Its Best Said, When It Is Said From Heart,
It says What you Thought, You Felt And What Not?!

"Just what do you mean by saying that??" Ned was asking me..

Even in such a blizzard situation, I couldn't help, but admire the gaze of his eyes..

I got up very calm and composed.. "I said, Just leave me.."

"And what do you think of yourself..?"

I drew a deep breath.. "I said leave me.. I know you too well.. I know what you've been trying all along.. You have no idea what sort of a trouble you are in.."

"Well," He said smiling, "Whatever it is you would forgive me.." He came close, I moved away..

Facing the party I said.. "Its just not done.. Its not always about us.. You have no idea what you've done to Rach.."

Ned came in front.. "Rachel.. ??" He did not understand what I meant to say..

"Ned Nickerson.. Rachel loves you..."

Ned threw back laughing.. "For God's sake Ann there is a limit for possessiveness.. She never did and also never will love me... She is my friend.. And she should be knowing by now that you love me..."

I challenged.. "You didn't tell her that we two are together right? Welll, neither did I.. "

I turned back faced him and said.. "So how does that sound?"

Ned cupped my face in the moonlight.. "I love you.. More than any one else.."

I couldn't hold back more.. Tears glittered in my eyes... " I do too.."

I blushed let go off him and ran into the party.. And told it to Sarah..

She lifted me off the ground.. Even Richard understood, and went over to Ned for a manly handshake..

But I had a few girly scores to settle.. I knew.. I pouted my plan to Sarah and Richard.. I took Sarah by my hand and winked at Ned..

Both of us were just popping around and then.. We went to Rachel.. "So Rachel..."

"Yo girls, how have you been..?"

"Good".. Sarah said.. "Very good.." I pouted..

Rachel had drunk a bit.. It was obvious the way she was swinging.. "Where is my cutie-pie honey Ned..?"

I gritted my teeth.. 'cutie-pie, my ****' I thought..

"Well, It was awesome, the way you twirled with him.." Sarah lied..

I couldn't even lie saying such a thing.. It didnot make a difference, since the music had been loud enough for her to ignore my silence...

Rach went on.. "Ya, ours is meant to be.. Our love is full of glee.. I would do anything to make him mine you know Sarah.. Just anything.. I Loveeeeeee Him.."

Ned came from behind.. Rach threw herself upon him, only sorrow thing was that she fell in my arms..

"Ann.. Move.." Rach grumbled...

"No you listen, you move.. You are in the middle.."

Ned hated me more than anything when I meddled into girly girlish fights, and in fact I hated it myself..

I just began to move.. Ned stole up from behind and lifted me off the ground.. I squealed..

"I have been giving you a hard time.." Ned apologised softly..

We had attracted a lot of attention from the crowd.. I could see a lot of people looking at us open mouthed..
The minute he left me off to touch the ground.. We were at the parking lot....

I had already waved a good bye to the whole crowd, I knew I wouldn't see them back again for a while..
"Can you come with me..??" Ned questioned..
"Yup " I said.. And struggled not to make any eye contact, I would blush..
After making sure that I was comfortable, he sat inside the car... "This is going to be fun.."
I smiled.. My favorite song was on the music system.. I looked outside to see the lights dimming and dipping.. To me they looked perfect in the night..
"Admiring the glow in the dark, lady?" he questioned after a prolonged silence..
I looked at him... I couldn't believe that I actually go my guy.. He was the one that I had dreamed when I thought of crush.. He was perfect.. He had come into my life.. And he was going to be there everyday from now on.. He would love me know matter what I did...
I was slowly realizing how significant the day had been and how much I had got in the particular day..
A tear flowed down my cheek..
"Why now..??" he frowned and brushed it off..
"Don't baby sit me Ned.." I laughed.. "Just drive.."
He pulled the car.. "What ??"
I sat stiff... "Can't believe this is happening to me..!!"
Ned got startled.."Why... I thought you expected it earlier.."
I looked at him and said.. "I expected.. But didn't realize the worth of love.."
"Uhh.. Romantic words.." Ned smirked..
I laughed.. "Nothing.. Just nothing.. Drive on..."
We had gone long.. Until I just saw two big lights and an arch full of grasses.. To me at the first look, nothing else could be seen...
I jumped out of the car laughing.. You wanted me to see this arch..
"Well, what do you think..?" He had come quite close to me.. I shivered..
I looked as I winked my eyelids, suddenly lights flashed and I saw.. A white pathway.. Full of marble..
I was amazed..
"Come.." He said gripping my hands and entangling my fingers.. It was safe because it was with him..
To me it was the most beautiful thing that I had ever seen.. I was slowly trying to look around, but it was so dark that I couldn't see a thing..
Then I saw a small bench.. To call it just a bench would be again a disgrace, because it was in white marble, looked as if it was shining solely under the reflection of the moon..
He had left me alone.. The marble was cold... Everything was silent, no one was around..
Millions of questions were running in my mind.. As to why and what was going to happen.. But I was too happy to think..
In a while he came behind and said.. " Just close you eyes.."
The next minute he was down on one knee.. My hand was between both of his.. It was safe.. I knew I was that tightly safe with him..

"Miss.Anny Drew.. You Are the one and only girl who has always been the definition of perfection in my life.. You are beautiful in every move and you connect with me.. I have always longed for your affection.. I have hurt you, played with you, toyed you, fought with you- because you are mine.." he chuckled softly and whispered "and also frankly I have missed you.."
I swore, I knew My heart skipped a beat...
And then slowly he rose up.. And cupped my face in between his hands..
"But most of all ... I love you.. For Now and Forever..."
Silence seemed the only sound except for his heartbeat, as I hugged him for the first time in the heights of affection and care.....

A Simple Love Story.. Part 24.. The Moving Away Phase..

Posted by sti |

In The Shades Of The Dark, I beseech the Moon light..

When Times Are Tough, I Pray For You With All My Might..

Once the song had ended.. I clapped merrily seeing Richard giving a smooch to Sarah.. She had been perfect.. The moment had been perfect, frozen in my mind for all the ages to come.. She was happy, ecstatic.. She had wanted this, She had dared to go for it, after many short-comings they had wound up together...

"Nice act on the floor Ann.." Rach's voice pulled me out of the trance..

I suddenly realised that I had attracted more attention than I could afford to.. "Well, thanks.." I said and I blushed.. it was becoming awkward for me..

"I didn't know that you danced so well.." My mom pouted hugging me.. "Well, you have a lot to discover about me.." I said loudly grinning ..

I had enough of these fake people.. I went to my bestie.. One pounce I was hugging her so tightly, I was so sure nobody could feel the warmth I felt at that moment ever in my life!!

Tears welled in my eyes, I couldn't believe all this was happening so soon..

"Don't I deserve one too..?" Richard asked looking over me.. "ha ha come here girl" he pouted patting my head.. "You were terrific, your first performance was worth the wait...."

"the credit is all to my tutor" I said smiling at him...

The music had again begun.. I began to move in the crowd.. To the same bush where i always used to stand and see people dance..

To my utter dismay, I saw Ned in there with Rach.. I shuffled to avoid them seeing me.. And quietly settled in another place..

"So you aren't gonna dance with my bro again tonight??" A voice asked..

"Hi, bells I didn't see it was you.. How have you been..??"

"Good dear.. Hey listen, will you dance with me.. I mean they are planning for a girls thing.. Shall we..??"

"I would love to.." I said and caught her hand, went in and changed into the type of clothes I wear.. But today even they were a bit fluffy..

For the first time ever in my life, I let my hair run down my shoulders..

"You look gorgeous that way.." Bells said as we moved on...

The dance had been a fiery act... To the song 'Lose my breath' and clearly all guys had lost theirs!!

I had after many days let myself free and danced like it was the only thing I was ever born to do.. And it added more grace..

"Looks like someone is very sexy today.." I blushed hearing this from Richard.. "Hey, I meant my girl.."

I made a face.. "Ya, I know.."

Richard stood up and said.. "The one who is supposed to say all this to you is waiting to grab you on the floor again.." He said pointing to Ned, who had been looking at us from the other end..

"Just forget it..." I said as I made an exit.. With Sarah and Richard making vain calls for me to come back...

'I had had a very good evening.. I was happy for her.. '... I thought as I was sitting on the edge of the swimming pool having a fruit punch in hand and both my legs in water.. The moon was shining in its full glory above me.. 'Ned And Rachel..' I was thinking to myself.. 'Why aren't you surprised Ann.. She and him.. Shoot me.. ' I thought..

'Thoughts are strange.. They entice you in happiness, entangle you in confusions, and strangle you in sadness.. Thoughts Fantasy.. Love, Commitment, Relationships..' I Thought, as I hugged my knee... 'Love..' I thought, closing my eyes and forcibly remembering our first hug.. 'A big mistake..'

I would have made three to four circles around the swimming pool drowning in the thoughts of my own head.. After which I realised the howling and hooting noise from the party..

" I guess its still on... " I spoke loud to myself..

"Yeah, it is.." I heard from behind.. I could realise it miles away.. Ned..

I was angry.. I didn't open my mouth.. I just started from the place.. 'How dare he insult me in public and come over and speak!' I thought..

"Now look Ann, I know you are angry.. " Ned said standing on the path and blocking my way ahead..

I stood right in front of him and looked in his eyes challenging him to speak..

Ned started.. "I know I have been damn bad.. You were ill, I didn't bother enough to call you, neither did I attend your calls... And infact I had been selfish enough to go on a dinner date with another girl and I did not even tell you.. I made fun of your health and I danced with someone else.. I was rude, mean, arrogant and all wrong.."

I had heard too much than what I could bear up that day.. As I still was staring at him, my eyes started tearing up.. I wanted to run away and I did try..

He had caught me.. And had held both my hands folded behind, he was over powering me.. Apart from being helpless, I just couldn't bear the pain of my hands being wrenched..

"Where are you going? Wait.. I'm not done yet.. You think I'm in love with her don't you..?"

He said, the only response I gave was more crying.. I was budging him, hoping he would loosen the grip, with which he held me, but nothing seemed to work..

"What, frightened being this close to me.. This isn't the first time is it..? You love me don't you..? And anyways we had spent many nights together travelling right..?"

The only response I again gave was crying..

He tightened the grip even more.. It was as if he would kill me the next moment..

He looked in my eyes.. "What do you want to say through these tears..??"

I mumbled.. "Leave my hands please.."

One move, I was free.. I fell down.. He was standing facing the opposite side..

"Ned Nickerson.. Leave me..." I said out aloud..

And there he stood stunned like Someone had stabbed him...

A Simple Love Story.. Part 23.. The Dance..

Posted by sti |

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

Posted by sti |

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..

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:
