Once You Hear What You Mean To Someone,

You See The Heaven In Their Affection...

"I Love this shade, Sarah.." I was pouting as I saw the dress my best buddy had got me.. I had liked it a lot, since lavender was one of my needed colors in the wardrobes..

"Glad you liked" pouted Sarah and gave me a quick hug..

"I'm beginning to get over all my bad health and I actually am getting excited for the evening.. This feels great.." I said throwing my hands up in the air...

"So you have arrived..?" asked a husky male voice from the other end of the room..

Once I wheeled around I saw Sarah's father Mr.Reynolds.. His crisp physique and his prompt manners could make anyone look at him in a crowd... Not to mention his style of carrying himself around..

I got up and shook my hand.. I never liked the custom of pecks.. They seemed sick and he knew I hated it...

"How is your health now?" he inquired.. "Very fine Sir.. I'm doing pretty good today..." I said beaming.. "So whats the occasion for the bash...?"

"You will just have to wait for it my dear.. And by the time you can take a look at the dresses I got for Richard, Sarah and My beloved wife.."

"I'd love to.." I said as Sarah began to show me..

I fainted, They were way too perfect!! Sarah's dress was of a darker shade of maroon having white laces and black roses..

I whispered to Sarah "Are you by any means getting married today??"

Sarah blushed.. "Well, yes and No.."

"WHAT??" I said and sat up in amazement.. Marriage was too early for her..

"Typical Ann.. You just cant wait for things to happen right? You just die to know them.." Richard pouted as he came into the room..

I pulled my tongue out, turned and sat with my face between my hands.. Sarah was glaring at Richard..

"Ok, All right Ann you win today.." He said.. "I'll not make fun of you today.." He said as he held my hand and gave a peck on my forehead As Sarah caught my other hand and hugged..

"Stop it you two!!! You will make me cry I guess..." I wailed as both of them were crushing me..

Richard stood up and he said.. "Of course, you are my sweetheart.."

I got up and said laughing.. "Go Away!!!"

Richard had work so he left me with Sarah..

"When is my mom coming?" I questioned Sar..

"Oh she is already here dear, She is with Rose and Rachel's mom..."

"So Ned and Rachel are here???" I perked up.. I was beginning to hate this idea...

"Yes, and Now we shall leave to see them, And for once I'll escort you.." She said and I put on a faint smile... 'What is happening..' I thought as I was walking..

As expected all were together.. As they saw us, they greeted..

"Finally you are standing on your own legs.." Ned made fun of me..

"Oh, give her a break Ned.. " Rachel said poking his ribs..

I gave a faint smile.. faint smiles are so fake!

Sarah's mother began.. "You know Ann, Rachel and Ned are hitting the floor tonight for the lead dance with Sarah and Richard, isn't that wonderful..?" She said clasping her own hands in delight...

"Terrific idea, I would love to watch it!!!" I pouted and clapped my hands.. 'so much for fakeness..'

"So you guys aren't practicing..??" I asked Rachel...

"You are so right Ann, Dear Rach we should get going now.." Ned said grabbing Rach's hand and making an exit..

"Thanks for emptying the chair" I yelled behind and added.. "Hey have fun!!" I said, Practically I was wondering if I was biting off more than I could chew..

The conversation seemed boring to me, I was somewhere else mentally.. I was looking for an excuse to leave..

And for once Richard seemed to be of some use to me.. When he called Sar for rehersals, I knew I could see Ned and Rach..

And once their rehearsals begun, I hated it more than anything..

Ned was flirting with Rach, I could see that..

And I hated that even more..

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sun had set in and the dusk had arrived.. Somehow Sar and Richard had told me that I wasn't supposed to show myself up in the crowd, until they said me to.. So I was ranting behind the bushes, exactly where Ned was there..

I hated all this jobs, it was completely unlike me.. I stood up from the front and not the rear.. 'Someday I'll kill you for making me hide..' I grumbled at sar's idea..

"Where is Ann...?" Rach asked looking here and there..

"Probably embarrased of her own style of dressing, she is hiding somewhere..." Ned laughed...

I wish I was dead, That moment I really did feel that way!

Suddenly the lights went up.. And I could see Richard from the side of the lawn.. Leaving Ned to his dance 'partner' I went over to Richard afraid he might lose his temper searching for me..

"And today ladies and gentlemen.." His voice rose up in the crowd.. "Marks a very special dad to the Reynolds family.."

Mr.Reynolds came up and joined him.. "It is the day I proposed my girl.." He said holding his wife, The beautiful lady!

After a few exchange of words, the dance was announced.. Ned, Rach, Richard and Sar had hit the floor.. Rach was sloppy,her dress wasn't helping her much with the dance.. Sar and Richard had settled for simple moves, so it looked and elegant..

Somehow I felt that Ned wasn't excited at this dancing, His style was different, I had seen him move before..

Half way through the song, Richards voice rose up and the light dimmed on the four.. "Someone ladies and gentlemen.." said Richard.. "had been very eagerly asking what is the occasion for the party?" He huffed.. "Reasons are too many.. But Now, please put your hands together for Anny Drew.."

I again wished I was dead.. Walking in this costume in front of everyone was embarrasing to me..

"Is that really my daughter..?" My mom asked as she saw me..

Yes, I was perfect that evening.. Studded in a stunning shade of lavendar with my tresses falling on the shoulder and a single pendent on my neck I looked beautiful.. I myself knew it..

"Wow.." I heard people saying..

Richard cleared his throat as he saw that Ned was staring at me.. "Ann.. You promised us something..??"

I didnot remember anything..

Richard came over and whispered in my ear.. 'I am going t propose her tonight.. She has no idea of it.. You promised you would dance remember..'

He said and winked.. I did proimse that, nobody knew that I danced, not even my own mom.. But I did..

I shrieked in surprise.. 'This is so nice of him', I thought and gave him a hug...

"To My Age Old Promise..." I said them..

"So for the first time ever.. Anny Drew on the floor..."

Suelta seemed to be the good option.. Solo Salsa could set them ablaze...

I drew a deep breath and hit the floor...

Much to their surprise I had joyfully completed my act,.. The twists and turns had been perfect.. Suddenly Richard came over and took in for a duet act.. I had practised with him, so it was easy for me to do the same..

As I was dancing I could see that Ned had grabbed Sarah on the floor..

One minute I was with Richard and Sarah was with Ned.. The guys had eventually brought us to the middle of the floor.. A single turn the partners had been swapped...

I was in his arms.. I wanted to leave the floor.. Nevertheless I did not want to spoil Richards plans..

Much that I hated it, Ned had been damn good at dancing and somehow he seemed to come to life.. he had lifted me twice and had tossed me once up in the air, I did not feel like we were dancing for the first time..

And then, The Music Ended

A Simple Love Story.. Part 22.. The Lake

Unexpected Packages Are The Best Ones To Open!

When I woke up, rubbing my eyes, no one was around.. But Thanks To the medicines my head was better..

As I sat and ate a few slices of bread, I slowly started remembering whatever happened.. I was beginning to wonder what had caused such a drastic change in Ned's behaviour.. Something made me feel that he had decided something.. And it was something that wasn't going to be good for me..

Suddenly Sarah called..

"Hiya Ann, I expect you are in town??"

"Yeah.. I am.. I am not well Sarah.."

"What happened..??"

I went on saying what ever happened.. Surprisingly Sarah reacted only with a "Oh.."

She did not say any more..

"And I forgot to tell you Why I called you..." Sarah pouted..

I was still unable to get over the shock that Sarah did not react anything..

"And why is that..??"

"Tomorrow Dad is throwing a party.. So you are invited.."

I was startled.. "I'll try" I said.. "I don't have anything decent to wear.." I wailed..

"Now there is a surprise.. "

My eyes popped up.. "What?"

"I got You A Dress.. Be on time To rock the floor dear" She said and cut the call..

'Right Rock the floor...' I thought.. I was jarred up and people wanted me to rock the floor.. I laughed at the irony..

The very prospect that mother had come back home and enquired about my health made me feel a lot better..

As I went on an evening walk, I was debating whether or not to call Rose.. I had met Rachel on the way.. So we were just discussing movies and moving on.. Her home came and then I was left free at my own will..

I sat on a tree shade, cross legged and for a few minutes closed my eyes and relished the air around me..

"Beautiful, Refreshing.." I said and opened up my eyes, only to see that Rose and another girl with her were staring at me wide eyed..

I always used to do this.. I was wondering why these people were staring..

"Err.. Hi.." I said as I stood up..

"What on earth are you doing out of your bed Ann?" Rose asked arching her eyebrows..

I laughed.. "It doesn't seem like a good prospect , I mean sleeping all day.. Was feeling better so got off the bed.."

"And you are walking all alone..??" Rose asked in horror, as if I had violated some Government rules..

I Looked on either side.. "Yes, I guess so.. This isn't new for me Rose.. The lake down there.." I said pointing at the end of the lane.. "knows me ever since I was this small, So felt like going there that is all.."

I was looking at the girl with Rose who resembled her and Ned in every way.. The skin-tone, the eye-color..

"You must be Belinda..??"

The girl smiled.. " Just Bells please.. Ann right?"

"Yeah" I said as I shook the hand.. And put it in my pockets..

"You still aren't well, your hand is hot.." She sounded like any typical doctor to me..

"I know" I said Looking at the lane.. "But once those sands down there embraces me.. I'll be perfect.." I smiled..

"Shall I send Ned..??" Rose asked..

"Oh, please don't.. I think he is busy, Rachel was saying he was going to come for dinner to her place.. So I don't want to spoil his plans.." I said brushing a tear..

"Now, if you would excuse me.." I said taking a step forward.. " I must be going.."

Belinda spoke softly In Sarah's ears And added.. " I'm leaving mom with you.. Take care.." She gave me a quick hug and left..

I wanted to be alone.. I had been hurt.. Questions had been tormenting me to titters.. Moms reactions, Ned's behavioral change, Rose's silence, Sarah's indifference, Rachel's plans..

"So you guys fought..?" Rose asked breaking my thoughts...

"Did he say so.. No.. I don't think so.. I wish I knew the reason for his indifference.."

"Ann all that happens is for the well-being.." Rose quipped..

" I Know, I just.. I just can't put through this now.. That is all.."

I sat by the lake.. And closed my eyes.. Took a few deep breaths..

I was relaxed..

"So, Shall we start back..??" I quipped after an hour..

"As you wish dear..." Rose said as she held my hand..

A Simple Love Story.. Part 21.. Expectations Down..

Posted by sti |

Sometimes Bad Times Are The Good Signs That The Best

Things Are Yet To Happen..

Finally after making calls to Rose, Bells And my own mom.. I headed into the bus..The prospect of going home now seemed to have its own glow.. With so many people expecting my arrival...

I had sneezed an umpteen times and it seemed to me that this cold wasn't going to leave me at peace for a while..

It was an air-conditioned bus.. (Thanks to Ned's all safety and comfortable travels precautions) which was all the more irritating to me..) I had decided that I would quietly hug myself and settle for the night..

Ned had asked me to proceed and said that he would follow me soon.. The tickets were with me..

I Had neatly made my seat comfortable with the given bedding material.. Since it was taking time for Ned's arrival I thought I should make his too, In order to give him a wee bit of surprise.. :)

But to my horror when Ned saw it, He was like " What? Why did you do this..?" One pull, and all my work had crumbled down..

I quite didn't like this, but nevertheless I never mentioned it..

I simply put on my headphones and listened to songs.. In a span of ten minutes Ned was fast asleep.. I got an idea that nothing and absolutely nothing could wake him up for a decade..

I was wondering what to do.. My health worsening, Every muscle in me began to pull and the blower was right above my head, which was all the more irritating!

I feared that if I kept on sneezing or shifting uncomfortably from this side to that, I feared Ned would wake up and guys don't like being disturbed in sleep, I knew that...

As time passed by through the sneezes, coughs and the ache, I fell in sleep.. Finally after a few hours he practically shook me hard to wake me up.. "Ann! Ann!" Ned growled..

"Ya.. M awake, all right.. Stop pulling my hand, It hurts.." I said groggily, still sleepy-headed..

"Why on earth did you sleep so long? You know we could have missed our stop.." Ned sounded annoyed..

Either I was dreaming, Or Ned had forgotten the subtle fact that I was sick, which seemed more probable..

I looked out into the window and said.. "We didn't and that I guess that is the point.." Pulling myself out of my bedspreads I fell unconscious..

When I woke up, I found someone sprinkling water on me.. I gulped and gasped for breath.. Ned was next to me.. " Ann.. Ann.. You all right?"

"Take me home.." I said and I just fell..

The next thing I knew was that my mom was waking me up..

"All right.. M getting up.. What on earth happened..??"

Once I sat up I saw my mom, Rose, Ned and my dad standing surrounding me..

"Oh dear.. My head.. it hurts.." I said, holding it in pain..

My dad had left, glad that I woke up..

My mom had begun.. "This is why i told stay near home.. Who do you think is going to come all the way to take care of you.. You don't understand at all.." Saying this she went out to get some tea and scones..

Ned was numb.. He also headed out stone-faced..

Rose was next to me.. " You all right?"

I sat up groggily and said.. "Yeah I guess so.. I'm afraid I'll not be able to shop with you guys today.." I said scratching my head, like the mad do..

Rose let a tear run.. "That is okay.."

I got up from the bed and said.. "But I promise I'll drop in your place today.." I said putting a weak smile..

"And Nobody expects you in there.." Ned said entering the room with a mug of coffee for me..

"Do I make myself clear..??"

I didn't know what had happened, but I numbly shook my head.. Rose wasn't arguing with him, which made things even worse..

"your mother is off for the day and we will be leaving in a while too.. So you have the home to yourself.." Ned said..

I again numbly shook my head.. As I saw Ned nudging Rose to start from there

And The Door clicked, I laid down to continue sleeping, owing to my health, mentally deciding that the rest shall be handled later..

"This is not the right time for all this Ned.." Rose said..

"Probably this isn't .. but I don't see any other way.." Ned said softly..

Rose touched Ned's shoulders.. "I understand your pain, son.."

Ned hugged Rose tightly.. "She must get back as soon as possible mom.."

A Simple Love Story.. Part 20.. Care Unveiled

Posted by sti |

The subtle shimmering of your heart beat purely define the way you feel

No words can describe them otherwise.. No words!!

After that supposed call ended, I had decided I would make a call to my future MIL.. The phone rang, and had been picked up by his dad or some male inmate of the family..

I asked for Rose..

"May I Know Who is on the line..?" was the only question asked, on hearing the reply of which I could here the feeble beats of the shuffling steps of a hurried lady..

Rose, I thought..

No matter how much I tried to avoid it, Rose looked like the future version of Sarah.. Like how Sarah would feel when her son was in love..

Was in love, 'Sigh, when would you tell me Ned..' I was wondering..

"Oh, hello My dear one.."

I wasn't quite used to these dramatics so maintaining it naturally my way I just greeted with a small hello..

"So Ned was saying me that you wanted to talk to me about something.. Some shopping plans??"

"yeah.. Right Ann.. I told him to bring you home this weekend.. So that we could go on a shopping thing, Bells would be coming.."

"Excuse me, Bells??" I questioned, as I didnot know whom she was referring to..

"don't tell me Ned didnot tell you about his sibilings.. Well, predictable anyways" She sighed unhappily.. "Belinda Nickerson.. My daughter, She is a doctor.."

"Oh, I'm sorry.. I didn't know about her.. Well I'll just come home I guess"

"And I have a home-coming present for you.." She said in such a tone, I could imagine her blushing face..'Sarah Sarah and Sarah, that is what you are Rose..' I thought to myself and smiled..

"Well, I hope I'm not being any disturbance for you.." I honestly pouted..

"Nonsense dear.. You are family now.. And families aren't disturbances.."

I was taken aback.. Before I could Express my shock.. "Don't get any thoughts, I was kidding.."

'So much for love..' I thought to myself.. "Well I wasn't getting any thoughts Rose.."

Sarah laughed.. "Well then take care of yourself.. I love you my baby.."

Her saying baby reminded me of her baby.. Ned..

"Ya bye.. Take care.."

And the line was dead..

Days flew by and Finally It was Friday..

I had called him umpteen times asking how longer it would take for him and his impatience was also increasing...

"This journey to your place from mine, seems like the longest.." he was complaining. which was quite unusual considering he never complained about anything..

"We shall speak about it once it ends Ned, How long is it going to take you..? " I asked him, sounding even more impatient than him..

"Fifteen minutes.. A White bus coming in.. And You shall see me.."

Fifteen minutes seemed like an hour.. For every mile that he crossed he was coming close to me.. I was getting so nervous that I could hear the pounding of my heart beat..

It had been quite silly, considering I had seen him for more than ten years.. But suddenly it had been like someone had flipped a light in the dark, and he seemed like a total new guy to me..

As if he was my Mr.perfect..

Suddenly the white bus came into the bay..

I Never even realized that my eyes had already started scanning for him even before my brain could say that it was him whom I had to search for..

I knew I had fallen in love, Too hard and deep..

I couldn't find him anywhere.. My impatience grew.. I had dropped my mobile in nervousness and surprisingly I was fumbling to myself..

Suddenly a familiar voice called from behind making me jump even more..

I was wondering why I had been so edgy..

"Who?" I just mouthed before which Ned picked up my mobile and dropped it in my hand..

"careful lady.." He said smiling..

One look at him, I knew he was the most handsome guy I ever met.. His crisp white shirt had a few lines of random colors and he had put his headphones near his collars that almost those wires seemed to trespass his shirt's lines.. The collar had been perfectly in place.. With one hand in his pocket and the other hand ruffling in his hairs , and with the shine of his buckle.. I knew I had fallen in Love, Too deep..

'And the twinkle in his eyes.. The ones that I would love to hold forever'.. I thought..

"Didn't still get over your dreams eh??" He was grinning at me..

Suddenly I realised that my staring at him had become quite obvious..

I blushed and looked down..

"Cute.." He mouthed and held my hand.

"Shall we make a move..?" He asked

I typically nodded my head and trotted like a lamb that followed its master.. I couldn't speak, I was shy for the first time in my life..

He didn't either until we had traversed a few miles..

"Just why are you so uncomfortable?" He asked for the first time, leaving my hand..

"Nothing like that.." I lied..

He started to grin.. "Miss.forensic scientist.. Even a dead body would have a higher temperature than your hand.. You are cold.."

I shivered and sneezed..

Ned was immediately by my side.. "You alright??"

His concern was moving me..

"Yes I am.. Just the typical case of a common cold.."

Ned grew annoyed.. "And with this you wanted to travel alone all the way home.. Did you have any medicine??"

"Nope" came the reply..

Ned grew even more annoyed.. "Girls, I tell you.."

He mumbled something and then pulled in a restaurant..

His masculine manners had been awesome.. The way he pulled the chair or sat by the side would have made any girl feel like a princess..

He passed on the menu and made me order for us both..

I had put a finger on the swollen nose of mine, wondering what to eat..

Ned had taken a snap of it..

I was staring at him..

"You looked cute.." He said ruffling his hair..

"Cut it.." I said snatching his mobile.. Only to see that his wallpaper was an edited picture of his mum and me..

I was touched..

He held me and nudged.. "Order dear.."

I did order for both of us and we munched the meal..

"And a cold coffee for the lady please.." He said as I was wondering how he knew this..

"The Last Time your ladyship had been angry you drunk this crap.." he mouthed..

"It aint crap I said.." He sniffed and made a face.. " It is.."

I stopped complaining, hoping that the coffee did magic to my cold..

Rose had called and Ned had been speaking to her.. Before handling it over to me and I had to handle another session of dearness and sweetness..

"Ready for the night??" He said winking at me and carrying my bagpack..

I Grinned and made a face at him...

Wondering what was going to happen next..

The subtle shimmering of your heart beat purely define the way you feel
No words can describe them otherwise.. No words!!

A Simple Love Story.. Part 19.. Dreamy Days

Posted by sti |

She Had Been Vividly Hovering In His Dream...

He Had Been Vivaciously Lying In Her Arms..

The Curtains Fell...

I Closed The Novel.. 'A Nice Happy Ending' I Thought..

I Had Been very happy today because I Had been praised By many for my presentations on the modern scopes of forensics.. My superiors were thoroughly impressed with my ideas at the first year of my career.. Many seniors had requested me to include them in my project.. I was wondering whom to ask for help.. If it had been school, I would've known whom to count on.. Things were different here!

After a seemingly long day, full of applause and praise.. I retired with a novel that Sarah had given me ages ago..

Needless to say, A romantic genre one..

Not that still I felt like reading it, but anyways I didnot find a valid reason to avoid it..

Ned had been more busy as he was working on increasing his flying hours..

It had been almost fifteen days since I left home.. Time had flown away like anything.. I had been busy with my presentations and he with his stuff..

I stretched and laid down on the bed.. The strain wasn't physical..

It was my heart.. It was yearning for his voice..

No matter how many times I convinced myself that his presence or absence isn't going to affect me, I just proved myself wrong...!!

And there seemed no point in running away from self..

Just when I was swinging my mobile phone here and there, he called..

As if it was his right to ease my ache..

"Hi baby.."

I sat up straight... 'He knows you love him.. And he is calling you a baby..'

"ya, hi.. How are you doing?"

Ned took a long pause.. "very well.. Guess I was sort of missing you around.. It's been ages since I came home.. Since we met also.."

"Coming to think of it Ned, I had been wondering the same.. I wanted to go back home.. Was thinking of starting on Friday.. Night should be easier.."

Ned sounded thoughtful.. " I wouldn't let you travel alone in night.. Now would you stop if I asked you to..?"

I was taken aback.. I had never had the experience before of being controlled out of concern.. It was amusing me..

I grinned to myself, tapped my forehead and said.. "Well, I'm not famous for some obedience.. Even if it is out of concern.."

Ned was angry, I could sense that.. Before he could say anything I Pouted.. "If Ned has concern for Ann, then her ladyship wishes to be escorted by you monsieur.."

Ned at once, reacted.. "You and your naughty thoughts!! "

I was grinning.. "I hadn't been naughty at any point on time, on the name of the Lord.. You were.. So point at yourself and speak.."

I knew very well if Ned had been in person at that time he would ve been grinning sheepishly.. He was a shy guy.. He got embarrassed when I pointed out to him..

I mocked the typical Voice of the Customer care of any Service-Provider .. "I-Am-Still-Waiting-For-Your-Response!!!"

Ned grinned and said.. "No, can never be an answer to you from me.. Your ladyship will reach her destination with her destiny.."

I had caught his point.. "No can never be an answer for me.. Come to think about it, does this have a validity for all my questions..??"

Ned laughed out loud.. "I'll explain all salient features of validity in person at midnight twelve when we see this weekend.."

I blushed.. I didn't know what to say, Ned teased me.. "Zap out of imaginations lady, Atleast not when I'm on the line.."

I protested.. "I'm not imagining anything.."

Ned mocked sadness.. "You aren't?? well, that's bad! The next time I say I'm coming you should blush pink.. And I shall make sure of it, my dear..."

I said in a dreamy tone.. "Ah, Well, Lets see if the charmer charms me the next time.."

Ned laughed.. "Charmer always charms you.. I know you must've blushed a zillion times by now.. Don't lie.."

I changed the topic..Things were going way much embarrasing..

"Rachel called.. She was pouting about your flying experience.. How come she gets to know it before me..?" I was asking, on a jealous tone..

"Well, She is my sweetheart.. And I'll say her.. "

I just couldn't hear even a lie like that.. I was damn possessive.. He knew that.. I, instantly became dead silent..

And he knew, I wanted him to notice my silence..

"Just kidding lady.. She had called me and I said her a word or two.. None is as important as you are okay? I think I'll have a dinner at your city.. as a compensation for hurting my ladyship.."

"Better.. " was the only word that I could mouth..

"And Rose wanted you to call her.. For some weekend shopping plans.. So you better do.. I had forgotten to say.."

I was instantly cheered up.. The very fact that his mom wanted me to spend time with her, appealed to me..

"Well, we shall get some strawberries for her... Do you think she likes it..?"

"Oh, Ann, She loves em.. That's great.. So when I come there, I'll get it..."

"No, We will get it " I said, as I put on a bright smile..

Even to myself, I sounded as if we had been married and I was going to my MIL's place..

As Ned said, I'd better shake all these imaginations..

"Ann, I have to leave now.. I have My basketball stuff.. I'm really sorry to break it at this tone.. I'll see you very soon.."

He said thus and without even pausing for my reply he had cut the call..

'Guys.!!!' I thought as I put down the phone and looked on the screen and read the lines:

She Had Been Vividly Hovering In His Dream...

He Had Been Vivaciously Lying In Her Arms..

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

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.

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...
