"You have lost your mind for sure! What's wrong with you Pankhuri? How in the world do you believe in such things?"Nimi screamed at Pankhuri while walking up and down their bedroom. "But Nimi, he was so romantic and caring and all. I didn't expect him to look like that."Pankhuri started to sob.
Suddenly Pankhuri's phone started to ring. Pankhuri answered the call without taking note of the number. "Hello jaan. how are you? I am so glad that you accepted me the way I look with all the scars on my face. We shall meet again tomorrow, 4pm at the coffee caf alright? Muacks, love you. Bye honey!" and the guy hang the phone up even before Pankhuri could open her mouth to answer back.
Pankhuri started hitting her forehead with her hands and started to cry. Nimi quickly ran to Pankhuri's side. "Pankhuri, Pankhuri. All okay? What did that guy tell you? Pankhuri, let me give you this advice, it is okay dear that he doesn't meet up to your expectations for looks. The most important thing that you have to look out for is the character. And yes his depth of love for you. I am not saying whatever you did is right. Whatever mess you are in right now is entirely your fault. But what you have to do now is to sort out your idea and make a decision. Its either you want it or don't. Whatever decision you take, I will be by your side supporting you." Nimi told.
Pankhuri wiped her tears and looked into her sister's eyes and gave her a tight hug. Pankhuri knew that no one was in the position to sort the mess she was in right. Pankhuri broke the hug and smiled slightly to her sister and whispered "Thank you Nimi. Let's get to bed now. Good night." Saying that Pankhuri lay on her bed looking up to the celling. Without her realization tears started scrolling down as she started recalling all her conversations with the man whom she had claimed as her Mr Right.
It all started on one fine night when she could not get any sleep and she decided to explore an online chat room, Zumba. She began chatting with several people but none of them were the type she wanted to chat with. All of them wanted to speak of sexual issues and she certainly didn't like it. Just when she was about to log out, thinking that she was wasting her time, a user with the name dude 123 started to chat with her.
Dude123 was someone different in the chatroom. He didn't want to talk about sexual issues and instead was like Pankhuri herself, just bored and wanted to chat with someone. That night was the night that changed Pankhuri's life. Pankhuri and dude123 got along very well and they grew fond of one another that they started chatting on a daily basis for the next 3 months. Once three months were over, Pankhuri realized that slowly she was falling for this guy. From the conversations they had, Pankhuri learnt that dude123 was a good looking guy. He also seemed like he was caring and respectful. All these points were the reasons for Pankhuri to fall for him. On the fourth month, dude123 suddenly proposed to Pankhuri and he stated his interest in her and though they have not met, he said that he felt that Pankhuri was the one for him.
Pankhuri was on cloud nine. She didn't expect that dude123 would also feel the same way as her. Pankhuri immediately confessed her feelings to him. And they decided to exchange their phone number. Every night without fail, they will talk over the phone. Pankhuri liked it and she felt special with the way dude123 treated her. And one day when both of them felt they were ready, they decided to meet up and get to know one another even better and to also at last know their real names.
Pankhuri went to the venue as they had decided and she saw dude123. He was standing right in front of her. He was dressed in a white polo tee and jeans. He did look good but the moment Pankhuri saw his face. Pankhuri almost puked out. Dude123 face had several stitches on his left side of his forehead. "Hi prettylady245, I am your dude123. Thank you so much for coming down. Please come let's sit at the bench there and talk." Pankhuri was in total shock. The person she have imagined all her life looked way better that this guy standing in front of her. Pankhuri felt lost, she didn't know what to do. She just followed him and sat at the bench. The next 30 mins that they spent together was like a daze to Pankhuri. She could not focus on what he was saying. Her heart was fully immersed in the disappointment. The only thing that she could ever remember was his name was Shivam. She didn't even have the guts to speak up.
With that bench scene running through Pankhuri's mind, Pankhuri sat up on her bed. She hugged her knees and started to think carefully. Some part of her wanted Shivam still because he was such a sweet gentleman but another part of her didn't want him as he wasn't good looking at all. Pankhuri tried to reason out with herself and after an hour or so of battling with herself within, she came to a conclusion. She concluded that she did want Shivam because she could never find some as sweet as him in ages to come. With a new light, Pankhuri went to sleep.
The next day, Pankhuri waited for Shivam at the venue he had told her. She had been waiting for 20 minutes and she saw no sight of Shivam. She panicked and she was about to take her phone out when she felt some one tap her shoulder. She turned around and she stared straight into the person's eyes.
Pankhuri was mesmerized by the guy who stood in front of her. He was dressed up in his formal attire and he was looking dashing and hot. Pankhuri only came back to her senses when she heard him speak up. "Hi Miss Pankhuri. I am the actual Dude123 from online chat zumba." He smiled and raised his hands forward for a hand shake. Pankhuri shook his hands and stood there surprised. "No way this guy is mine. He is way too good for me.. He is sooo hot!" Pankhuri thought to herself.
"I can see that you are rather surprised but let me introduce myself. I am Adi. How about you?" Adi said as he sat opposite Pankhuri. "I am Pankhuri. But how can you be dude123? I just met him yesterday. His name is Shivam. What is happening here? Have I been cheated or played around with?" Pankhuri stated with anger. Only Pankhuri knew how scared she was within. She was scared that she was in some danger.
"Pankhuri relax. Yesterday the guy Shivam you met is my friend. I sent him to check and see if you loved me for who I am or for who I look. You passed the test. I can see that your love for me is majorly based for who I am. And I am happy about that Pankhuri. And I am sorry for all the trouble I have put you through. I am real dude123 and I love you my baby Pankhuriu!" Adi said. Pankhuri finally felt relieved. She knew Adi was not lying. Only he calls her Pankhuriu. No one else did know of that nick name. Pankhuri smiled and she blushed. Adi took his hand and placed it on top of Pankhuri's hand and gave it a light squeeze.
And slowly Adi took out a box from his pocket. Adi got up from his seat and went down on his knees in front of Pankhuri and opened his box. "Will you do the honors of being my wife? Will you marry me jaan?" Adi pleaded. Pankhuri didn't know this was coming. She was shocked and happy all at the same time that she shed tears of joy and nodded her head yes.
Adi was extremely happy and put the ring on her finger and he gave a peck on her cheek. Pankhuri was out of her mind and she just did what she felt like doing at that moment. She got up and threw herself at Adi for a hug. She hugged him very tightly and said, "I love you too baby. And I know you are and always be my Mr Right. But I got to confess, I was in a dilemma last night because your friend did look horrible. Sorry. I realized that character is more important than looks and that's explains why I am here today. I hope you will forgive for even having such a dilemma." And with that she kissed him on his forehead. Adi was smirked looking at Pankhuri's reaction. He took her face in his hands and said, "Baby you are also my Miss Right and I love you very much. Your dilemma does not matter now. All that matters is that you are sure about us! And I know we will pull through all obstacles in life together and our love will never die." With that he placed a kiss on her lips sensuously.
