As the cupboard creaked I could remember ,how he gave me chocolates every time we fought. I used to take them and forgive him…I turned back and memories flashed back..
………………………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………………………………
I was bored eating chocolates he gave me after our recent fight…There were so many left …
I thought for the millionth time. “Who next?” .As I scrolled down my phone no. list to see whom I can call next . In a boring 2nd shift it was somewhat expected out of me. I turned around to see empty seats and then realized it was 7 pm already and almost all of them have left. As I called my last friend and got a response “tu theek to hai na?meri kasam?” (r u ok?swear on me) I realized how much I have been dependent on people for my emotional needs.. I have been always a sensitive and emotional person. Not sure of the reason ..may b a bad childhood..all those parental fights..or may b a long distance relationship that had shaken my roots and senses when my x-guy left me …or may be just my present…committed –yet lonely..
The guy in my life presently is nice,quiet,caring..and handsome…His looks gave a feeling of butterflies fluttering in stomach every time I see him.. still I crave for his attention.
Past 1 year has changed me a lot.Pateince has touched my life or may be I have just grown up, in all aspects infact.Attitude and beauty strikes every1s mind when they see me…… the chirpy ,happening, attractive and sexy “Tina Roy”.
As I sat staring in the computer ‘Tina ,want some coffee ? ‘I turned back to c my TL smiling at me(an invitation). ‘Na.. I just had coffee.. u carry on’I said and turned and could sense disappointment as he saw his latest crush ,crushing his intentions.”Vikram “ how much my eyes searched for him..don’t know why..may be my loneliness or may be his eyes which could tell me he was bowled over my looks…”Tina..how much I need u”every time I came across him, I could read it clearly..
As I started looking out of the glass and stared out into nothing I realized my phone was ringing. ‘ Unknown no. …. Oh God these credit card people they can’t let be in peace even after 7pm.Heights!!
I am so not gonna spare them this time. ‘Hello, who is it??’ I could hear a familiar voice “Amrita how r u??? “ …Wondering who it was I replied ” Leon??? ” not recognizing my guy’s voice will b d last thing on earth..
Stranger: ’leon ?? who leon??’
(may b I am thinking of him o lot…I thought..it’s not him)
..............................
Me : Whom r u looking for?
Stranger: Hi I am Shiv… Can I talk to my friend Amrita?
Me: I guess you have dialed the wrong no.(about to hang up)…
Stranger : Hearing such a nice voice I guess the no. is just not wrong.
Me: (surprise and angry)Ohhhhh.. Flirts all over the world..I mean.. You just gotta hear a girl’s voice and start flirting???
As I expected apologies I realized how wrong I was…
Stranger: has some 1 told u…ur voice becomes more attractive and sultry when u r rude,I bet u r too beautiful…
Earnestly for a moment I blushed,but I maintained my Hitler kinda voice…
Me: Oh! That’s toooooooo much..why don’t u try writing dialogs , I am sure u will do good.(I was happy criticizing him. A stupid stranger)
Stranger: You are so perfect with guesses maam' , I am a writer this conversation is just too much to inspire me for my new story. By the way sultry voice,good guessing shows sharp brains…what else??? god has created you with perfection..is it???what say “angel”???
(“ANGEL”…leon calls me that, but its not him.. its not his voice..though the same charm in it..he continued speaking….)
I bet u have a better name than this…
Me: yeah.. I do… but u know wat I havnt seen a flirt like u… sick…(I was almost smiling )
Stranger: Oh please don’t call me a flirt, I m exclusive, I don’t talk to many..
ME: is it??? So why u bugging me from past 5 mins??
Stranger: May be I just fell for your voice…
(his instant reply made me blush again..why am I doing this..blushing like a school girl…)
Me: so what next ??
Stranger: Name??
Me: What??
Strange:Can I know ur name??
ME: Tina
Stranger: Sexy name..
ME: WOOOOOOOOO…….Dont u think dat was just too much for 1st conversation??
Stranger: U mind??sorry but cudnt help complimenting u…so can I call u again Tina???
Me:Y do u thik I will let u do dat..???
Stranger :may b u wont pick up my call..but I will call u tina…lovely name…by the way did I tell u ..I fell for ur name too?
Me :enough..bye…(uff…they should ban such flirts I murmured and smiled to myself)…
..............................
I am too honest with my guy .. busy working on his laptop he still looked so cute.. I told Leon all about that incident.. he laughed it off saying “Oh my honest baby doll… if you wana talk to him you can… but I hope u don’t loose ur mind with writer’s type romantic crap..” and he happily got back to work…I hated his Networking guy type reply…
Days passed on and due to uneven shift timings there was a lot of communication gap between me and Leon.. he dint have time even to look at me and I got unexpected compliments from Shiv(without even seeing me,he used to like everything about me)..all his words soothed me after a hectic day…
It was 14th feb ..the lover’s day… Leon had gone for some client meeting and will come back by afternoon…atleast half a day together.. as I expected his call and hurriedly picked up the call and said ”Leon??”
Hm…. I am so jealous of this guy..dats what I heard…”oh!! Shiv??”
Shiv: yeah doll…so ready for a dream date??
(Did he say dream date??? Leon would b back by now and may be sleeping peacefully…. Oh! Why does he ignore me so much?) As I got carried away with this thoughts Shiv's voice brought me back to my reality…
Shiv: You there?
Me: kind off…
Shiv: So what if I surprise u??
Me :Surprise??
Shiv : Lets just face it..we have spoken of everything Tina but… it is too much to hide my feelings now… I Love U .. I am so mad about u..
Me: stop kidding..(laughing) my guy is a boxer he will kill you..
Shiv:I am serious Tina… I can die for you.. no matter what u say… I will always love u…please…………………………….
I hung up nervously… Such a romantic caring and sensitive guy proposing me surely gave me a thrill and yes somehow he was an important person in my life… But Leon… I never thought of leaving him.. he is a bit busy..but loves me..but.. I was confused for hours and dint pick up Shiv’s call..
It was raining outside..I ran as fast as I could..reached Leon’s place to find him sleeping peacefully.. I woke him up.He was blinking clueless ”whats wrong baby??”
As I hugged him and cried he lifted me in his arms and tried soothing me..as he touched me I could feel how much distance can be filled just by one touch..
Me: Shiv proposed me…(tears streaming down my face)
Leon : (still caring and soothing me…) Do you love him? (I dint answer…how could he ask that? he dint object me talking to a stranger and now he becomes an important part of my life and now my hero comes back to ask this…???)
Leon: Do u love me…?? ( I looked at him ,he was still the same Leon.. so simple..I thought of the day while he proposed me looking away for me…and nervous not to loose me… “Tina” he had said…”I love you ,but I don’t want u to reply now..u can take ur time.. think and get back to me… “LEON….i ” I started speaking ,he interrupted “I know u thought me as ur frien.. I m sorry baby… but I love u please don’t say any thing…please think of it… “LEON… listen…” …….. and he continued “I know u will get a better guy but…… I had hugged him n almost shouted…. “DUMB I love u… I really do…. “ and we had laughed and hugged each other for long time……….that was the dumbest proposal on earth…but he loved me a lot I could see that in his eyes… but now… the same guy…my Leon is asking me…if I love him… not a good situation.. Gog must help me now!)
Leon: Tina… u must know.. I am mad about u..cant let u go… wait I will give u something and u will happy… as he turned away to the cupboard… I got wild.. how can he think of giving me chocolates now)
Me: ( I almost screamed ) LEON I AM NOT A KID ..U CANT GIVE ME CHOCOLATES AND …just tell me to forget everything..
( Things were getting worse…I was crying bitterly but he was so inconsiderate and walked towards the cupboard… and now I was thinking of shiv… )
He came with a box and pleaded me to open it…I opened it sobbing…
It was a strange looking gadget..possibly a transmitter .. he sticked it to a phone ..a new one which I never saw with him…and called on my no. and said … “speak”
I was clueless..but murmured some words… he had kept the speaker on and I was shocked to hear an absolutely new voice on my speaker.. I looked at the screen it was flashing “Shiv on call…”
World was spinning around me… as he hugged me and said ….” Baby… I am ur Leon and.. SHIV"
And I was in his arms forever..and ever…
………………………………………………………………………………
And then my ???“Shona” asked me… Her small palms pushed me out of curiosity as I was lost in thoughts…I took her in my lap and said …then this happened and turned my special moments album…
And she faintly read the words …
TINA WEDS LEON
“ You are Cordially Invited"
As the cupboard creaked I could remember ,how he gave me chocolates every time we fought. I used to take them and forgive him…I turned back to see Leon getting chocolates for “Shona” as he used to give me.My eyes were all brimmed with tears. “ Mommy cries a lot…”
Leon told Shona and hugged me to lift me in his arms and little Shona ran around us happily eating chocolates !
