A notes on her

Image
 The Intro "Which floor are you on?" she messaged. I have been waiting for her for a few minutes now. I am in the mall on some floor (I just know that it is not the ground floor), holding a bag of items that I purchased earlier. When she asked for the floor, I gave the surroundings a rough look and quickly replied "1st." But after a few seconds, I realized that I was actually on the 2nd floor. Scolding my lazy brain, I grabbed the nearby elevator and reached the first floor. So, here I am, waiting for her, the moment nearing with every passing second. I noticed that my heartbeat started racing. The calmness is slowly fading away in the light of excitement and nervousness.  I planned to spend the time very efficiently once she arrived so that every second would store the memories equivalent to an hour. But my brain might have started doing that from now. I can hear nothing but my heartbeat, but it is going very slow - L..U..B..D..U..B... Then I am drawn into a movie....

*** Missed part two? Click here ! Want to read from the start? Click  here ! *** Sumit is standing near the top of the cliff while the Sun is preparing to call it a day. The cool breeze is giving him company. He closes his eyes to register the scenery deep in his heart. After a few moments, he opens his eyes and gets startled to see someone near the cliff's edge. The silhouette looks like a woman. She is not watching the sun. She is watching him. Does she know him? Or, does he know her? He decides to move towards her. She is wearing a black scarf around her neck, which is swinging opposite to the direction of the wind. As soon as he starts walking, she also starts moving. After a few steps, he realises it - she is moving, but not towards him. "Hey, what are you doing?", Sumit shouts. Now he starts running. "Stop! Stop moving that way..!", he screams. She stops at the edge of the cliff. He is still running to catch her before she can do something horrible. While ...

*** Missed part 3 ? Click here Want to know from the start? Click here *** "Hello, Rohan?", Apoorva lifts the call. "Hi, how are you?", says Rohan. "Yeah, I am great. How are you?" His voice starts to tremble. What should be his reply to the question? He cannot lie to her. But he cannot hide the truth either. "I don't know, Apoorva. It's hurting, even though I prepared for this moment." "Maybe you just underestimated it, like every time you do." Yes, she is right. She was there with him - When he used to play till one day before the exam and got panicked after that; When he boasted to run for five km. at a stretch but started to pant after a few metres; When his drawings were a piece of crap but he felt as a Picasso. He remembered her laughing till she complained of a stomachache. When he remembers them today - the day before her marriage, he realises what he has done to himself. The memories that he created all these years, to ...

My dear sis - 02

You arrived in my life,  as an angel fulfilling the wish of a kid, as a company to the lonely life. You understand my words, whenever I express them; You know my feelings, even when I can't say them. The comfort I get, after sharing my thoughts; I cannot get it everywhere, with everyone - the magic is you. I want to use this chance, to thank you - for being my sis, to remind you - you are special to me, to wish you - a very happy birthday. I don't know, whether I am a good son and a good friend; But, can I be your good brother, till the end of my life?

  *** Missed part one? Click here *** "Tara.." "Mmm...", Tara was rolling in her bed. She was creating just enough sound so that she would not wholly wake herself up but would inform her mother that she was not asleep. She had wanted to enjoy the pleasant moments before the day began its hunt on her. She wanted to sleep more. She was trying to slow the time. Maybe I need a time machine just to sleep more. But, wait... Her sleep was now half disturbed. Why do I want to sleep more? Summer mornings would be easier to wake up right? Why is it this much cool? It must have rained in the night. "Is there any rain yesterday Mom?", her eyes half closed. "Yes yes. There was a sudden rain the night." Does it mean... "But thank God it is cleared now. Now, come on. Don't you want to go to school?" Why they don't give holidays in these situations?  Why the holidays should be given on those specific dates every year? Are we meant to feel happy...

 *** Missed part 2? Click here ! Wanna read from the start? Click here ! ***  "So, do you have any crush in the past or at present?" Without thinking about the consequences, Rohan replied, "Yeah... you know, just some actresses I can list." "Nope. I am asking about people you talk to - some of your friends, neighbors like that?" replied Apoorva. Rohan's heartbeat skipped for a few seconds. He was forced to think about the situation that he did not expect to occur. The two seconds he spent thinking of the best reply felt like ages. "No, Nope. No one, actually", Rohan tried to appear as normal as possible. "Okay, cool." "Err... What about you? Do you have any crushes?" "Ha-ha, no, I also don't have." She was right. Her marriage was an arranged one and also a good one. A rare combination. Lucky her. *** "Hey! What are you thinking? Are you sweating?" asked Ridhi. "Oh, me? Nope. It reminded me of a...

  The road is dark and foggy. It is clear up to a few feet, preventing viewing clearly what lies ahead. Anyways, this road is familiar for him. He can manage except on those nights when he is diving deep into his thoughts. Unfortunately, tonight is one such night. ** His colleague, Rekha. He is in a dilemma. He wants to be with her, and at the same time, he fears what can happen if they get together. He is trying hard to be with her, most of the time. At the same time, he is forcing himself to stay neutral. Recently, he observed that Rekha has preferred to be with him. She sits with him whenever possible - at the office, during lunch, tea breaks and tours. Whenever they talk to each other, they look into their eyes, directly. Just the eyes. Eye contact makes them lose track of time. He does not know what is happening. Does he feel happy with her being near? Yes, no doubt. Does she feel uncomfortable with him being near? No, she never expressed such a thing. "Hi, Sumit. Err, so, I ...
