TATOOED-KARA
I barged inside his room unannounced. I am going to meet him after one long year so forgive me for forgetting manners. Ever since, he went to that Art school, I don't even get to talk to him.
"Why didn't you reply to my mails? I asked standing in front of him with my hnds on my hips.
"Hello to you too. He said with an amused smile
"Ruddy told me that you always reply to his mails. Why not mine?
"Maybe because I had nothing to reply to a mail that was more or less an autobiography of a certain chirayya.
I gasped loudly with an appalled expression. I did mail him things related to my life which I would have told him in person if he was not a continent away from me. What is wrong with that? That is how you keep friendship alive with your long distance friend. At least that is what Sowmya told me.
"It was my mistake I was trying to make our long distance relationship work. I said
"Relationship? asked Omkara raising his eyebrow
"I meant friendship. I gulped my saliva. "Slip of tongue.
"Gauri, you are now an adult, I believe you even voted in elections last year. I don't think you can afford controversial slip of tongue like this.
I narrowed my eyes at him before sticking out my tongue in a mocking way.
"Ruddy said you have got a cool tattoo. Show it to me.
Omkara lifted his full arm T-Shirt and showed a beautifully tattooed Om on his wrist, below his palm.
"Wow. It looks amazing. Now Shankar ji will always protect you.
"Oh! My pious Gauri. I got this tattoo because it is my name. Not because of your Shankar ji.
"But, I would like to think that it is mark of Shankar ji and he will protect you. I said with an unfading smile. "So? Only one? I asked
"Actually, two.
"Show me the other one.
"If the time is right then I don't have to show you that. You will see it for yourself.
"Huh!! I looked at him confused. "When is this right time?
"Sooner, later or never. He said with a mysterious smile.
