Hari honked wildly at the car moving slowly ahead of him. He was hitting the horn like it was some kind of punch bag. He wasn’t really angry at the traffic or the people who caused it. He was angry at himself, at what he has done or rather what he hasn’t. He isn’t usually like this. He’s a cool headed guy, the kind of guy who stops his car, letting little kids cross the street. Today he seemed to be in a hurry. He checked his watch it was 5.30 pm.
Earlier,
3.12 pm Same Day.
“When are you going to tell her?”
“I will… I will tell her…”
“When? When she is married to someone else?”
“It’s not as easy as it seems… It’s complicated… It’s…”
“Oh come on… How long you been in love with her… three years… you see her everyday at work, still…“
“Just drop it yaar… please…”
“Hari, you are my best friend… I’m telling this for your own good… Listen to me… “
“Chandru I know… I’m scared… I don’t wanna mess it all up…”
“Did you hear about the IIM guy?”
“What IIM guy?”
“Shalini’s mom… Her friend’s son… He’s some finance manager somewhere… Shalini dint tell you about this?”
“She gave head ups to this?”
“Not yet I think… That’s why I m asking you to talk to her ASAP…”
Hari and Chandru sat there in silence. Hari was troubled. Shalini dint say anything about this. He thought may be Chandru was pulling this stuff to make him talk to her. He was really confused.
Hari’s phone rings… Shalini on the other end.
“Shalini… I was just thinking about you…”
“How you been…”
“Better…”
“Can you come over to my place in the evening say around 6”
“Sure…”
[Tell her… Tell her damn it….] Chandru whispers…
Hari hangs up…
“I m seeing her in the evening… Will talk to her then….”
“Good luck pal…”
5.31 pm. Back in the car.
Hari gets a little bit off the line and starts talking to himself…
“You have to tell her man… Don’t hesitate… Be cool… You gotta sweep her off her feet… what do I say? Have to be something really good… hmmm… You are the reason I live, You are the reason I’d die… NO!! that’s Steven Tyler … I live only for your happiness and for your love I’ll give my last breath… God Damn it… stop screwing around with song lines and think straight… Just say how you feel… Here it goes… Shalini I love you… I wanna marry you… Have kids and grow old with you… I wanna wake up every morning with you by my side… That wasn’t bad, was it?...
