Right Decision (Part 2)

As she knocked the door,her heart was beating faster due to anxiety.His wife opened the door.Payal introduced herself and she invited her inside.Payal just made herself comfortable on the sofa and his wife sat nearby her.Payal asked her that if she needed any help.She said that at present she did not need anything but would surely tell her if she needed anythinthing in the future.She told that her name was Smita.She was a housewife.Payal looked around for Om,but could not see him anywhere in the house.She began to think that probably she had come at the wrong time.At that time only,Smita told her that Om had gone to his office as there was some urgent work and must be coming back.Payal was afraid for a moment that Smita probably read her mind.She thought that she should wait for him.

At home,Payal was feeling uneasy.She just wanted to see the same emotions for her in his eyes,.But Om even did not recognise her.All this was hurting her a lot.While she was thinking about her visit to Om house,her mobile phone rang and it was Brajesh’s call from USA.She picked the phone and Brajesh told her that he had reached there safely and asked her to take care.She talked to him for 10 min and when she hang up she began thinking that why she wanted Om to recognise her and to show feelings for her.Was she not satisfied with her married life with Brajesh?.Brajesh was very loving and caring, but he never used to express his love in words or not even through his eyes.He would help her in kitchen, would take her out for movies,dinner,but rarely say ‘ILU’ or look at her in a very loving way.Sometimes, you need your partner to be more expressive.

Unlike Brajesh, Om eyes used to do all the talkings.You would be able to read all his heart through his eyes…very very expressive eyes..Parul used to sing ‘Jeevan Se Bhari Teri Ankhee Mjboor kere Jeena ke liye’for his eyes.

Payal went back to her post graduation days and started thinking of the day when she first saw him.It was the time when she had just completed her B.Tech from a regional Engineering collage and she was planning to do M.Tech and luckly her GATE percentile was also gud and she got admission in I.T., BHU.Payal was more than happy as now she would go back to her home and complete her post graduation there as her father was professor there and her family used to live in BHU campus.Earlier her family used to live in an independent quarter, but recently had shifted to a newly built flat and there were 6 families living in that building and there were many girls of her age group and in the evening they used to gather and enjoy among themselves.In the front of her flat there was a Hanuman Mandir where many people used to come for worshiping the God.Payal usually did not believe in visiting temples for worship,she did not need an idol to concentrate.If she wanted to remember God,she would close her eyes for two minutes.Anyway,one day she was sitting with her friend who used to live on the ground floor of her flat,then only she pointed out at a guy who was just coming out of the temple and told that the guy used to come daily and very frequently he used to moop the floor of the temple.Payal looked at him disinterestingly and then resumed talking to her friend.

And in her institute everything was new to her as the culture was different from her previous collage and there were only 5 students in her descipline and so she was feeling somewhat lonely but one relief was there that one of her friends at her previous collage was also there,so usually she used to talk to Abha only .One day after her classes, she was just sitting with her friend on the staircase which was in front of her classroom and at that time a group of boys passed by .Her friend pointed out at a guy saying that he was resembling ‘AJAY JADEJA’ .Parul looked at him .He was tall dark handsome boy and at that time he was playing with his keys.He smiled at Payal, but Payal ignored him.There were many boys in the institiutes and girls students were very few and some boys were really smart, but Payal was not really interested in all these things as she was an average looking girl and she used to think that boys took interest in beautiful girls only.After some days, she saw Ajay Jadeja in her institute library.He was staring at her only.Payal somehow liked the way he was staring at her and this time she noticed that his eyes were really very expressive and full of emotions and was having a very lovely smile.She guessed that he was a student of B.Tech IV year as it was placement time for final B.Tech students and she had seen him near the placement office .But somehow Payal felt that she had seen the guy somewhere else also but she did not remember exactly where she had seen him earlier.

Now, every other day she would see the guy either in the corridor or in the library and each time she would try to recall that where she had seen him but she was unable to rembember .One day her friend caught him staring at Payal.Abha told that Ajay Jadeja was staring at her and she said ‘YAAR TUMHE KITNE PYAR SE DEKHTA HAI’.Payal really felt happy after hearing her friend’s comments.The next day, she was just standing in her balcony and just she saw Ajay Jadeja coming out of the temple and yes then she remembered that he was the same guy who used to moop the floor of the temple.Then she started keeping track of his visits to the temple so that she could know if there was any fixed time of his visits.and after 3-4 days of data collection, she came to know that usually he used to come there between 5-6 pm.Now, she also decided that from the next day she would also visit the temple regurlarly in the evening. .How your love interest can change your habits.Suddenly she started believing in idol worship…ha ha ha.

The next day after coming from the institute at 4 pm, she did not change her dress and after drinking tea she just sat in the balcony.Actually her flat was at the 3rd floor and you can see a wide view of the road which was in front of her house.So, at 5.30 pm, she saw Ajay Jadeja coming and she immediately went in her dressing room and hurridely combed her hair and saw herself in the mirror to check that everything was looking alright .Accidently her mother was in the dressing room and when she saw her daughter getting ready in a hurry, she immediately asked her that where she was going.Payal was just thinking that how mothers anticipate things when their daughters are upto something which they are not supposed to .Anyway she told her that she was going to the temple.Her mother again said that ‘TUM KAB SE MANDIR JANE LAGI’.Payal immediately said,’AAJ SE’ .
