Vishnu was sitting in the Balcony and thinking about the incidents that had happened that day. He still couldn’t believe that all this had happened in one day and all of a sudden. But he was very happy now. He was sipping his coffee and looking at the sky.
The Sky was Crowded with stars and the moon was hiding
partly behind the clouds. It all looked Beautiful to him. Never felt like this
before. Everything seemed to be Romantic Right now. He was in Love!!!
“Uyirkullae Yetho Unarvu Poothathey
Padagu Minnal Ondru Kavizhnthida
Sevikullae Yetho Kavithai Ketkuthey
Ilaya Thendral Vanthu Ennai Mella Thoda”
He started to recollect the past. The day, he first met her!!!
Four Years Before.
Vishnu’s Long wait to join a B school ended with his
Admission into One of the top B schools in India.
He had been working in IT Company in Chennai for two years
after his Engineering. Vishnu’s hometown was Pollachi and he was so happy to
move to the closest city, Coimbatore to pursue his MBA. He had to stay in the
college hostel. Arun and Nithin were his roommates in Hostel.
One week into the college, Vishnu started to like the place
and the hostel life .Though it was hectic, he was having good time with his new
buddies. It was the Saturday Eve and Arun was so desperate to leave the campus
to have some fun.
Nithin:
“Dude! There is going to be a Fresher’s night now. Our seniors would be
performing to entertain us. Why don’t we
stay back?”
Arun:
“Macha come on da. It’s Saturday! After a hectic week, all I need now is to get
out and have a beer!”
Vishnu: “Me
tooooooo. Anyways it gonna be boring here. Let’s go”
They got ready to leave. Vishnu and Arun started their bikes
and were waiting for Nithin.
The Fresher’s night was about to start in the ground
opposite to the hostel. Students from both the years were seated facing the
stage and some senior guys were on the stage making the arrangements.
A group of Girls dressed up in half saree (traditional
Outfits) passed by.
Arun
(looking at them):”Not bad: P (Blushed)
Vishnu: “Macha
I’ll go sign the register in the warden’s room, wait for him here”
Vishnu got down from his bike and Started to walk towards
the warden’s room which was at the other end, just between the girls and boys
hostel. No one was there on the way as everyone had gathered in the ground for
the function. Vishnu went inside the warden’s room and signed the register for
the three. They were the only three going out that night: P .While he came out
of the Warden’s room the lights went off. Probably some failure due to the arrangements
made in the ground. The wires were lying on the road.
Vishnu took out his mobile and turned on the Torch light in
his mobile. He had to walk another 500 metres to his bike. He started to walk
slowly.
“Hello!!! Anybody out there!!!” Vishnu could hear someone
calling from behind.
He turned back and saw a girl standing near the Girls hostel
gate. He walked closer to her. He couldn’t see her face in the dark.
Vishnu:
“hello”
Girl: “Hi!
I just got struck up here. Could you please walk with me to the grounds?”
Vishnu:”
sure!”
They started to walk towards the ground together. The torch
was not powerful but it was decent enough to see the road and the wires. They
walked carefully away from the wires. Vishnu could see that she was wearing a
half saree too. ”oh Senior!” he confirmed to himself.
Accidently she walked over the wires and her half saree got
struck up to it.
Vishnu:”
carefull... Don’t move. Let me help”
He bend down and could see the wires. Thought for a sec and
took his Bike key. There was a small Knife in the key chain. She was a bit
shocked.
Girl :
“Please Don’t cut My saree L”
in a sad tone
Vishnu:
“Don’t worry Only the wire J
“
He carefully cut the wires and threw them aside.
Vishnu:”
there is a Small Part struck up to your saree you can remove it in later.”
Girl:” Not
a problem. Thank you” replied quickly.
They walked slowly and almost reached the ground.
Girl: “Thank
you so much”
Vishnu: ” U’re
welcome”
She started to walk swiftly towards the stage in a hurry.
Cha! I didn’t even ask her name. Vishnu thought to himself.
The Emergency Lights kept on the ground were working. Still
Vishnu couldn’t see her face well. The lights tuned on now and Vishnu could see
her wearing a Yellow and green half saree, almost running towards the stage.
His mobile was ringing.
Vishnu:
“Hello”
Arun:”
Macha where are you? “Come soon.
Vishnu: ”
ya two mins da”
He started to walk towards his bike.
Arun and Nithin were ready and waiting for him.
Vishnu became Curious. He was in no mood for getting out
now. He wanted to see her.
They started their bikes .He reluctantly got into his bike
and was pressing the Self start. It didn’t work. He tried a few times.
Arun: “Use
the kicker da”
Vishnu wasn’t there. He was merely pushing the kicker.
Nithin:
”Dey? What happened to you? Kick strong man”
Vishnu Thought for a while. He had decided now.
Vishnu: “Guys…”
(Paused for a sec and continued) Am not feeling well “
Arun: “Dey
! What happened? “
Vishnu:
“Headache da”
Arun:
“Come on dude, a beer will bring them all down “
Vishnu: ”
Macha illa. Why don’t you guys carry on? I’ll stay and take some rest”
Arun: ”Come
on ra”
Nithin: ” Hey Arun, don’t compel him. He doesn’t look
good now. Macha u go and take rest. We’ll get you a cold one on return”
Vishnu: ” ya sure da. U guys enjoy”
Vishnu Slowly got down from his bike and moved towards his
room while arun and nithin left.
He made sure they had long gone and started to rush towards
the ground.
He saw his batch mates sitting in the second row and walked
towards them to find a place to sit.
A Mime was going on. Vishnu couldn’t wait. He was
recollecting. The girls who passed by them where wearing Red and Green while
she was wearing a Yellow and green one. Let there be only one wearing that
color, he wished.
There came the announcement for the dance. And the lights on
the stage went off. Vishnu was on the edge of his seat.
When the Lights turned on, a bunch of girls were lines up in
the stage. All of them wearing red ones.
Where is she??? L Vishnu was
disappointed.
They started to dance for the Folk song.
She is not dancing tonight? May be she got disappointed with
the Wires that struck to her half saree and didn’t wanna come to the stage with
it. Vishnu felt sad that he missed to see her. Now that he won’t be able to
find out who she was. He stood up and came out and started to walk away.
The music Stopped for a sec and a new Music Started playing.
“Kanna Moochi yenada…. “
He turned back and the focus light was directed on a girl
who was entering the Stage.
That’s her. Yellow and green half saree. The song continued
“Kannamoochi yenada en kanna , naan kannaadip porul
poaladaa !!!”
Vishnu was Clean Bowled. She was so beautiful and danced
gracefully. Vishnu couldn’t take his eyes out of her. He stood there frozen...
She tried to hide the bottom of the saree consciously while dancing and Vishnu
noticed it. “She is Cute!!! “
A guy from behind came to him and asked him to get seated.
Vishnu took a seat in the last row but still he could see her .The senior batch
people were sitting near him.
“Neethu looks good in this half saree na?” A Girl sitting near him asked to her friend.
Vishnu: Hi!
Neethu… The girl in Yellow-Green Half saree?
Girl: Yes!
My Class mate!
She could see him blushing looking at Neethu.
Girl: “Btw
she is your senior: P”
Vishnu (without turning his head): “That’s okay :-)”
