Three Words &Two Minds

He: What do you think about interfaith knot?
She: You mean interfaith naught? I strongly believe in it.
Such was the level of her apprehension.


Well this is the story of boy meets girl but you should know upfront that it is not a love story.

Let's not get into the details of how they met and all that shit.


It was the marriage ceremony of some of their common friend, they decided to go together.
Just like that. Nothing mushy.
Others guys asked the boy will you come with us he said nah! I have plans I might be late.


Party will start at 8, so the boy was putting the things together accordingly,he picked his suit form laundry and took out just the right tie, polished his shoes the brightest and perfect pair of socks to go with them, blow dryer plugged-in, bottle of Burberry was just waiting to get sprinkled all over, cab was booked well in advance it was scheduled to come at 8:15 but nobody can outsmart the Almighty.
Ever.


Its was 8:30 still no sign of cab, not even the contact details of god damn driver sweat beads starting to appear on his forehead.He tried and called the cab service number of times but still no answer from them.


At 8:35 mobile beeped
She: Where are you?
He: On the way.
She: Okay.


Still no sign of cab.
And at 8:45 his mobile beeped again message from cab service read: " Dear Sir, We regret to inform you that due to unavailability of cab in your area we are cancelling your booking.Inconvenience caused is deeply regretted."
Holy Moly!!
Just like that how can they cancel the booking. I mean HOW?Boy was at the end of his tether.


But somehow he mustered his calm and kept his cool and called the other cab service at 8:47 and they informed him they will take 20 mins.
 
At 8:50 his mobile ranged.This time its her.
She: Where are you?
He: Oh I am so sorry! I just forgot something, have to go back to my home to collect it, will be there in a jiffy.
She: Okay come fast I am all ready.
He: Okay cya.


At 9:10 driver called asking for directions to boy's home.
At 9:15 girl called again.
She: Please tell me the truth where are you?
He: This time I am telling you the truth, I am on the way will be there to pick you up in 15 mins.
She: I hope you don't like to get killed today by me.
He: Hope not.


And at 9:35 he was at her place, he didn't have to call her she was standing outside her home.


In her yellow sleeveless suit with little green border with churidar and chunni nicely held on left shoulder, with lot of her back visible and big danglers hung exquisitely from her ears and half tied hairs with some locks tossing on her cheeks she looked nothing but beautiful.


He opened the door from inside for her, she was all calm and composed but she declared that they have to get back by 11 and he was fine with it.


They asked the driver to wait for them, as finding the cab on way back will become a mammoth task, so it will be wise to pay a little more rather than paying for it.


And at 10:10 they reached they venue and as they were entering they encountered the other guys who have little smirks on there faces as they were leaving the venue.


Sensing the uneasiness in boy, girl started to talk some random stuff.She told him about her some bike freak friend who just met an accident and how he bought chocolate for her when she went to see him in recent past.


And by the time they finished their dinner it was 10:50 so they hurried to see bride and groom and they clicked few photos and handed the folded envelops to bride's  mother.
And they got pictures clicked together form girl's mobile.


And it was 11:15 already girl start to have jitters. Boy called the driver and they left the venue, girl looked little scared and was murmuring something boys asked 'You okay?' She didn't said anything and shook her head in approval, and stopped the murmur.Boy asked what was that she told him she was reciting "hanuman chalisa".


Next morning the boy asked her to share the photos they clicked last night and she said she can't as she is still unmarried and the boy will flaunt the pics to his male friends and that can seriously jeopardise her matrimonial prospects.
Apprehension you see.


And they than never talked.
By never I mean 8 months.


After 8 months they met and she confessed she has feelings for him.
Three words made the boy have two minds.
To be or not to be.
