Part 2
"I was coming home and it started raining. As you know I love rain. I was standing and waiting to get fully drenched. But then ..." She made an angry face. The smile which was there just moments ago on her face vanished.
"Oh, Tara speak up and remove the entry of that incident from your memory," said Meethi, offering her pakodas which she prepared just now.
"It's not your computer Meethi that just by speaking about him his entry will be removed," said Tara picking up a pakoda.
"So it' was a 'boy'. Tell me about him," she said pinching Tara.
"Nothing like that. You know, when I was getting wet, he came near me and said, Miss is there any electronic item in your bag? It's also getting wet along with you', " she said consuming the pakoda.
"That's so nice of him. He is such a responsible person. He knew that you must have forgotten that you had a laptop, mobile and many other things," said Meethi, putting more pakodas in her mouth than her capacity.
Tara snatched the last pakoda from Meethi. "If he is that good you take him." she said, eating the last pakoda. She continued, "You know then I remembered that I had my laptop, mobile and important papers in the bag, so I ran to a nearby shop where many people were standing. He too came there."
Meethi smiled and said, "See, as I said, he was right."
Tara gave a fuming look at her and continued, "He was standing next to me and his helmet was touching me again and again."
Meethi again interrupted her and said, "Wow, how romantic! How was his bike?"
Tara laughed loudly. Meethi was confused. She asked, "What is so funny? He didn't have a bike?" Tara continued laughing. Seeing her still laughing, Meethi asked, "He had Hamara Bajaj?"
Tara was on the floor hearing Meethi's question. She was still laughing and Meethi was getting confused.
"Ohh Tara say what's so funny?" Meethi was getting impatient.
"Ohh, Meethi," she said before blasting into another fit of laughter. Then she controlled her laughter seeing Meethi impatient. "His bike was not working. The water of this first rain entered the silencer of his bike and the bike stopped." She again blasted in another fit of laughter, and this time Meethi too joined her.
