“Aa…aa”, he cleared his throat.
She sat there staring at him as if she is not going to see him ever again in her life. Yes…it may be possible depending on his decision this evening. She chose to meet him at this particular canteen since it was the place where first time she saw him, the first time she liked him, the first time she recognized her feelings for him and she wanted it to be the last if it so happens. She chose this particular time in the evening, not that something turned out first in the past at this time, but it will be empty at this time.
“Akshara it has been 15 minutes since I sat here idle…what do you want to talk about?”
“Wait Varun, I’m figuring how to start…give me few more minutes please”
“You got to be kidding me…”
“Please…”
“Ok…take your time…”
Akshara started to think fast sewing together the carefully selected words out of those that are swirling around in her mind to get a beautiful blanket of sentences convincing enough to get what she wanted. She suddenly straightened his pose.
“Yes…I’m ready”
“Go frigging on then…I’m getting bored here…”
“You know me and you…are good friends…best friends…close friends…”
“Congratulations for your discovery…Is this you wanted to tell?”
“Please don’t interrupt me…I’m serious…”
“Ok…please continue…”
“We know each other well…I know many of your personal secrets and you mine…”
“Hu…hm…”
“You are important to me…you are special to me…”
“Yes…I agree with you…You too are important to me”
“You and I have a lot in common…We both are of same personality”
“Yep…”
“You and I like green…We both prefer coffee over tea…We both die for paani puri…”
“What is this…? Some kind of SWOT analysis of you and me?”
“Please listen to me…will you?”
“Sorry…continue”
“So what I’m saying is we have a lot in common. Why can’t we take this relationship to another level?”
“What? Come again”
“Why can’t we be more than friends?”
Varun was thinking. She was eagerly waiting for his answer.
“You mean like ‘Friends with benefits’”
“Dumbass…don’t even think about that…”
“Sorry….Just kidding…What is your point…”
“How can explain it to you damn it…you are such a…”
“Come on…this is the problem with you girls…you want everything to be guessed correctly…”
“Ok…since you are harebrained duschebag…I’ll say it straight…I love you Varun…I love you…I’ve some kind of feeling since the first time I saw you…I couldn’t make out what it is until recently. I’ve symptoms of a person who has fallen in love…for example…being possessive…dreaming about you…wanting to be in your company all the time…trying to get your attention…doing things that will impress you…etc…”
“Wow…where does all this coming from…you love me?? Really??”
A thin layer of tears filled the eyes of Akshara at this comment of Varun and beautiful blanket of words sewn in her mind is now tearing into pieces.
“Do I need to produce evidence and a witness to prove it you?”
“I didn’t mean like that. I was just saying that I’ve never thought that you would love me…You are more like a…like you just said close slash best friend to me…”
“Yes I thought the same until recently when I realised that it is not friendship, it is something more. Please understand me Varun…I’ll never cause inconvenience to you…You know that I’m not filmy type and I don’t have a thing for ornaments and designer dresses and all. I’ll be the best life partner you could ever imagine.”
“Ya Akshara, I know well about you. You need not remind me all these things. You are the best wife a guy can ever think of…but…I don’t see you that way…if I had given any wrong impressions of that kind I’m awfully sorry…”
“Varun, how can make you understand…ok if you don’t love me now it may happen in future…tell me your requirements…or the changes you want in me…I’ll mould according to your wish…let me try…Take your time…”
“This is ridiculous Akshara…I’ve already told you…you are perfect not with a single flaw…you are gentle…kind hearted…caring…simple…honest…above all beautiful…both from inside and outside…you need change for me…”
“Then please marry me…” tears started rolling from her eyes. Even with teary eyes she is so beautiful. Why are you messing things up between us dear? thought Varun.
“Don’t cry Akshara…I can’t see you crying…”
“See this is it…this is love…you are afraid to see it…to accept it…may be something is bothering you…tell me what it is…I’ll solve it…Do you like any other girl or something or any family problem?”
“Oh god Akashara…how I can explain it to you…This is nothing to do with what you have said. If I had loved any girl, I would have told you first.”
“Then, it is about the cast we belong, isn’t it? You are non-Brahmin and I being a Brahmin”
“This is not about cast…I wouldn’t have made you friend if I had looked into our castes’ match. People belonging to different religion itself are leading a successful marital life.”
“Then what is the problem Varun…ppplease tttell mmme…” Akshara is now sobbing.
“I want to tell you one thing Akshara. Love cannot be forced. It has to be felt naturally. I don’t feel like that about you. Nor do I say that you are a sister to me. You are a best friend to me…the person whom I can rely upon…the person with whom I can share my sorrows when the whole world turns deaf to listen to me…you are a special person to me Akshara…Please don’t spoil our precious relationship dear.”
“Ok…ok…We can do one thing…we’ll get married for one year…if you don’t feel the way I felt for you…you can leave me…I’ll not stop you from giving me divorce…is it ok?”
“Are you mad? This is going nowhere. I’ve to leave. Just think by placing yourself in my shoes and we’ll talk again later.” Varun stood up to leave.
“I’ve thought a lot before asking you to meet me. Now or never. Say something yes or no.” asked Akshara wiping her tears.
“If that is what you want…I’m utterly sorry to say this…my answer is No. But this isn’t going to change anything. You will be my best friend. I’ll be always there for you whenever you need me…anytime…I’m once again sorry for putting you in this situation…hope you understand.”
This is going to change everything Varun. Akshara couldn’t control herself. Tears burst out violently from her beautiful eyes. She hid her face in her palms and was weeping heavily. Varun tried to console, but taken aback to let her pour the grief out in her tears. He stood there. He couldn’t see her weeping like this, not because of him. He left the canteen and reached his bike. He stood there for few more minutes in case she becomes alright so that he can drop her at ladies hostel. Minutes passed by, she is still weeping. Unable to do anything, he called Veena, her roommate and asked to come over there and take her to room safely and left for his room.
THE PROPOSAL(RAVIKIRAN)
