A boy was sitting in his room.His sister Yamini went near him.
Yamini:Are you angry with me?
The boy was silent.
Yamini:I scolded you for your betterment.I want you to focus on your work more.So that we will be financially secure.Only the people who are financially well off can survive in this world.Otherwise people will mock us.That’s why.Actually your di loves you very much bacha.
The boy looked at her emotionally.
He remembered Kavya telling him that his sister may be loving him very much and he should see that side of hers.
He:I am sorry Di for misunderstanding you.
He hugged he and wept.Yamini caressed him smiling.
Yamini:It’s ok bacha.
The boy rang up Kavya again.
Kavya:Hello…who is this?
He:I am the same boy who called you randomly for relief.
Kavya was surprised.
Kavya:You saved my number?
He:Yes.I wanted to talk to you.You made me understand that my sister loves me a lot.Today I realised that.Thank you so much.Now i feel very happy.
Kavya smiled.
Kavya:No need of thanking me.You are happy.That’s enough.
He smiled.
He:It’s very nice to meet a good person like you.Once in a while only we meet such good people in our life.Will you be my friend?
Kavya smiled.
Kavya:Without knowing each other’s names can we be friends?
He:Oh ya…I am Ashwat.
She:I am Kavya Suryavanshi.
They both kept talking.
Every day they talked to each other for a long time and became very close to each other in 2 months.
Adarsh rang up Kavya.
Adarsh:Kavya…can you come to a place?
Kavya:What?I did not understand.
Adarsh:I want to talk to you.
Kavya:I will come to the place you tell me.
Adarsh smiled happily.
Kavya thought:What does Adarsh want to tell me?
Kavya went to the place Adarsh invited her.
Adarsh went near her cheerfully.
Kavya:Actually why did you call me here?What do you want to tell me?
Adarsh:I called you here to give you my reply
Kavya was confused:Reply?What reply?
Adarsh said blushing:I love you Kavya.
Kavya was shocked.
Adarsh:I told my parents that I love you and want to marry you.So they have gone to your house to talk to your parents about our marriage.
Shock was a small word to describe Kavya’s feelings.
Kavya:What are you saying Adarsh?Marriage?So fast…
Adarsh:Our generation prefers courtship before marriage.I also want it.So let’s get engaged first.Then a long courtship..then our wedding.What do you say?
Kavya was not able to understand what to say in this situation.
She thought:What’s happening?Why did Adarsh say that it’s his reply?Why I can’t understand anything?
Kavya was becoming restless.
She thought:I should tell Adarsh that I don’t love him.
Suddenly Adarsh looked at his phone and said:I have to leave now as some customers are waiting at my bakery.Bye Kavya!
He walked away.
Kavya became upset.
Kavya:Oh…I couldn’t tell anything to Adarsh.
Kavya went home.Arjun and Preeta went near her cheerfully.
Arjun:My doll…you didn’t tell your Mr.Handome that you got a much more handsome man in your life.
Kavya was confused:Dad..?
Preeta:Adarsh’s parents had come here with the proposal.They told us that you and Adarsh love each other a lot.Don’t worry.We fixed your engagement with Adarsh.Are you happy?
Kavya was shocked.
Pihu hid her pain and told Kavya:I didn’t know that you love Adarsh.Anyways congratulations Kavya.You are lucky to get a lovely guy like Adarsh.
Kavya became sad.
Kavya rang up Ashwat.
Kavya:Hello Ashwat…here there is a big problem.
Ashwat:What problem?
Kavya:My engagement is fixed with our neighbour Adarsh.
Ashwat became dull.
Then he smiled.
Ashwat:O!Congratulations.
Kavya:You are congratulating me?You are not upset at all?
Ashwat:Why should I be upset?
Kavya:I thought you will be sad to lose me.
Ashwat became sad.
Kavya said tearfully:I love you.You don’t love me?
Ashwat:Kavya ..my family background is different from yours.You are very rich.But I am a middle class boy.You may suffer if you marry me and live with me.
Kavya:I don’t care about your financial status.I am only bothered about what I feel for you.I like you and I know that you also like me.i want to marry you Ashwat.
Ashwat became emotional.
Kavya:Before my engagement with Adarsh,shall we meet?
Ashwat:I am dying to see you Kavya.
She smiled.
Kavya:We will meet.After that I will tell my parents about you and you please come here and talk to my parents about our marriage.
Ashwat:Sure.Now I am excited to meet you Kavya.
Kavya smiled:Me too.I will come to your place by bus.
Ashwat:I will come there to pick you up.
Kavya:How will we recognize each other?
Ashwat:We will be carrying our phone with us.It’s easy to locate each other.Right?
Kavya smiled:Yes.
Preeta,Arjun and Pihu went to a distant place for a wedding function.Kavya refused to join them by pretending to be sick.Kavya travelled to Ashwat’s place by bus.
She got out of the bus.She stood near a shop and rang up Ashwat.
Kavya:Ashwat…I am Kavya.I have reached the bus stand.Now I am standing near a tea shop.You please come here.Only then we will be able to identify each other.
He:I will come there.You be there itself.
Kavya:OK.
Kavya thought:Why does he sound different now?It was not Ashwat’s voice.
Within a few seconds a boy reached there.
He called her:Kavya!
Kavya was surprised to see him.Because he was the same guy(Pratham) who was playing the drum and getting applause from the audience.
He was also surprised to see her.
He:You are Kavya?
Kavya:You?You are Ashwat?Oh…I never expected it.The person with whom I was chatting all this time was already known to me.I can’t believe it.
