went toevery plant and waved a greeting. She had a close connection to that place..A lot of laughter
and painful tears had watered the plants.She walked slowly,
reminded ofthe days when she used to walk on the same path with
frocks, skirts, pants, salwars, and now and then even a really
expensivedress. The changes in her life and style were evident to her at that moment.
I miss my idiot, let me
call her, she thought and dialed the number.
After six rings, Pallavi answered the
phone.
“ What, madam, it took six
rings for you to decide whether to pick my call or not?”Laksha
asked.
“ Yeah, when it took about
six months for you to dial my number, can’t you waitfor six rings?”
Pallavianswered.
“ Fine, let's fight later,
I am back inChennai for a short visit, can you come? I
amactually in your garden now; I thought you would be here. ”
“ Nope, I am on a tight schedule this week, there is a campus drive, and
only the top 10 from every class have been chosen for the same. I booked my tickets and canceled them. ”
“ Oh! So you mean you will
get a job soon?”
“ Hope so, fingers
crossed!”
“ Come on! If not you then no
one will do well Pallavi, call me with the good news. We will fight
on other issues later, bye. ”
“ Yeah, it’s my time baby,
make sure you come by next month as well, I am planning to. I will
keep you informed.”
“ I am joining the same
company after internship; I will ask my boss, let
me see. ”
“ Oh, that’s great news, okay! We will meet next month. Chalo, you enjoy your
vacation,”
“ Yeah, fine, bye then,
see ya !.”
This is not the first time
that I missed meeting Pallavi, but this gap and the phone
conversation denote a
significant difference in her. I don’t
really know why, maybe, the recent fight accounts, but still, she
usually gets back to me except now. Am not sure, whether she is
occupied with someone else or if this gap drifted us apart. I
really miss her after talking over the phone, are there any chances
to know if it’s the same with her?
Should I call someone? If
yes, whom? Or is she really busy with preparing for her placements?
Whatever, I wish she gets the job soon. Her family desperately
needs her support. Even when I wanted to help her, she denied. So,
there are no chances of other’s intruding us. She is mine, even if
I chill out with friends and experience a great affinity towards
Sai, like a compass that shows North, I always to go Pallavi. Let
me straighten things, I want her back, she
thought.
Laksha was busy with her
parents and eating home food.She was forced to visit every
relative’s place also, but she had a great time telling her cousins
how exciting Mumbai was, so it was a short but pleasant
trip. Now that I got a job, I must come
home at least once in six months, she
thought.
“ I’m not going to bore you
with the usual questions like “are you in love?” or “Are you seeing
someone?” Laksha, I’mreally overwhelmed to see you doing well in
your field. I am glad that your company is offering you
a full-time role with good responsibilities,” said
her mom on the last day.
“ Yeah mom, same with me, I
was so happy to see you all after a long time, I miss being
here,” Laksha showed a tinge of emotion as well.
“ So, nice then, you take
care, we are always here to support you!”
“ I know Mom, and I will be
coming next month end as well, Pallavi wants me to since she is
busy with placement and stuff now. She will probably get a job at
an IT firm pretty soon, the much awaited day!” Laksha
said.
“ Good! You take care of your health, keep us
informed, and be open minded. God bless you.”
I’m so
lucky that I have great parents and friends. It’s a special gift,
thank God. It would be really great to have a lovely partner now,
who syncs with these great people to fulfill my life. Though it's
not calculative, I would love to marry a person like Sai. Hmm!
Things are really positive, maybe mom and dad have
