My sleep got
disturbed by some noises. I opened my eyes. My cousin was trying to unscrew
something. I wiped my eyes to have clear vision.
“Oh sorry to
wake you up. I need your hard disc to backup my data from my office pc. “ he
said wiping his sweat from his forehead.
“ oh ok ok no
issues take it” I said and went back to sleep. Oh noo wait if my cousin takes
my hard disc how can I operate my system. How can I talk with her. I sprang out
my bed. Even before I get of my door, my cousin’s cab sped away.
Only one
thought was beaming around in my head.
“ HOW WILL I
CHAT WITH HER NOW???? “
Took bath and
came out of my room. Dad had left for his office and mom was busy with kitchen
works. i surfed the t.v channels. All the news channels were busy with their “
Breaking News” scrolling. The rest channels were filled with Saas- Bahu soaps.
( one thing about these daily serials, what ever be the time, irrespective of
day and night, all the casting will be in party wear with huge makeup even when
they wakeup from sleep. Women watch these soaps only for the costumes the
actress wear.)
Mom served me
the breakfast. Every mom is the best
cook in the world. The food was delicious.
I was back
surfing channels. And damn time was not passing. Mom finished her work, came
and sat beside me. She read my mood and was asking the reason behind it. Later
to change the topic, we talked about various things but any discussion with
parents comes to studies or career. She was asking my future plans. I said that
I would be appearing for Gate exam and will start the preparation in few days.
In order to
kill time, I started my preparation. I dusted my all in one. The book was
almost new. For some time my brain was
occupied with the formulae of finite element method. Each formula acted as a
sleeping pill. Soon I slept making my all in one as my pillow. My mobile beeps
woke me up. It was she.
“ hi where are
u?”
“ why r u not
online? Are u busy or outside?
I told her that
cousin took my drive so cant access computer. (I exceeded my monthly limit of
net in phone so I had no choice than messaging her.)
“ oh that’s too
bad. Wait I have a way. Lets chat on phone” she said.
I too was about
to ask the same but I was unable to ask.
This idea of
her made my days more beautiful. Our phones never rested. Right from morning to
mid nights we continuously spoke. All the chats helped us to know more things
about each other in depth. And opinions matched 99% on any issue.
The TRAI has
put a check to our happiness.
“ Only 100 SMS
per day to any network. Rule comes under act from mid-night”
Indian Govt.
never want to see us happy. This news created waves in youth. They used social
networking sites to wage war on this issue and they won. Now the SMS limit was
extended to 200 per day. Rest of the nation might have left happy but not me. Immediately
I called my brother to take back my drive. He gave a negative news in a cool
way saying that the drive was with his friend and I won’t get it for a week.
200 sms were not enough for us per
day. Infact in 2 hours, we crossed the daily limit. As mine was post paid I
dint had a problem. But she switched from mobile to waytosms.com,
160sms.com etc., etc., msg sited in
order to chat with me. And at the end of
the day, one call was mandatory and it would last for minimum one hour. I
thanked my brother for taking my drive J.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
On the 9th
day evening, I got my drive back. I installed it and logged into gmail. She was
happy coz now there is no need for her to switch to different msg sites.
“Hi, welcome back to gmail. Now I can relax” she said.
“ hey, will be
back after meeting” and she left. I was busy scanning my drive. I lost no
content. It was fine. She came back from her meeting with a bad news.
“ I just a call
from pune. I will be having my final round tonite. Fingers crossed”
I was silent
was a minute. I was not knowing how to react.
“oh grt. All
the best” said I and felt the chat saying I have some work. My mood got
disturbed. She too was busy preparing for the exam. In between she messaged me
as she was tensed about the interview. I was halfheartedly encouraging her.
After 1.30am I
got the message from her.
“ Didn’t
cleared the interview” L
“ Oh no!
happens. Don’t take it to heart. Better luck next time.. you may get better job
than this one.” Said i.
“ Hmm. Yeah. A bit
sad. Going for a break. Will chat later”
I pretended to feel sorry for her. But inside I
was happy. Some times we need to be selfish. She came back but still she was
gloomy.
“ You still
look sad. That was not the last job on planet. Chill.” I poked her.
“its not about
the interview. One guy is being back of me. He says he loves me and wants to
marry me.”
What the
F*UK!!!!!!!!
“ Who is that
guy” I asked. My blood was gushing.
“ Praneeth.(name
changed ).He was my colleague in previous office. Now he says that he wants to
marry me. And he about to bring his parents to my home. I don’t like him at
all. He knows about my breakup. Not knowing what to do” she said in helpless
tone.
I was in a
state mixed of anger and jealous. Unknowingly I was being possessive about her.
“ then say the
same thing that u don’t like him.” I said suppressing my anger.
“ I said it but
insisting me continuously in mails and facebook. He has become a big headache
to me now a days”
Now she was
loosing her coolness. So I changed the topic to job vacancies. She helped me
out with some interview tips and FAQs. We spoke the whole night till her shift
ends. Even though am jobless I do night shifts. We continued our sms
conversation all the day. When she is at home we sms’ed each other. When she
reaches office we switch to gtalk.
to be continued...
