He opened the window,
sauntered in the room holding a Samsung cell. He thought of making call, but
was not in the determination to do. Alas! He said, “Why on earth I am scared to
tell what I feel inside me. Am I not a man?” He closed the window jumped on the
bed, tips of his index finger on the mobile phone. He lied on the cozy bed that
was made out of teak wood and was well put on with double size mattress. He
rolled on the bed for several times, closed his eyes imagining the beauty
scenario that he was hoping to happen in coming days ,but not being able to
decide to call or not.
The apprehension rises
to the peak of his thought and he made his mind to dial the number. He pressed
the number by not giving way to the fear of getting negative response, but
listening to the ring and was lucky to get the response from a melody voice
saying, Hello? “Who is this?” He stammered to respond, forgetting the mind that
he had decided not to get excited and fear; therefore, the call on other side
was hung off.
Burned with the
emotions he was lost on his own way; suddenly there was knock on the door. He
opened the door with sigh of not being able to talk the feelings of his very
thought. It wasn’t surprise for him to see his room partner MR. Dorji on the
door. “Welcome in.” He said. Dorji straight away went in the kitchen to look
for a food. Might be Dorji was immensely hungry.
Night passed on with the melody voice echoing
in his ear (Hello? “Who is this?”) The tense was obvious on his face, and Dorji
felt that. Out of courtesy Dorji asked him if he can render any help to get rid
of his tense, but the imagination of him gave no room for Dorji’s say. Dorji
being an intimate friend wants his buddy to be in the state of euphoria. Dorji
insisted to tell him the problem, but was of no use.
Early in the morning,
he made his mind to tell his feelings to Dorji. He went beside Dorji’s bed and
said, “Oye! Dorji, I guess I am in love with a girl.’’ “So, what?” said Dorji.
He continued saying that he met a girl on face book where they two had chatted
for several months and now he wants her to know about how he feels for her.
Dorji wanted to hear more of it to ameliorate the relation of his friend with
her.
Affecting the air of
nonchalance, Dorji being the soul friend of him asked the cell number of the
girl from him and without wasting much of the time dialed the number. They two
had waited patiently for the call to be received. After several rings there was
an answer with same melody voice that he had heard previous night. Dorji handed
over the call to him, but he insisted Dorji to disguise for him. As requested
by his friend, Dorji smoothly talked with the girl; telling her how he wished
to be with her. Dorji tried his best in wooing the girl for is buddy.
Every now and then,
Dorji’s ears are filled with the talk of the girl by his Buddy. Dorji even
needed to disguise for his buddy time and again in the phone that sometimes
made Dorji to run away from his Buddy. Being a friend Dorji could not ignore
every request of his buddy and did everything what he was asked to do.
Next day there was ring
on his buddy’s call from the girl that his buddy wanted to be with her
desperately, it shined his buddy’s heart. Dorji gave the call to him, but as
like before he had no confidence to share his feelings; therefore, the favor
needs to be done by Dorji “How are you doing dear?” said Dorji. “Um…Uah… is it
karma? I’m talking to. “Came the answer. “Obviously.” said Dorji. “I am Karma.”
the conversation went on more than 30minutes. Karma pricked the thigh of Dorji
to let him tell about the plan he had planned.
Enshrined with the joy
of hearing the positive response, both Karma and Dorji cherished the
atmosphere. Dorji felt glad that he had been able to shoulder the
responsibility of building rapport relationship of Karma with his dream girl.
Karma on other hand credited Dorji for what he had done to him. “At last my job
is done.” said Dorji with lots of energetic. Yes, said Karma. “That’s why I
loved myself for calling you as my friend.” Both of them relaxed for a while
and went for a cup of coffee to celebrate their triumphant.
The joyous moment of
karma can’t be deciphered with a single monotonous word, but the automatic grin
of smile can explain the disposition of his emotion. Whatever Karma sees, looks
and hears turned to be amazing, there was no feeling of undercurrent of
disgruntle even from the worst condition he encountered. While on the way to
shop Karma asked Dorj if he could accompany him to go and meet the girl on
Sunday. Dorji Paused for a while and then said, “Even If I say No, you will not
spare me, so I must admit to go with you.”
Two of them talked on various topics till they reached back at their
resident.
“What a beautiful Sunday”
said Karma, early in the morning? He was so excited that he almost burned his
hand in the hot water that he was holding in a cup. Ouch! What on earth, he shouted
to himself and went to wake up Dorji. Dorji on the bed was reluctant to wake
up, but could not show it to his friend lover boy. Dorji woke up in a pale mood
and went to bath room to do the every morning chore that is always done in bath
room.
Meanwhile Mr. Lover boy made ready for
breakfast and they both sat on a dining table to eat their breakfast. “Hurry
up”, said the lover boy to Dorji. “As you know I don’t want to miss every
second to be with her, so eat fast.” Dorji made deaf on Karma’s voice and he
did what was told.
They went hurriedly to
look for vehicles traveling to their destiny. As wished; they got a lift. Karma
was tremendously excited and was preparing himself for better words to be
shared with his unmet girl. Dorji on other hand took the advantage of time for
slumber. During the course of journey Karma’s thought of being embraced by his
love to her was flowing like a stream. He could not even hear what the driver
was saying to him.
“Wake up boys,” said
the driver. You have reached in your destination. Both of them woke up as they
heard the voice and acknowledge the driver with the fare, which driver refused
to take. They heartedly thanked the driver. Standing on the side of the road
Mr. Lover boy took out his Samsung mobile phone and dialed the number of the
girl, but was not able to say a word when the response came to him saying
‘hello’, he then quickly handed his phone to Dorji, who actually was in the
sleeping mood. Dorji responded the call, pretending to be Mr. Lover boy.
Standing in the heat
like a slim sun bathed drift log, they two waited for the girl to pick them up.
Mr. Lover boy’s eyes went everywhere and loved whatever he sees, as he is in
the state of deepest love. He even felt the sight of despondent, but was tinged
with the engrossment of seeing her very soon.
Waiting for more than
hour both of them had a butterfly dancing in their stomach, Dorji could not
stand longer from not eating anything else, he without any words to Karma made himself
move towards the nearest restaurant. Karma standing all alone looked at his
glittering Samsung cell with the hope of presenting himself perfectly in front
of the girl and then followed Dorji.
In the restaurant, Dorji
had a good time eating well prepared porridge served to him by a most beautiful
waitress of the restaurant. He tried his witty smile to make him gain her attention.
Karma on the other hand was felling lethargic and clumsy. Time and again he
looked at his phone screen, he tried to call his unmet girl many times, but the
response he heard was only the same computer voice stating that the number you
have dialed is currently not reachable.
Seeing the frustrated face
of karma, Dorji tried to cheer up the mood of karma by cracking meaning less
joke, he even shared the tips on how karma should behave and speak when he
meets his girl. In between their conversation a call rang on karam’s phone
boisterously. Karma without looking at the screen he pressed the received
button and said, “Hello.” and stood aghast, but didn’t surprise him to hear the
alluring voice saying that I am sorry I have made you wait for a long hour and still
I am in doubt whether I will be able to come immediately or not.
Though Karma was speechless,
yet he was happy to hear her voice. He
had been displaying the idle reverie of an exuberant face in crowd of
restaurant. Dorji quickly noticed the change in the mood of his friend and was
explicitly interested to learn what the girl had said to Karma. To pass their
time in waiting the unmet girl, they two ordered the snacks and the beverage of
their personal choices.
Waiting in restaurant
with all the ordered snacks, beverage and watching Television could not assuage
the patience of him in waiting his girl. His face contorted with impatience,
looked up at Dorji who in fact shined like a star in the restaurant, within no
time Dorji was able to socialize with all the members of the restaurant and was
also able to conquer the heart of the most beautiful girl. Dorji had introduced
himself in a way that it was impossible for any girls to say no to him.
Time and again Karma
glanced at his mobile. He sees his friend (Dorji) talking merrily with the
girls. Getting sabotaged by his own thought, wondered in his mind why she is
making him wait for so long and what urgency had occurred to her when he had
struggled the tiring journey to embrace her so deeply in his heart. The shift
of the karma’s emotion was vivid through the way he breathes.
Everybody
in the restaurant was having an exuberant time jeering with each other, but Mr.
Lover boy lost all his endurance in waiting. Scratching his own head was the
only way to made him not to feel alone in the throng. Just as he stood up to make his way out of the
restaurant a girl came to him. She asked him to sit and talk with her. He felt
revelation for a while, but agreed to do what he was asked. They looked at each
other’s eyes and also witnessed the joyous moment of Dorji and the girls in the
restaurant.
Karma waited for the
girl to start the conversation, but she only sighed and shook her head, for she
wants to tell something what Dorji had told her about their reason for visiting
the place. To start a talk he pointed out to have one more cup of coffee. He
said, “I wonder why you have asked me to talk with you when you are not
starting any.” The girl chuckled and said, “In fact I am not aware of what you
and Dorji are up to, but as I see you in a clumsy mood I asked dorji about the
reason.” She gasped and continued saying that I am afraid how you will react on
what I am going to tell. Karma listened keenly to understand what she is going
to say as they have never met before.
The girl saw a look of
surprise on karmas face and she felt bit awkward, but she thought that it won’t
be good for her, if she keeps him from not knowing the fact and then she
continued by saying that when Dorji told me why you people are here and showed
me the number I instantly remembered the number and felt pity on you. Karma was
in tense to hear what she was about to tell. He suggested her to tell what
actually she meant.
She looked at the
hilarity play of Dorji and her friends to resume what she had to tell to Karma.
She told him that whatever comes on the way cannot be ours; it all depends upon
our previous karma. The philosophical talk of the girl made Karma in dilemma,
he wondered what she was up to and why can’t she be straight to the point. For
a while the girl looked at Karma and then said, “All I wanted is to let you
know to whom you have given your heart”. “I am sorry”, said Karma. Without any
hesitation she spoke him that the girl whom he had been waiting was no more
than a wife of someone. Karma was shattered at once, but was not able to
believe his own ears and asked what she told him. The girl repeated what she
had said.
Immediately he took out
his cell phone and dialed the number of his love. When hearing the response ere
he knew there was something fishy and truth in what he had heard. He stood up
to walk outside, but was stopped by the girl. He reluctantly sat on the chair,
lifted the window curtain and sighed deeply….
