thanks Sunil……your email forward….has made me write this…but this Sunil definitely not anyways related to the character Sunil in this story……..
Soon it was late
Sunil was damn angry with her. He had decided to break with Rashmi. She had done it and he had confirmed it. He was not able to digest her deed. He had several questions in mind ……how can she do that to me? He decided all girls are bad like Rashmi……..
Sunil was a smart intelligent internet security officer in a MNC in Singapore. Rashmi was a cute and intelligent research scholar in a university at Chennai. She was his chat friend for the past one year. Sunil had plans to come down to Chennai for his vacations that winter. He had to meet Rashmi too. Both of them were good buddies. They spent hours chatting everyday. They had seen each other through webcams. Finally the day of meeting came. The venue and time was fixed. Rashmi was a bit nervous.
Sunil was waiting in his new metallic silver skoda near the university gate. He could recognize Rashmi from far. She was cute in her beige handwork salwar suite. As she walked down he drove the car near her and opened the door. Rashmi sat beside him. He had a warm n gentle smile of welcome in his face while Rashmi had a smile of shyness …….
Rashmi liked the way he looked. He was dashing in his light blue jean and dark blue T-shirt.
“where are we going ?” he asked
“your wish” she replied
He then winked at her and said “you look gorgeous in reality…… given me a choice …i would take you to the register office”
Stunned by his answer though she like it “Oh my Gaud… i will tell you…you drop me near my residence”
“so you are inviting me to your home for tea” saying he smiled at her
She immediately replied “ Oh no…...mom’s there at home… so you drop me near my home…..it may be a 45 minute drive…we can chat our way”
He had no other choice….
All the way he kept on asking her several questions…wanting her to talk…..but she just nodded….yes or no… when they nearly reached her house he asked her
“why are you not talking with me? you used to talk well when you were online”
“ is something wrong Rashmi……anything disturbing you?” he added
“i am nervous…….”
“nervous…with me……..am i going to eat you……..?” he said
“no ………but……….” She hesitated…"hold my hand” her head down
It was chill……..he shook his head…….and said “tomorrow I will make you comfortable”
Sunil had come down on a twelve day vacation….in between a four day program was fixed to visit his grandma and grandpa who lived in his native…Madurai…. two days to conduct interviews to recruit people for his firm’s new branch in Dubai…..one day he had to visit the local temples with his parents and sister. So he wanted to spend rest of the days with Rashmi……..
One evening it was a drive in ECR………they met at the same place like the previous day. He opened the door. She sat beside him.
“still nervous” he asked her
“yeah”
He wanted to hold her hands in his…….he held out ….she gave hers….
“Even now”
“more now ….”
She was actually comfortable holding his warm hand……
“shall i switch off the AC”
“no let it be” she replied
He took her hand up close to his face……..and paused…….to look at her…..she was looking at him….he was waiting for her permission……..and her silence gave it to him………he took a deep sigh before he did it………it was an icy-spicy kiss……….the first kiss from a guy…….he put her hand on his thighs as he drove along………her head on his broad shoulders……..
The next day ………. Again a long drive in the city…..he had to leave to Madurai that evening… he kissed her on her fore head and told her that he would come back soon ….she did really love every gesture of his…….he called her from Madurai almost everyday….. they had become quiet intimate in a short phase….. four days went past and he was back again in Chennai.
He took her on a long drive on the Bangalore high way that evening…….Shriperampudur…..Rajiv Memorial……they spoke a lot on emotions that day……. he reminded her of their first meeting…...he wanted something from her ……she understood and gave in …..
Days went off like a gush….soon was the day to part…..Rashmi was emotional. She was crying. How ever much she tried to control her self she was not able to……Sunil was consoling her but in vain……he promised her that he will be back in 6 months…and everyday would mail her……that he would chat as before ….but nothing could console Rashmi….he had to leave to join duty back… and left…
He called her as soon as reached Singapore……and almost everyday….he wanted to see her everyday on the cam….with his favorite color dresses…..love grew each and every day…….
One ordinary day on chat…..Rashmi was waiting for Sunil to come online….one of her school friends Akash was online and started chatting with her…she was replying to him…and suddenly she saw that Sunil had come online…so she told Akash that she had some very intimate person to chat with she would prefer to stop chatting with him to switch over ……due to curiosity Akash started asking her who it was, whether it was a guy or a girl and how she knows him etc….before she could switch over to Sunil……Sunil started scolding her………
Sunil told her that she was chatting with another guy and showing her self on the webcam to another guy….and that now he knows about her he would breakup with her……Rashmi was almost in tears…. she tried to explain he would not understand….
“i am now breaking with you……coz i know….i logged into your PC….you were chatting with another guy….and showing yourself to him……” he was rude……….
She cried and cried….she never saw Sunil online again….he never called her……when she tried calling him he didn’t pick up the mobile….…when she wrote mails he never replied….….he was a great friend in Rashmi’s thoughts………but he thought that she was a terrible friend. She wrote nice notes to him, telling him about the best times they shared together. But he remembered only that one time of assumed betrayal. Deep down he knew she was sorry. But all he had was hate.
One day accidentally he opened a one week old mail of hers. It read:
Dear Sunil,
I wanted to tell you, but you didn't let me speak,
I tried to tell you good things, but you were afraid to hear them.
I attempted to smile at you, to take away the hate.
But now it's time to let you know, even though it's a bit late.
That i am dying. I have a bad condition and it’s getting worse.
I'm sorry to have to tell you that i won't be able to see you again.
I wrote this to you today in the hospital.
My time is up. I'm sorry i should have told you sooner.
I'm really sorry about our argument, you are such a great friend.
I promise I shall watch over you,
Lots of love
Rashmi
Sunil was shattered. He tried called Rashmi’s mobile but in vain……….it was not reachable……..even her telephone was just ringing……………no one was picking………..he caught the next flight to Chennai and ran to the hospital to tell her that he was sorry. But only her mum was left. Her hand clasped over her face. She was crying. Down on her knees she prays, for her daughter to come back.
He was late. He wished that he’d told her sorry sooner and but he only got to say goodbye to her hanging amidst the festoon…………….
