aarko part...yespaali surprise for everyone...two parts this time....hope u all will enjoy...hey swaati ji..that was nice pics...yeah hug takes away lots of pain... ************************************ The min pachaas this time was fun for me. My one cousin had bought a skating and I spent lot of time learning that skate and failed apparently. I would fall most of the time and had lots of scars and skin wounds, but learning experience was huge fun. We were still fan of the table tennis and my cousin had excelled in that, I would be beaten by him with his left hand. Pee and I would make a huge collection of the AR Rehman?s best song collection for ourselves. That time, I got the grip of the best records of Beatles and the doors and got to know what made them from common people to a Legend. We had controlled our obsession towards movies as Pee was also scolded by his parents. The FM stations were there to hit the town and there were craze for it everywhere. We would record the latest songs from the airplay as most of time we would be broke to buy every cassette we loved. The FM station was just as an angel?s gift to us as we could hear every song we wished to hear. The class ten started with a surprise for Pee and me. We were there to admit ourselves together this time also. I had stayed at Pee?s this time and early in the morning we were there at school to admit ourselves together. There was huge crowd when we got there and with much hard effort we got ourselves admitted together. We were happy, but our fate had another destiny for us. With our roll numbers as odd as 223 and 224, we were sure that we would be together in the same class. But there was strange rule in our school that time, the students securing more that 75% of marks were kept in the special section to excel their performance and that hit us hard as that was the reason we get separated in different sections. He was the last roll number in one section and I was first roll number in another. We were separated and that was a surprise start for us. But this separation did a good thing for us. We had different notes to share in the SLC as we were in different sections and it helped us more in our Iron Gate journey. This time around, I remember less of the mates of the class 10. In that class I was only to study as I made least friends there, most of time I would be hanging out with Pee and another friend, who had came into our so called group of two. His name was Mohan and we would call him ?Pyare Mohan? or ?T-3? meaning taalu, tuiyaan and terminator. He was little bald and would be furious most of time to be called terminator. He was our friend and Pee and I loved his company anyways. Now there were three of us in our journey toward the Iron Gate. We had ups and downs, we had fun and fury, we had thrills and chills in between the journey and we loved each part of it, the sweetest memories to cherish forever in life. ************************************ The journey had started, and I had fastened my seatbelts for my journey. And in between this journey, I was too busy to prove myself. I would almost forget about her in times, but whenever I remembered her, she would be just there for me (I must have taken her as granted to ignore her that much). We had very little time together this year as I would be too busy either practicing the mathematics with my FM stereo on with full sound (Math and music, Best blend of study cocktail..;-), or with tuitions or hang outs Pee and I had together; but each moments she and I had together had made a deep incisions in my heart, which I remember with vivid details. That day, I had holiday at my school for some occasion, I don?t remember exactly what it was but it was free day for me. I stayed at home till mid afternoon listening to music and doing the mathematics most of times, recording the songs air played that I loved in between the time. That day must have been lucky day for me, as that day I had recorded two cassettes full of songs from FM station. The FM station only played till noon at that time, and after noon, being bored just staying at home I gathered the cassettes I had recorded and got ready to go to Pee?s place where I could edit the songs I want most and make another hit collection of ours. With no one at home, I locked all the doors and went to her room to keep the key. There were no one at her place, I just left the key on table and left the room. There was a small courtyard just behind my room. I never open window at that side as it was just next to the open soak pit and would give pungent smell most of time. As I was leaving the home, I spotted her there at courtyard writing something all over. I stopped for the moment and there I saw what made me stunned and blushed at the same time. She was writing N+I all over (her name started with I), and just then she noticed me. Our eyes met, and I could feel blush in her eyes. She was turning red from white, and without moment loosing she tried to erase all the N+I she had written, and she went away from there as quickly as she could. There was still one N+I remaining, and those N+Is had already made my mind disturbed, heart pounding and face blushing. I didn?t remember anything in between the way, and before I knew I was at Pee?s place. ?Oyee, yeuta kura suun na (Hey, listen this yaar.).? I wanted to share all the things with Pee. ?Bhan (tell me)? ?Usle ta malai maan paraunchha jasto laagyo yaar (I think she loves me).? ? Ko?? Ko ?usle??? (Who?? Who does??)? he was confused. ?Taile aasti bhanekole k? haamisanga basne chha ni.(The one whom u said last time?the one who shares our apartment)? I tried to explain. ?Yehh!! Christian?Malai pahile thaha thiyo, tehi bhayera talai aasti bhaneko (oh!! that Christian, I knew it before, that?s why I told you all those before).? He had felt the spark lot before I did. ?Talai mann pardaina??(Don?t you like her??)? He added. ?Khoi yaar, Malai thaha chhaina?(I don?t know!!!)? It was my turn to get confused now. ?Get yourself fixed yaar,thaha laaga, mula?? He tried to suggest me. But I was too much confused, and I didn?t know if I was really in love with her or something. I felt a different kind of comfort whenever she would be around in my difficult times, I wanted to make her smile forever, I loved to see her happy, I loved each and every thing she did for me, I loved her company but I wasn?t sure if that was called love. I just stood there confused with turmoil of the illusion of love. ************************************
