Milind has only one aim now, that is to convince Prachi. He started going around her trying to make her smile. He shows her a banner "my love is time", pasted in the airport, but she leaves him dejected. He gets a small kid with a balloon on which smile please is written towards her. But Prachi continues to ignore him. He also follows to the book store, where she was trying to buy some books. He stands beside her, a few yards away takes a book named, ways to simplify love and taps on it to distract her. Prachi sees towards him angrily, "what", she shouts at him in a loud whisper. He sees at her and smiles. "I told you na, that I have boyfriend. Why don't you understand", "don't tell lies", Milind replies to her. She comes towards him and says, "you know what I call, guys like you who are following me like this. Roadside romeos." "see Prachi if it is like this,I will show what I will do when I get a year time to love you. Do you want me to take you for a bike ride, for a film, for disco so on. If you want I can show that one year in few minutes. Its not possible, becoz I don't have much time with you in this airport. If not I would definetly do it. Think of it please Prachi", Milind pleaded. "no way. Please go away from here", the whisper was loud it made few people turn towards them. In that process both of them drops their books making Ayesha to come towards them. "please Prachi", Milind pleaded her once again. "see if you won't go away from here. I need to go", Prachi warned him. Prachi starts going away from there with Ayesha. But Milind follows. Ayesha gets irritated and starts scrowling at him, "if you follow us again I will complain. Do you understand", Milind was taken back by this and decided that he would convice PRachi when she is all alone.
Neev was getting furstated seeing that fat guy following him where ever he was going. He decided to buy a new lollipop for his daughter. "do you have a pumpkin lollipop or some kind of it", he enquires the shop owner. "no", she replies. "do you have any idea in which shop I can get it", he asks finding a small hope for getting away from that fat guy. But the owner shrugs her shoulder helplessly. "we have still one and a half an hour time Ayesha where should we go", Prachi gets irritated, while waiting for the flight. "ok, then I need to go to washroom, what about you." Ayesha asks her. Prachi glares at her saying, "ok I'll be waiting for you in that cosmetic shop, come over there." Ayesha rolls her eyes, "oh god she's crazy about shopping. Ok then be in that shop but don't buy the whole shop", she says teasingly. Prachi gives a soft laugh and goes towards the shop. Ayesha moves forward, but bumps into Neev. Seeing her there Neev shows some strange signs to her. She not understanding what he was signallling, "what", she scrowls on him. Neev just jerks back mumbling, "did you my signals wrong", he made a dejected face. "nothing, we played a game na, I jumped from there in the middle. So I was actually asking who won, we or there." Neev instead of seeing her cooled down, he saw her angrily, "shut up, next time if you bump into me again, I'll make the plane to go through on you", blasting on him and hurriedly went away from there.
"you have lovely eyes, Ma'm", the shop owner comments, while PRachi was looking through eyeshades. "oh thanks a lot", Milind utters coming from nowhere, before she could open her mouth. She angrily moves futher, "why did you tell her thanks, if she comments me", she said moving further. "it came of suddenly, like you will tell thanks automatically when anyone comments on your kids like that", he gives an excuse moving towards her. "ok, give an hour time I will think about this matter." Prachi agrees to that. "an hour!, by that time you will be in the flight", Milind disagrees. " come on, Milind you will be coming to India. I'l give you my number", Prachi convinces him. "tell me something that is believeable Prachi, there may be someone who will change your mind, as soon as you reach Mumbai", Milind says still unconvinced. "ok, forty minutes, is that acceptable to you", Prachi asks him. "ok, but where do you find me." Milind asks her again. "no need, I know that you know where I would be. And one more thing don't disturb me in the meantime." Prachi says moving forward. Neev and Ali who were watching this from far, comes running towards him, both lifting him. "congrats yaar she is showing some positive sign, by thinking about you." Neev excitedly says to Milind, who was still in the foul mood. "who knows, she may said these for just escaping from me or she said really she would think of me." Milind replies. "Milind I think she won't be saying like that just for escaping from you, I think she really started thinking about you." Neev says thinking seriously. "I think what Neev is saying is true." Ali supports Neev. "but why are you here, you should have gone behind her. Out of sight, means out of heart." Ali says. "she told not to disturb yaar", Milind replies in a dejected tone. "it means not to irritate her, you do something, that makes her smile", Ali advices him. "then what to do, in order to make her smile", Milind thinks here and there and smiles as if some idea had struck him.
Prachi and Ayesha were lazily watching the tv, in the lounge. Prachi suddenly turns back, hearing someone calling her. Milind was standing there in a tensed manner. "what, it's just not even………………..", Prachi says staring weirdly at him. "just please for 2mins", Milind pleaded. "what she told you to come after 40 mins and you came now. Should I complain", Ayesha barked at him. "if you just shut up for 2mins, afterwards I will carry you all over the airport ok", Milind said weirdly. "hey I just want to show you something, please come this way", Milind shows the way. Prachi follows him, but stands there after walking few steps and suddenly bursts out in a loud laugh. She sees Ali's and Neev's weird faces and starts laughing uncontrollably. She could not control her laugh seeing their weird hairstyles. Ayesha who was standing a bit far also started laughing at them. "if you again give him this stupid ideas I'll kill you", Neev whispered stiffly to Ali. But Ali ignores him giving him a weird laugh. "I did what I know." Milind started with the scary look in his face. "I can learn and help in the beauty palour in the evenings. See I'm a true feminist. I like strong and carrier minded girls. I will support you life long." Milind saw Prachi staring at him. "actually I want to tell something before you start think about me. I wanted to walk with you, be with you for rest of my life", Milind stopped at watched PRachi's expression it was blank. "today you a may like one, but tomorrow you may like other", Prachi paused and saw Milind's surprised expression. "it was you who told that to me few minutes ago. Today you may like me. But whats the garuntee that you may like other girl tommorow. What will you do." Milind looked at her with blank expressions. "I knew that you won't have any answers for this", saying this Prachi went of the place where she was sitting before. "why did you ask him that question. Are you really thinking of him", Ayesha asked her sitting beside her. But Prachi nods her head in negative. But deep inside her heart she was really thinking of him. Milind left from there,thinking that she would definetly accept him.
Prachi sits alone thinking about why she was suddenly thinking about him. Milind comes there and sits behind her facing his back to her back. He tries to relaxes his head, but hits on Prachi's head head unexpectedly. Both turn back and exchange there looks and smiles. Prachi suddenly wonders why she was stammering. back there Milind was still thinking the time she was very close to him, the time when he was blewing the petal. He walks away from there not able to take this. She also walks of from there thinking what had happened to her so suddenly. Milind goes towards her, after forty minutes. "you know one thing, they two are my childhood best friends", Milind starts pointing his eyes towards Ali and Neev who fighting a bit away from them. "they are very close to me, till now. Even though I make new friends, their place retain their forever. It happens with you also. You have your place in my heart and remains their forever, even any girl comes in my life." Prachi sees him and turns away her face immediately. "you know that I'm going to get engaged", Prachi says him. "I know. But you are not getting engaged till you meet that person." Milind replies. PRachi looks at him 'how do you know' expression on her face. 'I heard you talking on the phone", Milind admits it. "how cheap. You know that I'm going to get engaged and proposing me. I thought you were a nice guy. But I was wrong", Prachi said angrily walking away fastly from there. "see Prachi, you should meet that person, like him, then only…", Prachi glared him before he could say further. "I heard this thing also", Milind admits this also. "Prachi why can't you give a chance to prove myself", Milind continues. "see Milind till now I didn't take any chances and I will not take any chances in future also." Prachi replies angrily. "you still have to meet him, like him. But you already know me. Why can't you think that you have choice", Milind tries to convinces her. "I would think that he would be a better choice than you Milind. Becoz you don't have a particular aim in your life. Your fickleness fears me." Prachi replies. "hey Prachi why can't me", Milind tries to pull Prachi back by holding her hand. But Prachi pulls it back immediately, yelling, "don't touch me, I hate you", and runs away from there. Three of them sees her running away blankly. Milind them slumps down dejected mumbling, "I love you Prachi", two of them goes towards him and starts consoling him.
After this they crossed their paths but, both ignored each other. prachi suddenly felt why she was thinking about him so deeply, getting flashes of them together. One incidence, milind headsets get struck into PRachi's skirt for the second tim. Dejected Milind tries to take them, but was in vain. Prachi then helps him to take it out, and both goes in opposite direction. Prachi just moves her stroller up and down thinking of him. Coincidentally, Milind will also be doing the same thing somewhere in the other place.
Prachi was seriously typing something, an announcement was made calling for boarding for flight to India. "atlast they had called for boarding", Ayesha sighed a relief. "hey we'll go after five minutes." Prachi requests her. Ayesha accepts and sits down waitng for her. Suddenly an old man comes there, pushing his trolley and sits beside them placing the back of the trolley facing Prachi. While Prachi was turning her side to side her eyes suddenly falls on something written on back of the trolley. She pulls the trolley towards her, but the old man resists her from pulling the trolley. "er……..excuse me. Something is written on the trolley, in my language. Please can I read it", Prachi requests him. " I love you so much, that when you die I want to build Taj Mahal for you", When she starts reading this, a smile started to play on her lips. Ayesha also smiles and rolls her eyes seeing this.
"every story I write has a happy ending. But why did your story ended like this." Neev asks Milind in a sad tone. "I think that girl is thinking about you. Moreover you have created a lot of impact on that girl." Ali says, even in a sadder tone. "if had atleast a day or so I would have definetly convinced her………….", "you have still 20 minutes Milind", Milind heard Prachi's voice, before he could speak further. "I thought I would give you a chance. I prepared some questions regarding your likes and tastes. They say, for a girl and a boy to become husband and wife, atleast 50% of their tastes should match and other 50% they have adjust. But this is the special case….so I will take a chance when your tastes matches with me 100%", Prachi says handing over the paper, to Milind. "I'll be waiting for you in the coffee shop", Prachi says. "not 100% it will match 1000%, becoz today's date is seven and my lucky number is seven. I was born on seventh of seventh month. My cell number is seven, my car,my bike number is seven. When I'm in seventh standard I stood first that whole academic number. And you are the seventh girl I loved." Immediately Milind bits his tongue, for telling this thing. "in this over excitement Milind is slipping out his unnessecarily", Neev whispers into Ali's ear. Seeing Prachi glaring at him, "no, no when I was young I liked Rekha, now Katrina Kaif. A fair and lovely model and when I was in tenth class a lady constable." Milind admits. "give that paper now", Prachi demands. "hey listen to me these are all infatuations, I really love you", Milind tries to convinces her. "not that, I want to add some questions", Prachi says, trying to pull the paper. "once the question paper is given it should not be taken back, sorry", Milind tries to open the paper, but Prachi yells, "don't open it." But it was too late, Milind already opened the paper and widens his eyes,seeing the number of questions she had given him. "so your lucky number is also seven", Milind asks her getting more excited. "it was but not now. Anyhow, you have only 17 minutes left, hurry up", Prachi says sternly and leaves the place. Seeing that Prachi had started the countdown, Milind and other two hurriedly sits around the table and starts reading the questions, "1) what happens when a girl who loves you leaves you?,option a)kill yourself, b) kill her, c) spend your rest of your life thinking about her, d) forget her move in your life", Neev looked confused after hearing the question. "wow this girl is so clever. The question maybe simple but, it has more inner meaning." Ali said going through the question. "the first two optios, suggests you are a weak person. The fourth one declares you as a fickle minded guy", Ali explains with his knowledge of psychology and continues, "the third option is better I think so. Becoz, she thinks that you are faithful to her and may even fall for you." "wow what a nice idea", Neev said teasingly. "no I don't agree. I can't kill myself, or kill her. Or even cannot spend my life thinking about her. So I want to forget about the past and move on. And every girl wants the guys to do. So the option will be the fourth", saying this Milind ticks the fourth option and goes for the next question, " what will you watch when you have the remote in your hand? Options a) serial b) sports c)discovery", Milind starts thinking about it after reading it. "see Milind this question appears to be simple but each channel catches each emotion in it." Ali starts his psychological views. "I think you better tick that serials, as all the girls watch serials." Neev suggests. "no yaar", Milind denies. "don't think you are Mahatma Gandhi or something. Elders say, say thousand lies and do a marriage. Can't you tell a single lie for that girl", Neev says. "I don't want to become a sacrificial goat to that thousand serials, by telling this lie", milind replies sternly and continues, "I think so she also likes sports, so I'm ticking sports." Saying this Milind ticks that option, proceeding to the next question. "how would pass your time when you are at home? Options a) cleaning,b) washing c) cooking, d) going to market", Milind again goes through the question again weirdly, as if he had read it wrong and says, "I think this paper should go to her maid servant, but accidentally came to us." He says sarcastically.
"so what do you think Milind. What are you going to tick", Neev asks him looking at him nervously. "I will tick cooking. Two days she automatically tells no for that horrible cooking", saying he ticks that option and starts reading the other question, "what would you do when you have Rs.100/- with you? Spend fully, save it fully, spend some and save some or give the entire amount to you amount." All three of them stated thinking deeply for what to tick. Milind stands up and starts pacing up and down nervously, murmuring. "100, 100, 100, 100", "hey Milind don't mumble, everyone will think that you are selling something", Neev tries to stop him. "hey Neev, what would Prachi do with that Rs.100/- yaar", he lifts his and finds Prachi standing there before Neev could reply. "ah Prachi 100 years, thinking about you just now", Milind says with the relief. "did you finished it", Prachi asks him in bit tensed. "what is this Prachi, like an invigilator invigilating suddenly, you are adding woes to me. It's taking time to think than to tick", Milind replies, dejected. "there's only 7mins left. I can't neither leaver this paper nor my flight. Be fast yaar. I'll be waiting for you near the boarding", she replies and goes away bit tensed. "in my story once the hero………………." "hey don't start you stupid stories in this tension. If you want to, go to her and tell her that stories and stop her while I finish this." Milind yells at Neev irritatingly. "ok, cool down", neev says and goes back of Prachi. "Prachi can I accompany you till the boarding", neev asks her. Prachi accepts and goes with them. "you know one thing, god makes pairs and send them to the earth. Here this meeting and all are destined by him. All is the play of destiny." Prachi listens to him silently, and Neev continues, "hey Prachi, if that does not match, do you accept him." "you now only said, it's all the game of destiny. What destiny wants, he has to just tick the correct one." Neev smiles at her.
"what do you think about divorce? Wrong, not wrong, given in unavoidable circumstances or don't know. What is this yaar, this girl is speaking about the divorce, without telling me to marry her", Milind says while his nervousness exceeding. "hey Milind why are you so nervous. You were never like this before." Ali asks him seeing Milind in that state. "don't know yaar. For the first time I feeling I'm nothing without her. Ok lets get back to that question." Milind replies in utter desperation. "for this question, yaar even supreme court judge also doesn't have the answer", Ali says to him, nervously. "shit! Why are we still thinking about it, keeping the answer here only. Definetly it is I don't know." He ticks that option. Prachi gets up from there hearing the announcement, "I think we should leave now", Prachi says nervously. "hey just a minute, I'll call him, he'll come", Neev starts dialing the Milind's number. Milind picks up his cell and starting yelling. "hey last question yaar. Tell her to wait for a minute. We'll be there", "Milind she's not listening yaar come soon', Neev says and disconnects the cell. "I think I should go, I think this is a last call. I can't miss my flight, I think you can understand." Prachi says dejected. "hey just a minute he'll be coming", Neev tried to stop her. prachishah_77@yahoo.com. this my email, tell him to mail his answers. She says loudly while going towards her flight. "whom would think are important than others? Parents , brothers and sisters, friends or wife. What type of question yaar. Here everyone are important. We can't do any partiality yaar", Milind says in a dejected tone running hurriedly towards the boarding place. "here the answer is simple every girl thinks, that man considers his wife as important person in his life", Ali suggests. "it can't be like that. The answer is parents. Without them I'm not there, you people are not there, that girl is not there and mainly this journey doesn't exists. And for all, the girl thinks, that if I would not respect my parents, how she expect me to respect her yaar. If she doesn't know that importance I really don't need her at all", Milnd replies running towards the boarding place, ticking the option to the last question.
"I tried my best to stop her Milind but could not", Neev apologies Milind, when they both come there. But Milind ignores him and runs towards the gate, showing his ticket to the security, "sorry sir, with this ticket you can't get through this gate." The security stops him. "but it's urgent. I need to pass an important message to the person in that flight." Milind pleads. "even though you can't go, you can pass the message through the information counter", the security tell him the direction and three of them starts running in that direction. "I think he's Guruji. I think he will definetly help us", neev stops seeing him passing through them. "then what are you waiting for. Go and stop him", Milind yells at him and goes towards Guruji. "sir, please help us", Neev pleads him. "who are you?" the man asks them sarscatiaclly. "sir we don't have much time for that, we need you to do a fovour by passing the letter to a girl in that flight." Neev again pleads him. "I don't want to get into more troubles. What horrible stories will be there in that paper if I open it." He denies to help them. Thinking that it would be better if he himself talk to the person, Milind moves forward, "sir, nothing horrible is there in that paper. It's like I had few hours in this airport to convince a girl." And Milind explained what had happened and everything. "now I should give her the answers. So I request you to just give this paper to that girl. I promise nothing will happen, and if she finds anything like that she just tears the paper and nothing more happens." Milind promises him. "ok", saying this he take the paper and goes towards the flight.
The three of them sits there dejected after running from a long time. "I think somewhere we made a mistake."Ali tries to console Milind. "hey Milind she gave her email id, you can mail her", Neev consoles him, but Milind nods his head in negative. "anyway I can't forget this journey yaar. Lets go to Singapore." Milind says after a long silence. "this is like our Milind", neev sighs a relief, seeing Milind coming back to normal. They walk few steps, but Milind turns back hearing footsteps. He suddenly sees Prachi and Ayesha walking towards them. Milind excitedly runs towards her and stands in front of her, waitng for her answer. She starts blushing, lowers her gaze and nods her head positively. Milind gets over excited , lifts her and starts swirling her. Then he puts her down….. "see PRachi I told you na, our likes will match 1000%. See it matced and you came back. Now, I should buy tickets for you and your friend and we can all go to India together." Milind says excitedly, while Prachi starts blushing more. Milind hops towards Ayesha, who was then smiling, "I'll carry you and your luggage, ok", saying Milind gives her a weird smile. All five of them starts walking. "thanks for coming back", Neev says to Ayesha who kept her stern face, he jerks back. But as Ayesha smiles, he becomes normal. "shall I tell you the truth, Milind", Prachi started after the long silence that prevailed between them. Milind just smiles at her. "actually, none of your answers matched with mine." Milind widens his eyes. "but only two things matched. Our lucky number and that Taj Mahal thing. That's why I came back", Prachi gives him a sweet smile making him fall down. Retaining himself, he says, "actually, this Ali had told all the answers. If I would use my brain, it would have matched I think so", he pushes Ali, while Ali starts beating him for telling lies. Milind, as said he could not forget that journey for his rest of his life. In that journey, he got a precious thing in his life his better half……………………………………….
The End………………. Hope you enjoyed it
