LAST PART :)
After five years. Present Day. (They both are 23 now.)
This love was creating havocs in my daily routine. Her soft
brown skin would touch me whenever she shook hands or if I am lucky, hugged me
and that would send me into crazy thoughts. Her tinkling laughter was my
anti-stress medicine. She had become my habit and my craziness, and I knew this
was a habit I could not get rid of. I
knew it was high time I tell her. It was quite late rather. Moreover my
feelings were erupting at midnight. So I did what love-sick guys do. I climbed
the wall to her room at midnight, right when her parents were sleeping in the
room next to hers.
Khushi: What the hell are you doing her, Kush? Someone will
enter. Oh My God! Are you crazy? Get. Out. Right. Now.
Me: I want to tell you something.
Khushi: Can’t it wait till tomorrow. Its midnight an…
Me: I love you.
Khushi: and someone… What?!? Come Again.
Me: I love you. You are the most beautiful girl I’ll ever
meet. You are the only person with whom I talk to. I can’t go a day without
talking to you. You’re my habit and I want to wake besides you every day and
see your bright face before the sun. I love you.
Khushi: …
Me: Khushi, say something damn it! I am sorry. I am really
sorry. I thought you loved me back too…’
Khushi: It’s not even been a minute since you confessed
your love and you’re withdrawing back? Hell, I am a stupid to love you.
Me: …what?
KhushI: I love you too stupid. I thought you would never
confess it.
Me: Won’t I get a love you too kiss? Come on you can do
better.
Khushi: You Pervert. Go, I hate you.
Me: And I love you too my feisty lioness.” I said pulling
her into a hug.
And then we embraced each other finding our halves, feeling
complete. Maybe I look like salt and she like pepper. But as the world knows,
salt and pepper can’t be separated. And so, this saga of salt, pepper and
Jalebis continues, maybe beyond eternity. Who knows?
And this was how a ‘Hi’ made Kush find his Khushi.
