The Beginning of the End! Part-1

Hey guys. Wassup. I ended my last blog post with how I went back home after dropping her home. I then left for Chennai and my friends came to see me off. That was the best New Year I had ever had and will always remain. At home in Chennai, they were the days of my final year project and we four of us friends used to roam around in the name of working for our ambitious project for a big ATM manufacturing company. I missed her a lot. A lot. I used to call her in the nights as it was the only time I could get some privacy. My mom started growing suspicious. She kept asking me who it was and whom you are talking to at this time of the night. She knew it was a girl. And then I started talking in the evenings. I used to tell her that am going to my friend's place and take a walk along the beach or just go to the terrace of my building and talk to her. I was waiting for my holidays to get over so that I can go to my college, where I wont be under the watchful eyes of my doting mom. I then realised that these are some of the extra packages which you have to carry alongwith the bigger package called 'Love'. I readied myself for that.

Finally my holidays got over and I left for my college. Once in college, my friends started asking my story and I told them. So, all was going well till then. I didnt know why. Maybe I started to take her for granted, (even tough I tried not to) fissures started to develop. Small small fights and altercations. Most of them because of me. But what I didnt realise was that, the things which seem insignificant or small now, would grow into something bigger and dangerous in the future. And it did. Along with all the romaticised messages, chats and calls, we also had our share of tiffs. 'Yours truly' being the reason for all of them. I would say something really stupid which I will realise only after I had uttered them. I behaved in the most immature way and she the most mature for a girl 3 years younger to me.

Possessiveness started to raise its ugly head. Well it is good for a relationship but everytime if that was a reason for any fight, then its a very serious issue. Long distance relationship wasn't working out as how we expected it will. But we just thought all of these as passing clouds. I loved talking to her. Loved her voice, her innocence and all these fights didnt matter to me because she was the one I wanted. I loved her. I was hell bent on making this relationship work. But to make it more stronger I had to meet her, but that was not a possibility since I had a college to attend to and was shortage of cash to travel all the way to Hyderabad. What I thought was impossible became possible. My college organised culturals for three days in March'08 and I decided it would be the perfect time to go and meet her. I planned to bunk two more days of college so that I can stay a little more longer with her. Everything was planned except the most important thing. Money. What will I do for five days in Hyd? That too I have to stay in a hotel, have to eat, have to take her out and I was severly short of cash.

I did something which I hated doing. I borrowed cash from five of my friends. Five hundred each. That made me richer by 2500 and I put in a 1500 more making it 4k. I told them that I will pay them in installments before we complete college. I did it because she was important to me. More than my principles. I booked my tickets taking a long route to avoid Chennai. Last thing I wanted was being seen by my family. I booked a bus to Bangalore. And then from there a train to Hyderabad. Trichy to Bangalore took me eight hours and then from there to Hyderabad took another 10 hours. So total 18 hours of travel. Only a Paulo Coelho's 'The Devil and Miss Prym' for company. I was damn tired. But the very thought of meeting her made my tiredness disappear. I was ready to do anything for her and I did.

New Year continues....

Hey all. Continuing from where I left, I then took her to the one off the most beautiful places in Hyderabad, The Lotus Pond. It is a park with a beautiful lake in the middle surrounded by beautiful flowers and trees, right in the middle of the city (see the pic which I have uploaded in this blog). But, unfortunately it was closed. So we just roamed around in the auto,(after giving the kinetic to one of my friends...you know she feared being seen by somebody :^)) with me boring her with how much I loved her, how I prayed to God for her and stuff like that. She sang for me. Wow what a beautiful voice. Everything of her felt sweet and good. Her voice, her touch, her giggle and not to forget the dimples, I felt I had got an angel right beside me, a taller angel ;^). It was a New Year day and she got a call from her mom and she told me that she has to leave as they are going out somewhere. I then helped her out in catching an auto and then I went home.

I was on cloud nine. The whole New Year's Day was spent narrating the day's incidents to my friends. I met her the next day, in the morning again at 8. We then went to another famous eat out and had breakfast. By now, the news that am in a relationship had reached all my friends and I started getting calls. I then convinced all of them that I will tell everything in detail when we meet in college. After breakfast, we didnt know where to go. She didnt want to go to any places, where there is a chance of her being seen with me by her cousin or relatives or college friends. So the options became very limited. We then thought a movie would be a good choice and then decided to go to TZP. We booked the tickets and were waiting when I got a call from my friend that he is giving a treat, as it was his girlfriend's birthday that day and he asked me to bring my 'Love' too. I then asked my 'Love' whether she wanted to go and she said 'Yes'.

We then went to the restaurant and waited there. My friends arrived and I introduced her to every one of them during lunch. I was leaving for home that day and I had to catch a train at 6. We then took leave of our friends and went to the nearest coffee shop where we shared some sweet nothings over a cup of coffee. I didnt want to leave her and I wished I could stay in Hyd forever. With her. But I had to leave. I then dropped her and went home.
