A Simple Love Story- Part 11 The AfterEffects...

Half Of The Times People Aren't Responsible For What They Do
And Neither Is Destiny
It's Situation!
"So You Really wanted to have a drink in my company???" Ned Nickerson questioned as we were walking together..
"What do you think?" I asked him back, already wondering why suddenly both of us had been silent so long ever since we left the couple...
He Looked at me.. "I guess it's a clean no... You just wanted to avoid sarah, right?"
I was a bit impressed.. "Intelligent..." I muttered and spun around .. On the other side behind him was Linda... I Loudly Said "well.. You can leave now, Ned "
Leaving A Bewildered Guy In The Company Of A Very Desperate Girl... I Headed Over To Have A Drink..
The whole party had been a great success... Everyone had had a good time dancing and Sarah had been extremely happy.. One by one, As time went on, Began to leave..

I was with Sarah and Richard... Sarah was being Impatient...
Ned Came Jogging Along.. "Hey Richard, Can you do me a favour..? Can you come with me to my place..?? I will go and get my laptop.. we could transfer the pictures.. and I think it would be better to give sarah a little time of her own, considering many things.." He spoke continuously and looked down at me..
Richard was taken aback.. "well, okay"

And So Richard and Ned Had left.. Myself And Sarah Trotted Back Into The Home.. Thanking God That Not Much Mess Has To Be Cleared...
And Then she Went To Kitchen To Wash A few Dishes..
"So..??" Sarah Questioned, as I was busily eating an apple...
"Cho..??" i said as I was munching the apple..
"Anny Drew.. Would you mind if I ask you to cut all this goody-good I-dont-know- what you are talking-about types girl...?"
"And Do what ??" I questioned her... still laughing at the words she had used to tag me..
"Tell me... What did he say?"
I took a deep breath and stretched myself.. And told her what happened...

Sarah was wild.. "Whispering, gripping.. what else happened madam?"
I Knew at that instance if I dint leave there would be a round of teasing for a decade..
But before I could say anything, Sarah continued.. "We also were like that.. whispering.. gripping.. hugging and happy" She was saying as she was looking at a picture of her's and Richard's ...
I Hugged her from behind and said... "And The magic is still not gone... "
Sarah laughed.. "That's true.. It Still Feels Like Our First Time Together..."

She Continued peeping out of the window, getting a whiff of the cold air... And continued her speech.. "The truth is Ann the Girl Is responsible for the Longevity of the relationship and the guy is responsible for happiness... Rules Aren't said, spoken or understood in relationships honey.. It just happens Like that last piece of the jig-saw puzzle however odd it is, it would fit into the place.."

I actually felt it was the best way to put it...
And I Said in a mocking tone..
" And That, My dear Ladies and gentlemen Is today's Love tip of the day.. From Miss.Sarah Reynolds.. Stay tuned for more folks!"
As Sarah threw a dirty towel, I dodged it away and made a face...
She was yelling as I Left.. "You keep making fun of me Miss.Drew You are going to fall harder..!"
"we will see.." I said And Left.. And Headed To shower...
I Had decided to spend the night at Sarah's place...
As I Came out of the shower, I dressed Myself in a pink sleeveless top and wore a blue tracks for the night... 'That Should Be okay for this weather..' I thought as I left the room...

By then Richard had come back.. But Ned was Nowhere to be seen...
"Your guy will be here in a while.." Richard said smiling ..
"Hold On.. He isn't My guy.. Let him come whenever he feels... And excuse me you are sitting on my bed.." I said as I jovially pushed him down..
He Threw a pillow over my face and lovingly Held the hand Of Sarah and they had left...
I decided That I Would Sleep on the Sofa...
And I Had Been In deep sleep for hours together...

"Is She really sleeping Sarah?" I could here a soft whisper..
"I swear she is.. Don't wake her up... Sit by this sofa and do the job.." Sarah's voice...
'I'm going Mad, that's why I'm hearing voices..' I thought to myself and started smiling in my sleep..
"She is adorably cute, when she smiles.."
Again Sarah's voice...
'I'm Mad...' was the only thought I had in my mind.. As I got up, rubbing my eyes..
To My horror I saw two people staring at me...
"Oh My God! Why din't you people wake me up?" I questioned as I saw Ned and Sarah..
Sarah Replied "Well Ned, You said you needed a company and here is your company.. See you during breakfast tomorrow.. Or else Richard Is going to kill me... And Anny one second come inside.. I'll give You a few things you might Need..."
Hearing her big speech, my head was dizzy... The after-sleep effects.. "yeah Coming.." I yawned and threw my bed-spread and went in..
She had given me a few Movies... For what reasons I failed to understand...
"These are crap romantic movies, I don't want to see them..." I wailed in half-asleep condition...
Sarah got irritated, "all right, Take What you want.."
I chose a super-action flick.. and left to my today's bed.. Only To see that the bed-spread had been folded.. And on One end Of The Sofa Ned Was Sitting And Transferring the photos...
"How long will it take?" I questioned him sitting on the other side...
"She din't tell you??" Ned questioned as he took his eyes from laptop for the first time... To look at me...
I Shrugged and asked "Was I supposed to know something??"
Ned smiled and said "I'm not going until tomorrow night..."
I was taken aback...I was shocked...
"you mean to say that I wouldn't be able to sleep... Right? Oh My God!" I Made a face and squealed...
I calmed down and said "Well, That explains why Sarah gave me this.. " I said as I threw The movies...
Ned smiled.. "Feeling sleepy?"
Ann Looked at him.. "If I say a no, It would be wrong.."
"Well, My Work Is Over.. What now? Do I Put A Movie..??"
I was wondering what had to be done... Movie in midnight with a guy.. I was wondering if it was politically, socially, morally.. well, totally right...?
"Madam, Have You decided...??" He questioned..
"Movie sounds good..."
Ned then started playing a good movie.. And I was sitting next to him .. Eyes intent upon the screen...
"So you forgave me?"
I Was thinking... "Yes.. That's ok.."
My Hair Was falling on my face.. Since I Had been sleeping, I had let it run down..
"Can I speak with you..? May I Shut Down The laptop?" Ned questioned me...
I did not know what to do.. I was silently cursing Sarah that she had put me in this situation...

A Simple Love Story-Part 10 The Party..


Forgiveness doesn't Only Depend On The Act Of Crime..
It Also Depends On The Person
Involved...


Mustering up Every Bit Of Courage That Was In Me, I Stood Up From The Kitchen Floor And Headed Over To The Sink...
By Then Richard and Sarah Were behind Me Hoping That I Would Be Ok...
I Let the Fresh Waters Run Down My Face... Took A Deep Breath... And Said
"M Ready Guys... Let's Go People are Waiting for Us..."
A Small Smile Lit Upon My Face ... Seeing Which Sarah Was Happy...

"Great, Ann.. Way To Go Girl...!" She patted me On My Back.. And then Led Me Out Of the Door.. with Richard Following Her At Close Quarters...

I Had promised Richard And Sarah That I Would Do The Compering... Because I Loved To Do It.. And I Was Naturally Very Good At It...

I Couldn't See Ned Anywhere Nearby.. That Made Me Feel Better... I Needed To Be In Good Spirits If I Had To Spread Some Cheer Among The Crowd...
And The Crowd Comprised Mostly Of People I recognised ... From Our High School.. Some Of Sar's College Gang... And Some Of Richard's Friend...

Since Richard Had Been Yelling Me To Come... I Quit Thinking And Hurried Up To Him...

"You Are On Stage in 5 Minutes... Sar Is Going To Sing A Song For Me... Just Introduce Us... And Leave the Rest..."
I Was Sure I Knew What I Had To Do... So I Left For The Supposed Dias..
As The Lights Were On... The Blue Light Fell On White coat and then All the stage lights begun to dance...
The Crowd Muted a bit to hear from me....
"Hello Guys And Girls... I'm Anny Drew... Here, On Behalf Of You To Thank Ms.Sarah Reynolds And Mr.Richard Donyle... For Throwing This Wonderful Party For Us... A Big Round Of Applause For The Two Please...."
I Looked Down and saw how Richard Was Proudly Holding Sarah And How They Both Were Heading Towards The Stage...In Beaming Pride...
'That Was What I Expected From Ned Maybe..' One Second And Then I Shook That Thought Off My Head..
"And now guys... Sarah Would Be Presenting A Song For Richard In Her Own Voice... Let The Music Shiver In Your Hearts Guys.... Hit On The Dance Floor With Your Beloved... ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥"
Saying this As Soon As The Lights Dimmed.. I Headed Over To The darkest Corner Of The Lawn....

And From There I Watched Them... Sar Began Singing In Her Crystal Clear Voice....
After A Few Verses Sarah And Richard Had Pulled Sarah On To the Dance Floor....
The Lines Sang...
"I'll Always Be In Your Mind...
You Are My Everything...
Oh My Life, My Love....."
Tears Welled In My Eyes....

What Added Fuel To The Fire Was.....

Linda...
Linda Doughlass

The One girl Who Wouldn't Leave Ned Nickerson At Peace... Ultimately She Had Managed To Pull Him On To The Dance Floor That Day.. And Was Throwing Herself Upon Him...
I Really Wished I Could Punch Her On Her Face...
The Song's Five Minutes Seemed Like Eternity...

When It was About To End... I Had Had Enough Of Looking At The Dance... I Quietly tried To Go Past Them... Without Ned Noticing Me...
Unfortunately He Had Seen Me...
"Ann.... wait a second.."
He left a fuming Linda All By Herself... And Came Running Behind Me..
I Stood Right Opposite to him, staring a him... wondering and debating what to say...
Ned looked exhausted...
he begun:
"Look, M Really sorry... I Know I Had Hurt You A Lot.. I Shouldn't Have commented on your dress... But I.. I Really Thought...."
Before he could go on and on... I Cut Him " Look Ned.. Its Completely Understandable... I Dint Look presentable in these clothes.. As You Felt The minute You saw Me In The kitchen.. But That's Just According to You.. But This Is The Best I Can Make Out Of Myself...."
I Wanted to cry... But Not in front of him...
So I Turned behind And started Walking Away...
Then, Something Unexpected Happened...
Ned Became Furious for A Minute And caught my sleeve...
He Pulled me closer until the only thing My Eyes Could See were His Face...
I was Fluttering My Eyelids So Hard That A Drop Or Two Of The Tears Whisked past Them...
His eye-balls were moving more rapidly from here and there...
Suddenly I Realised His Grip On My Hand, I budged and he felt embarassed and left Me..

Ned Let Out A Big Sigh...And Spoke Very Softly Into My ears.. Bending Down...
"I Just Never Meant To Hurt You.. Please Forgive Me ...... "
He Then Looked At Me, Wiped A Tear And Left The Place...

I Was So Shocked And Stunned That I Couldn't Move from The Place...
Sarah Came Running Over... And Asked.. "What Happened...?"
Ned And Richard Were Behind Her...
"Oh.. And Here's Ned... I Thought You Would.."
Before Sarah Could Say Anything Memories Were Just Throbbing My Heart.. The Whisper.. The Grip....
I Blurted Out.. "I Forgive You Nickerson.. Its Okay..."
And Ned Smiled And Said.. "Thank You, Lady..."
I Needed To Avoid Sarah Because She would Ask Me A Zillion Questions.. For Which I din't Have Even A Single Reply...
I Went Up To Ned And Caught His Hand And Said ..."Would You Mind If I Ask You To Take Me For A drink?"
Ned Agreed And We Both Headed Towards The Lawn Leaving A Confused Couple Behind....

A Simple Love Story-Part 9 First Hurt...

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

"Hey Hurry Up Lady... U Cant Stay In There Forever.." Sarah Reynolds Was Yelling...
"ya I'm Coming Down Wait A Sec.."
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..

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 7 First Day Of Forensics..

Our Profession When It Interlinks With Passion Then Every Moment Of Life
Is Worthy... Love Just Adds Sugar To The Spice
And Makes Things More Nice ......
It Had Been A day Which I Had Always Dreamed Of...
As To How Anny Drew Would present Myself And How I Would Live A Dream... My First Day As A Forensic-Science Graduate Student.... :)
I Had Woken Up Early Even Though I Had Slept In Late... I Got Ready Almost Two Hours Before The Class... It Was Just 6 And Classes Were To Begin Only By 8... So I Had A Lot Of Time To Kill...
I Had Already Known The Fact That There Was Going To Be A Very Few Girls... I Dint Know How Many Though...
I Headed Over To Discover My Campus.. And Move Over To Places... My Roomie Was Busy Praying To Lord.. I Dint Feel Like Disturbing Her.. So I Left...
But Emily , Emily Ashes... Rushed Out And Introduced Me To Her Parents..
"So Your Folks Aren't Here??" They questioned me after a look here n der...
"No... Actually They Had Some Odd Jobs To DO.. So... They Had To Leave.."
"We Are Sure They Consider U Independent Enough To Take Care Of Yourself..."
I was actually Wondering If They Really Knew How Much Pain That Would Really Cause.. But M Sure They Had No Idea.... AT A Moment I Felt Like Bursting Down...

"ya.. They Are.. Proud... Very, Very Proud Of Me..."
I Gave Them A Killer Smile And Jogged On To The Path... Silently Laughing On The Biggest Joke That I Ever Cracked... lol
I Wanted To Check Out The Cafetaria... Becoz I Was Hungry... So I went In There First...
The Place Was A Bit Messy... All People Who Had Come From Their Home Were Having Their Breakfast In There...
I Took A Coffee... And I Was Staring At The Big Place... Thinking Where I Need To Settle Down..
One Look... I Was Totally Confused... There Was An Empty Seat Next To Seven Guys... Der Was One Next to seven Gals... There Was One Next to Three Gals And Four Guys... I Dint Even Know If In My "world-class-university" Interaction Between Guys And Girls Was Allowed...
As I was Thinking Two Of The Seats Were Gone... The One Next To 7 Guys Was Still Free...

"Great... " I Muttered To Myself....
I Went Over To The Place... And Asked The Guy Sitting Next To It...
"Excuse Me??"
When He Wheeled Around... I Saw A Guy Not Too Fair Nor Too Dark... "Yes??"
"Is This Seat Taken??"
"No... U Can Help Yourself" And He Smiled At Me...
"Thank You.."
I Bent Down Thinking What Sort Of The Thing They Called This Stuff... Coffee Wasnt Exactly What I would Call It...
"So... U R A Fresher??"
"Yeah.. M A Fresher..."
" Major And Name Please??"
I was Startled... I Wasnt Sure How We Were Supposed To Interact With Seniors Out In There... In My School We Never Bothered About Them..
"Anny Drew... Major In Forensics"
He Took A Deep Breath And Let It...
"Jeff Jordan In Here... Same Major Ur Senior Final Year..."
"Oh Pleased To Meet U..."
My Coffee Was Over.. And I Wanted To Leave...
" So Im getting Late... M Leaving"
"Hold On A Minute.. I Need To Tell U Something..."
The Guy Followed Up To Me...
I wanted To Be Alone.. What Was Running In My Mind Was Something Which No One Would Understand.....
"What??" I Asked Him...
"U Need To Know Some Of The Rules Of Our Department... "
"Oh.."
"U Should Address The Seniors As Sirs.. And All Girls As Madam ... Ok??"
"Yeah.. Ok Sir.."
"rest Of The Rules U Will Be Knowing During The Briefing.."
"Ok Thank You Sir.. For... err... The Information"
"lol... Hold On A Minute... U Needn't Call Me As Sir And All..."
"Well.. ok.."
" Hey Can I Ask U Something.. If U Don Mind Me Doing This...?"

The Guy Who Was walking By My Side.. Was Suddenly Standing In Front Of Me... Blocking My Path.. I was Shocked..

"What Now??"
"Err.. Its A Bit Personal.."
"Say.."
"Do U Have A Guy...??? I Mean Are You Commited...??"
I Was Startled... I Really Never Expected This...
"No... M single..."
"Oh.. U R Beautiful.. Take Care Around here.."
Saying This.. He Just Left Me...
I Really For Once Got The Second Compliment In My Life...

I Headed Over To The Washroom Put My Bag Down And Stared At The Mirror..
A Blue Shirt And A Jean .. Curly Hair Down The Shoulder...
The Girl Next To Me Over There Was Moon-White... wearing A Sleeveless top With A Frilled Neck... And A Small skirt... She Was What Beauty Meant..
I Thought Probably Jeff Was Kidding.....

Finally The Clock Had Stuck And It Was 8.. I went Over And Sat In The Class... There Wasnt Any Girl.. So I Had No One To Talk To... I Was Sitting Simply Looking Here And There... Staring Here And Der To Avoid All The OMG looks I was Getting From My Supposedly Classmates...
Classes Went On Smoothly... More Interesting Every moment.. And Once Lectures Began I was So Absorbed In Em.. That The Single Girl Feeling And Loneliness Washed Me Away...
The Opening Had Been Quite Peaceful... And With A Greater Peace At The End Of The Day I Left To Hostel...


Our Profession When It Interlinks With Passion Then Every Moment Of Life
Is Worthy... Love Just Adds Sugar To The Spice
And Makes Things More Nice ......

A Simple Love Story- Part 6.. First Talks..

And That Night I Had Slept Like A baby...
That Had Its candy delivered... :)


I had called Him Up in The Eve...
He dint Pick Up a few Times..

It felt awful because as of now he was the only guy to whom i could share whatever i wanted.. My Hopes My aspirations etc.. he had asked something about me and i did not answer him properly.. I felt Bad.. I Had almost Spent The Whole Days Of my Lifetime Visualising A perfect Relationship.. I dint Mean Love.. Just any Two Closely knit buddies Though..
And I Cried Cuz Mebbe My Buddy Was Gone... :(

At That Point Of Time.. I, Anny Drew Let A tear Run Down My eyes..
And The Fone Went Off... It Was Him calling..
The Him I Mention Here Was of Course My Guy Ned The Nickerson:P
i Picked Up And Said
"Hey.."
"hi Ann.. Sorry I Could Not Pick Up Your Calls.. I was Playing U Know.. Basketball..."
Ya.. He Was good at Basketball..
"ok..." I was debating in my head whether or not to apologise..
"so... U wouldnt have called me so much if U had nothing to speak I Guess... So...?"
"yeah.. thats True.. I... Err.. wanted To Say Sorry.."
I was so nervous that I almost Felt That the ground under my legs were shaking...
"U r apologising To me...??" Ned Quipped...
This was getting worser.. That was only evident me...
"I guess so.. i really really am sorry.."
"But I Don Understand.. y r U Apologising Ann..??"
that He called Me Ann In A Way, made Me Feel Like he was not angry with me...
I Was relieved..
I blah-blah-ed And told Him With A Heavy Emotional Speech As To why He Should Be Angry..
"And So When I cut The Call.. I Thought U had Been Really Angry.."
He Drew one Sharp Breath...Which Was Quite evident On The Phone...
And Then He was laughing...
"Lemme Tell u One Thing baby...u neednt Have To Worry This Much And All.. i'm Not The Type To get Angry Easily And All... "
"Oh..."
"And Even If I do get Angry I wouldnt Stop Speaking with You..."
"Why So..??"
"I dont Know... I jus dont..."
He And I ... We Were then talking Like Kids... For Hours Together..
I had laughed after many days... the Smile On My Face Was Extending From S To S...
And The Time Was Extending from Dusk To Midnight...
"U Know Ned.."
"Say Ann.."
"It Has Really Been Good Talking To U..."
"Oh.. I'm Glad I could Be Of Some Use To Someone.."
"U R a Nice Guy.. really Am Saying..."
"thats Good To Hear.."
"Ok.. I'm Really tired now...M an Early sleeper... I get Up early In the Morning... "
"Oh.. M sorry that I made U stay Up.."
"Thats Ok Ned... Good Night.."
"Good Night.. Sweet Dreams Baby.."
"ya..."
After i had Spoken I Thought.. Baby??!!!
Err... Whatever.. He is A Good Guy.. I Like Him :)
And That Night I Had Slept Like A baby...
That Had Its candy delivered... :)

A Simple Love Story Part-5... The New World.

Life Is Strange....
Makes U Live With People Whom U Hate..
Before U Live With The Ones U Love...
'Its Ok... Its Ok and its ok.... Everything is going to be fine!'
it was The umpteenth time I had Tried to convinve myself... nothing ever seemed better than that....
My Mum was peeping in and out as I was Doing the final check of things that i Would need In hostel life....
And I Hadn't taken anything for memories sake....
Except The Black Friendship Band...


I Had promised myself that M gona cry.... I Dint want that to happen... 'C'mon Ann... U r A tomboy n only gals cry!' was what I Thought... And sighed and finally I had started on my journey to Dartsmouth....
Sitting By The Window aisle I Couls Still remember my mums parting words..
'll miss u dear.. I wish u didnt have to go... Come back soon..'
'I don't know' I thought... Maybe because I was her blood relation, I felt it was true....
My Mobile went off...
It was Ned...

"hea... where are you now?"
I was struggling hard not to cry... 'no u shouldnt ann'
"Sitting in Dartsmouth... M in My College Ned"
"University U Mean Right?? "
I couldnt Help But Grin..
"yup.. World Class University " I laughed..
He joined me and laughed a bit..
"so wats happening in der ann... Settled with all stuffs?"
"yeah.. dat was easy.. I didnt Have much Work with that part of it..."
" So Called Sar... ??"
' Ok" ... I thought.... ' Convince him u rnt Missing anyone... convince.. open up.. now... ' was the only thing that was running in my mind...
"I...."
Before I Could Even Say Anything He Again Spoke...
"Don't You Miss People... I Mean seriously.. U don have any one in your home like sis or bro who has been in hostel.. you must be missing a lot.... right??"
'BLOW BLOW BLOW... ' I thought.. he found it out,,,
I muttered " I got to go..."
"hey but...."



I didnot know what he wanted To Speak.. Coz I Had Ended The Conversation...
He Had Left A Text Saying He Was Sorry..
I dint knw who has 2 b more sorry at that point of time.. I ws Feeling More lonely Than Anyone.. He Might Understand Is What I Thought.. I Had Called Up Sar Later in D Eve..
What To Speak With Her Was Something Which Worried Me All The More.. She Ws D One Who Was Really Feeling Terrible About My Departure..
"Hi Sar.... "
" Oh Hi Ann.. Hows The New Place?? How r U?"
"M Good.. Listen Sar.. I Need To Tell U Something..."
"Go Ahead Dear... M Listening"
"Ned Called.."
'I Could swear that she ws surprised.. I Knew Sar' Ann Thought.... And I went ahead n told her whatever happened till the slamming of the fone and text..
" Ann.. What U didnt isnt right honey.." Sar Quipped..
"I Know That.. He ws tryin To Speak.. I feel Lik A Dumbo Sar..."
" Call Him N Speak Honey... I Dont think he took it Badly.. I Know Him"
"ya Thts Y I thought Of Askin U..."
"Well Thts Good.. Keep Me Updated.. N take Care.. Love U Ann"
"Bye..."

At That Point Of Time Somebody Tapped My Shoulder... I Turned Around N Saw A Girl.. rarely Did I recognise anyone in there..
She Was A shy one.. She Jus Asked Me.. "114??"
"Yeah " I replied... I extended My Hand.. "Anny Drew Here.. n u??"
"Emily Ashes.. My Pleasure Meeting U..."
I Took One Long Look On Her.. She Was Completly Duh... Spoke Ridiculous english.. And her Vain Attempts To Impress Me Dint Seem To work on.. She Came From Some Place I didnt Even Knw Existed.. N She Lacked Confidence to face things... In Short A Kind-Hearted, Conservative Noob At Everything..

She Said She Had wanted To Sort The Books She Had Got.. And Was generous enough to Say That Even I Could Use Em...
"err... Thanks"
She Was Then Staring At Me..
" I Thought U Would Say The Same To Me.."
"Err.. I Don Have Any Books.. Soo.. Anyways"
I stomed Out Of The Room
Ran Across The Ground..
Sat Under A Tree..
And Mouthed Only One Thing...
" MELODRAMA MENIAC!!!"
The Last Thing I wanna was a melodrama.. As My Roomie..
" Away From Home... Such A Roomie.. Tormenting Memories.. Best Friend At A Distance.. A New Help At Hand... Why Am I Puttin Up With This...!!!' I Looked At The Sky....
And Ans Came Zooming in...
" FORENSICS"
Life Is Strange....
Makes U Live With People Whom U Hate..
Before U Live With The Ones U Love...
