FF: Love, Well almost [Chapter 50,51 - P 35] Mar 21 - Page 23

Part 27 - Oh...that was one heated argument over mail bet husband & wife. He just didn't want her to poke her nose bet his love life and she just want it to set right as she held herself guilty after dhara incident. Rahul already warned ashwin about somebody peeking into his emails indirectly. He wanted to finish this and assured his wife that she will no more see any such mails from ashwin's computer.

Part 28 - poor meera she was frustrated that ashwin wants to meet her namesake boyfriend. It seems like she was trapped in her plan only. good that she warned geet about this.

Part 29 - Oops...geet's darji sent meera a friend's request on mukhpustak'. Lol. I liked this pure translation of facebook. Lol.

Omg...geet is too much. Golden temple as DP of her darji's account. Lol. She was afraid to accept his request as he will misunderstand seeing so many pics of her with diff boys. Koi nahi kudi accept kar le, jo hoga dekha jayega.

She suggested her to say she likes her brother and end this boyfriend plan. But if it was so simple then she wouldn't have lied in first place na. But now she kinda agreed that she had boyfriend then now backing up from that statement will be embarrassing.

Part 30 - sister's letter to her brother hinting on some points. She spilled the secret that both mothers were shortlisted girls for him. but geet hinted him to chose wise whom he knows better than those shortlisted girls. She pointed out to his & meera's email chats and urged him to continue. She already making atmosphere for them. Good sister she was. so soon they were meeting.

Part 31 - Oh I liked how meera warned her about taking things so fast. Her doubt over maan knowing abhinav could be possible. He disappeared the moments AS came into picture.

I feel that geet was too fast in assuming things. Hope that AS will be a good guy and prove geet correct.

Part 32 - New entry Pinky. So new friendship starts bet them. She thanked her for standing up for her when her boyfriend didn't do that. I liked her email name, relates perfect to her.

I like how geet expresses herself with everyone. She too observed that her bf sahil was a jerk.

Good that pinky dumped him. she told her about abhinav's breakup with nayantara. Good that he didn't hide that from her. They are rommies and chit chating via emails. Lol.

Part 33 - nice twist. So finally they are going to meet. Hope that ashwin reply favorably.

Part 34 - finally geet sent email to maan. Hoping that chit-chatting will start now. Oh...he haven't updated his blog. Why.?

Part 35 - he sent automated reply. Was he that mad at her.

she sent a mail with diff id and he caught her again. Seems he was very mad at her.

omg...what a harsh reply that was, full of sarcasms. Really he was a king of jerks.

Good geet. I liked that reply. Seems he was upset that she was dating AS despite his warning.

I liked their verbal fight. Both were not getting back off.

Chutki,

Sorry for the late reply.

I thought you might be busy with your studies and all, which is why I do not disturb you often. Because if you remember this sad old lonely brother, you would write to him. Don't you?

Remember last Diwali, I have not gone home and I was practically the only person working in my department. Not kidding.

I think Diwali is being made the Indian version of Christmas, with all the ads and media forcing people to celebrate it with family, and gifting each other. Not that I mind. Any festival that promotes family time is my favorite.

I think I don't want to be that depressing soul who stays alone in the office for Diwali this time, so yes I do want to go home. I have applied for leaves already but after your information about the prospective brides' photos, I am tempted to take back my leave.

Okay, this is new. My little sister talking about a woman in my life. I will try to be honest with you, because you are a growing woman and though you will always be my baby sister, I am not going to insult your intelligence by brushing your advice away.

I do not know how much do you know exactly about Dhara. And I have not talked about it for years now, but you know I love you very dearly and since it is you, I think you need to know.

Dhara didn't break my heart intentionally. It was doomed from the beginning. She was engaged to someone else. I was new to the city, the village boy inside me has not died by then. I saw her, fell in love with the idea of her. On seeing she was nice to me despite the difference in our societal status, the lack of my english prowess back then, I liked her.

You can always like a person for various reasons Chutki. Sometimes you love a person because of your internal issues, your insecurities that they address without even trying. Maybe to the world, Dhara was a bad person for leading me on, but I know I had been intentionally blind too. I shouldn't have expected her to break her engagement and come with me.

Only after she was gone, I understood that is all in me, whatever I wanted to do with my life. I was a village boy then, I am a village boy now. Just that I chose to change my appearance, my language. I chose to save to be able to help my parents financially.

Rest assured, do not think I am not over Dhara and that I am still in love with her.

I do not think I ever have perfect timing Chutki. Always falling for girls that are taken.

Anyway, how about you and I go home together this Diwali?

Waiting to hear from you.

Yours,

AB.
