"Ujaan, you should not feel bad for something you haven't done... it was never your fault.." she smiled... "Sri..." I gasped.. "don't over think..." she left leaving me stupefied...

What did she say??? No what?? How could she even guess it? Gross...!! this is so bad.. Does she do this intentionally?? To make me feel guilty?? Or is it she really doesn't give a damn..!! Fuck...!!! this girl will surely drive me insane some day..

Entering our camp, I found Sambit grinning to ear to ear, lying on my bed.. what now? "would you care to move your ass?" I barked at him.. But seemed to have been in his own world.. "oouchh.." his wince made me smile.. yeah exactly.. I kicked him off, and now Mr. Smylie smile was back to this world...

"100 ways to propose a old friend"... I jumped up... ha ha ha... Sambit laughed like the giant.. how dare he touch me laptop..!! but I could do nothing other than growling... "if you are kinda serious.. I can help you fucker.." I heard his voice.. and almost the very next second I was at his feet.. messaging his calves.. I am a opportunist ass you see.. if he could help me, I could do this him.. but he gawked at me..

"So much for a girl.. haan??" he taunted.. ya so... "will you really help me...??" I flashed my wonderful smile... but the idiot stretched his leg... "there.." he pointed me towards his toe.. what a jerk... I murmured... "I heard that.. anyways Uji.. a jerk is always better than a pervert..." he was actually laughing at me.. at my condition.. "last when I fell from the 1st floor.. and broke my leg.. I don't remember you passing me the meds even.. and now you are at my feet, messaging them, so that I help you out in proposing her???" he chuckled.. "Sambit this is not funny dude... I really need your help.. here you are closest to her..." I muttered...

"oh.. really..?? Plan changed... I won't help you.." He jerked off.. bloody fucker..!!

"and why won't you help me??" I reasoned...

"cause you are just guilty.. and you don't bloody love her.." he yelled... and the reality struck me.. yes.. that's... that's true.. may be... but I can always love her after marriage.. well... ninety percent of the marriages have begun like this.. so what's new..???

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"dadabhai..have you spoke to her..???" Uju.. as in my sister Ujjaini chirped.. I could sense her excitement even from the other side of the phone... "no baby.. am still trying.." "trying for more than 15 days?? Ugghh... you are so dumb in the matter of girls bro..." I choked at her words.. me and dumb in matter of girls!!! This could be joke of the century..!! but somewhere, it did hurt.. my baby sister trusted me to death... she didn't have the slightest hint about what her brother does... well.. I guess if she had known, she would call me her brother even..!!! "yes Uju.. you know.. your big bro is a big zero about girls.." I faked a laugh... only to hear that giggle... "no worries big bro.. I will talk to her.. you know.. I am very sweet.. and she can never say me know.." I smiled at her confidence...

I was strolling casually over the lawn after dinner, when I saw Sri coming towards me.. I immediately straightened my frame.. why is she coming to me?? Well... whatever she needed she always asked Sambit...so?? is there anything in particular, that I could do, and not he??? I couldn't help but smile, seeing her twinkling eyes...

"Hi.. Uji..." she smiled... "Hello Sri.." I smiled.. this was just so awkward!! "umm.. I came to inform you that.." she paused, looking here and there.. "What is it Sri??" I held her forearms... "umm...I was using your mail ID to forward myself a few lists..I didn't have then.." she was stammering... oh.. that was fine.. infact, I myself gave her my password today afternoon, for retrieving all those pending files, that I have been working on in her absence.. but what is there to inform... "chill Sri.. its fine.."

"No.. Uji.. Its not... umm.. actually, Tani, from the marketing dept, she mailed you.. and I by mistake had opened it.. I am sorry.. I did not intend to.." her meek voice thundered into my ear.. fuck..!!! Tani.. ughh.. I just hope she doesn't mail any personal stuff... I started praying... when Sri started again.. "umm... Tani said, her husband would be out of station again for a fortnight.. so you can join her.." my ears burned.. I did not know what to say.. I didn't even register Sri's twinkling eyes suddenly went blank... I stood there like a shameless pervert... and she went out of my sight..
