Chapter 1
They caught each other’s attention while they were on the escalator. While he was going up the escalator, she was in the opposite direction, going down. He was in his air-force uniform, while she was wearing a baby blue long sleeve chuditar (Indian tradition costume).
Days pass, weeks went. One day he picked his courage up and waited for her at the platform knowing she will board the train which he alights normally. Two days went, she never seem to appear. He was heart broken thinking that he would never see her again. But not losing his hope, on the third day, he waited, and he saw the walking beauty coming down the escalator. She saw him, standing with his arms crossed and looking at her. She was shocked. She thought to herself maybe he is waiting for someone, so she walked on the other side and waited for the train. He walked behind her and approached where she was sitting.
The 1st question, he asked, why didn’t you come for the past two days? I was waiting for you. She was stunned. Anyway, I’m Dharmesh. I know this is kind of weird but either one of us has to intro ourselves 1st, don’t you think so? She smiled at him and he was looking at her with the question mark face..ermm once again I’m Dharmesh and you are..
Ohh..i totally forgot to intro, I’m Shridharani. Sweet name he told her, she said thanks. Atleast now we know each other’s name, maybe we will get to know each other soon. She looked at him and said..yeah maybe…and she continued by the way, why were you waiting for me? He told, just for this opportunity. He smiled and told her, I got to go now, shall meet you here again tomorrow. He said bye and rushed off.
She was smiling to herself. As she went to work, her close colleague Pranasha caught Dharani smiling to herself. She went nearer and shouted “Caught Ya” Dharani was shocked. She asked what are you smiling at in the air? Dharani immediately said “no I was not smiling to myself, just doing my work”. Pranasha, told her “don’t lie, I saw you. So what’s the occasion? Dharani told her colleague whatever happened today.. Pranasha jumped with excitement and said “Oh my god, oh my god, this is love at 1st sight, I am so happy for you.” Dharani said Shh..this is not what you think, maybe he is just trying to be a nice friend. Pranasha said, whatever it is, I think this is love at 1st sight. Dharani said you and your nonsense and they got back to work.
The next day, this time she came a little earlier and waited too see what is happening. The train came, and he alighted, he saw her sitting exactly the same place, he approached and said Hi Shridharani, how are you? She smiled and said I’m fine. He asked, are you waiting for anyone, you seem early today. She said no, but when he looked into her eyes, he knew she was lying. He told her, where he was working etc, so she exchanged her job identity to him. She looked at him and was speaking inside her heart..Would he give his number, it would be so much easier to contact” it seems more like he read her mind cause he asked her, would you mind if we exchange numbers, it would be easier to contact. She looked lost, he waved his hand infront of her face and said “ hello, are you in the outer space?” she was like erm no..sorry what did you ask? He said I asked whether are in the outer space, she laughed and said no not that question, he was like ohh..sorry I asked whether do you mind, if we exchanged numbers. She nodded her head and replied, okay. They exchanged their numbers; he immediately called her to check whether she did save his number. He smiled and said just being precaution. The train came, he waited for her to board the train and he left to work.
At work, Pranasha asked, So dharani how is you love story going on? What was today’s episode? Dharani replied rubbish..what love story, She told her what happen today. Pranasha was happy for her friend, she shrugged her shoulders and said I don’t where this is going to lead to but it will be a happy ending. Dharani just nodded her head and thought to herself that her friend is crazy.
Chapter 2
During lunchtime, Dharani’s Hp rang, a message asking” taken ur lunch?” she smiled to herself, the message was from Dharmesh. She replied “yes and how abt u?” This time her phone rang and she answered, “Hello…said a voice, and she recalled and said Dharmesh? He said “yes, am calling from my office line”
That was their 1st conversation on the phone…
Everyday they began to meet each other at the train station. One fine day, he took up his courage once again and asked her “So Dharani, there is a new movie out, do you want to watch it with me? She looked at him, and went “hmm what movie?” He said it’s a love-comedy based story “The title is Secret Love. She said sounds interesting..he asked her so that means you agree to come with me to the movie right? She smiled, ya should not be a problem. Okay let’s fix it Saturday, 6pm show. She smiled and nodded her head.
Both of them were falling for each other secretly, but they either do not want to declare or they just do not realise it. They were each counting down the days, and finally it was Saturday. Before she leaves her home, she called her close buddy, Pranasha and told her she is having double thoughts to go for the movie. Her friend Sha encouraged her to go for the movie. Maybe its all for a good beginning. If anything emergency, better call me. I will be there in a jiff said Sha. Dharani told her thanks and went to meet him.
There he was waiting leaned against the wall, with his arms crossed, wearing a white long sleeve shirt with his sleeves folded above his wrist, with a dark denim jeans. He saw her coming towards him, wearing a baby pink ¾ sleeve chuditar with a small clutch in her hand, with a hair let down, and her wavy curls blown in air.
She approached towards him, and said Sorry, am I late? He smiled at her and no not at all. He told her, I must tell you that you really look beautiful. He smiled and she blushed and with her shy look, she said thanks.
While they walk to the theatre, she said you look nice in this white shirt. He smiled at her and said “thank you with a glee on his face”
The movie began, and she kept laughing a lot and they really enjoyed the movie as it was hilarious. He admired her laughter, the way she hold on to his arms at some point of the movie as she could not control her laughter, she realized that it was a little embarrassing for her, she took her hands away. Continued watching the movie.
After the movie, he told her I’m really famished, do you want to grab a bite, since she was hungry, she said ok.
They went to the nearest restaurant, a simple yet a beautiful ambience. He told her that the food there is really yummy. So she wanted to give it a try. While waiting for the food, they were discussing on the movie they watched, the funny moments and etc.
Chapter 3
The days went, they met often. Time gave them the opportunity to get to know each other. But somehow, Dharmesh always wanted to ask Dharani a question which he actually was reluctant to ask at 1st. One fine day, when they met for lunch, he asked her, Dharani, would you mind if I asked you something. She stopped whatever she was doing and looked at him with a surprise in her eyes. As she has no idea what he is going to ask her. He looked at her, and he asked, why is it that you always like to wear long sleeves? She looked at him and chuckled. She said “because I don’t own any short sleeves..”
They just laughed and took it as a joke, suddenly out of the blue she asked, how many ex-girlfriend you have. He took a moment of silence and he answered, none. She was shocked. Thinking in her heart, such a guy, yet he is single.. He asked her, so did any guy managed to lock your heart? She smiled at him and said no.
They went back home. Both of them was thinking, whether to tell that they are fond of each other or should they give themselves more time..
She smsed, Dharmesh and asked whether will he be free on coming Saturday night? He said yes, and asked what was the occasion, she told him, it was the moment where I came to this world. He was like oh my its your Birthday. I am free, so what’s the treat, he asked. She said not much but a few dishes cooked by myself. He was even much pretty excited. That’s cool he said. Okies count me in. SMS me your add, and see me there. She smiled to herself and said alright. Immediately she called Pranasha and asked her to come over too. Pranasha was excited to meet Dharmesh and she said of cause I’ll be there.
The following day, Dharmesh & Dharani met at the station in the morning at their usual spot. He walked to her and said “Heyz,Goodsy Morning” She was like Hi Morning to you too. Hmm..you seem very happy today..any good news? He was like uh? What can give you more happiness than looking at your face everyday in the morning. He said” She was like “Jeessh, where did you learn such a mushy line? She laughed. He said nowhere, just felt like telling it to you. She gave him a shy smile. So how’s your birthday preparation going on he asked, well its fine. Ahh that’s good, hmm what gift do you want for your birthday? She said “just your presence will do” He looked at her, they exchanged a smile through their eyes. Her train came and spoilt the moment. She said bye to him and board the train to work.
Pranasha was eagerly waiting for Dharani at her cubicle. Once Dharani sat at her desk, she was smiling to herself. “Caught ya, said Pranasha. What are you smiling at? Ohhh I know, you met him before you came to work right? Dharani innocently asked who is the him that you are referring to? Pranasha stared and said, Dharmesh, who else will I ask.
He is coming for your Birthday right; I am excited to meet him. She just giggled. Nasha went closer to Dharani and asked, what gift do you think he is going to surprise you with? Dharani shrugged her shoulders and said, she have no idea. I just asked his presence to be there. Pranashe sighed and said “If I were you I would have asked for “Prada, Gucci, LV, something like that. She laughed. Dharani said well you know about me.
March 21st, Dharani’s birthday, she was turning 27. She invited a few close friends to her house for a small gathering. The few close friends were no one else other than Pranasha & Dharmesh. She invited both of them to her house for dinner.
Chapter 4
Dharani’s doorbell rang, she ran from the kitchen to the hall, when she open the door, Pranasha screamed “SURPRISE!!!” Dharani was so delight to see nasha, and welcomed her in. Nasha gave a big hug and one stalk of rose with a present to Dharani With that she continued her conversation asking “where is our HERO?” Dharani asked “Our Hero??” She laughed off and said I got no idea. There goes the doorbell again. This time Nasha went to answer the door and when she open, Dharmesh screamed..”SURPRISE”..and there he was standing in shock while Nasha was laughing off. She accepted his surprise and said “Thank you, but the birthday girl is not me, please do come in.” He was embarrassed and he just smiled and walked in. The moment he saw Dharani, he could not take his eyes off her. Nasha snapped her fingers infront of his face and said “Hello..are you there?” He laughed and wished Dharani “Happy Birthday”. She shyly smiled at him and said “Thank you”. Oh ya, I forgot to intro, said Dharani. “Dharmesh please meet Pranasha and Nash this is Dharmesh.” “Hello” said both of them
They sat while, Dharani, prepared the dinner. Dharmesh bought a cake and came. So it was a small celebration among the three of them. After cutting the cake and having their dinner. Dharmesh walked around the house. He asked Dharani, you are living alone? She said yes, I lost my parents in a young age. I was brought up by my aunt who passed away 3yrs ago. So now am just living by myself. He said “oh I’m sorry” she said “its ok” Nasha asked, if you are bored at home you can always call me up for company. Am always here, Dharmesh joined in and said “Me too” Dharani replied, Thanks guys.
After playing some card and board games, Nasha was tired. So she told Dharani she was making a move. Dharani hugged her and said “Thanks for the gift and your presence. This is such a memorable day.” Nasha smiled and told her, “anything for you my friend.” Nasha asked, “Mesh are you going to stay a little longer?” He said “yes” and she was okay. “Better go home safely. Do want me to come down with you to get you a cab” asked Dharmesh. Nasha replied “oh no, its okay, I will be fine” At the door, when Dharani stood there, Nasha whispered in her ears, “he is really sweet, this is your chance” She smiled and left.
When Dharani sat at the sofa, Dharmesh stood up and gave his surprise gift to her. It was wrapped in a purple box with rose petals deco. She was shocked and she said “Thank you very much Mesh.” He told her to open his gift. She shyly smiled at him and opened his gift for her. It was a beautiful black cap sleeve silky blouse with shimmering red floral prints on it. Dharani was very happy, she told “its very beautiful mesh, I really like it a lot. Thank you.” He smiled at her and told why not you change to this top and show me now. She was stunned. She told him “Mesh I really appreciate your gift but I can’t wear it neither can I keep it just like that. I’m sorry.” He was heartbroken. He asked her “why can’t you wear it? Is it the colour you don’t like, or the design or what is it?”
She was down to her tears, and told him, “no it is a beautiful top, but I just can’t accept it. He kept asking her what is the reason. Suddenly her voice changed to a little harsh tone and said “Please don’t force me and try to understand Mesh.” He was taken a back. I’m sorry Dharani, I always saw you in long sleeves and traditional costumes. I thought you would look even more beautiful in this top. I’m sorry. He told her. He continued, anyway its getting late, I shall make a move also. When he was about to walk to the door, she held his hand and said “I’m sorry Mesh” He tapped her hand and said “its ok” He stood at the doorstep and said Bye, Happy Birthday once again. She waved and said Bye and he left.
She closed the door and squat down behind the door, held on the the top he bought for her and she cried.
He walked down the stairs and was wondering, why she did not want to wear the top. What was the reason.? He started to think what is stopping her..
The next day at the office..
