Chapter 3
(Read the second chapter here)
June 2010
Varsabhanavi successfully completed her engineering in
computer science and was a college-topper. She worked with Inminds technology
firm where she started her career as an apps -developer.
Varsabhanavi learnt that the very words "trust", "honesty”, “friendship" seemed to
assume different meanings at different levels in the corporate world. She was adept in the art of
coding and destroying bugs but felt a cold loneliness everyday as she prepared
to leave her workstation.
There was
money, people and everything around her that could make her happy but the
feeling of insecurity kept biting her always. It kept ringing in her mind that
made her feel - school and college life was a piece of heaven.
She would muse,
joke and enjoy with friends nevertheless have a void building deep inside
her.
Varsabhanavi was offered to be sent
to New York to work at the client's place on-site and she jumped at the very
thought of standing at Times Square .Varsabhanavi was a child at heart and every single moment
she wished to cherish than brood. Hence the ideas of leaving her parents behind
dint deter her but put her on the first plane to the Big Apple.
In NY, Varsabhanavi
stayed at serviced-apartment at West End
Avenue and her office was right across the street. Varsabhanavi enjoyed her apartment as it had no
restrictions and it was all hers until she stayed. She shared the apartment
with two other women from other companies.
Varsabhanavi spent first few weeks at office spending extra
hours to meet deadlines.She would often imagine how her application once
developed would change the future for better. She was an avid blogger and
enjoyed updating her thoughts and ramblings with the world. She spent the
weekends visiting her long list of relatives and sight-seeing in NY. She
often visited the Church of St Paul and St Andrew and enjoyed the sermons.
One day while
visiting the Statue of Liberty about 11.5 miles away , Varsabhanavi saw someone she could never forgot her
life. From one corner of her eye, she could see how much “her most favoured but detested later”
senior had grown up to be. His childish face now looked more mature and his
moustache looked manlier than he was at college.
She shied away at first but it
was Krishna waved at her with all enthusiasm possible. Varsabhanavi
was a little uncomfortable at first but
later reconciled that a simple greeting could do no harm.
Krishna: Heyyy
Man...How you Varsabhanavi ?... it’s so lovely to see you...!!
Varsabhanavi :Hi...
so what’s up and how are you!!Am fine... so how is your job or...
Krishna:Ah.. No
i dint take up the job offered by ...well what was that German company.. I dint
feel it was my cup of tea.. I'm studying here at Princeton...
Varsabhanavi :Oh
! Lovely... nice to know you took up what you liked and followed your heart...
Krishna(chuckled):If
I had followed mine I'm sure you know where I would have been..!!(winks)
Varsabhanavi :(blushed)
Ah.. Come on now...
Krishna:
(sensing that Varsabhanavi was
embarrassed) that was a joke by the way...
Varsabhanavi :
Oh .. kool(with a slightly dejected accent) I gotta go now .. Catch you
sometime later...
This was the
start of an otherwise sweet candy love story.
Jan 2011
Varsabhanavi had completed three months with the project
and was steadfast when one day she looked upon the window from the 34rth floor
and saw the people below.
She felt a
strange happiness that she had found someone whom she had known to be very
caring than any of her friends. She was letting her mind ponder and think more
about Krishna when suddenly her mobile buzzed informing her of facebook
notifications.
She checked
to see Krishna's friend request and she gladly accepted his invite.
Krishna: Hey you accepted my invite!! Whoa that’s a big progress madam!!
Varsabhanavi : Hey that’s just a social networking site and invite...don’t get any ideas ...
Krishna: Com'on
I just am glad that my dream girl had accepted my request.
That was the
last Krishna could type something to Varsabhanavi . She had blocked him.. She
dint like the flirtatious nature of Krishna.
Krishna
slammed his apple lap and yelled "What's the F*** wrong with her... I wasn't even...
These women will never ....."
