The drive to Gunjan's house was filled with awkward silence.... She didn't speak, and I didn't try to muster up a conversation.... Nevertheless, we knew exactly how the other felt... There was a raging fire, running through the both of us.... I could feel the heat, and I knew Gunjan saw it too....
Before I could ponder on the matter any further, I heard Gunjan's phone ring.... one ring...two rings...three...
She looked as if she was in a trance....as if she was lost in her own world....
'Uh...Gunjan?' I whispered. She looed at me, startled. 'Your phone....' I waved at the direction of the ringing. She blushed a bright shade of red. 'Oh! Uh...Thx....' She stammered as she cradled the phone beside her ear.
'Hello...?' She called into the phone.... 'Kaun bol raha hai?' Her confused frown soon turned into an ecstatic smile.
'Siddhart!!? Is that really u?!!' She laughed, relieved. 'of course not! Tum kahan mujhe bhoolne doge?!'
She said teasingly. 'Waise how r ur studies going?! America me ho na?'
There was silence...but the silence was soon broken by Gunjan herself! 'Omigosh...sid....? Pinch me.... Tum yehin Mumbai me ho, aur mujhe pata tak nahi?!'
She screamed, overoyed. I, on the other hand, felt a pang of jelousy. How could Gunjan possibly be so happy talking to someone other than myself??!! But I didn't know the reason for my jelousy....Dude.... She's your best friend...and that's ALL.... I scolded. Who cares who she talks to???!
But I knew I cared....oh...I cared more than anyone who she talked to....
'Omigossshhhh!!! We Have to meet Up!!!' My heart felt heavy. Suddenly, she turned to me.
'Heyyy!! Why don't u come to my place for dinner?! My best friend Samrat is gonna be there too! It'll be fun!!'
I opened m mouth to protest, but she quickly clamped it shut. 'Awww...say yes, say yes, say yessss!!!'
She begged. I gave her an angry scowl. She gave me a pleading look....
After a moment of silence she gave a relieved grin. 'Great!So I'll see you at seven! Here's my address!'
After she finished explainng the address, she slapped her phone shut and turned to me.
'You're cuming!' She declared. I stopped the car and peeled her hand off my mouth.
'Awww...Gunjan, what the hell yaar!? Why did u say I would be there?! I don't even know this whats-his-name siddhart guy, and u expect me to have dinner with him?!'
She raised her hand in defeat. 'Samrat....woh kya hai na, if I have dinner with him alone, thoda awkward lagega....After all, I haven't seen him for five years.... Iss liye maine kaha ke tum aaoge.... Pleaaassseee.... think that u r having dinner with me.... Aur I promise u, tumhe sid buhot achcha lagega!'
I rolled my eyes. 'Sid mujhe kabhi achcha nahi lagega, the flirt.....' I muttered. 'What?' She asked confused. 'Nothing!' I said, giving her the fakest of smiles.
'So tum aaoge....?' She asked, hopefully. I grumbled. 'Tum, aur tumhaare boyfriend dinner khaa rahe ho.... tho main kahan se tapak pada??!'
She glared at me. 'He is NOT my Boyfriend....'
I stuck my tongue out. 'Haan haan, whatever. Tell me one gud reason why I should cum!'
I asked, childishly. 'Cause I'm ur Best friend.' She answered without a moment's pause. I couldn't argue with that....
'Oh fine, fine! I'll cum.... Par agar woh sid mujhe achcha nahi laga na, tho main beech dinner me bhaag jaonga!'
She smiled, and gave me a thumbs up.
'Done!'

We hadn't spoken for five years. Something kept getting in the way...First he had moved to America.... Then I had gone to London.... And now, I was final here in mumbai....
We hadn't spoken in the longest time.... I felt jumpy.... The initial excitement was wearing off, leaving behind a trace of fear,,,,
What would I say to him....? We didn't really have anything in common....
Samrat will be there... I thought to myself... It won't be awkward.... Samrat won't let it be awkward...
I sure hoped I was rite...
I gulped. At the moment, I wanted nothing but to hide in a shell.... I wished the ground would just suck me up, so that I wuldn't have to face Sid....
'Samrat...where r u....?' whispered to myself impatiently. It was nearly seven and there was no sign of him....
I picked up my cell and dialed his number. 'Samrat?! Do u know what time it is?! Where r u?!! Hurry up! Sid will be here any minute now!!'
He chuckled. 'Look behind u....'
'What?' I said, irritated. I turned around abruptly, and to my surprise, found Samrat standing behind me!
'Tum!'
I said, more of an aknowledgement than a question. I ran to him and hugged him tightly.
'Samrat.... Tum bhi na?!' I said, hitting him lightly on the chest. 'Mujhe laga ke tum nahi aaoge!!! Kitna dar gayyi thi patta hai?!! Par tumhe kahan kissi ki feelings ki parwa?! Tum tho bs apne bareme-'
He clamped his hand over my mouth. 'Shhhhh....' He said, in amusement... 'tum buhot bolti ho.....'
Until that moment, I didn't realize just how close we had come.... His lips were just inches away from mine... I could feel his moist breath, gently caressing my cheeks..... His arm wassliding across my waist....
He leaned in closer....closer...closer..... and then......
