Chapter~4~
Krishna often favoured visiting the Durga Mandir near his university.
On one such
visit he saw Varsabhanavi and this time
he hesitated to talk to her but to his surprise Varsabhanavi smiled at him and spoke to him.
Varsabhanavi : Heyy.... Hi Krishna.. Think of the devil and.....guess the world's a small place!!!...
We seem to be running into the other so often!
Krishna(hesistantly)
: Oh ...Hi... Ya... i thought so too... Well ...err.. I gotta go...Bfn
Varsabhanavi was seemingly upset that Krishna had to leave
but gathered herself and said
Varsabhanavi :OH... OK .. no problem... Would you like to come over for my birthday party...?
Krishna(shocked):Well
... Ummm.. Yaa... fine ...when is it...? Sorry am bad with dates...
(Varsabhanavi
took a while to digest the fact that the
guy who had ideas with her had no idea when she was born!!!! )
Varsabhanavi : Its tonite! Today is my birthday and I
wanted to visit some Durga temple so came here.. It’s been a hectic travel.. An
hour or so….
Krishna:Oh.. tonite..
I don’t think it’s possible.. You live at the other end.. West End Avenue
right... (Blurting)I mean i saw that in face book....
Varsabhanavi (shocked
):Ya... I live at the 84th street West End Avenue...
Krishna :Oh..
BTW... Happy Birthday... I mean... (Laughs)
Varsabhanavi : thankyou Krishna... Do drop in home
sometime... I'll be leaving soon...And hey do give me your number..
Krishna: My
number is XXXXXXXXXX ....... Bye...
It was almost
a week when Krishna received a text from Varsabhanavi and he responded as politely as he could. Krishna
realized that there was no point in trying to be his casual self as his simple
remarks would spoil his reputation with the hot-tempered woman.
Varsabhanavi could sense the difference in tone and voice
in the texts but felt assure that Krishna wasn’t upto any mischief.
Varsabhanavi invited Krishna on the following Sunday on
pretext of her belated birthday and Krishna gladly agreed to meet her. They met
at Café Lalo and Krishna gifted her watch and they both talked for almost for
two hours .Krishna realized that Varsabhanavi was still the same woman he had wanted for his
life and wished she would be more loving, she would be more forthcoming and
understand his feelings for her… He was running in his mind how it would be to
just ….If he could play with her cheeks and take her in his arms… Krishna
thought that it would never happen and almost after another half hour they both
departed.
Krishna
thanked Varsabhanavi for the invite and
started home. Varsabhanavi was glad she
could spend her time with someone she knew was trustworthy.
Varsabhanavi : Bye
Krishna.. It was lovely to have you over... Thanks for the watch too. It’s
lovely J
Krishna: Ya.... anytime Varsabhanavi .. It’s nice to meet you over cup of coffee. And if it’s
not much... It was never infatuation...! Byee
Krishna left
a ever-pondering Varsabhanavi behind...
Varsabhanavi would spend hours thinking about Krishna , his
actions and words and wonder WHAT IF she had said an "YES" when he
first proposed...
She
was not sure if the feelings she had for Krishna were ever "more than
friendship".
