Hi Friends
Welcome to the next part of the story This story is about two persons Gautham and Harini. This story is narrated by the character Harini. Lest go to the story.

The thing which I don’t like is even if he did any mistake, he never apologizes for it. I advised him to give up his smoking habit but he never listened to my words. If we fought with each other, its me, who will talk first. But still, in his absence I felt my life empty. In class hours also we started to msg. We used to talk with each other the whole night and would sleep in class. If he was talking to me, most of the time I would see him than listening to his words. Slowly he was filling my life. I stored his number as sweetheart.

During lunch, I was waiting to say one important thing to him, at last he came and sat near me, I shared my lunch with him.

‘You said you want to say something’ He asked.

‘Hmmm, do you know Sanjay?’

‘Yeah. I know. Your class only, right?’

‘Yes, what do you think about him?’

‘Huh, he is a nice guy, studious. Hey Harini , I don’t know more about him, Why asking about him now?’

‘He proposed me yesterday night!!’ I said in low voice.

I couldn’t see his sharp eyes. ’When?’

‘Yesterday night, after my dinner he called me and told everything’.

‘Then, why you didn’t say to me about this last night, we were talking till 3, right?’

‘I thought of saying to you in person. What should I say to him?’

He became so angry. For the first time, I saw him like that but he somehow managed to control and told, ’So you didn’t say anything to him till now. See if you like him say yes. I am going to class .Its already late, eat soon and come with me.’

‘You tell me what should I do, then I will eat’ I said fixing my sight some where else.

He stared at me for some time and moved the lunch box near me,’ Say no to him, even if you like him and don’t talk with him.’

I couldn’t control my smile, He looks so good if he get angry. That weekend his birthday, I bought white color full sleeves shirt for him. I like boys, if they wear white color shirt with light blue jeans and I wanted to see him in that. I asked him to spend that whole day with me.

On his birthday….. In morning itself I gave the gift, he wore it and came with me. He was looking good day by day to my eyes. Actually that is our first date. We went to temple then had lunch together and saw movie. Evening we went to beach and played there. We sat in seashore. He was sitting near me, I felt something strange inside me, I wanted to lay on his shoulder. I could feel his warmth by sitting near him itself. I wanted to be in that for my entire life. I was dreaming on and on.

‘Harini’

‘Hey Harini?’

‘ What happened to you? Are you alright?’

I came to the world and answered him.

‘ Yeah, I am alright’

‘Its late, shall we make a move?’

‘Ok, I will get auto from here, You go to hostel’ I said and started to walk. He came silently behind me. When I was about to get an auto,’ Harini, can I come with you till your home?’He asked with his lovely eyes. How can I say no to him! We got bus from there. After some time I got place to sit and one place near me was empty. He was standing as usual but often he was seeing me, in next stop one boy got in to bus and sat near me.

‘Excuse me’ Gautham patted that guy on shoulder and asked ’ Can you please sit here , I want to talk with her’. That boy got up and sat in another seat. Finally, he sat near me.

He told me to get down in previous stop, from there we walked together, the road was empty, dark and wet. We didn’t talk but our silence was talking with each other. “Will he think wrong if I hold his hand? Or if I walk closely with him? Why now a days he is looking good to my eyes? “ the thoughts were flooding into my mind. I was praying to god that the road shouldn’t end but before my prayer got over, we came near my home and we stopped. I had no heart to bid him bye and was standing there saying nothing. He too didn’t say anything .I don’t know for how much time we were like that. Then he started to walk away from me without any words. I saw him walking and I was sure about one thing that we are no more friends.

We got holidays for four days and he went to his native. Our class boys organized mini trip to mahabalipuarm , Small tourist place near Chennai. We planned to go on Sunday. Saturday night I called Gautham to say about this.

He picked the phone with in two rings and said ‘Hello’.

‘Hello, what are you doing there?’

‘Just now had dinner with my parents, now in terrace, Did you have your dinner?’

‘No, after some time, Hey we planned to go to mahabalipuram’

‘Oh that’s good, But come to home soon and keep messaging me’

‘hmmm sure, You know what, My whole class is going together for the first time’

‘Class? You are not going with your friends?’

‘No, My class boys are also coming.’

‘Who put this plan? Why suddenly?’

‘Sanjay only put this plan, Next year we will busy with our project work, right?’

‘ No need to go Harini, I asked you to stop talking with Sanjay, but you are still talking with him.’

‘I am not talking, he asked all girls to come, not only me, Gautham he forgot everything. Need not worry!’

‘Did he say that he is thinking you as sister? What the hell you are doing? Can’t you stay in home for one weekend also’ He shouted like anything.

‘Why you are talking like this Gautham, My intention is not to roam around, Whole class is going, you want me to stay in home? If your class going will you be like this?’

‘I don’t like you going there, then its your wish.’

‘I am not going, Ok, I am not in the mood to talk now, bye’ I cut the phone. But he keep on calling me, I Switched off my cell and slept.

‘Harini’ some familiar voice called me, I got up ,it was Gita. ’I am calling you from yesterday night, why your mobile is in switch off.’

‘No charge’

‘Ok get ready soon, Gautham called me yesterday, He also coming with us’

‘Gautham? But he is in his native. Yesterday night only I spoke with him’

‘I don’t know , He said like that only, you call him and ask’ She said and went to hall to talk with my mom. I called him immediately. He picked the phone, ’Why you are calling now?’ He asked.

‘I am not going, right? Then why you are coming here? Are you doubting me?’

‘Why you are talking like this? You said you guys going for first time, I don’t want to spoil that and I don’t like you going with him so only I am coming, don’t worry I wont be with you, you enjoy, I will be with Karthick’s gang’

‘When did you get in to the bus?’

‘I tried to call you for a long time, but you didn’t attend, so after two hours I said to my parents that Rohan met with an accident and I am going to meet him’ He told. I got convinced. Then we went to trip, most of the time, we were looking at each other.

Our college orgainised national level conference, all colleges participated. I was assigned to registration work and I was wearing maroon color saree. I was waiting for Gautham to see me. In this 20 years, I have never thought that I should look beautiful for someone’s eyes, but for the first time I wish that I should look beautiful to him. My eyes were searching for him, I was keep on messaging him like where he is? And What he is doing? But no reply from him, I got angry and stopped to msg him.

After some time he came and stood near me but he didn’t talk with me. He kept on walking around my place. He was continuously seeing me. I tried to not see him. Then he came near me,’ Hi, Now only I saw the msgs’. I didn’t reply to him. I was maintaining silence. ‘Why you are not talking with me’, ‘ Listen to me’. He was keep on talking but I didn’t talk single word also. I like when he begs me because it wont occur often. Then he sat opposite to me and started to text me,

‘Cant you talk with me?

‘Don’t do too much’

‘ Really I saw now only, I was busy with my work, reply me ’

‘Don’t make me angry’

‘ Hey, You wont see me also? ’

‘Come and sit with me’

‘I will do anything for you, Ok? Now reply to my msgs’. Now I got my chance to reply. I texted him back. He smiled and opened my msg ‘Will do anything??’I asked and he replied back .

‘Yeah…off course!’

‘This weekend we are going to animation movie’ I texted back. I like animation movies a lot but He doesn’t, always will see action films.

‘Hmmm ok’

‘Then stop smoking and drinking also.’

‘Hmmm I will try.’

‘Just say yes or no.’

‘ I will surely try to quit’. Its hard only to stop it suddenly ,so I didn’t compel him more on that. I was convinced and smiled at him. After that he went to continue his work, I too got busy with mine.

At one point only I noticed my hand, my gold bracelet was missing.I realised when I went to restroom, to wash my hand I removed my bracelet there but I couldn’t remember whether I put it in my hand or not.So I rushed there and asked all the workers. My friends were also searching everywhere. But no clue about that.I started to cry, all my friends were consoling me, he too came there but I was crying only. I couldn’t bear the loss because its my dad’s gift for my birthday. I love that bracelet.He was standing near me without saying anything.

Function was over, then I went to hostel to refresh, my friends were consoling me, ‘Harini, Gautham is on line’, Gita gave her mobile to me.

‘Hmmm say’ I answered him.

‘Are you going to stay there?’

‘No, I have to go to home.’

‘Then you start now, its already 7, when you are planning to reach your home?’He shouted.

‘Please Gautham, already I am not in good mood, don’t make me to get angry.’

‘Ok , You come out, I will drop you’

‘I will go by myself’

‘I am waiting down, bye’ he cut the phone.I informed my friends and I left.He was standing near the hostel.I crossed him without even looking at him. He followed behind me.

‘Harini’ He called me when we were near to basket ball ground. I turned to see him.

‘Can you sit here for sometime’ He pointed to one bench and said. I sat with him.

‘This is the first time I am seeing you crying like this, you will get it back soon’ I nodded my head and started to cry again. He saw me and held my hands for the first time. I leaned over his shoulder. I felt like this was the moment I was longing for. My tears made his shirt wet. We were like that for long time then he broke our silence. ’What I have to do to make my Harini to smile?’ He laid his head on my head and said. I didn’t utter a word. ‘Don’t cry for anything, I will give more than what you wanted’ I laughed and asked ’In which movie you got this dialogue? ’

‘Hey this is my original dialogue, I Prepared for you’ He said in lovely voice then, he took my hand and put one silver bracelet.

‘Do you like it?’ He asked me holding my hands

‘What is this Gautham, Why you bought this?’

‘I cant replace it, but for time being have it, after I get my first salary I will buy and give the same bracelet’ I was speechless, I felt like hugging him. He was holding my hand tightly and he said ‘You looked so beautiful today’. First compliment from him, In shyness I hid my face on his shoulder.

Why should I cry for something, when I have everything in my hand.
