Was it impossible?... i dont think so :)
An old saying always bothered me,"once a loner, always a
loner", but that day i was too sober to think otherwise, i always
noticed my friends cribbing about their gal/boy friend, crying their
eyes out when things didn't go well and laughing their asses out
sarcastically when they would see their ex's with other major screw up
bf's {they were always referred to as not better then them :P }, anyways
i would always look back upon my "great friends" with pity and disgust
when they would go through this phase at times but deep down i too was
suffering, suffering form loneliness and an aching, or rather a craving
for a better half, i would always put forth a concrete image to stand
out from the crowd.... little did i know that soon things were about to
change
It started a year ago, i had recently been through a major
disaster in life, and as usual had done my best to do better{failing to
succeed}, by then i needed a diversion "real bad", she was a common
friend in front of whom i always made it a point to make my presence
felt but being a green horn in flirting sure made me look more like a
lunatic back then, at a point of time i had almost mounted enough
courage to talk to her politely but the moment i opened my mouth it
became a disaster, the situation was two of my dear friends would always
meet up at a common hangout where we would always be there along with
them to make a diversion if at all some similar face pops out of the
blue, we would decoy the situation escorting the two to safety, that is
all thanks too narrow minded Indian mentality!, which i wont completely
blame was i able to come across her coz of it, aah.. yaa the incident-
well as the two love birds wanted to talk something privately, hence i
thought it would be a better idea too just give then some space,
thinking so i acted and ended up quoting- "lets give them a while, why
don't we hang out for a while till they are done"... in my mind theses
words seemed to perfectly fit into the moment but out in the open it
seemed to me as if i was a step away from america dropping a mini atomic
bomb on my head instead of Hiroshima Nagasaki, anyways that moment
passed away with me embarrassing myself and Ms "a" getting a heads on
lead about my devilish intentions .
The forthcoming day as i opened my Facebook account i came
across a similar face, "ms.a" was on Facebook!!,,, the very next moment i
sent her a friend request which was duly accepted withing the next few
hours, though i couldn't catch her online for the next week of soo i
always hoped that something would happen so i could break the ice and
tell her, but doing soo at that moment would mite as well tag me as
a desperate person with no good intentions.... anyways a week passed by
and we had by then started chatting casually, i found myself really into
her.... she was quiet a unique kind of a person who maintained quiet a
balance between being a normal person and an extrovert.... she was
someone who would rather share all her stories thank rather keep to
herself, she would always prefer referring her glass as half full rather
than half empty, she was quite someone when i tried my way flirting
with her, she knew about it {my flirting sucked!}, but coz of our mutual
friend i was able to know her likes an dislikes which weren't known to
mee, then a day came when i realized that i couldn't use this platform
for overall communication and on a broader perspective requested for her
number so we could text each other.... in the beginning i was quiet
reluctant to ask as i felt she mite tag me a weirdo n block me... but if
i had to take the idea of a relationship any further this was a very
important milestone for me, as i built up the courage to ask for her
number all i could thing off was what if she says 'no', what if all my
effort goes waste..... this thing was very crucial and thus made my
delay my plans by another week.... as i was getting restless, one day at
the end of out chatting session as she was about to leave i asked her
"do u have s cell phone "-i asked her
she replied-"yes?"
"does it have a number"
her reply-"obviously"
"can i please have it?"
then i felt she was quiet stunned for a moment as i could see the
typing icon but no reply on the chat-box for the next 5 mins, after a
while i realized it was time to leave, as i got up to leave my chatbox
binged... "why do u want my no?"
i was speechless-"jus like that", i said
"i dont give my number to someone jus like that" replied she
at this point i was on the verge of hurting myself pretty bad for my hasty nature or rushing upto things....
the next message binged-"wait for some days, ill give it to you :)"
this was something which sounded consoling, but at the same time landed a
fear in my brain that she mite be stalling me.... with mixed feelings i
bid her farewell on that day... guessing that she mite block me off her
FB account after this date...
The next day i was not soo eager too goo online as i felt that
there was no use at all.... bt as usual the addiction made me switch on
ma PC and long into Facebook... as i went through the online friends
menu i saw that Ms.A was online, thus she hadnt deleted me...
i started chatting with her too formally that day coz of which she
within a few moments found something amiss that day, i requested her to
forget my plea for her number if it mite harm our friendship in any
way....
at that she told me that she was fine with sharing her number with me,
the only thing stopping her was coz i was new to her and she wanted to
know me better.... that was a great relief for me.... by now i had
realised that somewhat she was unknowingly playing a vital role in my
life and i was getting dragged closer to her every moment.... that very
evening i got her number.... i had told her
"the day you feel like giving me your number just message me on 966****708"
upon which she had replied with a text smiley...
days passed with us chatting and forwarding messages to each other...
nights peaked after me reading a goodnight message from her... days
dawned with me reading a good morning message
{yaa she was an early riser!}[quiet my opposite :D]
i had started to know her better by now.... she was quiet disciplined
yet dint fail to strike a balance of humor and laughter in our
conversations.... the day came when i proposed her, it wasn't nearby but
it wasn't that far off either.... but thats a totally different story
which i would share some other day...
till next time folks, have a great time till denn , bye... :)
