4. HIS BIRTHDAY AND THE PROPOSAL
I talked to Him the whole day,even between the classes.I was excited to meet him in the evening.
I returned to my hostel at 1:30 and then I took 2 hours to get ready and finally my phone rang.
It was Saras.
"Hey,where are you?"
"I am just below your hostel gate yaar."
"I am just..c-o-m-i-n-g within a sec."
And I ran out with his gifts without even noticing myself once in the mirror.
I was about to hit him when I stopped.
"Hey,sorry. I am a bit late.Happy birthday." And as I shaked hands with him I finally looked into his eyes for the first time and I could see how happy he was when he touched me.
I felt a bit awkward and pulled away my hand.
We went out and I gifted him a love-story book of my choice,a box of heart-shaped chocolates and a yellow rose.
He just loved them.
We moved around together,went to a temple ate lot of chocolates and spent the whole day happily with him.
It was 6p.m. and I had to return to my hostel.He came over to leave me and while we were walking back on the road I could realize that he was constantly staring at me.Unknowing we had held hands.
We were in-front-of my hostel when I smiled at him and came forward but he didn't leave my hands and said ,"Can we talk at night today,please."
I said,"Ohk,now go." and pushed him back.
I came back happily.
It was 11:30 pm and went to sleep smiling,thinking about the whole day and I picked up the phone and called him.
"Yes,princess.So you remember me right?"
"Yes,birthday boy.So,what did you want to say?"
"Oh we'll come to that."
We talked,fought like small children,and then suddenly he started sobbing.
I was surprised.I asked him,"Saras,what's wrong?"
"Ipsha the girl in my life is non other than you.You are the most beautiful and sweetest girl I have ever seen.During college,I even used to collect your chewed chewing gums and take each and every glance of you at any moment I could.Everyone knew about my madness about you but you never even looked at me.I know I am not handsome but I promise to make you feel beautiful all the time.I may not have money but I promise I would buy you smiles all the time.I love your eyes and can't see tears in them ever.You are an angel to me.You are my god and I wanna spend my whole life with you."
He was crying and still speaking.
"Ipsha...",he took a deep breath and said,"I love you".
There was total silence for five minutes and then I said,"Good night."
"Ipsha please talk to me.I need your answer.I feel that you too feel the same for me.Do you?"
"I am not sure Saras.I need time.I am sorry."
"It's ok.I have been waiting since 3 years,some more time is fine.Don't worry I will make you fall in love with me."
My heart skipped a bit.I smiled and cut the call.
I was in love.I was experiencing love for the first time.It was sweet and great like a thousand guitars playing together in the background,just like a Bollywood movie.
It was Saras.
"Hey,where are you?"
"I am just below your hostel gate yaar."
"I am just..c-o-m-i-n-g within a sec."
