The mysterious call from nowhere……
The call was a mystery till I could find out the caller. But before I go into the details I gotta write about the past. Well, I and Sandhya made up nicely but what I could not make up really was her parents searching for her groom. I could not stop them and Sandy hereself could not stop them. We met plenty of times after that and each time my friends were to play the laughing stock in case my parents had called but luckily it never happend that way.
Our love grew each day each hour each minute and each second like everyone’s love would grow. Well the truth is even our fights grew and I was left belwildered each time. But the best occassion I had was when Sandy met with an accident and I had to abstain myself from going. Well we met after a month of her accident but the scars remained.
Kay or Krishna is my friend and Sandy’s friend. Each time I goto Bangalore I used to meet him and I had been his friend even before Sandhya was mine. We were good friends and many a times we hav chatted and shared drinks. Kay is a well wisher still and we still keep in touch.
In a bizzare way Kay quit his job in Bangalore to join back to his pre employer. An engineer with a marvellous record Kay was called for jobs everywhere and he decided to go back to his basics. He called Sandhya the day before he left to Hyderabad. Then she was etlling him happily that her marriage was fixed and the engagement function might happen the friday. Kay was from then frantically trying to reach me.
Well it was a sad thing that I know my girl friend’s engagement through a third person. She told me everything only after her engagement function got over because madam had a fear in her mind I would try to disrupt it. Foolish thought. What was worse was she was telling me she loves me all her heart. I can’t think a single thing then. I solwly recuperated wished her good luck with her marriage which was scheduled for february. We met again once after 15 days of her engagement.
The meeting explained it all. I knew what would be her answer cos I know very well Sandhya never had the guts to tell her parents about us. Worse was her parents could also not wait for 2 or 3 years for me to get settled. I always planned to get married around when am 26. Sandhya could not wait that long because many of her younger cousins are getting married or searching for grooms. Till now I don’t know if those are real truth or made up stories. I knwo she has one pretty cousin. Pretty really…..but till nwo un married.
I don’t know what changed her mind. May be the fear of facing the parents. May be the insecurity surrounding me, may be my business mentality may be may be may be.
To this day, I could not make out the real nature of this woman who is till date mad head over heels on me. But when I walked out she is another man’s woman now. I got an invitation about a month later by email and phone calls. I went to Bangalore on feb 1st week for the granite fair and met her in the same place where we first met. Sandhya told me or requrested me to come for her marriage. She gave me her friend’s number a chat friend named Mohan who has promised to make to her marriage. I spoke with him. But my position then was different.
The D Day. I was back again in Bangalore. This time I had told my mom the truth. I landed in Majestic and bookd myself in a hotel nearby. I could not make it to her marriage. I called MOhan, he told me he will wait in a bakery near by. I could make it there but I could not bear the thought of this incident and I apologised with Mohan. I requested him to nto tell her that I am here and I left. I went to the room I got drunk and I met my cousin who patiently heard it all and muttered life must go on.
Yaa life went on and it is moving on till todate. Life is beautiful to be spent worrying or thinking over this. I went again to Bangalore the month end and stayed there for more than ten days for project. Same hotel Same place same people but life was different. I was feeling refreshed and went to coorg with cousin for two days during holi.
All was fine and life was great until the day MELISSA CALLED…………
I have no regrets on what is lost with me. I don’t want another guy or gal to get lost in the world of chat friendships or love. Its mostly something that ain’t work or you are gonna end up paying a high price for it.
