“No I can’t…”

“Why?”

“Because I love you”

And then they hugged and kissed!

“Why is it so horrible to believe?”

“Rani and Karthik are a couple now…” said Malar.

“You got to be kidding!”

“You got to feel happy for them!”

“What the fish… Why should I? A year ago he said he was in love with a girl named Kirthika, and in 2 months he said, she is not the one! Then it was Poonam, Kavitha and last heard was when he went behind the girl in the green chiffon sari… Now I am 100% sure, he would screw up his friendship with Rani…”

“Relax… He had been behind her for a very long time but it was just that it didn’t happen because of ego issues. Raam, you know that Karthik is a good guy but it’s us who need to understand that from now he will be very much in the group and we can keep an eye on them as we know about each other!”

“Karthik and Rani walked towards us hand in hand…”

“Guys…I just can’t wait to watch this disaster happen!”

“Raam”

“I walked away”

They spent the entire time in Fisherman’s Cove just discussing about this. Karthik walked towards me and said…

“Machan…”

“Shut up!”

Karthik said, “Illa Machi… This is my life and I am very serious about it…You need to understand that I am confident about this relationship…”

“One more word form your mouth, I am going to throw up!”

I sat on the beach and started to read Midnight’s Children. I was immersed in the book and by the time I turned 35 pages, I looked around once and saw a young couple fighting who were of my age. That beautiful hair, lovely eyes and her endearing expressions just swept me off my feat. I sat their looking at her and she had an argument with her boy friend. She was the same girl whom I had seen in Madras Institute of Technology fest last year. But wait… She wasn’t with the guy whom she said was her boy friend at the fest…

Wow! She changed guys? No…No…She should have lied to me… Who cares, leave it and get along… But I couldn’t… Man! She is so beautiful.

“Now someone seems to be checking her out…” said Malar with a wink.

“No…She was just having an argument with the guy and…”

“Do you want to know who she is?”

“No…Why would I want to know? That’s none of my business!”

“Are you sure?” she asked with a question mark look
“Of course…yeah”!

“Ok…You got a chance and I am not going to tell you when you ask for me again”

“Why would I ask you…I am not interested da…You know me…”

“And that’s exactly the reason why I am asking you…”

I smiled and said, “no thanks…”

“So be it…”

“Karthik is planning on a surprise B’Day party for Rani. Any suggestions”

“Is he really that serious?”


“Hell yeah”
