My three words have a meaning,
which is true, from each and every part of my heart...
...and it’s all for
you.

He: “Just a peek”
She: “No”
He: “Oh common”
She (laughing): “No no...No way”
He: “The wait...it’s hard for me you know”
She (laughing): “Sleep alone now”
He: “huh”
She: “I feel nervous”
He: “What does that mean?”
She: “Nothing...just this is so amazing but I feel so shaky”
He: “Panicking huh...we can do it later, when you are comfortable then”
She: “I will kill you!”
He (laughing): “You said it first”
She (ecstatic): “Tomorrow...finally, yes”
He (laughing): “This time get ready on time”
She (smiling): “I will make you suffer your whole life”
He: “Yes please”
The three words, the silent vows
Beautiful isn’t it? You are too.
The force is strong here...he he
he.

“Coffee?”
He took out a piece of paper from
his notebook and scribbled it in.
“Name is important. How would she know it is from me then?”
“Dude...you can just go talk to her. She is
sitting right there”
“You mad or what. Just look at
her. What if she doesn’t like me and slaps me instead?”
“Or she could still slap you after seeing
this note”
“Then I would have time to run at least...now pass it along”
The note went from him to Ramesh,
Suresh, Nilesh, Mukesh and many people. Some read it and gave thumbs up to him
while some laughed hard thinking he is gone now.
Eventually the lecture ended but
the note was still passed along. Maybe it reached her or maybe not. Everyone
stood up and started to disperse as soon as possible while there he was
wandering among the masses to see if the note finally reached to him or not.
To his dismay she was nowhere to
be seen in the classroom and he couldn’t find the note itself.
“Hey you passed the note to her right?”
“Yeah dude”
“And she read it?”
“I don’t know...the lecture ended and I went
out in a hurry”
“Oho”
Restless, his heart was beating
fast. There are times where we are so anxious to know of the outcome that we
lose sight of what is around us.
“Ahem”
Yes...it was her. Didn’t we see
enough movies already?
She: “You know passing a note was a pretty lame idea”
He (embarrassed): “I don’t know”
She: “Hmmm”
I hate this “hmmm”
He: “I am really sorry...I apologise for this”
His head filled his shame; he put
his head low and started walking away from her.
She (laughing): “I never said no you know”

“Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?”
“Say yes, say yes please” was all he was thinking while her father
gave him the stern look.
Maybe he was struck by the audacity
of him asking for her hand.
He looks behind towards her
daughter. She looks at her father and nods in unison for his approval.
He could see her eyes being lit
up. The innocence of her face, reminded him of her mother and he just couldn’t
say anything else.
***
“Take care of my daughter”
Her father rests his hands on his
shoulders. He could feel his warmth and compassion.
Smiling he says “I promise” and they both have the nod
of understanding.
She: “Now what was my dad telling you?”
He (smirking): “That I have the full permission to torture
you”
She: “Oh we will see who gets tortured”
He: “Hey look out...wait hold my hand”
