There are times, we face such hilarious moments that without sharing it with someone, we just don't feel like letting them go! There are certain people who serve their best in listening to our such usual yet a bit different story and give their genuine suggestions. And, yes I prove to be the best one if you consider telling me your story ;)
So, this situation casts down on the roads of Kurla station, Mumbai in the month of July. Ahh! you can feel the heavy rain showering upon you, so can I. That was a day soaked in rain, with not a bit of space without drains soaking your feet...and this friend of mine (you can take her as the lead of this story) was on her way back to our flat from office. So that it was raining so heavily, and with not a single mode of transport; she had to adjust (actually the other two people had to adjust) in a single auto.
The other lady dropped out somewhere while this friend of mine was having her sweet time sharing the seat with a guy. That guy suddenly asked her where she had to get down and then after exchange of bits of their basic information; they realised that their destination was soon to arrive- the local Kurla station. By now, they came to know quite many things about each other. She stepped up the stairs at the platform, while he stood downstairs. An ultimate bollywood scene is flashing through your mind...isn't it? I know, even I and another of my roomie too had the same imagination!
Now, she was in a hurry to reach the platform when suddenly she had to turn back to see or basically enquire if he stood there staring at her, and there he was! His eyes met hers and there he came suddenly to her asking for her number, saying that may be next time they might meet again. He also said that it was really nice talking to her and that he really liked her friendly approach (Oh! here we were laughing aloud expecting some exchange of hugs and....;)
So she did it.....what???? Oh God! She did that stupidity of giving him her contact no. and then she came happily without even asking for his. The next day she got a lovely message from his side, which was just an informal way of hello or hi. She replied, then he and then they had their share of conversation through messaging. She was fine with it until one day the expected happened and yes he asked to meet her on a weekend. First, she showed her etiquettes but later accepted the proposal, but with conditions applied, obviously :)
He lived in Mansarovar, very close to Kharghar, Navi Mumbai, where we lived. And Madame's condition was that she wanted him to come down to Kharghar. So, here begins my actual role of giving genuine suggestions. I asked her to take him to the nearest mall in Kharghar, so that we may also come in some time and meet him. She got ready, waiting for his call, when suddenly he asked her to meet at the station. He had some plans. They met, he took her to his loved place, Ghatkopar and had her meet his friend. So what, they had lunch together, roamed around in the mall, came back in bus and that was the actual moment of realisation..actually botheration or say embarrassment when they had to sit together on a seat and you know how it goes about in public transport buses.
Then her thoughts on what type of guy he is and all those descriptions which I and my roomie had to listen with patience, would not be elaborated here. Then what, they turned out to be cool friends texting each other about the bits of the day's activities. I had then warned her that she would soon be falling for him, but she said it on a serious note that she won't. A month passed, came another.. ..it was around three months of their sacred friendship which had to take a turn.
Suddenly, during their conversation on phone, he asked her why she didn't get into a relationship till now, is it that she dislikes guys?And that was not just a question but a serious interrogation on someone's being (My Niftians friends can understand what I mean). She was pissed off and asked him not to call again. Then she came describing about what happened and then eating our heads for another two to three hours about ''What do you think, why did he ask such a question''?
We now came with our own interpretations:
1) He has fallen for you, so just wants to be sure from his side if you love or like someone.
2) He might be thinking of you as a Lesbian who has no interest in guys.
3) He might want to propose you and so before that just wants to know if your disbelief in love has faded or not.
and all that we could manipulate at that time to convince her.
Days passed with no communication amongst them and suddenly he calls.
He: So, it was a long time, I was busy a bit helping my father with his work.
She: Ya, even I had a hectic month with loads to do in office.
He: So, how have you been?
She: Good, and you?
He: Ya,fine.
She:What else? You seem so quite. Any problem?
He:Nothing, just wanted to say something.
She:What?????Then say na...!!
He: I like you as a girl, we had been really good in terms of friendship, but what next?
She: What next what???
He: I mean do you want to take this friendship forward to another edge?
She:Sorry, I didn't get you (but, actually she did and was scared like hell....ooh gals and their dramas)!!
He: How about giving our friendship a new definition, I want to be with you always....
She:I just take you as a friend, nothing else. I don't have any feelings for you (Poor guy!!) Let's not talk anymore.
Phone disconnected.
The guy must be sad and angry at himself....thinking why the hell did he propose her...now the friendship too has gone :(
She takes it very lightly, saying that though he was a good guy, friendship types, but I didn't have any feelings for him.
And I scold her and say that she would never be able to make a boyfriend, suits well for an arrange marriage.
It's going to be a year now and the rains are back in Mumbai. There will evolve other such stories of romance and I feel sorry for those hearts which are soon going to be broken.
Lesson: Never take a girl too seriously.
Treat her like a friend, don't propose her, else you are gone.
Treat a guy like a friend, but don't nurture love for him.
Don't believe in Bollywood romance happening in rain..they are mere fictional.
