I
smiled in a weird way, sky was pouring and roads were all new! Human eyes
looked me, baffled. That evening walk to home was all fresh and new. At home I did nothing but sat to watch through the windows, the drips. 'Sharma, my three years' chant. I met him today, I have his
number, he smiled at me'. Wah!! I penned this in my journal. I never had this
happy-go-amused feeling with my journal before. 'I met himmmmm', I kept
repeating this whole day. I was lying on cloud no.9 then.
9.00
PM, it was freezing. Winter and loving heart make a pleasing combination. I felt this was a great secret of my life, I am a girl though. "Jaab!" I wanted to call Jaab, my only bestie.
She must be sleeping but I could not resist.
"Jaab!
You know what?1?" I was jumping on my cot. "Urgh.Pata nai yaar! How
will I know? I am sleeping, you idiot". I never heard her,"I met
Sharma baby! My Jitin Sharma!," I crinkled to make a weird laugh on
excitement. Girls knew it. "I met him on train today. God! he looks
handsome and you know what? I have his nimber". Jaab was rolling over to
get up and wore her specs. I don't understand this with her. "Saaleey!
When did this happen han?! I don't find a reason for you to crack me out in
this. It must be true," she gave her a confirmation. "So what next?
Mere piya. . . ab ajah re. . " she started singing. I crinkled again and
cut the call. 'Enjoy this girlie. I know you will love some lone time. tc.
cul." Jaab's text message beeped in and she always know me.
Stirring
the lumps of sugar in my cuppa, I looked at the wall before. Wall and Sky
showed him to me. "Arey! My hero. What's up there?". Wall echoed,
"Ring me up".
Exhilarated
gushing, I cut the call on second ring. 'What are you soing baby? You are a
girl and you call him!' the lady in me poked in. 'Fool he don't have your
number!' the angel in me convinced. Ego is the beauty spa of love, I mean
trashing the ego is. Sipping the last gulp, I brought my knees closer to the
chin, I went on a rehearsal. "Hello Sharma Sir". Fool sir haan? he is your love. "Hey hi! its me". Lady you are getting so formal.
"Hello Sharma . . train. . other day". Come on man! you will top his flirt list.
"Hello
Sharma! I am your junior, met you on train the other day. How are you?" I
spluttered out. His humble voice,"Hello! Jitin yeah. I am fine. So What's
up?". I blabbed,"I told you about my project? I have to discuss
something on it". I could hear him chuckle,"2013 pass out has a doubt
in her project yet? interesting." Err. . I flopped and still
managed,"Well yah! But I am continuing my work for my Masters. Am I
disturbing you?" Girls are clever about this question.
He
was gentle, "No not at all! Tell me." Boys are stupid about this
reply, when they like the girl. I mute the call to crinkle again. I
continued,"Did you have your break fast?". Not puzzled by my
deviation, he replied. We kept the call long with Arsenal's victory, political
chaos, breakfast and lunch menu. We reached to the point of chatting on likes
and dislikes. I felt this was too ripen for the first call.
A
mosquito pinched my chin to alarm me, it was all not happening in real. the
mobile was lying afar. With the foolish sigh, I picked up and dialed. A lady
said he was busy. Cut off the logic, its love and I was angry. Tenth attempt
and third ring the call was picked. "Hello! Preet here. Am I speaking to
Jitin Sharma?" My heartbeat was faster, my lips shivered. I heard
breathing on the other end,"Huh? No. Sorry. Wrong number".
