Arjun

Kedar was proposing Nandana. She said yes to him. I got bewildered with her answer. What happens to Surya if he came to know about this. I felt so sad.

I want to convey this to him and made him strong before he know about this news through others. He may get agonised and I don't want to see him like that.

   I returned to party and called Surya. He was drunk and now was not in a state to understand what I'm saying. I dragged him to room and made him to sleep. I decided to tell him about this issue in the morning.

Morning

I am waiting for Surya to wakeup. My phone rang and I lift the call with so much excitement because it was Anu's call. She said she was not attending the camp today. My mood was spoiled. This phone call made Surya wakeup. I cleared my throat, he looked at me.

I said, "Surya, I want to tell you one thing. Dont get hurt okay."

He sighed me in approval.

"Your girlfriend I mean Nishi is in love with someone, you also know him. Yesterday night, I came to know about it. Be strong because we can love anyone, but we can't force them to love us. Its their choice. Are you getting it?"

He was in tears. I hugged him and tried to console him. I called Kittu to come to our room. I left them alone because I can't bear seeing him in this state. But I want him to know the truth.

   I was so depressed with this encounter. I want some piece of mind so I went to a park in village outskirts. Actually it was not a park but a large garden owned by the village head. I was roaming there and I saw Anu. She was sitting by leaning on trunk of tree and hearing songs with head phones and writing something in a book, may be a dairy. My heart felt light on seeing her. I don't know why she hadn't attended the camp and came here. May be she too wanted peace of mind. So, I don't want to disturb her and I sat there starting at her. After some time, while changing her seating position, accidentally she saw me. She looked surprised.

She came to me and asked, "What's the matter, why are you here?"

I don't want to tell her about the incident because she already conveyed me that she didn't like discussing about others. So, I wanted to skip that. Instead I said,

"To see this beauty".

She looked at me with wide eyes and I immediately covered it,

"To see this beautiful place, this beautiful garden."

I was inborn talented in covering like this. I know she must have known that I said it about her. But she doesn't responded angrily instead smiled lightly.

She said, "I am also expecting you to see this beauty. I mean this beautiful place, this beautiful garden. People rarely do that."

I was stunned with her reply.

She laughed and said,

"I too know how to flirt." 

It's a positive response from her. She was happily saying something.

My feelings towards her are increasing. Her every deed was becoming my favorite. I am enjoying to be with her. I forget the whole thing I'm worried about, when I am with her. I want to tell her about my feelings because if I made it late, things may change like Surya's situation. I know she doesn't believe in love, I want to change her opinion with my love. But, before that I want to tell it to Surya because I will let him know my every decision and I want him to be the first one to know about my love. I excused myself from her and called Surya.

He went to movie to change his mind and now he was in canteen.

I told him, "Surya, I love Anu. I think she too loves me. Now, I am proposing her. I want you to be the first person to know about my love. So I called you. What will you say?"

He was silent for sometime and said, "You are my hero Ajju and you are always right. I wish your love will succeed."  After bidding bye, I disconnected the call.

I went to her. I am all nervous. I don't know how to propose to a girl. It was my very first experience.

I said, "I want to tell you something."

She looked at me and nodded to continue. I was statered, and whatever happens I want to tell her this and closed my eyes and said, "I love you, Anu. I want to share my whole life with you" and I opened my eyes.

Her face was blank. I am getting tense and I asked her to tell something.

She asked me, "Is it known to Surya?"

I said, "Yes"

She asked me, "Where is Surya?"

I replied, "He is in canteen."

She was running leaving me, her books and bag.

I asked her, "Hey! What happened?"

She ignored my question and went away. I collected her things and I found so many letters with the name of Nishi. I wondered why the hell Anu had these letters and why is she running away from me again.

I followed her. We reached canteen, she searched for Surya. He is sitting in a corner with Kittu. She went to him and slapped him in anger.

She said,"How can you do this to me Surya? You may forget, but I can't."

Are you surprised with her behavior? Or have you already guessed it?
