My First Proposal !!!

"Do you think we should say this now??", Vikki asked me in a worried but energetic tone,"She is busy preparing for her exam and most of all she is not wearing my favourite colour , I think we should skip this to after exams".... I stood there thinking how to face the public examination on the next day .. It was Physics and supposed to be high scoring if prepared and a man-hole if not... I was thinking at least the person beside me would come prepared so that I could do something about it..."Are you listening to me ?? Should we say this now " Vikki brought me down to the reality... I said " What do you see in her dude.. Is she worth getting an 'F' grade in public exams".. He said " I like her so much .. See how she walks with her waving in the wind and did you notice ... She had put on new ear-rings today and they look so beautiful on her ".. I saw her at about a distance of 100 meters or so.. I did not find anything but a girl preparing for her exam...Seriously.. He added to my confusion " I feel She is looking towards me without we noticing her .." How can she? Vikki did not even flip his eye in effect not to miss her... I said "Oh!! Is it?" to encourage him..

He said " If I say and if she does not accept.. what should I do? I cannot do that again obviously...."..... Then he said something which is the root cause for me to write this blog entry.." Murali, Could you ask propose my love ??" .. ''What'' was my first reaction.. I said "No way , I am a born enemy to her and even if she has some feelings for you.. She will simply reject your proposal if I propose your love..." After a few promises of gift givings and sorries I had to agree to that "Mission Impossible"... but HOW?... was the next question..

Obviously, calling her from 100 meters is not an option since we need only her to know about this.. not her parents , the neighbours and almost half of a small street in between.... And to our bad luck, Cell Phones have not been a common gadget that even kids wonder about as now.. Then vikki had an idea.. " How about we shift our reading place much nearer to her house.. I know the granny in the house next to her and we can ask her if we can use it for today to read ".. Vikki said, feeling himself as he kicked the b*** of physics problem in tomorrow's exam... I had to oblige owing to the gifts and to satisfy my need of making the people happy. We moved in to the house next to her house, she still was reading , with out any knowledge of whats going to come..whats being planned around her... She was doing a oscillatory motion from one end of their balcony to other .. One end of her balcony was very near to our new reading adda ..

Everytime she comes to that near side, vikki would push me towards the brim of our balcony and hides himself behind the door... This happened some 9-10 times... when I finally needed to get this over with and read for my exam... "Sangeeta", I called out her name .... She looked all around and finally looked at me.... I did not know what to say.. I thought to say "Never Mind !! Whats portion for tomorrow, thanks" and get back.... But again.. immense need for making people happy.... " I have something to tel you" I said with a lower tone... " What is it? , I need to study" she said... As if We are the only one that dont need to study.... I said ," Look, You know Vikki??"
"Ya, My neighbour .. Whats up with him?" She enquired
"Nothing, Its just that HE loves you and want to know how you feel"

She could have
a) Call everybody at home and tell about us being such a jerks,
b) called each of her friends and let them know that she is popular too among boys
c)Thrown the 5kg book she was reading at me puncturing my nose
d) Unlikely thing of accepting his love and thus relieving me of my burden...

She chose none of the options , She laughed mysteriously, I thought she is in favour of option(d)... but She said " Him.. (chuckles), Whenever I see him, I will be reminded of my bro.. How could I??" That was enough... I thought I would now never want to see his face after hearing those and how hurt he was... She was continuing her speech.. but "vikki" was only in mind, I was thinking of what's gonna happen with him now... Finally I said " OKay.. Please go back to your reading, c ya " .. and turned back with out noticing her reply..

Vikki was not behind the door anymore.. I was frightened... Whats he gonna do to himself ??? I ran all over the town forgetting about my examination... after a gruelling half an hour...Saw him peacefully sitting at an ice cream parlour... eating my favourite strawberry flavour... I went in and took his remaining ice cream forcefully and said " You should have at least said me".. He was quiet.. I took a spoon of ice cream and asked "How about now?" .. He said " I dont know, She will always be in my heart "...

We both could pass the physics exam and She DID NOT stay in his heart after a month or so.. He had another girl in his life soon after that and what happened with her is another issue.. But for now.. This was my first proposal to a girl about love.. but it was not mine... MY LOVE PROPOSAL.... hmm.. will save that for later....

Vikki, may be that incident and that girl was the foundation for our friendship.. if it was not for her and your love about her..we could not have gone through all this in our life , best friends as of now.. so three cheers to her...
