I want to marry You

“I will get down here” she said feebly. He was quick to respond…“It’s ok…I don’t feel this to be the right spot for you to get down. I will leave you near your house” Soon they neared her house. He stopped just before the gate. Getting down the bike she quickly peeped into her compound and gave a sigh of relief. “Thank god the Car is not here and the light outside the door is on” she said in a very comfortable voice. He was curious to know why she mentioned that but was reluctant to ask her. But giving no room for any discomfort she continued, “Car is not here… so Dad’s gone out…the door lights are ON, so mom has slept…I can walk freely inside now!” “Dad should have seen you dropping me here…” she was all smiles and in a very mirthful tone repeated “Dad should have seen you dropping me her…”

She was about to start with her formalities of saying Thank you and Bye, when he asked her to hold his helmet for a minute. She did thinking that he is getting ready to start. He took a deep breath and tied her hands with his kerchief. She was amused. “What the heck are you doing? I got to go…” she exclaimed. He gathered strength to hold her tied hands and softly said, “I like you very much. I want to spend my entire life with you. I want to marry you” Saying this he quietly left the place without waiting for her reaction. As he moved away from her on his bike, he could hear her whisper loudly “Your helmet…hey your helmet”

He remembered her saying that she will give him a strong knock on his head if he proposed her in person. He had done it many times over phone. So just to escape from her knock he had challenged her that he would tie up her hands before he proposed. His intentions were serious whenever he proposed. Her reactions were always frivolous. He believed that what he did today will convey his heart to her.

Let’s hope that the message was conveyed.

Diya- The TurmoiL

And in total anguish he pulled out a cigarette. The lighter failed to trigger leaving him more disgusted than ever. He threw away the cigarette and the lighter in frustration. He did not realize his moves until he banged himself against the side wall with a heavy thud. The impact of the bang put him unconscious down the floor.

His room was everything for him. His Den, hideout, palace, classroom… The most serene place on earth... He never welcomed his friends to his room. Not because they will envy, but he feared they will disturb the setup of his room; his very own private space. His ambience of the room which he dearly called as “Diya” was exactly a near replica of his dream home…The left corner of the room had the thick mattress on the floor with this beautiful night-lamp. The mattress was fully bordered buy small pillows. If you have to count these pillows, I suppose it will just cross a dozen!!! Diagonally opposite to his bed arrangement was his most favorite Music System. If only it can play something of its own other than what he plays, then the system will for sure start crying…It’s the first gadget that goes ON as he enters the room and the last one to go OFF before he leaves. The center part of the room is the most populated area. A small glass table neatly covered with a red velvet cloth. This table holds a Laptop, a mobile, a pen, a small diary and his Cigarette gear (A cigarette pack and a lighter). This is where he spends his late nights. Every morning he wakes up to his favorite tunes. He was own master and servant. He was very keen about the cleanliness and maintenance of his room; his dream Diya!

Today his room totally out of shape. Nothing is in its place. Scattered pillows, dirty corners, unusual darkness are characters of Diya these days. He has lost his discipline in life, compromised his principles, switched away from his passions. He is not what he was… All unwelcome changes have captured him. Everything because she said NO?
The Bang against the wall will repair his mind. Deep within his cry to become good again will wake him up from his downfall. The next morning when he wakes up, he will be a new man. He will wake up with new convictions. All these hopes and fire will last only till her smile flashes across his mind. The turmoil begins again. Diya will go out of shape again. There will be another Bang on the wall.
