Part 4
As we arrived inside my room, Sakshi left us saying “All the best people, make the best of your time ”
Sanskar first looked at me and then he started studying My room, He complimented “The room is as pretty as the girl standing here, How neat and tidy you have kept everything ” All that was 3 people and 1 hour effort! I thought to myself
He moved ahead and grabbed my bean bag and sat there leisurely, On the other hand I was going nervous again with teraflop of thoughts of what next now ? What about Sumit ? What if this guy likes me ? will my parents be forcing me to marry him? I still love sumit I can’t marry someone else.
While I was tossing myself with all these thoughts and questioning, Sanskaar stood and asked “Can we sit?” waving his hand. There was something about this guy’s smile it made me to a little ease. I sat on my bed in a very attentive position with my back straight and chin up, While he sat down back on the bean bag very casually rotating his phone he said “So you like chicken , Huhh”
I Smiled “Yes, Almost all the cuisines related to chicken”
He continued “If you can cook, I would too like to try chicken then”
I was confused as his mom told me that he is an eggetarian “But you don’t take meat do you?” I asked .
“yes I am not a non vegetarian , However I started eating egg while I started gyming and chicken I would like to try , As you love it so much ” He answered and smiled again.
I looked down and then to my left and then in random directions, while he was constantly watching me I felt a little uneasy with him staring me, behind Sanskaar there was a huge Painting of a teenaged Couple holding hands Framed with quotes “I Love that Feeling, I get when I see you smiling ” It was gifted to me by Sumit on last valentine's day. I was lost for a while.
Sanskar again Broke the Silence “You Know you look a little nervous, Are you Okay ?”
“Hmm” I just nodded , as he continued “Shreya … ” he paused till I looked at him “Shreya look even I am a bit nervous, I agree getting married is a big decision. However I feel things can workout well if we give it a try….. I mean we should talk, to know each other better ….if you like we can meet later on once or….. Like…uhhh separately outside or ..ummmm ”
He looked at me as if he was trying to figure out if I was listening to what all he said . And then he asked “Only if you like it. It’s completely Ok , if you don’t want to talk now , I understand”
“Sanskaar ”That was the first time I addressed him , with his name I found it huge , kind of heavy “Look there is nothing as such , I am actually wondering , like what exactly can I ask you, I wasn’t prepared at all, that is it. nothing else . We can definitely talk . You can go ahead and ask if you have any questions.”
There was silence for some time this time he was looking at his mobile and then he asked “So you are a software engineer ?”
“ Yes , An android applications Hybrid developer to be precise ” I answered.
He raised his eyebrows “Oh ! that’s cool I do understand android application, for the rest I am not that technically sound ” he said “ You know , In my family pretty long discussions about you were the hot topic on dinner table from past one month and so I was a bit curious to know more and I have done as much research as I could ” he Giggled
“ That means you already know a lot about me right ? ” I enquired
“Not really , but yes I know where you are working ie Wipro Office, where is your office located , and haa you take your company bus you took dance classes from Markanda academy, You are a good with cooking , well that I came to know recently … and … and ….”
I started laughing “and well that’s quite good amount of information, I am worried now I didn’t get a chance to do any research on you” I said.
“Well you see you can ask” he prompted
“Okay , then tell me something about you that was not discussed in the hall , Or something no one knows” I said and smiled.
He gave me a suspicious look and said “No One knows huhhh, I have a skate board I used to skate A lot in college however I barely get time for that now but i do imagine myself doing it when I dream and I fall off from my bed while i'm Asleep” , He laughed- “well that’s something no one knows” he continued “I play guitar , I love A R rahman songs, I do poetry too , for which I was quite popular among girls in my college ”
“Wow Nice that means you had a great fan following ” I asked
“Not Fans,friends” he responded.
“Uhhh huhh ...Girl friends? ”
He laughed “No , I wasn’t that fortunate, Most of the girls I used to like were already dating someone or the other ,Hard luck with that.” he sighed “And what about you , Did you have any Boyfriend”
I was silent for sometime …may be, I was confused , Unable to figure out if I should answer him? I didn’t felt like lying to him no idea for what reasons
“I have a boy … Boyfriend his name is sumit and ummm… we had this last month”
Sanskaar stood up and said “You have ?”, there was a pause “That’s Okay Shreya I don’t want to know much on that context , do you still are in love with him ”
I looked up towards him...“I think so ”, I was so clueless . and worried about what all I was saying. There was too many other things which I wanted to explain him. One of which was not to disclose about all this to my parents. But I just couldn’t speak.
Sanskar walked out of the room, Saying nothing. I didn’t move even a bit. I was lost with all my thoughts and worries. I was picturising the sequence that might be going on downstair . By now he might have revealed every details to my parents and his parents. How would they be reacting. My dad would rush upstairs as soon as they leave and start shouting at me, Maybe mummy would stop my Dad from going further Angry. Oh I was so scared of imagining all of these and was just waiting for the day to pass as soon as possible.
