Your friend got offended that I' Not Speaking With her And Spending with You, Being At Her Place.." Ned Said
"Who, Ann?? No She wouldn't Mind... She IS Different.. She Isn't Typically Girlish..."
"Well... That's Intresting.... Anyways I m Leaving Now sar.. Take care n Bye...."
"Yup Bye Ned..."
.................................
When I Heard The Fone Click, I Knew He Would Be Back...
"So What Did Sar Say..??"
"Nthng Much... I Think Its Time I Leave...."
I Spun Around And Mouthed.. "So Soon?????"
Ned Was Surprised "You Want Me To Stay...????"
It was Embarassing.... I Didnot Know what To Say Or How To React... I DID Want Him To Stay... But Dint Want To say... :D
" Ok...lol.. LL Leave Now..."
"Well.. Ok... If U Think So... But Do take Care..."
"Uhh... I Will All Right... Bye!"
"Bye Ned..."
I had Shut The Door... 'that Guy Isn't Bad'....
Maybe Not the Best Also... Maybe Somewhere In Between....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


----------------------------
"Shit... How Did Forget That Episode Anny... Ya I remember You And Ned Called Na... ???"
I Was Laughing ... "ya... But Then Neither Of Us Had The Question Of Love..... In Our Minds dear..."
"Then How... How.... You Guys Are So different...!!!!"
I Took The Last Sip Of My Coffee, Put The Cup Down And Leaned Back....
"DIfferent..."
"Differences Shouldnot Complicate Relationship Sarah... They Should Complement...."
Sarah was taken aback... but she leaned back and thought.... Richard.... I so Miss You....

A Simple Love Story.... :) Part 1

Posted by sti | Labels:


Dedicated to My Friend's sis.. Rohini.. Who Promised Me She Would Read All The Stuff I Write..lol :)

(purely fictious... None OF the Incidents Are Based On Reality :P)


"A life To Live... A Life To Love...."
Is All What Our Girl Thought... She Was No Princess... She Was Yet Another Girl, A Tomboy... She Had Grown Up Seeing Guys... She Never Thought Of Her Guy To Be Prince Charming And All.. She Led A Simple Life... Surrounded By Happiness... All Her Friends Were So Fantasized With Love And In Love... She Never Beleieved in Love... She Beleieved Only In Living....

But Poor Girl Wasn't spared By Destiny!!!!!!

Her Love Story Was One Of A Kind.. The Guy Was One Of Her Higher Grade Classmate... She Hated Him To Death... Coz She Never Got The Life He Was Living...
" You Better Stay Away From My Friends
You Get That???""
To All These Bizzare Accusations And Strange Questions, The Guy Just Gave A Smile :)

The Guy Was A Prankster... Knowing That He Could Easily Annoy The Girl... He Used To Tease Her...
Whenever she Went With Her Friend... He Would Make It A Point To Stand In Front Of Them And Wish Just Her Friend A Good Day And Never Even See The Girl... She Used To Fret And Fume..... :(
What Used To Add Fuel To The Fire Was The Fact That The Guy Was Mr.popular....

One fine day.. When they were unfortunately alone in the classroom in the early hours...
He Was Playing with his pen..
The Girl Was scribbling Furiously...
He Asked : "Isn't Your Friend Here?"
She Was Angry.. She wanted To Say Why Don't You Leave Her..?
She Said "No, I Don't Know..."
The Guy Suddenly Came Up To Her And Asked
"How Are You?? I THink Your New Hairstyle Suits You..."
And Agin GAve His Killer Smile...
The Girl Wasn't Used To Getting Such Comments.. She Got Damn Embarrased..
She Just Muttered "Oh... Um... K.. (whatever)!!!!"
Things Changed After That... Whenever She Saw Him... She Felt Embarrased And Ashamed.. He Was Normal.. She Was Totally Feeling Ridiculous..!!!
She Had Written In Her Mind That The Guy Was Cheap nad A First-Class-Flirt!
And She Hated Flirts!!!!!

He was her Partner In Laboratory...
The Day She Knew It She Was Like
"Half Of The Girls In this Institution Would Have Been Ecstatic To Have Got The Opportunity To See This Guy at close quarters, Let Alone The Fact That They could Work with him... Leaving Them All, I Was least Intrested ..... Oh God!! Why Me?????? :("

He Was A Lazy Lump, to An Extent... Used To Take Her Precipitates Dilute it And Submit It As His Own... She Hated Her Work Being Stolen :( He Still Loved To Irritate Her...
But There was this Day... That Again Made A Significance....
It Was A Typical Yet Another Salt Analysis Class... Which All Of Us Had Got Tired Of!!!
She Was Testing Her Salt...
In Order To Confirm Her Salt... She Did The Wrong Test, Thinking It To Be Something Else...
And Hell Had Set In...
The Gas Bubbled In The Test tube, Which Had Eventually Become So Hot For HerTo Hold... But She Dint Want To Create A Scene There... Cuz She knew Many Guys Thought Girls Are Good Only For That...
To Her Utter Horror, She Didnot Let Go Of The Thing And Was Still Holding It,
The Guy Got Hold Of The Situation, Pulled Out The Test tube from her hand... And Poured The Whole solution...
The Test tube Was Saved....
Her hand Wasnt....
She Had Got A Bruise... He Dint Know What He Had To do...
He Just Called Her Frind And Left...
By Then, What She Had Feared Had Happened....
A Scene Had Been Created...
But thankfully, A Small One!

The next Day.. She Really wanted To Thank him... She Didnot know how, When And Where She was GHoing To Do It.... But She Knew She Had To Somehow.....
She Had Told Her Friend..
"..... blah.. blah.. blah... And Thats What Happened yesterday..."
(silence)
"So...? What Do You want To Do Now...?"
" Well... i Umm... Err... Feel Like Thanking Him.."
"What??? U Feel Like What?????"
"Thanking him.. I Atleast Owe Him that, You Know Right... Thats The only Thing I can do...."
"lol... I Told You Baby... Your Resistance Is Gonna Fade... He Is Your Guy... You Guys Are Gonna Be Great Together.... I Just Cant Even Wait To Tease You People... bla bla.."
"Excuse me..? What The Hell Are You Talking.. I Am Going To Say Him Thanks, Not Propose!!!!!"
She Just Winked as The Guy Came In Then....
And Said Pointing At Me....
She was Abashed Cuz She Was Still Thinking About What Her Friend Had Said...
The Guy Looked at her, Fluttering his eye-lids animatedly And Said Enquiringly:
"Yes??"
"umm... yaeh... I wanted To thank You... For Saving My Hand Yesterday..."
"Oh That... Yeah... Thats Ok... How Is It Now..?? Wanted To Ask you Myself..." He Stared At Her Hand...
She said" thats Fine..."
"If At All You Want To Slap Me For Talking To Your Best Friend You Have To Heal That Little Hand Of Yours!!"
She actually smiled... And Added"Ill Make Sure Its Fit Enough for That!!"
Her Friend Was staring At her From Around the corner... Seeing Both Of Them Laugh Together.... She Thought...
"Funny idiots... They are Just Perfect For Each Other... Funny That They Dont Realise that"

Days passed... Things Begun To Change... Her best Friend Had Got Her Guy... So This Girl And Guy Were too Happy For Her.....
The Friend Had Built Her World.. A Castle Of Imaginations.... Which She Had Spun From The Start... And The Guy Really Proved To Be Her prince Charming....
After The Classes Were Over... The Girl was With Her best friend... And This Guy... Who Was Supposedly Her friend now....
And We Were Both Listening To Our Friends life.... In A Way....
And We Were happy in a way.. How She Was Talking About It... She Was Brushing Her Hair, Moving Her Hands In The Air Animatedly... Popping Her Eyelids.. Fluttering Her Eyelashes...
Love... Can Do Wonders... It Did To That Silent Girl... Was What Running In Both Of Our Minds!!!!

They Both Started Speaking... But It Was very Formal... Or Funny :D
Life Was Moving On....
It Was The Fare Well Party In Their Institution....
The Guys Crushes Were on A Heart-Break Tone... It Was A Difficult Time... And He Had Been Too Irritated That Day Being Nice To People.... She Thought She Couldn't Talk To Him....That Day....
Everyone Bid A Good-bye... With Promises To Keep In Touch....
They Never Did... Not Even a Word!!!!!!
They Gave Each Other A Courteous Smile.... And A Nod...
And Walked In Opposite Directions...

She Turned And Looked "Nice Guy! But I Hope I See More Of Him... Though I Know This Is The End..."
He Looked At Her That Time... She Just Smiled And Waved...

They Thought
" End Of A Supposed To Be Friendship..."

But You Know Cupid And Love... Don't Leave People Easily....
What Next... You Guys Have To Wait...

Regards,
Messi :)
