CHAPTER 2-Oppourtunity lost hope gained

She came straight to us.

“Hi. My name is Priya and I like your offer to drop me to Indore.”

Ever wondered one gets a chance like this? I remembered the lines eminem said at the starting of his song ‘loose yourself’ :

Look, if you had, one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it, or just let it slip?

Until now I wondered when I would be inspired from these lines, but now I knew I was inspired.

“yup. surely you can come.”, I said seizing the opportunity.

“WHAT?”, Pankaj said surprisingly, “..You didn’t even asked me ?”

“Come on bro you wont say no to me.!”

“But why not?”

We were still talking in front of Priya, so as a gentleman I took Pankaj to one side and tried to explain the reason to his ‘why s’.

“you have to do it for me.”, the obvious and best reason.

“but why?”

“because I am your friend.”

“but who is she?”

“she is priya.”

“ya she is. But who is she to me?”

“Consider her your Bhabhi.” Sometimes boys think too quick.

“oh oh oh…” , and he smiled. This smile was the indication that the problem was solved and things are going my way.

So, we jumped into the wagon-R and Pankaj started to vroom off to Indore. But unfortunately Priya was sitting at the back seat and I was at the co-driver’s place.

“So where do you live in Indore?”

“I..” and Pankaj interuppted.” rajendra nagar.”

“oh. I am in VAISHNAV COLLEGE.”

‘VAISHNAV college’!!! I thanked god for doing this. I got admission into VAISHNAV COLLEGE FOR ENGINEERING. I quickly asked.

“Which year?”

“1st” WOW!!!

“I am also in the 1st year. ELECTRICALS AND ELECTRONICS.”

But soon the humour faded.

“oh i am in the commerce college.”

Pankaj was about to laugh but he somehow controlled it. Everytime I think the situation is good it turns the worst.!

Still I asked the important question, although I was a bit nervous asking it. No! I didn’t propose her. Don’t you think it would have been too early?

“Do you have a bf?”

“Don’t you think so?” I was a little held back. But she smiled and said.

“yes and we met on the internet.”

“are you serious?”, Pankaj and I were purely surprised. Internet love?? I don’t know if its real. I mean, there are real people around you. What the hell made you think the virtual person is better.? I asked her this to which she replied.

“the world of internet is no doubt virtual but the people using it are real. And thus emotions are real and love is real.”

“hmmm…”, the best word(or sound) which helps you when you are out of words. Things did seem clear now. The offer proved a loss. Anyways, I would find another one. This thought is what keeps hopes alive in most of the boys.! I still asked her phone no. so that we could be in help for each other when we can be. We were friends atleast.

We were about to reach Indore. 

“Where should we drop you?”, asked Pankaj.

“PHQ”

“hmmm….”, I thought some response should be from my side so that it may make up for the last one hour of me not talking.

“well…Rohit.?” Me? She took my name?

“yea?”

“tell me one thing .”

“what?”

“Do you a gf?” 

I wanted to ask her “are girls realy stupid or do they behave as if they are?“, but instead I replied negatively and that too very politely.

“ohh…you will get one…” Was that a sympathy?”…you have a personality that girls like.”

Saying this she opened the door and went to the bus. I smiled to myself and she smiled towards me.

PS: Don’t know when I will get internet access again.
