Its about one of those days when you like your brother's friend only to realize he's way too mature and already has someone by his side.
His voice breaks the silence of my room.. I look
back reluctantly and find him standing in the doorway looking at me
cautiously, suddenly I close the chat window on my laptop screen and look back
to find him but, he sits beside me in the meanwhile, giving me a hint that he's
here to stay for long to discuss something longer than the word itself..
Smriti, what are you doing ? Nothing... Just checking some mails...
I mean chatting too... You have so much time to waste, why can't you take your
tomorrow's interview seriously and use that internet to increase your knowledge
about the company. Bhaiya, i already know about it... Can’t read the same
things again and again, doing that vanishes my natural knowledge by default in
me... That, wasn't a joke enough for him to smile.. reading his stern look, i
reach to one of the search engines. But, God is rarely great on me, he was in a
mood to discuss tomorrow's programme. So, I asked... "How will we go
tomorrow?" Of course, I’ll take you, but I have to meet one of my friend
who's here from Bangalore
I kept quiet, not wanting him to cancel his schedule because of
me, but, before, I could say anything... he yaps, Kanu can't we take him along
with us, because he also wants to roam around in Delhi as he hasn't seen much
of the city and Gurgaon is a nice place with many malls and good eating joints,
we will leave him there till the time we get free from your interview and then
can pick him on our way back.. What say ? (To whom it appears a common phrase,
you must be informed that its my brother's pet phrase, after completion of
every thoughtful sentence, he asks for opinion from others with the help of
this and only this phrase).. This, phrase of his makes me think every time,
even if I don't want to..
So, I declare with a hmm... Ok... I don't have much problem...
MUCH.. He yaps.. I mean... I wouldn't mind sharing my car, my songs, and my
talks while on way... It means yes... Ok I’ll inform him... Fine, so, I see you
tomorrow at 10 am, as we have to reach the place by 11 am.. And, he leaves...
But, my mind is on work wondering who this friend can be.. Realizing that I
forgot to ask the name of the stranger with whom I gave the consent to share my
songs... my wasteful talks... I shout! Bhaiyya!! He was just stepping out of
the room, comes back and says he's... Obviously my 'friend' you know..
Now, good night...
I'm smiling.. Yes I am.. Why... Gosh! I am even smiling, while
writing this... Can't he accompany us from this very minute to the end...? Tomorrow
seems to be so far... I saw him last when he came to visit us with bhai... When,
I saw him for the first time and said, gosh! He’s so sexy... I mean good
looking… Though a little short, so what, I have always liked salman khan
alikes, and getting him was a better way to reach your reel crush in real
life...
My alarm wakes me up at 8:30 am. It would have been 9:30 am, if he
wouldn't have been accompanying us.
Reaching to the bathroom, I could see my face glitter, hiding that
was impossible... But, as someone said, nothing is impossible, So, here I say,
that flowery looking face came down to kareena kapoor's size- zero, when my
bro, shouted from back, "All set for interview kid" !!
I decided to run through some company profile pages to act
busy while on our way... We had to pick him from the Rajiv Chowk's metro
station. I was clouding high to catch a glimpse of his. Bhai, stopped the car,
we moved out and I rubbed my eyes a little as I saw not one but two people..
And, that made me rub a little more as the other one was a girl. He looked at
me, smiled a little as I said hi.. We sat in the car to start our crowded
journey (I wish the crowd was on road rather than sitting next to me).
They
appeared friends, but, then you never know as no one comes with a relationship
tag... I decided not to spoil my priced interview because of this... I start to
read when suddenly he says "Guys talk, my girlfriend's getting bored,
winking at her"... That pierced my ears leaving me stoned for a second... I
looked back where that girl was sitting trying to give her a proper look this
time and find what's better in her or in short, is she better than me... She
smiles at me and says 'Hi'... Of course, I replied, that too with a smile but
couldn't catch her eyes and pretended to look outside and turned in front again
to act busy and drench myself in the pool of that 'I-better-crack-this-interview'
state.
Thanks! for getting yourself involved in one of my funny situation. (atleast now when I look back) :)
