The Chit Chats

(Sooraj continues the story)

After getting Yesha's number i texted her.

Me: Hey!!

Yesha: Who's this?

Me: Sooraj this side.

Yesha: oh hy!! sorry i didn't recognised you.

Me: it's alright no problem.

Yesha: so what's going on?

Me: nothing just workout.

Yesha: At this time? It's already 9 pm.

Me: Ya i don't get time the whole day because of school and studies so i do it at night.

Yesha: That's great.

Sooraj: yupp.

Yesha: so tell me about yourself.

Me: ask whatever you want to.

Yesha: Any girl friend?

Me: No I am single since birth.

Yesha: ( in a humorous way) You literally are a fresh piece.

Me: Ya I am. Btw you had one right?

Yesha: Yess i had one but i have broken up with him. I am single now

Me: Nice

Yesha: So didn't you had a crush on anyone too?

Me: No i did had one. Her name was Ayesha she was with me in my coaching. But our batches changed and i forgot her. We didn't even talk to each other ever coz it was just attraction nothing much.

Yesha: okh okh

Me: Where do you live btw?

Yesha: ( humoursly) in my home.

Me: And where is your home?

Yesha: On land.

Me: comeon Don't pull my leg please.

Yesha: (laughing) okhh okh sorry. Btw i live near the town hall of the city. What about you?

Me: I live in the New City area

Yesha: oh nice. Well i am very sleepy right now, can we talk tomorrow.

Me: Okh good night!

Yesha: Good night!

After that day Yesha and me continued to talk to each other like this. This all was new to me as i never had talked to any girl like this before in my entire Life. I was a lil shy infront of her and that's the reason i was unable to be open up with her. As a result of this she could never understand me properly. But still we were becoming good friends. Sometimes we used to talk on phones too. Every thing was going in a right way but one day my innocence or my stupidity, i don't know what, ruined everything.

I called her late at night but she didn't picked up the phone. I called again and this time her mother picked up the phone .

Me : Yesha?

Her mom: I am Yesha's mom. Who are you?

I cut the call immediately because i thought that her mom would alse be strict like mine. After a while to know if everything was right i again called her not once or twice bur for atleast 10 times but she didn't pick up the call and that was my biggest mistake. My insecurity was interpreted as a lame act to her.

Next day we met in the school.

Me: Hey Yesha sorry for what happened the last night.

Yesha: You shouldn't have done that.

Me: i was scared after listening to your mom's voice.

Yesha: don't worry she is not strict at all. She is open minded. And If in future she picks your call then just ask gently about me.

Me: ok

After that day we continued to talk as before. Whenever I was with her or talking to her, i was always a different person. Infont of her i used to become thought less. Whenever i saw her i just forgot all my pains. She was always with me in my thoughts and i was in love with her. But one thing that i was unable to do was to impress her. I was unable to make her come close to me. I was unable to create an interest in her for me. I loved her that was not my mistake. But my mistake was that i just loved her. If you love someone that's not enough. You have to create an interest in that person for yourself. You have to show some care for them and make them realize that you are perfect for them and you are the only one with whom they can spend their entire life. After that only they too can fell in ur love. But i was unable to do these things becoz of my shyness and insecurities. I was unknown of the fact that my past, which made me like this an insecure, scared and shy guy, will adversely affect my future.

One day our school planed a trip to Jaipur. I was eager to go because Yesha was going. But i was thinking whether my parents would allow me or not. I decided to convience them to permit me for the trip. After reaching home i talked to my mom.

Me: Hey mom can i ask you for something?

Mom: Ya son ask.

Me: Our school is planning a trip to Jaipur. I also want to go. Can i please?

Mom: Okh but whats the fee?

Me: just 5k mom.

Mom: Diwali is near and we have already made a lots of expenses. I have some savings but i have to bought a saree for me.

Me: ( in a low tone) ok mom i will go next time.

Seeing me sad my mom was disheartened . She refused to buy saree and gave me the money and permited me to go on the trip. That's what a mom is like. She herself can suffer but can't see her child suffering.

After that i submitted the fees and was waiting to go on the trip with Yesha. I knew these two days, of the trip, are going to be some of the best days of my life. I told abut this to Yesha and she was happy too. I had already planned to propose her on the trip and i was just waiting for that moment.
