“It’s not my fault, well not totally” I said
“Oh ya, it’s all Priya’s fault. Right! You a jerk dude a jerk” Boney said and zip up and went to the washbasin. I also turned back and started to walk towards washbasin.
“No, I am not saying that man, I am saying...” and before I could complete Boney interrupted by saying
“Oh you better zip up your zip and your mouth as well” I zipped up fast out of embarrassment. We both came out of the washroom and walked towards out booth where Jiya and Priya were sitting. They were discussing about something and I am sure it must be the same as what we were discussing in the washroom.
“Jerk is back” Boney said the moment we reached to the table and girls stopped talking.
“I am sorry guys, It was not intentional” nobody reacted and I went close to Priya, bent down to be more close to her eyes and said “babe, I am so so sorry and I would do anything to make it up to you, please don’t be so sad. I can’t see you this way”
“Well, what did you do know?” a voice came from the back. I turned back and said
“Who the hell invited her?”
“Hi Abby” Boney said
“Hi handsome” Abby said and looked at Jiya and winked at her. Oh I hate this girl.
“What has happened?” Abby said
“Why do you bother?” I said and looked at Priya
“I don’t wana hear it again” Priya said
“And I don’t wana tell it again” I said
“Come on guys, do you know Abby has a PHD in psychology, she could may be help us understand whose fault is in this” Jiya said
“PHD, that’s awesome” Boney said with ‘I am impressed’ voice
“I am not going to tell it” I said and turned my chair.
“Oh, let it be with the kid, I will tell you the story” Boney said
“No” Priya said
“Turn your chair too” Boney replied and continued “Priya was on the bed lying naked”
“Stop” I stood up, turned back and yelled “If she can judge I would be the one who will tell this from how it all started”
“That’s great but whatever I have heard by now, it seems to be your fault Parag” Abby said “I am sorry babes” Abby looked at Priya with pity and gave her a hug.
“Promise me Abby you will never come back to our lives ever again and I will tell the story” I said as she has already created a mess sometime back between Priya and I and now when everything was about to be ok she came in.
“Abby is flying tonight back to her town” Jiya said
“Yes, and I would like you guys to come with me to drop me to airport. You can tell the story in the cab as a gift to me” she said and winked.
“I am In” Boney said
“Me too” Jiya said. I looked at Priya and said
“Okkk whatever” we all started to walk to get her luggage. In few minutes we were in the cab and I started the story.
****Morning with nude Priya start***
It was all started by Priya. We were in her house sitting at the roof top on Friday evening after the office sipping nice tea. When Jiya asked
“Let’s go for shopping?”
“I am in” Priya said as a reflex. I looked at boney and he said
“I am in”
“What, I am surprised you wana go for shopping?” Jiya asked
“No, I said this to Parag. I am in for game night” Boney replied
“Oh come on what is so fun in sitting in a room playing that stupid game” Priya said
“and drinking beer” Boney added
“You may have to do it to know it. Hours just pass by like…” as I was searching for word Jiya added
“Like sleeping”
“Exactly” I replied
“Let’s try that Jiya, what say?” Priya asked to Jiya and she nodded with a little confusion in her head. We all got excited as if girls started to play all the problems would be solved and we would have more fun. As it turned out few things were are made for few people. It was 2 hours now and we were still playing with no fun at all. Boney and I were sitting on the bean bags at the two corner of the room. Priya and Jiya were on the couch playing some game name ‘Ms. Pinky’ which was so mind-numbing even the Opera would sleep on that.
I gave a look to boney and signaled him to get up and come in kitchen. We went to the kitchen and I said in a very very low voice, as Priya has listening capabilities of dog
“This is killing me man”
“I know, do you wana have some fun” Boney said
“hell ya” words pop out of my mouth
“Wait and watch, you take this beer and go sit” Boney said and walked out of the house like a cat. In just 2 mins he came up back and I looked at him signaling him ‘what the hell, what you did’ and he just signaled me ‘wait and watch’. Within 5 mins the power went off.
“Ohhhhh” I made a sound as I got what he did, but don’t know how he did it.
“Oh no, Ms. Pink was all set with makeup and new dress and was set to go out” Jiya said
“I would have kicked your ass as I knew what you were dressing in and I settled the party with a theme.” Priya said
“So, why are you girls taking about it, the game must have been auto saved” I said and I could see even in the darkness that Boney smacked his hand on his forehead as why did I told them this.
“What is the plan now? It is just 9.” Boney said
“and I am hungry” Jiya said
“Ya, now you are hungry” I said with a low voice. Jiya looked at me and before she could say anything. Boney said
“as we already had couple of drinks, let’s have some more. Priya and Jiya you both set up for dinner and Parag and I will get some Chinese parceled from ‘Wonton’, what say?” Everyone nodded.
“The candles are on fridge top” Boney said while we were going out. We went to Wonton and ordered the food and then as per Boney’s plan we went to wine shop and purchased some wine. His idea was to make the night a little romantic. We got the food and wine and were very happy as tonight we will get some good time to spend with girls. When we reached home we were surprised. The girls were back on the game and the table was half set with candles lying and plates stacked up.
“Wow, you got the power back?” Boney said
“Yes, Jiya’s brother called and she was telling him about the game and the power cut and he said may the meter got dripped off and so we went downstairs and guess what it was just dripped.” Priya said and then she looked at me. I had a sad face and so she figured out that it was planned. She paused the game and asked “What’s happening?”
“Nothing, Boney and I wanted to spend some good time with you two and so we planned to drip the meter and black out. We thought we will have some good food with candle lights and Wine” I pulled wine while saying.
“Ohh that’s so sweet” Jiya said and came and gave Boney a hug and then she gave me a hug. Priya was still looking interested in game but she dropped off and came and gave us a hug. We switched off the lights and had the candle light dinner. It was good food with good people and nice wine. The wine made all of us a little more drunk then we were after beers.
“Now, how should I drive to drop you girls home” I said
“May be we can call a cab” Priya said
“That won’t be safe, it is 12 in the night” Jiya said
“I don’t know why we all are discussing this, why can’t you two stay here” Boney said while trying to get the last drop of wine from his glass
“I like it, it has been long” I said and looked at Priya
“ohhh I smell something fishy” Jiya said
“Shut up” Priya said with embarrassment in her voice. So anyways we all went to bed, with correct partners. I don’t’ wana tell what happened then but before I tell you about the morning I wana tell about my friend Pam. Pam is my neighbor and we are friend through a window. As our windows are not even 6 feet away we talk to each other all the time. She has a habit of playing a particular song in the morning and I get up listing the same song every day. Anyways, today morning when the song started to play I got up throwing my comforter away. I pulled up my pajama and opened the window to wish her good morning. I totally forgot that Priya was sleeping next to me. I opened the window and said
“Good morning Pam” She looked at me and said after a pause of 30 sec
“I am sure your morning is good, I am not gonna waste my wishes on you today” Just then it stuck to me and I threw the comforter on Priya that woke her up. Priya was looking all confused and to break the ice Pam said
“Hi Priya, very good morning”
“Hi” Priya said and pulled the sheet up to cover her up. She looked very embarrassed. It was a picture perfect. Priya was covering herself with comforter with embarrassment in her eyes, I was looking at her with apology in my eyes and Pam was smiling on the other side of the window.
****Morning with nude Priya End***
“Picture perfect” Priya said
“I mean that was the story, I didn’t mean in a funny way. You know I feel sorry” I said
“Come on you are enjoying telling the story” Boney added the spices. I looked at Boney and waved him to understand the seriousness of the plot.
“Can I tell my side of the story, if you may please” Priya said and looked at me. I opened both my arms with palms upside signing that all yours honey.
***Story from Priya’s side Start ***
It was a beautiful morning as I was waking up next to my love of life. I opened my eyes and saw him sleeping like a baby. I covered him up with the comforter and went back to sleep while looking at him. Just in few minutes I could feel that there is no cover on me and my butt is exposed, I did not realized that my butt was not just exposed to my love but it was on a display, as my boyfriend is talking to her friend and didn’t even bother to see me first he woke up. Kissing is way far in my dreams now.
His friend; laughing at the situation inside says “Hi Priya, very good morning” and I am not able to understand that why is the window still open? On top of it my boyfriend sweetly says
“Hey, I didn’t see this coming. Pam I will talk to you later, you have a nice day.” And she replies
“You too can try “BUTT” I should say best of luck today” and laughed. Even Then my boyfriend did not closed the window rather the other girl closes and he turns to me and says
“Funny morning, sorry honey. I will make some coffee, you fresh up” and walks out of the room yelling his roommates name “Boney, wake up buddy”
***Story from Priya’s side End***
The car was silent and we could just hear the sound of wind. Just then the driver turned around and said
“No good sir, if my wife would have been there instead of madam. You would have had plasters all over you. No good” I was like ‘what the hell’ and I said
“Stop the car please” The driver pulled over to side and I got down from the front seat. Priya was sitting on the window and I went to her side and opened the door. I said nothing I started doing sit ups holding my ears as a sign of apology. She came out and hold me up and before she could say anything she had tears started to flow from her eyes and I hugged tightest possible. I said
“I am sorry for being so ignorant, I am sorry for being immature, I am sorry for being a jerk. I am not like this all the time. I love and I would be a better boyfriend” I was hugging her and I could see Jiya giving me a thumps up, may be saying good job Parag. Boney said
“You can to be a good boyfriend, but spring comes back to its place one day” Priya tuned back and gave him a look and he said
“Just kidding, please don’t kill me” everyone had similes on their faces now and we boarded the cab back. We were running late for airport but we made it on time and waved our dear friend or whatever Abby a good bye. I was hoping I see her never again.
****
Well live give so many moments which make us learn so much. The situation was different from where Parag was looking at and it was totally different from Priya point of view. Without communication it would have been there in Priya’s heart forever, thanks to Abby I would say. The important thing is to remember that everyone makes mistake but our friend and loved ones are the one who forgive us for even bigger ones, so just be honest with them.

Chapter 4: Chemistry with Stranger
It was a regular Sunday morning. By Morning I mean at 11 O’clock. Boney was cooking his favorite Sunday sandwich with his special dressings. I was busy in cleaning the Saturday nights mess as girls were about to come. After cleaning the house I was setting up the coffee table with some plates and glasses for a good brunch. I heard the door opening and I turned back and saw girls are here
“Hey girls how are doing?” I said
“Good” Jiya said and went in the kitchen to help Boney
“Missed you dear” Priya said hugged me. I kissed her and said “Me too”
“So what’s cooking in there?” Priya asked Boney
“What else” Jiya replied and it was understood that Boney is cooking sandwich. Boney and Jiya came out with tons of sandwiches and then Boney said
“I have a surprise after these sandwiches so keep a small space in your tummies” No one reacted because we knew the options of surprises he can give and on one was exited.
“Anyone up for juice” Jiya asked while going towards the kitchen
“I will have” Priya said
“Pass me a bear would you” Boney said
“What? It’s Sunday morning dude?” I said
“You want something Parag?” Jiya asked from the kitchen
“No, I am good” I replied and we started to eat. It was a normal conversation about our work, movies, managers, managers and managers and just when we were about to get a surprise dish from Boney someone rang the bell. We all looked at each other as we all were in the room and no one was expecting anyone on Sunday noon. Jiya got up and opened the door.
“Who is it?” I asked
“Wait” Jiya said and turned back. She had flowers in her hand
“Am I missing something? Is it your birthday Parag?” Boney asked by looking at the flowers
“No, but who is that for?” I asked and looked at Jiya. She looked at the card and said
“For you, it says ‘Thanks for your help. I want to take you out on dinner so that I can thank you better’ and then there is a smiley” Jiya read the card in the flowers. I looked at Priya and she was turning red. I ran towards Jiya and pulled the card
“A beer on Sunday morning doesn’t feel so bad, hun!!!” Boney said and I looked at him
“Who is this Simlin?” I said with surprising voice
“I heard this name somewhere… oohh oohh she is the one from railway station, isn’t she?” Boney said with excitement in his voice. I looked at him and nodded a no as Priya was sitting there and I have forgotten to tell her this story.
“Parag” Priya called my name so that I should start explaining
“Ohhh it’s gonna be interesting” Boney said and Jiya came and sat on the couch. They both were looking to us as if they are watching a movie or something.
“It’s nothing, just slipped from mind to tell you about her” I said
“About your new girlfriend” Priya said with anger in her voice. Jiya and Boney got more adjusted and comfortable to listen to my answer. All eyes on me now
“I met her in the station and helped her that’s it.” I said to make it crisp and clear
“And she now knows your address and asking for dinner DATE” Boney said giving stress on ‘date’
“Boney, don’t be so mean.” Jiya said and looked at him and continued “But we need to know what happened”
“In detail” Priya added
“Ok, you remember I went to pick up my bag which my mom sent with my friend” I said and looked at Boney to agree on my statement
“Ya, I do” Boney said
“Well I met her that day, I guess on Wednesday”
***Meet the Stranger Start***
I reached to railway station at around 6:30 in the morning as the train would arrive at 6:30. I was on time and looked at the train status screen to check the platform. The train was scheduled at platform 1 and a few minutes late.
I purchased the platform ticket and went in. I was sitting on a bench and sipping tea, waiting for the train. A cute girl came and sat next to me. She was traveling someplace and I guess she was going for a marriage as she had lots of baggage. After like 5-10 minutes she said
“Excuse me” I removed my headphones and looked at her
“Can you keep an eye on my luggage, I will just be back” she said and I nodded along and pushed my headphones back. I resumed to my game on mobile but at the same time I was getting thoughts like, what we read in news paper. May be there are bombs in these bags or may be dead body. I was a little scared so I thought I should concentrate on my game. In another 10 mins she came back and said
“Hey, where is my red small bag?” She was looking at me for an answer
“What bag? No one came here” I said while plugging out my head phones and putting my mobile in my pocket.
“You are kidding? Tell me you are kidding” She said with all confused voice and she was looking so tensed
“I am sorry but I didn’t see anyone near your bag” I said and started to look around for someone.
“How can you be so irresponsible? I just asked you keep an eye on bags for not more than 5 minutes. How???” She said as if I am her boyfriend or husband
“I am sorry mam, but if you can’t take care of your own luggage I can’t help it” I said and was about to leave
“Oh my god!!! That bag had all my money what my father gave for the stay” she said with a low voice. I wanted to leave but she was looking so sad, I decided to be there and console her. I sat next to her and said
“I am sorry, let’s try if we can find it”
“I don’t think we can find it. My father gave me the bag and told me to keep it with me. It’s my fault. How am I suppose to pay the hostel fee now. If I will tell my father he won’t let me be here and he will call me back to Chandigarh” She said
*** Meet the Stranger Interrupted***
“Wait, and you paid her hostel fee? Didn’t you?” Boney said
“Did she here?” Priya asked
“No she wasn’t here… or was she. You are such a dork man; I never thought you will do this with Priya. I hate you” Boney said with all drama in his voice
“No, nothing happened, do you wana listen to what happened. Boney you not need to be a drama queen” I said
“Cut him some slack guys, Parag, tell us what happened” Jiya said
“Anyways I told her” I said and continued the story
*** Meet the Stranger continued***
“Listen lets go and keep your bags in cloak room and meanwhile the train would come and I will pick my bag from my friend and then we will look for yours” I said and looked at her. She was breaking into tears and said while crying
“I am sorry I yelled at you” and then she gave a hug to me. I consoled her and then we went to the cloak room to keep her baggage. Just then my train came and I saw Abhi ‘my friend’ getting down from the train. I ran to him and she came along me.
“Hey buddy how are you, man” I asked him while hugging him
“I am doing ok, tired of dragging the weight of you bag” Abhi said in a funny way
“Oh really then drop it till home” I responded I the same fashion.
“Hi Priya, I have heared a lot about you, it is nice to meet you” Abhi said while extending his hand towards Simlin
“Hi” she said in a confusing voice and did handshake with him
“She is not Priya, she is…” then I stopped as till now I haven’t asked her name
“Simlin” she said. Abi looked at me with his one eyebrow raising high. He leaned towards me and whispered “Way to go buddy, you don’t even know her name” then he leaned back and said out loud
“It is nice to meet you”
“Same here” Simlin said
“Hey thanks for the bag dude, I will call sometime we gotta go” I said and looked at Simlin and she nodded.
“Oh I guess, ok will see you guys later…” He said and left. We went back to the cloak room to give my bag as well. Now my mind started to work, what are possible ways to find that bugger thief. The first thing that came in my mind was to go to the loading room and ask the coolies about local thieves here. So we went there. It was dark and smelly, like fishes. The bikes were parked on one side and lots of cartoons all tied in rough cloths. It was dusty so I asked Simlin
“Why don’t you stay out, it’s too messy for you”
“No I want to come” she said and I nodded along, understanding her curiosity. I spotted an old coolie there and went to him and said
“Hello” he didn’t even heard me and I looked at Simlin showing how pathetic these guys are and so she tried
“Hello, excusme” not just one, five of them turned back. They were looking at her as if they haven’t seen a girl from long. Then one of them came out from the group
“Yes, what happened? You were not suppose to come in sir” He said while looking at me
“We are sorry, I lost my bag on platform so we thought we can ask if you know the local thieves around so that I can find that bag” Simlin said and looked at me to take confirmation if that is how it was suppose to be said
“Did you go to the railway police?” He asked
“No” Simlin said.
“Then go to them first” He said and turned back to do his work. She looked at me again but this time with an angry face with such a bad idea.
“Police don’t work, I know” I said while coming out from the room. Then we went to police and he took an interview of two of us and wrote a complained and asked to come after 2-3 days to check. I gave Simlin the same look as she gave me after we had a conversation with coolie.
“I know Police don’t work” She said and we laughed and then she continued “what do we do now?”
“I don’t know how your bag was? What all do you have in it?” I asked out of curiosity
“It was a red Fast-track bag. I have around 20 thousand in it and all my degree and marksheets” she said and got depressed again
“May be we can look for it around that place where we were sitting.” I said and we were going towards that place back. I saw a young guy holding the same fast-track bag. He wasn’t looking that rich to buy that bag, rather he was looking a rowdy must be a girls bag, why does he has it. I didn’t even gave it another thought and ran towards him. Simlin yelled from the back
“Parag” as I didn’t even turn back she started to run behind me. I fetched the bag from the boy and pushed him. He got unbalanced and was about to fall. He controlled himself and yelled at me while taking a grip on the bag
“What the hell”
“Leave my bag you bugger” I yelled. Simlin came close and yelled “that looks like my bag Parag, don’t leave it”
“Oh what the hell” he said and was trying to push me but I was standing rough. Just then when I was about to pull it to me someone hit me from the back and I heard a voice
“Leave that you moron” unfortunately it was a girls voice and I looked back. She was a girl and somehow I fell down and lost the grip of bag. She took the bag from the boy and hit me again twice with the same bag.
“Stop stop” I said and rolled back and stood up. I saw there were so many people around us, watching the little play in which a boy got hit by a girl.
“This is my bag you moron” She said again. I looked at Simlin while easing my pain
“Looks the same, I am sorry” Simlin said with low volume
“We are sorry, we lost out bag and it was just like that, I am so so sorry” I said with pin in my voice
“Do we look like thief” She yelled again
“I am sorry” I said holding my abs. The guy picked the suitcase and she hit me softly again with the same bag and walked out
“ouch” I yelled in pain and looked at Simlin.
“Let’s go and get you some water” Simlin said. We went to a shop and I said
“I am fine; I will get some water and soda to drink” She nodded and I went to the shop.
“Bro, get me a coke and a water bottle” I said to the shopkeeper and then I saw there is a red bag sitting at the back stool in the shop. So, I asked him
“Bro, is that bag yours?” He looked at the bag and nodded in no and said
“No, a girl came in the morning to get some tea and she forgot it here, I thought she might come back.” I looked at him and gave an awkward silence and then I turned back and yelled
“Simlin” She looked at me and I didn’t say a word, she came to me and I said with anger and frustration in my voice
“Is that your bag?”
“Oh, you found it, yes that is my bag, oh wow” she was jumping with happiness and gave me tight hug
“Ooh Oohh Ouch” I said with pain. Then the shopkeeper gave her the bag and we came and sat on bench. It was silent for sometime while she was checking her bag and then she said
“Thanks” and she looked at me. My eyes were red and so she said “sorry” with shrinking her nose like a cute little girl. I was flustered but it was funny as well so I couldn’t stop but laughed out loud. She got relaxed and then I proposed to drop her to her hostel.
We collected our bags from cloak room and I dropped her and came back home.
****meeting with stranger end***
I looked at Priya as if now you understand it was not a big deal. Priya was still confused and she said after taking a long breath
“I guess it is fine then”
“No no, how come she has your address” Boney said and mysteriously raise both his eyebrows. I said in plain English without even thinking twice
“I gave it to her thinking if she might need any help as she is new in the town, any more question” I was still looking at Boney and he said
“No question by me sir” he said like a commando and I looked at Priya and said
“Hey, listen, I can’t believe I got accused because I helped a girl find her bag” Priya didn’t respond, may be she was thinking about it and Boney said
“Ya, don’t worry she would not date him. He got hit by a girl” he said and raised his hand to Jiya for a high five. Jiya said
“You accused coolies, a young boy, hit by a girl trice, made a decision of finding thief by yourself instead of going to police and hit by a girl”
“You said that already” I replied as a reflex
“Oh yes Mr. Sherlock Holmes” Boney said while laughing, Jiya caught his laughter and then Priya and I had no option but to break into laugh. Just then my phone started to rang and it was silent. Boney said
“I bet it’s her” I leaned towards the phone said “it’s my mom” and picked up the phone and went to balcony. I couldn’t hear much but still could hear them laughing and then I heard Priya saying
“Whatever he is an hero, at least for me” and then Boney said
“Still it can never go back that he got hit by a girl in the public place” and they started to laugh again
****
Whatever we may do in a situation, it may be making a fool out of you or being a hero, our friends can always find a way to make fun of it. At the end what you remember is the fun part of it so keep going and don’t stop making mistakes, moreover don’t feel shameful telling your friends about it, they gonna make it a bigger memory a better memory.
“Hey girls how are doing?” I said
“Good” Jiya said and went in the kitchen to help Boney
“Missed you dear” Priya said hugged me. I kissed her and said “Me too”
“So what’s cooking in there?” Priya asked Boney
“What else” Jiya replied and it was understood that Boney is cooking sandwich. Boney and Jiya came out with tons of sandwiches and then Boney said

“I don’t think we can find it. My father gave me the bag and told me to keep it with me. It’s my fault. How am I suppose to pay the hostel fee now. If I will tell my father he won’t let me be here and he will call me back to Chandigarh” She said
*** Meet the Stranger Interrupted***
“Wait, and you paid her hostel fee? Didn’t you?” Boney said
“Did she here?” Priya asked
“No she wasn’t here… or was she. You are such a dork man; I never thought you will do this with Priya. I hate you” Boney said with all drama in his voice
“No, nothing happened, do you wana listen to what happened. Boney you not need to be a drama queen” I said
“Cut him some slack guys, Parag, tell us what happened” Jiya said
“Anyways I told her” I said and continued the story
*** Meet the Stranger continued***
“Listen lets go and keep your bags in cloak room and meanwhile the train would come and I will pick my bag from my friend and then we will look for yours” I said and looked at her. She was breaking into tears and said while crying
“I am sorry I yelled at you” and then she gave a hug to me. I consoled her and then we went to the cloak room to keep her baggage. Just then my train came and I saw Abhi ‘my friend’ getting down from the train. I ran to him and she came along me.
“Hey buddy how are you, man” I asked him while hugging him
“I am doing ok, tired of dragging the weight of you bag” Abhi said in a funny way
“Oh really then drop it till home” I responded I the same fashion.
“Hi Priya, I have heared a lot about you, it is nice to meet you” Abhi said while extending his hand towards Simlin
“Hi” she said in a confusing voice and did handshake with him
“She is not Priya, she is…” then I stopped as till now I haven’t asked her name
“Simlin” she said. Abi looked at me with his one eyebrow raising high. He leaned towards me and whispered “Way to go buddy, you don’t even know her name” then he leaned back and said out loud
“It is nice to meet you”
“Same here” Simlin said
“Hey thanks for the bag dude, I will call sometime we gotta go” I said and looked at Simlin and she nodded.
“Oh I guess, ok will see you guys later…” He said and left. We went back to the cloak room to give my bag as well. Now my mind started to work, what are possible ways to find that bugger thief. The first thing that came in my mind was to go to the loading room and ask the coolies about local thieves here. So we went there. It was dark and smelly, like fishes. The bikes were parked on one side and lots of cartoons all tied in rough cloths. It was dusty so I asked Simlin
“Why don’t you stay out, it’s too messy for you”
“No I want to come” she said and I nodded along, understanding her curiosity. I spotted an old coolie there and went to him and said
“Hello” he didn’t even heard me and I looked at Simlin showing how pathetic these guys are and so she tried
“Hello, excusme” not just one, five of them turned back. They were looking at her as if they haven’t seen a girl from long. Then one of them came out from the group
“Yes, what happened? You were not suppose to come in sir” He said while looking at me
“We are sorry, I lost my bag on platform so we thought we can ask if you know the local thieves around so that I can find that bag” Simlin said and looked at me to take confirmation if that is how it was suppose to be said
“Did you go to the railway police?” He asked
“No” Simlin said.
“Then go to them first” He said and turned back to do his work. She looked at me again but this time with an angry face with such a bad idea.
“Police don’t work, I know” I said while coming out from the room. Then we went to police and he took an interview of two of us and wrote a complained and asked to come after 2-3 days to check. I gave Simlin the same look as she gave me after we had a conversation with coolie.
“I know Police don’t work” She said and we laughed and then she continued “what do we do now?”
“I don’t know how your bag was? What all do you have in it?” I asked out of curiosity
“It was a red Fast-track bag. I have around 20 thousand in it and all my degree and marksheets” she said and got depressed again
“May be we can look for it around that place where we were sitting.” I said and we were going towards that place back. I saw a young guy holding the same fast-track bag. He wasn’t looking that rich to buy that bag, rather he was looking a rowdy must be a girls bag, why does he has it. I didn’t even gave it another thought and ran towards him. Simlin yelled from the back
“Parag” as I didn’t even turn back she started to run behind me. I fetched the bag from the boy and pushed him. He got unbalanced and was about to fall. He controlled himself and yelled at me while taking a grip on the bag
“What the hell”
“Leave my bag you bugger” I yelled. Simlin came close and yelled “that looks like my bag Parag, don’t leave it”
“Oh what the hell” he said and was trying to push me but I was standing rough. Just then when I was about to pull it to me someone hit me from the back and I heard a voice
“Leave that you moron” unfortunately it was a girls voice and I looked back. She was a girl and somehow I fell down and lost the grip of bag. She took the bag from the boy and hit me again twice with the same bag.
“Stop stop” I said and rolled back and stood up. I saw there were so many people around us, watching the little play in which a boy got hit by a girl.
“This is my bag you moron” She said again. I looked at Simlin while easing my pain
“Looks the same, I am sorry” Simlin said with low volume
“We are sorry, we lost out bag and it was just like that, I am so so sorry” I said with pin in my voice
“Do we look like thief” She yelled again
“I am sorry” I said holding my abs. The guy picked the suitcase and she hit me softly again with the same bag and walked out
“ouch” I yelled in pain and looked at Simlin.
“Let’s go and get you some water” Simlin said. We went to a shop and I said
“I am fine; I will get some water and soda to drink” She nodded and I went to the shop.
“Bro, get me a coke and a water bottle” I said to the shopkeeper and then I saw there is a red bag sitting at the back stool in the shop. So, I asked him
“Bro, is that bag yours?” He looked at the bag and nodded in no and said
“No, a girl came in the morning to get some tea and she forgot it here, I thought she might come back.” I looked at him and gave an awkward silence and then I turned back and yelled
“Simlin” She looked at me and I didn’t say a word, she came to me and I said with anger and frustration in my voice
“Is that your bag?”
“Oh, you found it, yes that is my bag, oh wow” she was jumping with happiness and gave me tight hug
“Ooh Oohh Ouch” I said with pain. Then the shopkeeper gave her the bag and we came and sat on bench. It was silent for sometime while she was checking her bag and then she said
“Thanks” and she looked at me. My eyes were red and so she said “sorry” with shrinking her nose like a cute little girl. I was flustered but it was funny as well so I couldn’t stop but laughed out loud. She got relaxed and then I proposed to drop her to her hostel.
We collected our bags from cloak room and I dropped her and came back home.
****meeting with stranger end***
I looked at Priya as if now you understand it was not a big deal. Priya was still confused and she said after taking a long breath
“I guess it is fine then”
“No no, how come she has your address” Boney said and mysteriously raise both his eyebrows. I said in plain English without even thinking twice
“I gave it to her thinking if she might need any help as she is new in the town, any more question” I was still looking at Boney and he said
“No question by me sir” he said like a commando and I looked at Priya and said
“Hey, listen, I can’t believe I got accused because I helped a girl find her bag” Priya didn’t respond, may be she was thinking about it and Boney said
“Ya, don’t worry she would not date him. He got hit by a girl” he said and raised his hand to Jiya for a high five. Jiya said
“You accused coolies, a young boy, hit by a girl trice, made a decision of finding thief by yourself instead of going to police and hit by a girl”
“You said that already” I replied as a reflex
“Oh yes Mr. Sherlock Holmes” Boney said while laughing, Jiya caught his laughter and then Priya and I had no option but to break into laugh. Just then my phone started to rang and it was silent. Boney said
“I bet it’s her” I leaned towards the phone said “it’s my mom” and picked up the phone and went to balcony. I couldn’t hear much but still could hear them laughing and then I heard Priya saying
“Whatever he is an hero, at least for me” and then Boney said
“Still it can never go back that he got hit by a girl in the public place” and they started to laugh again
****
Whatever we may do in a situation, it may be making a fool out of you or being a hero, our friends can always find a way to make fun of it. At the end what you remember is the fun part of it so keep going and don’t stop making mistakes, moreover don’t feel shameful telling your friends about it, they gonna make it a bigger memory a better memory.
Chapter 3: Chemistry of how we met
On Jiya’s return from her mom’s house we all planned to meet at the café again. It was on the Sunday night when I and Priya were at the coffee house. I was just thinking that, thank god Cheery is not around. Just then I saw Boney was coming with a new girl. I signaled Priya to look back
“Hey guys, what’s up?” Boney said and we were still in a shock by looking at the new girl not Jiya and Boney came and said
“Meet, Abhilasha, or call her Abby, isn’t it” Before we could say ‘hi’ Boney looked at her and they both giggled and she said “Hi, you can call me Abby”
“Hi Abby” Priya said with perfect stress on ‘Abby’
“Hey” I said and just then I saw Jiya coming from the door, she waived from the door. I went and hugged her. She came to our seat and Priya also hugged her. We got settled down and Jiya started with her story of trip to her mom’s. She told us that Abby is going to live with her for a while as she got a new job in town. So I asked Abby
“So, what do you do?” before she could answer Boney said with excitement
“She is a fashion designer, isn’t it interesting?”
“Yes it is, does it excite you Jiya?” I looked at Jiya and asked. Jiya gave me a smile which conveyed me everything is fine. I also knew that it is Boney’s habit to get attracted to any new smart girl so I was also fine with his weird behavior.
“I am actually designer for kids cloths” she said and Boney was about to say something and knowing him well I cut him off and said
“That is so cute Boney, what say?” He understood where I am going and gave a look to me and said with less exciting voice
“I guess yes” and then said “I am going to get some coffee, anyone else need anything. Jiya lemon tea for ya?” and gave a smile to her. She acted as cool as she is and nodded her head.
“One mocachillo for me, slim milk with sugar free” Abby said, Boney nodded and went to get coffees. I started to ask Jiya about her mom’s health and about her brother. Priya was busy with her mobile texting someone. Boney came back with coffee and Abby said
“Thanks, you are such a darling” Boney looked at me thinking ‘what the hell is she saying am I a puppy’ I smiled and just then Abby said again
“Can ask you something Parag?”
“Ya sure” I said sipping my coffee
“Do you have problem with Boney?” She said with her fake British accent. I looked at Boney and said with pause after every word
“Why would you say that?”
“Nothing, it’s just when all three of us came you went all the way to the door to hug Jiya but you didn’t hugged Boney and then you were being rude to him too” she said pointing out to my behavior in past couple of minutes.
“Not that it is your business, but Boney is my best buddy” I replied with assertiveness in my voice
“It is because Parag had a crush on Jiya” Boney said with his funny voice
“Oh he is back” I said and looked at Priya
“What, what was that, even I don’t know this?” Priya said with excitement
“Seriously honey it was nothing, just confusion” I said to avoid this conversation
“Wait, they both are a couple?” Abby had to ask
“Yes they are from past few months” Boney said
“Ok, I never told you this as it is not a big deal” I said while looking at Priya
“Do you wana?” Priya said with angry voice
“Hey Priya, no big deal, I was just kidding” Boney said and gave a pause. Nobody spoke for a while and so Boney said
“It was around 6 years back, I was studding in Delhi...” Before Boney say anymore word, I said
“If they wana listen to this first thing is I will tell this story because I don’t want Boney to add his spices to it. Second I want to first tell you how Boney and I met so that you will know how good friends we are.” I gave a look to Abby. Everyone nodded along and I started the story
***How we met start***
It was long back around 6 years. I was doing my engineering from a town in Jabalpur, which is not a very big city. I and two of my friends went to Delhi for a vacation to see the so called city. It was a beautiful weather that day and winters were about to start. The winds were high and I was feeling like I am ready to fall in love with one of these beautiful chicks.
“How come all the girls are so hot” Rajat, one of my friends said while gawking at girls
“I know buddy, why didn’t we came to Delhi for studies… ohh see that one dude” Anand, another friend of mine said with feeling in his voice as if he could actually be one of these girls boyfriend. I was busy looking at a girl, she was stunning. White skin, cute looks and what a figure.
“Guys, wait for me I will be back” I said and ran towards an auto. I saw her taking an auto and I told my auto guy to follow her. After a long chase of some 7KM she got down and left the auto. I also left my auto. I was going towards her with nothing in my head, just then she called one of her friend.
“Hey, I am waiting outside, are you coming?” she looked at me and I went close to her and asked her
“Do you know where is 32/6 C?”
“I don’t know” She said with a carefree tone and I started to walk slow looking at the numbers of the houses. Then she got a call
***how we met interrupted***
“Wait are you telling a story of how you met Boney or Jiya?” Priya asked. I looked at Boney and smiled and said
“It is a how I met Boney and I don’t like any disturbance in my past life. Can I go back now” Priya nodded in confusion and I resumed my story
***how we met continued***
So she got a call and she picked up and said
“Hey, I am at Ruby’s place, we will reach Ivy at 9, ok” and she hung up the call. I knew where she will be tonight and so I went back to my friend. We reached Ivy in the night at 9 and were sitting inside. I was waiting for her to come. It was not late when she came with 2 more guys. I thought I should not back off may be they are just friends. So while dancing I reached close to her and looked at her. She looked at me too and then I gave her a smile
“Hey, did we meet today?” I said with loud voice as the music was loud. She nodded and said
“Yes, you were lost and you are still, this is not the place you are looking for” and turned around. I got a clue that this girl is not into me at all. I went back to my friends who were sitting at the bar and I ordered Tequila shots. Now this was the first time I was about to drink shots. As I was from a small town I never had much drinks, but that night was different, no parents, no worries so I had 4 shots and may be 2-3 beers. I was looking at that girl and to divert me from her Rajat said
“Do you wana go out for smoke, its loud here” I nodded and we three went out. We light up the cigarettes and I just took the first drag and ran to the corner to puke. I was puking and both of my friends were holding me from either side. A guy came and said
“Have some lemon water” he gave a glass of water with lemon. I took the glass and drank the water. Then I looked at him and said
“Thanks man”
“No worries, shit happens. Are your feeling better?” He said. I looked at him again and this time with more concentration. He looked like a brat, a proper Delhi guy with lots of money and girls. Then I said
“I am Parag”
“I am Boney” He said while nodding his head a bit, may be a style which I couldn’t understand
“So, are you new here, never saw you before in this club” He asked as if he is a regular
“Yes, we are from Jabalpur came to city for a visit. What about you” I said while lighting up another cigarette
“I am from Delhi, welcome to our city. I hope you have fun. Take care” he said and gave a light punched on my shoulder and left
“Oh wow man, he is cool. You got to be like him if want girls” Rajat said, I looked at him and said
“Fake” and nodded like him and we all laughed. The next few days in Delhi were great and we had most of the fun.
Our train was from New Delhi station was at around 9 in the night. So we started at 8 from our hotel. We never thought there would be so much of traffic. If I had to go to station in Jabalpur from my house it would not take more than 15 mins. So by the time we reached station it was 9:10 and we left all our hopes of catching the train. Even then the moment auto stopped we ran into the station and saw that the train has just started. We ran towards the train and I was close to the door when I saw Boney stating at the door and I yelled
“Dude” He looked at me and gave me a hand. In the mean while Rajat and Anad got into other compartments of the train. I said
“Thanks again man”
“No worries, shit happens” he said in the exact tone as the other night.
“Right, which Compartment is this?”
“This is S2, where do you wana go?” He asked me
“Wow, mine is also S2.” I said and started to look for my seat. I guess Boney went to the bathroom and I thought I would look for him and thank him again. Before I could go anywhere he came and said
“No way, which seat is yours?”
“43” I said
“Mine is 46, such a coincidence” Boney said
“What a coincidence” I said whiling looking for my friends “hey Rajat here” I yelled as I saw them coming from other Compartment “Thank god” I said and then it clicked in my mind, what the hell this guys is doing in this train. He said he is from Delhi so after Rajat and Anand came and shook hand with him with a surprise and got settled I said
“So where are you going?”
“Aaahhh, me?” he said as if there was someone else who I would ask. There were only four of us.
“yahan” I said with a tone and looked at Rajat to prove my point that he is fake
“I am going to Narsihgad” he said with shame in his voice
“I knew it, you are not from Delhi” I said with a proud and loud voice
“Be cool man, I just wanted to be cool that’s it. Anyways I am from Narsihgad and doing my engineering from Delhi” Boney said. As Jabalpur is very close to Narsihgar and for anything he must have been coming to Jabalpur for all his childhood, we had a lot in common to talk. So after a few discussions I asked him
“Hey, can I ask you a question”
“Ya sure, anything” Boney said in made up cool voice again
“First stop acting cool, I know where you are from now. Second I wanted to ask, there was a girl with you that night, she was kind a cute”
“Ohh you liked her did you?” Boney said in a very cool voice so I anticipated that she is just his friend and I can talk about her more
“Ya I did, she was cute and beautiful. She solved my purpose of coming to Delhi.” I said to be clear
“So she was just cute?” Rajat said
“Ya I mean she was hot too and in that green dress she was looking sizzling I must say” before I could say anything more Boney said in a blunt tone
“She is my girlfriend” Oh there was a silence of few minutes and then I said
“I am sorry man, you know… I mean” I was kind of stammering
“That’s cool man” Boney said
“No worries, shit happens. Isn’t it Boney” I replied to make the moment lighter and he nodded and asked
“Wana go for a smoke” we went to the door and chatted for almost the whole night. That’s how I met Boney and we became friend for life.
***How we met finish***
“Wow, that is a nice story, but I am interested in listing to how you met Jiya?” Priya said
“Come on, that’s how I met Parag” Jiya said, Priya gave it a thought again keeping her possessive girlfriend mind aside, she said
“Oh, ofcourse you were Boney’s girlfriend.”
“I still am and would be” Jiya said and went to Boney and gave him a hug.
“So how did Boney and Jiya met?” Abby asked to start the current again
“Enough for today we should be leaving now. It’s Sunday night and it’s rather a long story” Boney said and we all went home in sometime but the story didn’t end yet. Boney and I have a huge history and lot of stories to share.
***
I guess all best friends has a story to share of how they met and doesn’t matter how weird the story is they always have a sweetness in it. Friends meet for life and keep on adding stories everyday J
“Hey guys, what’s up?” Boney said and we were still in a shock by looking at the new girl not Jiya and Boney came and said
“Meet, Abhilasha, or call her Abby, isn’t it” Before we could say ‘hi’ Boney looked at her and they both giggled and she said “Hi, you can call me Abby”
“Hi Abby” Priya said with perfect stress on ‘Abby’

“No way, which seat is yours?”
“43” I said
“Mine is 46, such a coincidence” Boney said
“What a coincidence” I said whiling looking for my friends “hey Rajat here” I yelled as I saw them coming from other Compartment “Thank god” I said and then it clicked in my mind, what the hell this guys is doing in this train. He said he is from Delhi so after Rajat and Anand came and shook hand with him with a surprise and got settled I said
“So where are you going?”
“Aaahhh, me?” he said as if there was someone else who I would ask. There were only four of us.
“yahan” I said with a tone and looked at Rajat to prove my point that he is fake
“I am going to Narsihgad” he said with shame in his voice
“I knew it, you are not from Delhi” I said with a proud and loud voice
“Be cool man, I just wanted to be cool that’s it. Anyways I am from Narsihgad and doing my engineering from Delhi” Boney said. As Jabalpur is very close to Narsihgar and for anything he must have been coming to Jabalpur for all his childhood, we had a lot in common to talk. So after a few discussions I asked him
“Hey, can I ask you a question”
“Ya sure, anything” Boney said in made up cool voice again
“First stop acting cool, I know where you are from now. Second I wanted to ask, there was a girl with you that night, she was kind a cute”
“Ohh you liked her did you?” Boney said in a very cool voice so I anticipated that she is just his friend and I can talk about her more
“Ya I did, she was cute and beautiful. She solved my purpose of coming to Delhi.” I said to be clear
“So she was just cute?” Rajat said
“Ya I mean she was hot too and in that green dress she was looking sizzling I must say” before I could say anything more Boney said in a blunt tone
“She is my girlfriend” Oh there was a silence of few minutes and then I said
“I am sorry man, you know… I mean” I was kind of stammering
“That’s cool man” Boney said
“No worries, shit happens. Isn’t it Boney” I replied to make the moment lighter and he nodded and asked
“Wana go for a smoke” we went to the door and chatted for almost the whole night. That’s how I met Boney and we became friend for life.
***How we met finish***
“Wow, that is a nice story, but I am interested in listing to how you met Jiya?” Priya said
“Come on, that’s how I met Parag” Jiya said, Priya gave it a thought again keeping her possessive girlfriend mind aside, she said
“Oh, ofcourse you were Boney’s girlfriend.”
“I still am and would be” Jiya said and went to Boney and gave him a hug.
“So how did Boney and Jiya met?” Abby asked to start the current again
“Enough for today we should be leaving now. It’s Sunday night and it’s rather a long story” Boney said and we all went home in sometime but the story didn’t end yet. Boney and I have a huge history and lot of stories to share.
***
I guess all best friends has a story to share of how they met and doesn’t matter how weird the story is they always have a sweetness in it. Friends meet for life and keep on adding stories everyday J
Chapter 2: Chemistry of Nodding
On a Friday evening Boney was driving his new car. As his habit he was talking to himself while driving ‘Oh god such a beautiful evening, I wish Jiya would have been here. I should call her’ Even when no one was there in the car he wanted to use and showoff the function of Bluetooth in his car and so he called Jiya.
“Hey honey, how are you doing?”
“I am missing you, what else and mom is making me cook?” Jiya replied with made up said voice
“I know, me too and the weather here is awesome and...” Before Boney could complete Jiya said
“Wait wait wait, switch that stupid Bluetooth of yours and pick up the phone.” Boney picked the phone
and switch it to handset mode and said
“Now is it fine?”
“Yes, but are you driving” Jiya replied with angry voice
“Ahhhhh” Boney didn’t wanted to say yes but it is Jiya
“Pull it to the side first and then talk to me” Boney pulled the car to side and said
“Sorry” Boney said with his made up voice to sound apologizing
“I told you never drive while on phone and after drinking. Anyways so what is the plan for tonight?”
“aaahhh Brito’s” Boney said with hesitation in his voice
“So drunk and drive, what should I do with you Boney.” She said and gave a pause and continued “come on, I am kidding, go have fun your car is insured anyways”
“Oh I got so tensed that how come my cool girlfriend turned into her mother” Boney said to mix into the fun
“What?” Jiya said in loud voice
“Gotta go, I am running late… bye honey, Love you” Boney said and hung up before Jiya reacts on his comment
Brito’s is a new club in the town and we have been planning to go there from long. The moment Boney reached Brito’s he located a place where could be sitting for years to come only if there are good waitresses in that bar. Me and Boney has a theory that post we are in a relationships we can gawk our eyes only on few girls like air hostess, waitress, bar tenders and of course actress if we see them anywhere. At the entry Boney asked for a table for two and when the waitress lead him to the table he said
“Can you please direct a guy name Parag to here, he must be on his way” Boney knew I had a meeting and so I must be running late and after waiting for a while and two-three drinks; he called me up
“Dude, where are you?” he sounded pissed
“I am at the house, what’s up?” I said while confused with the sound of loud music
“What’s up?? I am waiting for you in Barito’s that’s up” He almost was yelling
“Why did you go to Barito’s I thought we were suppose to go together” I was irritated as it was always a plan to go there together for the first time
“You think, anyways wait up I will come back”
“No wait” I kept Boney on hold and asked Priya “Do you wana go to Brito’s?”
“Now” she said while thinking of her dress and I nodded
“Well ya, why not” she said and I told Boney
“We are coming, we will be there in 30 mins.. Hey, go and check out the men’s room” I said in excitement like a girl.
“Hell no, I am not waiting here another minute. I am coming home” Boney said and hung up the phone. Priya almost jumped out from the couch and I nodded in a ‘no’ and told her that Boney is coming home. Boney was home in around 30 minutes and the moment he came in he yelled at me
“I got stood up” and we looked at him as we were not able to understand why the hell Boney will go on a date when he and Jiya are so happy and then he continued “No one in the history got stood up by a friend and you stood me up Mister”
“Who me? When did I stood you up…” I said with confusing voice
“no no no, don’t tell me you are not going to agree to this. In the morning I asked you and you said you wana come” Boney was really angry and I was not able to understand, so I replied
“I don’t’ think so dude, calm down” and Priya as savor came in middle and said
“Walk me through Boney what happened in the morning?”
***Morning Start***
Parag was watching morning Yoga on TV and eating oats and I was all ready to leave for office and that’s when I asked him
“Dude” He didn’t respond and so I said again and louder “Dude”
“Ya” he said while not movies his eyes even for a inch from the TV
“Jiya went to her mom’s today, do you wana check out the new pub, what’s its name?” I was trying to collect the name and he replied
“Brito’s”
“Yes, what say, just you and I. Just like old times” and then he nodded and I said “ok, so I would reach at around 7 after office. C ya… have fun” and I left
***Morning end***
“That’s not right” I said and looked at Boney and then to Priya
“Why did you try a conversation while he was watching Yoga, he don’t miss any move of those girls and everyone know it” Priya said
“That’s not right either and anyways this is what happened.” I said to clarify that I am not a pervert who watches yoga for girls and continued “When you asked me to go to Brito’s I nodded and then you went to the kitchen and I said, I got plans with Priya tonight. We are going to watch some stupid documentary movie of her friend”
“Stupid?? if you must know Ritu has been awarded” Priya cleared the blames on her friend and gave me look
“Whatever… I never went to kitchen, I left for office.” Boney said
“I guess I must be looking at the TV so I didn’t realize. I am sorry dude, I am fine if you wana go now” I made my apologies but Boney was still not convinced so he kept his argument going
“Then why did you nodded up and down, thrice. Which clearly means a yes.”
“No I didn’t I made an 8, thrice. Which clearly means, well it’s never clear but as I said, I am sorry dude” I said and realized it was my bad
“It’s easy for you to say, you don’t know what happened”
“What, why is this big deal man?” I replied as I was not able to understand.
“Oh really do you know what happened at the pub. When you didn’t turn up for a while I was all depressed and I tried your phone sometime and it was not reachable. The waitress, no no the hot waitress came to me with a drink on house and said in a low voice ‘I am sorry your boyfriend stood you up sir, here a drink on the house for you’ what do you expect me to do than” Boney didn’t even finish his sentence and Priya and I busted in laughter
“Why would she think that?” Priya asked while laughing
“I don’t know, I may have ordered cosmopolitan” Boney said with a shameful voice
“Dudeeeee… I know we like it but you need to pick the right time. Take a sip from your girl friend’s cosmo, never order by yourself” I said while controlling my laugh
“Anyways lets go back and we will clarify that you are not… you are not gay” Priya said and fell on the couch to hold herself from laughing louder
“Well that’s not it?” Boney said and Priya looked at me with curious funny eyes
“While my way back home Cops caught me for drunk and drive”
“No ways, how, you just had one drink isn’t it” I said and he replied
“I ordered 2 cosmos and when this waitress gave me another one I… I didn’t wanted to waste it and so I bottom’s up it and came out. I just came out from parking and they were right on that corner of the roas, as if waiting for me to come out. I had to pay 1500 bucks fine” Oh I had no patience left and I fell down while laughing. Priya was laughing too and so Boney also caught the fever and started to laugh. After sometime when all of us calm down we decided to go back to see if Brito’s could be the place. Well as it turned out it was loud and just drinks. We can’t talk much and can’t afford it all the time, so we decided that this is not the place for us to hangout and went back to Cheery’s coffee house.
***
Friendship is about laughing at friend when they are said and enjoying it without feeling guilty. Friendship is about getting pulled by your friends when you are down already but at the end friendship is about holding hands even when people think you are being gay J
Chapter 3: Chemistry with her Bro
I was just coming back from my office and the moment I opened the room Boney was on the couch watching TV as always.
“Hey man, what’s up” He said the moment I saw him
“It was a busy day man” I replied while putting my bag in my room
“Come out, I made some pancakes for ya” he said when I was going in the washroom
“Oh that’s nice, let drop some before eat some” I said while looking at him and winked
“So, do you want a beer?” Boney asked. I don’t know why he is still talking to me when I am in the bathroom
“Ahhh, let me come out” I replied
“That’s cool, I will come be back man, wait up” He said and I heard the door opening and closing, I guess he must have gone out. The whole situation was weird. Anyways I freshened up and came out to watch TV. In another 5 min Boney came with beers in his hand.
“What’s up with beers man?” I asked while looking at packet.
“We were out of beers and so I thought you might wana drink, so I went to buy some” Boney said and went to the kitchen to get the Pancakes and Beer.
“Dude, I can smell something fishy, spell the truth buddy boy...” I said, as I knew there is some favor that he wants from me. I was just curious how big it would be that he got the costliest beer.
“No big deal, you are my bro and a bro never says no” Boney said and looked at one of his pictures hanging on the wall with Jiya. I looked at the picture and said
“Is it something with Jiya? “ I said while looking at Jiya’s innocent face in that picture with the devil
“Ya, kinda” Boney said and gave me the plate with pancakes.
“Come on, come to the point man” I said with irritation
“No big deal, no.. no big… I mean Jiya was telling me that her Brother has some work in the town and he is coming tomorrow morning and you know how she always wanted me to get along with him…” before Boney said another word I busted
“Which one, don’t tell me it’s the old monk” I said and looked at him and by his look I knew it is Old Monk
“Yes, Old Monk and it is worst. Jiya wants him to stay with us so that I could get some chance to win him” Boney said and there was a silence of not less than 5 Mins.
“What the hell you were doing by wasting your time in cooking and what about the beers, why do you have to get beers knowing he will come tomorrow.” I said it in one line without taking breath.
“You are right, we should get to work” Boney said and got up. We had no time; we had to clear all the bottles and every photo of Boney and Jiya, all the movies CD which we love and magazines. We cleaned up for 3 hours straight and then we were so tired and were sitting on the couch and Boney was cleaning his laptop’s cookies and histories so that her brother can’t track the porn websites of Boney’s.
Jiya’s brother Jaiprakash or rather known as Jay is a big guy with big money and even bigger principles. He is an orthodontist and also an orthodox. He loves Jiya like his own daughter and he would be the one who would have to approve Boney at the end as her father would have full faith in Jay. It so happened few years back that Jay came and was staying in a hotel and we had no clue what kind of person he is. It was bad when we met him in his hotel.
***First meet with Jay Start***
We knocked at his room door and he opened the door. From the first look he was looking smart and a nice person but when I saw Jiya sitting in a corner doing nothing, we knew there is something wrong with this guy. So to act cool as he must be 2-3 years older me to us Boney said
“So, how was your trip man?”
“It was fine. Some of the guys may be of your age were sitting next to me and they were drunk I just had a little thing with them but after that it was all fine” he said as if he must have kicked some ass. I was going through the bar menu, and the moment story started I threw it back at the table.
“Phhuuu, what people? There is no class left in first class, isn’t it?” Boney said and looked at me. I looked at him while thinking ‘what the hell are you saying man’
“I would kill the people who drinks” he said and Boney looked at Jiya. Jiya was sitting quiet and calm as a nice little sister. And then he came close to Boney, I mean really really close and said “You don’t drink do you?” as a reflex Boney said
“No, no no… sir, never and neither Parag and nor Jiya” I looked at him and I could see he was panicking.
“Good for you” he said and turned back towards Jiya gave a look to her as if he was confirming about Boney’s statement.
***First meet with Jay End***
With that interaction and more what we heard from Jiya we have understood that it would not be easy for Boney to convince him. Anyways post the cleaning in house Boney got up and went around doing a last check.
“Dude, what about these beers what I got just now” Boney said when he saw the beers he got me in the fridge.
“I don’t know, you thought you can get me beers and I would be fine with that Old Monk living in our house with us” I replied
“Yahan!!! Good that you got ready without it” Boney said and he continued “Should I through them?” Boney said thinking that he knows how to convince me
“No, have you learned nothing from me. It’s just 3 beers each, let’s finish them and go to bed” I replied with a funny voice. It was 10 in the night already and so we started the play station and started to drink. It was around 12 by the time we finished our drinks and game.
Next morning I could hear Boney’s phone ringing from the other room, I gave him some time to pick it up for two reasons. First he is a lazy guy and second I never know if his phone is ringing or if he is snoring as they both sound the same. After 2 rings I was about to get up and just then my phone started to ring, it was Jiya
“Hey, good morning” I said and looked the watch, it was 7:30
“Ya whatever ask Boney to get up, my brother’s flight is about to land.” She replied and I said nothing and hung up the call
“Hey honey, how are you doing?”
“I am missing you, what else and mom is making me cook?” Jiya replied with made up said voice
“I know, me too and the weather here is awesome and...” Before Boney could complete Jiya said
“Wait wait wait, switch that stupid Bluetooth of yours and pick up the phone.” Boney picked the phone
