Now lets fast forward to a month after the hero and heroine had started going out with each other...it would make many thngs clearer if i mentioned now that our hero was the son of an M.P. (ruling party) and since he didnt want to live under his father's shadow, ran his own call centre in the city. So he was awake wen she wud have normally been sleeping and he slept thru the day wen not only her, but the entire city was awake. We have to note here that the hero gave away the above details only after a fite at the end of which the heroine threatened to leave him coz she still didnt know who she was in a relationship with. Whenever she had tried asking him about his father or background he always came out with something stupid like, "Do you love me or my father?". Exasperated, she'd leave him alone....but it kept nagging her.
So she finally came to know almost everythn about our hero...and their first month passed by without a hitch. She was starting to understand that her relationship was not like the normal ones....she couldnt expect him to take her to public places, where there was a higher possibility of him being spotted with her, than her being spotted. The consequences she knew would be dire...so their time together was mostly spent inside a car on their way to a long drive down that same ECR road...wer it had all begun...or she would, at times taking huge risks, sneak out of home at odd hours of the nite....so that they could again go for a ride....drink tea in some local tea shop...or in a star hotel...never any place intermediate...the risks were too high even at such hours.
She climbed gates, jumped walls, fences...fell down a couple o times, limped all the way to the car holding on to him...jus so that she cud pass the next few days, during wich there wud be very little or no contact with him, (thanks to his work schedule and business...) remembering their nite out...she wud lie awake all nite...waiting for the phone to ring...it seldom obliged and wen it did, it didnt last for long...her friends wondered wat had made her so patient...she was the last one they wud have expected to wait for anythn in life....least of all a guy...but there it was for every one to see....she sat forever waiting for his call....to confirm thier next outing....her life started revolving around these things...coz...the little time he spent with her, he made her feel like any other girl would envy her position...he treated her like a princess....and she felt like one around him...
More coming ur way...till then...blah...blah...blah...:)

The FIRST nite, the FIRST date and her FIRST proposal!!!!
As she approached that auto she walked past a few PCO booths and had to retrace her steps after deciding that she would call him right away and ask him to delete that photo he had taken with his mobile camera. Then she remembered tht she had stored the number in her friend's fone and was surprised wen it immediately came to her mind with very little effort on her part. Finding it strange(she was very bad at remembering numbers, birthdays anniversaries etc...but this was the first of the very many changes that will happen within her) She went into one of the booths and dialed his number...identified herself as the "girl who u jus met". And he said, "Well im in a meeting now..ill get back to u" and the line went dead!!!! Wonderin how he planned to "get back" to her she made her way back home.
After sometime Miss.Goody called and further tried to scared her with amount of crap he could do with their photograph....but to her it all looked...well a bit too far fetched..Well, "wat cud he do with a picture that was taken while in motion? It wouldnt have come out very clear!!" she tried reasoning with her, but all Miss.Goody wanted was for her to call him and get him to delete the pic. So she decided to play a small game with Mr.Arrogant...though she had his number, she hadn't given away hers and so she sent him a simple sms saying "Hi!!". She was disappointed wen there was no reply even after 3 hours.
She had already gone to bed wen his call finally came...it was almost midnight and since she was sleeping with her parents, the heroine freaked wen a call came that late into the night...she wasnt used to receiving calls at that hour and so to avoid any suspicion she ran into the bathroom and picked up the call without stopping to look who was calling. The first thing both of them said was "Who s this?"....some silence...then she beat him to it...and asked who he was and y he had chosen such an unearthly hour to call up!!! For which he responded, "Hello, if im not mistaken, i thnk u sent me a msg saying hi and now u wanna know who i am...are u in the habit of msging ppl u dnt really know? What is this? some kind of a game???!!!!!!". She by now had realised who it was and could have kicked herself for not seeing who was calling before she had picked up!!!! Then she again identified herself as the "girl u met this evening" and said that she was sorry...and that's how they started talkin...
The talked every nite for the next 4 days...sometimes they spoke all thru the nite(she was in 12th and had the readymade excuse "late nite studies") Then on the fifth day, she asked him, "how long are we gonna jus keep talkin on the fone??" and held her breath to see if she will have to kick herself once again for being the frst to ask. She was increasingly making a fool o herself in front of him. But he said(to her huge relief), "I hadn't yet figured out how to ask u out without sounding too eager...thanks u made everythng very simple!!!"
So they fixed up to meet the next day at around 4 in the evening....went out for a long drive down the city's famous East Coast Raod (ECR).
All through the drive, he was very quiet and that made her wonder if she was sitting with the same guy she had been talkin to all these days...and she mentally termed it as "another facet of his arrogance", but little did she know then that he was contemplating how to say what he wanted to say. He had grown, over the past few days, very fond of this strange girl, who though he had met on the road and till date didnt know anythn close to the truth about him or his background(he had jus told her that he was a muslim and that hadnt made any difference to her though she was a tamil brahmin), had settled in a very deep corner o his heart.
He didnt like the way he was reacting to her....he had been with so many other girls...girls who looked much better than this one sitting beside him...knew more about him...yet something in her eyes and voice held his attention like no one else's had...he felt uncomfortable with the way he was constantly stealing glances at her, while she rattled on (talkin for both o them!!!) unaware of his looks...she was like a 5 year old...unable to shut up...and that he found endearing instead of irritating...and he stopped being surprised around this girl....
They had driven right upto Pondicherry though she had animatedly tried to talk him out of the plan...and on the way back...he decided that it was now or never...he suddenly stopped the car and put his head onto the wheel and held himself still for a couple o minutes, quietly laughing as he sensed her growing anxiety and wen she touched him fianlly, it was a wary touch...(like she expected him to be dead or something!!!!)"Are u ok?", she asked him tentatively. He said that he was feeling dizzy out of all the fasting they muslims had to do during the month of Ramalaan. He asked her if she knew to drive and that's wen she totally started panicking!! She shook her head meaning she didnt know how to drive a car...and he decided to have some more fun with her...he said in his usual matter of fact tone, "then i guess we ll be spending the nite here in the car...i dnt thnk i shud be driving wen i feel dizzy...it may be dangerous u know???" And it was once agin time for her to give her famous reaction...."!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
She started freaking out in earnest now and all the while he was having so much fun watching her raving and ranting about how her parents will disown her if she stayed away for the nite with a guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then out of nowhere he produced a pack of cakes and started eating from it...after a few minutes he started driving...and she visibly relaxed...until he thrust the pack into her hand and ordered..yes ordered...her to feed him the cake (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Though she didnt wannna do it....she did it...she fed him the cake so that he ll drop her back home...she was now really scared that she had gone away without tellin anyone with a real time mental case...the mental(!!!) as telling her now to eat the other half o the cake he had jus had(!!!!!!!!!!) she did it....(she was really scared...do u accept it now??)
After some time he once again stopped the car...and this time in a side road tat didnt even have street lights....there was no one around...she was lookin around warily when he said IT..."Will u be like this with me forever...???" were his words but she was sure she must have heard him wrong....none of it made sense to her in her state of panic...but the way he was lookin at her expectantly she guessed she had heard rite after all. "How can I? I have to go home..." was all she cud get out of her mouth, though a 100 questions were swarming in her head!! It was now his turn to wonder if he had heard her right!!!!
He asked her once again for good measure...and all he got was a look of anger and fear at the same time. Thats wen he knew he had scared her too much...and that evoked in him a sudden sense of protectiveness...it made him want to comfort her and tell her that nothing was gonna happen(read: he wasn't goin to ditch her there or anythn!!!). He had always been bad at this comforting thing and he did it the only way he knew...he pulled her close and kissed her...and after a few seconds he drew back to see the look of stunned surprise on her face, and cut her protest by saying..."I meant wat i said...im askin u for the last time...will u be like this with me forever?" and after a few minutes that seemed to drag on forever, she said..."yes, i will", without even knowing why she said it...it felt like the most natural thing to do at that moment...
More to come...till then...blah....blah...blah...:)
After sometime Miss.Goody called and further tried to scared her with amount of crap he could do with their photograph....but to her it all looked...well a bit too far fetched..Well, "wat cud he do with a picture that was taken while in motion?

How they met....!!
Her friend refused to let her drive....she was running a high temperature and had jus had a tablet...usually she never took the backseat...and off they went towards home one cool evening in the month of October, 2 years back. The phone rang in her friend's bag and she picked up the call to tell whoever it was that they were driving. But it turned out to be a common friend who was calling. So she picked up...and was having a pretty normal conversation with the guy on the other end....having no idea that this phone conversation would turn her world top side down in a few days.
They were inching their way in the heavy evening traffic, and she was still on the phone, when a Skoda car(blue) pulled up beside their bike and her friend casually checked out its interiors while waiting for the vehicles in front o her to move...and then she turned red...ok not red!!! But she was hugely embarassed when she caught the gaze of one of the guys sitting inside the car...she knew immediately that he had been watching her checking out his car's interiors. She sensed he was gonna ask her something and like the goody two shoes she was, she immediately turned her head.
And our heroine, pretty oblivious to all that was happening in front o her turned to check out the car, herself, when she caught the two guys inside it pointing towards her friend and smirking. Experience had taught her that this meant trouble...and she was attracted to troube like how a glutton is to a king size burger!!! So she told her friend on the phone to hold on and mouthed the words "what?" at the guy sitting by the window near her, and all she got back in reply was a dismissive wave of the hand and eyes that didnt look at her! Did he dare!!! Furious with him, she vented out her anger to the friend on the phone, while they moved forward in the traffic.
They being on a bike, wound their way forward, and it took quite sometime for the Skoda to catch up once again with them, where they had stopped , thanks to the "sooper fast" traffic movement that day! She resolutely ignored all cars especially the ones named "Skoda", until a glass sliding down at the corner of her eye, caught her attention. He, the arrogant one(that's hw she had described him to the friend on the phone) leaned out and said in a very matter of fact tone, "Excuse me, can i have your mobile number plz?" And her initial reaction....well hers combined with those of the girl in front was:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After finally realising that she had something called a voice, she breathed out, "Forget it!" and he went, "How can i wen u haven't given it in the first place?"
Again a set of !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And they moved forward yet again with now the Skoda overtaking their bike. "Ok the arrogant one is not only arrogant,but mental also....BIGTIME", she whispered into the phone where the poor guy was waiting to be told wat (the hell) was happening!!!! If she whispered, our goody goody in front was now yellin over all the noise, "how can he jus ask something like that to a random girl he jus saw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????!!!!!!!". Ok thats quite understandable under the given circumstances:) And then came the time when our friend on phone dared the heroine to go get the mental's(new and better suited!!! name) mobile number, if she had guts!!!!!!
And....that was the undoing, for she had never gone down on a dare thrown to her!!! So she tells the unsuspecting Miss Goody to catch up with the Skoda, and she raised the speed thinking that her friend was gonna give back as good as she got, like so many other times in the past! Little was she prepared for the shock attack she got wen her friend, after they had finally caught up, asked him for HIS number!!!!! She still wonders how she didnt fall out o the bike and kill both of them!!! The nite s xcitement didnt end there....not yet!!! The guy called out his number which the heroine stored in Miss. Goody's fone(!!!) and now that, that was out of the way, the Skoda started following them around!!!!!!!!!!
Miss.Goody was majorly pissed of with the brat sitting behind her and was driving thru' roads she had never been to in an attempt to throw the Skoda of their tracks! And while she was concentrating to figure out where they were, the hero took a photograph of the two of them on the bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And left!!!!!!!!! That was the last straw for Miss.Goody!!!! She threw her friend out of her bike, (well not literally!!!) and drove away after threatening to never talk to her if she didnt get that photograph deleted from his phone. "I don't know or care wat u'll do but u will do it and that's that!!!!!!!!!!!" were here parting words. Wondering how such a mundane evening had turned out to be one of her most exciting ones in quite some time....the heroine walked towards the auto she saw at the end o that unknown road....
To be continued...till then blah...blah...blah...:)

Lemme say a Hi!!!!!!!!!!!! :)))
Today, the 24th of November is a special day...its d day that denotes...ok...no....denoted (once upon a time...) the end of another year of d relationship 2 people shared...2 very different people, who came together by d sheer force o fate! But today, it's jus any other day....after all, all the days were gettin pretty much identical in their monotony and their lack o life, for both of them. There are gonna be no prizes awarded for all o you who guessed it rite!! Yes...!! It's d story of a relationship so spontaneous and lovely....and how it all withered and fell into d drain called society.
For starters, the story is set in the city o Chennai, down south in India, and revolves around how, the hero and the heroine (am smart....am not naming them here!!!) meet each other on the road as strangers, go thru a whirlwind romance (that both ll never forget) and finally go back to being estranged strangers, victims of a society and cruel intentions all around them as well as between them...
In my next blog i shall officially begin the narration of a story that the people involved, wud rather forget about...till then...blah...blah...blah...:)
