Yes, it all
started with a ‘smile’
in the computer lab and then got promoted to the chemistry notes. Trust me,
chemistry was least important for Tanya until she called Sahil to ask for the
important keywords which were marked only in his book. The first phone call by any sober
girl to a cute, good-looking and extremely irresistible guy is always a big
topic to discuss. Tanya was utterly confused
unable to decide whether she should call him or not.
“It’s
just a matter of keywords”, she said to herself. “But what will he think about
me?”
she cross questioned herself. “Exams
are near, why to take a chance this time." “No, no… I’ll find some other way out else he’ll feel I’m a despo.” “Let him think what he wants. I’m going to call him up.”
Finally
fighting with her own conscience she dialed Sahil’s number, for the very first
time in life pre-planning the conversation.
“Hello!”
he said. She
was blank and the reason is yet unknown. Regaining her consciousness she said, “Hey, this is Tanya.”
Tanya gave her brief intro reminding him of who she was. He recognized her and
replied positively.
“Well, I wanted to know about
those chemistry keywords” she continued.
Like a good
boy Sahil made her mark half of the keywords. They were running short of time,
so they hung up the call. The very next day, at the same time, it became almost
impossible for Tanya to resist herself from calling that cute and handsome guy.
Yes, he was freaking
cute!! It was not that the keywords were so important. Tanya only wanted to
hear him say hello. She only wanted to witness his mesmerizing voice. On
that Day 2 they had a talk, a long one and Tanya still remembers clearly that
it was the day when she started respecting him for what he was. Sahil introduced Tanya to the
most beautiful lady of his life-his mother. She
was almost into tears when she heard his surviving story. All the keywords were
still not with her but now she was least bothered about it. She was lost in
some other word. Listening about the three guilts of his life, Tanya started
admiring him even more. She kept on thinking that it was just two days and how
he can as a person open up so much in such a short span of time. They hung up
the call definitely leaving Tanya in an ocean of ‘smile’. Oh…!! That
‘smile-for-no-reason’ is the most genuine for sure.
Day
3
At
approximately the same time in the evening she called him up again and their
conversation varied from ‘astrology’ (Yeah,
he believes in astrology and stuff) to family
issues to likes and dislikes of each other. Sahil
was a very mature guy knowing more than his age while Tanya was innocent more
than she should be. Yes, they were opposites in most of the aspects I guess but
they say ‘opposites do attract’. Each time Tanya had a talk with Sahil, she
came up with an entirely different Sahil. Tanya considered Sahil as a very
stable person who was intensely grounding and lived in a world of his own. He was deep and grave and the most important
part was that he understood Tanya really well. In a way no one could ever.
Maybe that was the electric connection between them which was pushing her
towards him. Maybe her definition of a perfect match was proving true.
Well! Now it was more than one hour thirty minutes talking on the phone.
“I
got to go” said Tanya knowing well that she doesn’t
want to.
“Okay, Bye!”
said Sahil.
“Bye”
she responded and was just going to hang up the call.
“Tanya”
he said in a tone which demanded her to stop.
“Yes”
she replied elongating the word.
“I love you”
said he making her nothing but stunned. It
happens, this sentence for sure takes every girl by surprise. She could not
believe that her crush had actually said those three magical words. Tanya was
smiling from ear to ear; completely blank not knowing what to say and how to
say.
While she was still trying to believe the words she heard, Sahil observed the
silence and felt that Tanya didn’t like what he said. He thought that Tanya
didn’t appreciate his effort. So, he immediately said, “I am sorry”
to which Tanya replied, “Don’t
be, because I love you too.”
