evolved enough
to agree, and I hope his family will also be on the same
wavelength. Fingers crossed, let me see! “Saiiiiiiiiii will you be
mineeeee”, Laksha sang
a line to her own tune with a smile in front of her old mirror, the
one attached to an Almira.
    ***
    Laksha packed her things and
said goodbye to her parents, neighborhood kids, the vegetable
vendors who lay their mobile vegetable shops in their street. On
the train, she swiftly arranged her things and was excited about
returning to Mumbai; she also planned a surprise
visit to Sai’s place. The excitement turned into a pleasant dream
that let her sleep with a smile for hours in her seat.
    Indian railways had planned
a better surprise for her, however; her train was delayed by
four hours, which pissed her off. She was drained by the time she
reached home at 11 P. M. When she called Sai, he answered in an
irritated sleepy tone.
    “ Who is this?” he
asked.
    “ Saaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiii,”
Laksha dragged his name to get into his comfort zone.
    “ Well, nice to know you
remember my name, I’mso glad dear interior designer, of the stupid
startup company VE,”
    “ I know you are hurt, let me
explain nah..”
    “ Thanks, I’mnot hurt at all,
you think you're so important to me?” he blurted out in
anger.
    “ I actually started on time,
just to be with you on your birthday, but the train was
delayed,”
    “ I am not asking for an
explanation Laksha, I just don’t care, I’mnot drinking and lying in
a corner, crying that you are not with me, you don’t mean that
much,”
    “ You are killing me with
these words Sai, stop it please. I came back today for you, to
spend quality time with you and express my love to you,”
    “ What?”
    “ I mean, to make sure you
understand, how much you mean to me,”
    “ Huh? Okay! Beautiful , thanks! Anything else to worsen my day further,Miss Interior
Designer?”
    “ I want to meet you, I don’t
mind that it's late, can I come over?”
    “ I’mnot in Mumbai, but 600
kilometres away from you Laksha,that doesn’t just mean the distance
between the red colours air balloon that Google map symbolises,
it means much, much more.I’mcelebrating my birthday with people who
value me,”
    “ Bye Sai, I have nothing to
say!”
    Laksha was hurt, but still,
she was scared about how easily she had blurted out her love
towards Sai. She thought it was casual and given that she managed
to escape, it was right from her heart. She wanted to meet him
and talk; she planned to catch him somewhere.
    She had no one else to
contact except Saurav, so she decided to ask him about Sai’s vacation.
    “ Saurav, I’m sorry for
disturbing you, I just wanted to know where Sai is, please reply
whenever you see this text,”
    “ Reason?” Saurav replied immediately.
    “ I want to meet him, and I am planning to visit wherever he is,” she replied.
    “ Are you serious? Can we
meet before that?”
    “ Yeah! But.. Why? It is just
enough if you tell me where he is celebrating his
birthday,”
    “ He is in Goa with his
friends, but I want to meet you before you even think of meeting
him,”
    “ Fine, sure, we will meet in
the morning.” she replied.
    Why does Saurav want to meet
me? Is Sai’s opinion of him real? What is this game, what should I
do now? Should I book the first bus in the morning to see
him or meet Saurav first? What does he have to say? Am I on the
right track? Whom should I talk to.. Mom? Pallavi? No – mom will
never allow me to go meet Sai for sure, and Pallavi will kick my
ass off. Whom shall I talk to about this???
    How about talking to mom
that my friend needs this advice, let me try the same with Pallavi
also. But oh no, she is busy with her placement, she thought.
    “ Mom, a friend of mine wants to go to Goa to meet her boyfriend, but his cousin wants
to say something and stopped her from going, what do you say? Is it
okay for her to go? Or wait and meet the other guy?” Laksha sent a text to her mom.
    “ The best
