4. The Proposal

SHE asked SORRY. I was determined not to see her eyes this time. I was dumbstruck and she added that she did not intend to shout at me. It was a misconception from my side. But I was hestitant to talk because HER gang of friends were behind her at a distance and watching us. So I simply told OK and left the place immediately. I knew she expected me to talk.

Really I became more nervous at that time, I bunked the coaching class and directly went to my friend's home. I told him about the life changing incident that happened before some time in my life. He was a very spiritual guy and so he advised to pray God before deciding anything.

In the evening I met my gang, I was so happy to share the incident with them. Siva congratulated me and demanded a party. I told him clearly that if everything became successful, I would throw them a party.

From next day onwards I started to wait for her call each and every minute. This time I was damn sure that she should make the first call/move, because I did not want to lose my dignity again. This cautiousness made me to wait for a week.

It was April 26,2005, I decided that I could not wait anymore- Anxiety crippled my Actions- I wanted to call her but my ego restricted me(this ego played the spoil sport later). Later I decided to ask for the help from our mutual friends. This time I knew that Poornima would not take the risk and Saritha was out of town. So I asked the help of Aishwarya, she came forward to help me whole heartedly. As she knew the incident already, it was easier for me to describe the situation to her. I was so serious and anxious about it but Aishwarya simply told me " Wait for 5 mins, I will call her and get back to you".

It was a nerve biting 5-minutes for me. She called me exactly after 5 mins and scolded me.

" Hey... Why do you expect a GIRL to make the first move, GUY should do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go, first call her. She is waiting for your call "-- Aishwarya.

I did not want to waste any more time with Aishwarya. So I responded to Aishwarya simply with a ok and cut the call. Next minute, I called HER.

It was a mesmerising voice from the other side. SHE asked me How am I doing and she enquired about my exams. Our mutual conversation thus began and it continued. SHE was clear that it was just a friendship, but i knew that Friendship is the first step to start a relationship.

We chatted almost 20 hours a day. Since we both were at home and both our parents were working, we got more time to chat. In that 20 hours of chat, 60% of the time would be spent by saying "then". We both did not want to cut the call, but we didn't have anything to talk....:)... I knew that she was so much interested in me. This time I knew HER EGO& HER social status were blocking her to move to the next level.

I still remember , our combined telephone bill crossed 10K rupees for the month of May 2005. It was a shocker. Both our parents started to shout at us, but we somewhat managed and escaped the situation.

My friends circle got shrinked, I needed more than 24hours in a day, my sleep cycle got changed, both fell asleep with the headsets on. I could sense a complete change in the character of both of us.

One day my friend Rekha called me and that time my mobile was in waiting. Yes, I was talking to HER. When I saw Rekha's call, I told HER to hold for a minute so that I would attend Rekha's call and get back to HER. That's all, SHE became angry and told me not to call HER .Ya, this time I started to sense HER possessiveness. It was GREAT........:) SHE was studious, possessive, dominative, talkative and more than everything she was lovable.

We were talking for more than a month and I decided not to waste the time with her as a friend. On June 1st, 2005, at around evening 7:00 pm, I asked her to come online, but she was not able to turn up for the video chat, I became angry at her. I told her that SHE was not ready to hear my words, because I was one among her friends and I made it clear that I did not want to be like that. I had a feeling that I was the one who was going behind her always and felt somewhat disappointed. I told her not to call me as a friend and I kept the phone down. This was the first fight between us.

On June 2nd, 2005 midnight 01:00am, she called me. I was bit hestitant to attend the call. When I took the call, she started to cry. First time in my life, a girl was crying to me. It was definitely a new experience in my life. I was not able to bear it, so I told her to stop crying and to discuss the matter.

My ego made it clear that I should not waste even a minute of going behind her and I explained her clearly. SHE again started to cry and when the clock struck 01:40 am, SHE came back with a reply

--------------------" I LOVE YOU"---------------------

a life changing reply to me, I was so happy with that PROPOSAL. I never thought a girl would come in my life like this. I thanked GOD and we both prayed GOD that everything should move on perfectly.

From that time onwards, she transformed me in each and every aspect of life. It was a wonderful experience in life but Guys should be so cautious in dealing with it.

Of all the birthday gifts SHE gave me, The most precious & treasured one was the FIRST KISS on Aug 12, 2005..........................

3. The Sorry

SORRY -- TRANSFORMED THE REST OF MY LIFE

March 2005 was full of exam tensions, no one had time to meet. Exams helped me a lot in forgetting the worst memories which i had encountered during February. In April first week our exams got over and i got enough free time, so it was difficult for me to get rid of those memories.


Me, Siva & Lal started to hang out a lot. We were roaming in all parts of madurai. I had a CD dawn bike, Siva had a scooty pep and Lal had a splendor. Wow!! It was a wonderful time. We were riding bikes very fast and moving here & there and was doing a lot of mischievous things.


On april 8th our entrance exam coaching classes began, so fear and anxiety started to disturb me a lot. I prayed God that SHE should not come to my class because I did not have that much courage to see her again. When i entered the coaching class i came to know that Girls and boys were put in different classes and i was so happy. We were in second floor and SHE was in first floor. So hardly i had time to meet her.

Meanwhile my friend siva encountered a girl named saritha, both had met in a tuition center. One day after the coaching classes got over, me, siva & lal were standing in the bike stand. At that time saritha came to take her scooty out of the stand, Siva was blushing. I immediately found out something was smelling fishy. I asked siva what. Siva told me that he was interested in saritha and he felt that saritha was also interested in him.

On april 12th Siva insisted me and Kamsi(siva's friend) to go and tell her about his interest towards her and he promised us to buy a FULL GRILLED CHICKEN, if everything turned out to be successful. I & kamsi took lot of courage and approached her, but she took her scooty and left the place before we called her. So me & kamsi took my bike and followed her and stopped her, she asked what. When Kamsi started the converstation, i stepped back because I was really scared of this type of conversation with girls.

Kamsi told saritha about siva's interest and Surprisingly, she told him to go and ask siva to talk with her. It was a great positive sign for siva and he became so happy. We were also happy because of that grilled chicken which had been promised. Next day siva, kamsi & lal bunked the classes and went for partying. Since Siva was a head boy( like a student leader) in our school, everyone came to know about this incident and everyone demanded a treat. Siva was on cloud nine, so he didn't care about the money and gave treat to everyone. He started to bunk classes and go out with friends for treat but whatever it may be, he will return to the center after the class ended to meet saritha. They spent around 30 mins in chatting and we acted as a body guard to their meetings....lol...

< Even i can write a separate story about siva & saritha>

Saritha became a very close friend of mine and siva told saritha about my attempt & failure. Saritha was a class mate of that GIRL and she threw me a shocker that, that GIRL was still interested in me. I was totally shocked and was not in a position to believe her. She told me that she had witnessed HER ,eyeing at me, whenever I crossed the first floor. Saritha promised me that she would confirm whether THAT GIRL was still interested in me.

I didn't take this as much serious as it should be. It seemed that saritha started to discuss purposefully about me in her friends circle. Although THAT GIRL didn't contribute to the discussion, SHE was listening curiously at the discussion. Most of my friends were studying in that class and they also came to know that SHE was the one, who shouted at me for that proposal. Later, This Saritha played a key role for starting our relationship.

One day after the class got over, i was talking with my friend who is a friend of HER too. At that time SHE came near my friend without noticing my presence. So i abruptly stopped the discussion and told a unexpected bye to my friend and left that place. I was not having enough courage to face her. Slowly everyone came to know about our fight and everyone started to talk about that incident which happened between HER and me.

On April 18, 2005, the last day of our entrance coaching class, a surprising event happened in my life, which changed the outlook of my thoughts and controlled my actions for the next 4 years.

A model exam was conducted on that day during the morning session. After the exam, i went out for taking lunch with my friends and returned in my bike. Siva & Lal decided to bunk the afternoon exam discussion session, so i was left alone. I returned alone to the center in my bike. When i was about to park my bike, i found that SHE was there along with her friends.

When i removed the key from my bike, i found that she was advancing towards me. I felt embarrassed and decided to leave that place before anything happened. I thought that SHE might be angry on me because everyone came to know about us. So immediately i took the bike from the parking area and was about to start and i confirmed that she was coming towards me by viewing the side mirror of my bike. In the first kick my bike didn't get started, but when i was about to kick the kicker for the second time, she called me by name.

I WAS GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Didn't Know WHAT TO DO...:(

I was completely stunned by her voice. This time i had decided not to see her eyes, because i knew her eyes will do the trick again. I was sitting on the bike, SHE came near me and told me that five letter word....

" SORRY "

I was stunned to hear this from that girl. I heard from my friends that SHE was so bold, outspoken & courageous and SHE would never come down from her level. I had never expected SORRY from this type of a girl. This SORRY transformed our life and imparted a great amount of knowledge, life skills for both of us and left me with a PAIN, which is still not curable......

This SORRY took around 44 days for converting into a proposal.........

2.A D-day for me....

A D-day for me

Butterflies started to fly in my stomach right from 23rd morning. I had an instinct that she will call me. At morning around 10 am, i went to my childhood friend hari's home. I know that her parents are working and it was a study holiday period for us, so she may call me after 10:00am.

At around 10:30 am, Phone started to ring, i became more nervous. I asked my friend hari to attend the phone. It was poornima. She called him to enquire about my whereabouts. Hari handed over the phone to me. I was puzzled why she called me.
When i said Hello, She started to scream at me.

Poornima: Why did you call her? what you told her?
Me: Why? What happened?
Poornima: She called me just now and asked whether i gave you her number to you. did you call her actually??
Me: Hmmm.. what you told?
Poornima: I told i did not give it, but i think she didn't believe that. She may call you at any time be ready.
Me: Ok ... I will. I didn't talk with her. My cousin only did that, but we didn't tell anything wrong.
Poornima: OK i don't know. she will call you at any time.

Meanwhile my Cell phone started to ring, so i handed over poornima's call to hari and went to attend my call. I know it was SHE, who was calling me.

With lot of tensions and feelings, I attended her call. Although her voice was so sexy, her first statement bombarded my thoughts and feelings.


SHE: What do you think of me?
Me: why? what happened?
SHE: Your cousin called me yesterday. You don't know?
Me: Hmm... I know.
SHE: What you both are thinking of me? Who told i am looking at you!!!!(She was quiet but i felt it was harsh)

I didn't know what to tell. I just wanted to end the conversation as early as possible. I never thought of this type of reply from her.

Me: SORRY!!!!!!. This will not happen again. Don't worry, hereafter i will not disturb you. BYE!

I cut the call with a painful heart. I just wanted to move away from that place. Hari asked me to be there for sometime. He asked me what happened but i was not interested to disclose anything, But from my face He understood everything. He tried to console me. Poornima again called me and advised to forget this incident and move on in life.

" My D-day ended with a Day of DISAPPOINTMENT"

I was totally out. I have decided not to go back to her and not to talk about her with anyone. Since we are from same church, we had enough occasions to see each other, but i did not want that to happen at any point in my life. Guilty feelings surrounded me. I even thought that infatuation ruined my dignity before her. None of my friends had ever thought that i will go behind a girl. I replied to them that her eyes did that trick, it conquered me.

After this incident, i wanted to become normal and finally in a week, I became normal. Thanks to the board exams. March month was filled with full of exam tensions. I almost forgot her but i made sure that i should not see her (eyes) again.

Yes i was successful till April 18, 2005...........................................

To be continued.......

1. How it started?- Conquest by eyes

At the age of 15, I wrote a quote in my friend’s AG on the final day of my most loved schooling. I had quoted as

“LOVE is like a dustbin whoever falls in it, will be considered a waste”

This statement showed what type of guy I was. Ya, I was once a book worm who hated this type of social contacts.

Once in Madurai there was a huge rush in entrance exam coaching classes. I joined a coaching class. Me, siva and lal were very close over there. We spent most of our time together.

I had some other friends from the school, where she was studying. YES, this SHE is the LIFE CHANGER for me. A God given Girl, who changed my outlook towards everything in life.

I still remember the first look at her. I was sitting at the second row of the coaching class and she was sitting at the last but one row. She was so jovial, chatting with Hidaya. I didn’t know something happened in me at that moment. After that moment everything became normal TILL the day SHE looked at me.

Hidaya and Poornima were the two girls from her school through whom i came to know about her. Poornima helped me a lot.

THE SECOND LOOK

After the coaching classes, i went to my church for attending some other class. I saw her again. But this time she responded with a smile and a look, both acted as the initiators for my new life.

“Her Smile of EYES made me SICK”

I still remember the day, when she turned towards me and smiled. Her eyes were so attractive (seductive too...). I was standing near the corridor of my church, she came out of the church hall and smiled at me and went. Till that point, I had never thought that she already knew me. I took it as a confirmation from her side that she knew me. Thanks to hidaya and poornima.

On the same day, i was lucky enough to hear her voice. I was about to go home from the church, at that time she was waiting for her car. I took a lot of courage and went near her. Actually i didn’t know what to talk (No experience..:(..) . I asked her about her score in the practice test which was conducted in the coaching class. I knew her score already but again i asked. She smiled and she was telling me something but her eyes mesmerised me. I couldn’t hear anything what she told, it was sounding something like a buzzing of honey bees. Finally she conquered me through the eyes……

After this incident, she took courage to turn her head towards me and our eyes started talking. We met every week end in the class and were talking through the eyes. Beyond that none of us had shown the audacity to step into the next level. February 16, 2005 our official week end visits got over. It pushed me into huge disappointment. I didn’t know when I was going to meet her again.

I came home and told siva about this girl and he gave me an idea to find this girl’s phone number. First I approached poornima, a mutual friend, but she blatantly rejected it. I was so determined to get her number. So I, Siva and lal decided to find her home first, from which we could find her number. We spent around a week following her school bus but we were not successful. As we knew her car number, we went to RTO office for getting her address. But all our attempts failed.

February 22 was her birthday and I was so much determined to wish her. After failing to find her number, I put all my efforts to get her number from the only possible source poornima. Meanwhile poornima informed me that She was also talking about me in their school. This gave me another reason for the search. I compelled poornima like anything and finally she agreed. She gave me the much awaited answer for the search of my life. This time I got the number but I didn’t have the courage to talk.

Sophia, my fearless cousin, is the girl with whom I love to share everything. I told her about this girl and the things that were happening every week end. That day feb 22, Sophia and I were chatting about this girl and I told Sophia that today is HER birthday. Sophia took her number from me and immediately dialled it in front of me. HER mom attended the phone. Sophia was bold enough to tackle the situation and HER mother gave the phone to that GIRL. Sophia wished HER and took a lot of courage to talk about me to HER, but I didn’t want to talk with her at that time. Sophia gave my number to her and asked her to call me. At that time she made a wonderful statement

“How many days you will talk only through eyes… Come on!!!!!....this is the number … call him and Talk” – Sophia.

I was completely dumbstruck and I became angry on Sophia for being so open in the first chat itself. But Sophia told me, if that girl was interested in you, then she would really call me. Unlike that she would not create any problem. I was relieved but was anxiously waiting for her call. It was a study holiday period for us.

Next day i.e. February 23^rd, 2005, she called me in the morning at around 11:30 am………
