Days went by before his lucky stars showed some mercy. A friend of hers moved next to his place.  Probably he will be now be able to see her when she comes down to meet her friend  But no such luck…Her friend luckily had a good sense of humor and they started talking and craking jokes… sometimes he would ask her friend about her.. pretending his best to make it look casual… but probably he was too bad at it.. cuz soon he started getting teased about her.. although pretended to be neutral something in him use to get happy about that thought of getting teased. He had to act neutral cuz he didn’t want anyone to say anything bad about her… he cud handle all the joking, critisism but the though of someone teasing her.. wudn’t just feel right…Chuimui..  

Salsa dancing.. he wanted to go only if she was going…doesn’t matter how many other people were going.. he still thanks her friend for casually mentioning about her going for that… he got another reason to send her messsages days were getting so much better… a salsa dancing with her wud have been like a dream come true..

She had to go out of town on that day and dancing with her … the dream just didn’t come true.. Not getting enough communication was making him afraid..an email in 2 weeks.. that was too slow… by this pace, he calculated, its gonna take him a few decades before he was able to know more about her.. One fine day he asked for her orkut id and another happy day.. now he cud send her orkut messages.. cudn’t wait to reach home and send her a message on orkut.. and may be know something more about her… He received the first shock of his life… how cud that be… her status was… his hrt wud just not believe what his eyes were seeing… how cud that be…. ….1!!!!!

The optimism in him was not planning on dying so soon.. soon it got him convinced that its not possible.. just like the way he keep on making his status to “open marriage” ” living with kids” probably she might have done the same thing..after all orkut is full of strange people… Probably he has had just too much belief in fate.. as soon this was all going to change… 

Now he was restless.. what if…? was a big question… her friend has asked him about her several times if he was interested in her…and he had always denied… He was not too comfortable talking to her friend reg that. If he had to say something like that to her, he will do that himself. If he couldn’t do that then he doesn’t deserve her.. 4 days have passed. He didn’t see her at all. Sent her an email but no reply. Just once… please and he was ready to blurt everything out.. But he wasn’t that lucky..

Her friend was kind enough to ask one more time about her.. and this time he was waiting for that moment… He said yes…. and then she disappeared… leaving him hanging…he cud hear a beating rythem .. .. .. ..  “she said no…talks about her marriage are going on at her home” 18th may.. friday about 4:00 p.m… his hrt sank for the very first time.. And for next two days…He was in an abyss… lay down on his bed.. not wanting to open his eyes…

He didn’t undertstand what just happened… didn’t talk to anyone didn’t watch tv, laid down like a dead man.. it was not so him. how can this be possible? But why he is so down..its not the end of the world…After all he hardly know her for last few months.. but wish life was so simple. Life is strange… and ones feelings towards someone are not dependent upon time. Sometimes it takes lifetime to know a stranger and you still dunno him and sometimes a stranger becomes your own in just a few moments.. Isn’t it strange He thought he wud be able to get up and running in no time… but he was so so wrong…. that weekend he realized… he is  just a human – nothing more nothing less..

continues…
