My phone was beeping I thought it’s
already 6, with my sleepy eyes I moved towards my desk and picked my phone to
set it to snooze but it wasn’t my alarm. It was a message from Sanskar
“Next time I won’t be in any hurry.”
And with out even checking the time I replied
“OK” and within no time I got another reply
“Don’t you sleep??”
Which made me check my wall clock it
was very dark, patting my forehead I though
stupid you are holding mobile in your hand then I checked the time in my
mobile it was 2:00 AM, I wasn’t able to believe- it’s only 2, so I switched on
my light and checked again my clock the time was same, I guessed half of my
mind was still in sleeping mode, So I switched off the lights and lied back
thinking I have still 4 hours to sleep. Then my phone beeped, it was him again.
I knew it before lifting the phone
Sanskar :I won’t be available, for a
few weeks!
and I enquired texting “Why?” and soon my
phone rang I lifted before the first ring could complete my heart started
beating faster, I dint knew whether I was worried of talking to him at this
late night or it was something else.
“Hello” I said
And he giggled asking “you don’t
sleep?”
“I was sleeping, it was your call
which disturbed my sleep” I answered
“I see, I thought you were awake as
you were responding to my text, Plus I don’t like texting much I prefer a two
way conversation” he said and continued “Can we talk or you want to sleep?”
“Why aren’t you asleep ?” I asked
with out answering his question.
He giggled again “So that means we
can talk, I am not asleep because, I am waiting for my flight at the Delhi terminal,
I am leaving to Singapore”
And then a very long conversation
begun………
Me :You are in Delhi ?
He : Yes Madam
ME when did you leave to Delhi?
He : at around 8 in the evening,
why..
Me : nothing I dint knew you were
travelling
He (started laughing )
Me: why are you laughing?
He : How will you be knowing that I
am travelling If I don’t tell you.
Me : exactly you dint tell me
He: was I supposed to? (Again
laughters)
I became calm, no idea why!
He : hey, what .. what happened are
you there or the line is gone?
Me : HMMM…
He: let’s just talk …see I have a
project and a seminar to attend I’ll be back probably after 3 weeks and I was
not sure that aaa…
Me : carry on..
He : can we talk something else, I
am sure you are not interested in my trip.
Me: Ohooo and how you know what I am interested in?
He : Dint I tell you I researched
you before meeting you .. hmmm?
Me : Yes you did..So now what?
There was a pause I could only hear
his breathing…
He : You were looking very pretty
today Shreya .. I wished to tell you the same as soon as I saw you but I guess
I dint had the courage.
Me: OK…. you too were looking … not
bad (I smiled to myself biting my lips)
He : So you said you want to meet
again .
Me : Yes I did.
He: Why
Me : I (I took a while framing my
answer) … I want to discuss something, there is something I feel you should be
knowing about.
He : You can tell now
Me : I can’t keep talking all night,
plus you have a flight to board
He : Can I call you again.
Me : Not in the night please..
And he laughed again, this time I
joined him.Then he Said
He: I meant when I reach Singapore
at day time..
Me: I am keeping busy these days if
possible call me in evening ..
He: OK, work load and all ?
Me : Yupp you can say that, But you
can call.
He : Hmm……. I’ll text you before
calling then, OK ?
Me : Yes !
He : Fine then I’ll take your leave,
it was nice talking.
Me : why are you sounding so formal
all of a sudden.
He : Well I never spoke to a girl
this long on phone I was not able to find suitable line to say bye.
Me: when is your flight
He : mmm more 45 mins to go.
Me: why are you saying bye then.
He : Because I want you to sleep as you
have to work tomorrow.
Me: ok Bye
He : bye
Neither did he turned off the call
nor did I…. it was again a silence of 33 secs
He: mmm shreya
Me: Yes
He : Just Sleep I don’t know why we
are just going on from past one hour
Me : (started giggling) You will
meet me after you are back from Singapore right
He : Of course , You have something
to discuss you said , so definitely.
Me : I’ll pay next time.
He : haha sure…
Me : So how did you understand that
the caller was me, how did you figured it out?
He : Ask me anything else I would
answer apart from this one.
Me: OK, What did you tell your
family after you visited our place?
He : Wohoooo, you had questionnaire
ready !!!
You know I dint knew you are so
Sharp and Smart at the same time.
Me: I don’t feel the same way, any
way I am waiting for my answer.
He : Why you want to know?
Me : You shouldn’t be giving another
question for one question asked.
He : Well I learnt that from you .
Me : I see..
He : Well…. I felt you are not
willing for the proposal and you may talk to parents about your boyfriend, so
..
Me : You told your parents that I
have a boyfriend.
He: let me complete…I told them that
am not ready, ahhh and I need time to think about marriage now.
Then
your dad called my dad and asked again, I said to answer that I am not
interested.
Me :Oh
He : yes that was OH and lot of
drama at my place.
Me: I am sorry for all that.
He: Shreya
Me : yes..
He : please sleep its 4: 30. Goodday
bye
And he cut
the call I couldn’t say bye to him.
