More
than a hundred kms by drive and then more than 3 kms of trekking
through a very rough terrain, and I was sweating after a very long time.
Yes, it was not namma Bengaluru but Andhra. Finally we reached our
destination. Wow! what a beauty. The rocky mountain with scarce greenery
and the stream of the water fall. It was truly a mystic view to sooth
your eyes and your body after the hard trip walking. I never knew that
there will be so much of arduous trekking. With just my slippers and my
fractured ankle which I am still recovering, I managed to reach the
location, last but not the least. By then my friends had already started
chit chatting.
I could hear their whistles and their South Indian dialects from far off. Food was ready, chicken kababs and a host of other snacks. Everyone started enjoying the party. Few went to the stream and few chose to sit back. I was amongst the later lot. I got mixed in their Andhra-Kannada dialects, trying to get in their conversation with a few occasional comments, bringing in a roar of laughter. I enjoyed the party. But somehow somewhere I missed something. I missed someone whom I used to chit chat almost every day from almost a year, this very time. I looked at my phone, which showed "Emergency calls only". **** no network in this jungle. The party went on. And I kept missing my someone at regular intervals. All this time throughout the year, I never thought that I may even loved her. I had failed relationships and I never dared to fall in love again. But in a span of 6 hours, I did. I began thinking of my life without her. If I can't spend 6 straight hours without her, how will be my life when she gets someone and does not have time for me. All those thoughts came to my mind. I had to take the step forward. I had to atleast take the chance. On our way back, the only thing I did was searching for Vodafone IN network. As soon as I did, I texted her:" We have been friends for long, to a stage I could not properly concentrate my party amongst friends without you. I want you and want to spend my lifetime with you. I have a simple question and I want a simpler answer: Will you be my soulmate? I don't expect for 7 lives but for this life atleast ?"
I was too scared after texting her and kept my phone inside my pocket and continued walking.
There was a beep for a text message, but I was too scared to check the reply. I chose to ignore. As I reached our vehicle, I took my phone and I opened the text which was as follows : "I was angry at you that you were ignoring me today. I thought not to reply you when you texted me after 6 hours of our usual chat time. Then when I opened the text, it was the message I was expecting almost every day for the past few months but you never did. And finally when I was angry at you for the very first time, you made me cry with your text. Yes, I do love you! with all my heart and soul and not for this life but every life I take birth. But first, be my best buddy always, like you were all this while"
