Meet Sheetal Gupta Contd...
Good Morning everyone. Here I'm continuing with my narrative about my friend A.
So far, the story is that my friend was pretty upset that one of his friends, has stopped replying his messages lately. The girl stays in Rudrapur and some how got his number. It took him a full bottle of Kingfisher strong to bluff out this secret to me and a mutual friend of ours, C. There at the BAR, A and C were serious and I suddenly bursted out laughing after listening to A's narrative.
Actually C has guessed it right. The actual reason of the outburst was some thing else.
To these reaction I began, 'Saale, koi Sheetal veetal nahi hai. Who main hi thha jo tujhse Sheetal ban kar baat kar rahaa thha. Par kamine tune bataya nahi itne din se.' As expectedhe did not believe me.
A:Abe tera number to mere paas hai.
Me: Maine nayaa number liya thha.
C:Yaar, yeh kyaa chal rahaa hai, koi mujhe bhi kuchh bataega ya main aise hi hoon yahaan.
Me:Ruko yaar, main puri kahaani sunata hoon. Tabhi isko vishvaas hoga.
Now we moved to flash back.
The story goes back by two more months. I had taken a new SIM card to talk to my parents and friends. I'm a prolific talker and this new connection had lesser call rates so I bought it. I also got an offer with the new connection that I could send some free messages for one month.
Two or three days after the activation of the new connection, I sent a message to A's number. It had slipped out of my mind to tell him the new number. So he questioned back as a reply of the message that, who was it?
As I was about to type my name and a mischief struck me. I told him a fictitious story, that I was a girl, named Sheetal. I stay in rudrapur. To this he asked, how she got his number?
Sheetal (Me): I'm also a student at ABC and am preparing for the same exam that you are of. So I saw your application form and got your number.
A: What made you interested in me?
S: It was your college that drew my attention to you.
A: Have you seen me ever?
S: Yes.
A: Where? How come I never noticed?
S: Because I never made you feel so.
A: You still haven't answered my question, that where did you see me?
S: In a restaurant, on Sunday.
A: Yes, I was there but where were you? I don't remember talking to any girl or being ogled by any one.....
S: Actually I could not recognize you at once. But you looked familiar. So after a lot of hard work I could remember you finally.
At this point it seemed to me that A had started to fall for the trap and his next reply confirmed it.
A: OK. So what you do besides studying? Where do you stay in Rudrapur?
S: I'm in final year of Engineering at G.B. Pant University and I stay at my maternal uncle's place near to the restaurant. I was wondering that I could ask you a favor.
A: Yes.....Wish granted.....You may.
S: I was wondering if you could solve some of my doubts in _______ subject......
A: I would have loved to but I myself am not too good at it.
S: In that case can we study together.......Your or mine....any place would do....
A: Sounds lucrative.....I'll tell you later.....Got to ask my rummy about my place....
Now I was confirmed that he was entirely trapped and decided to continue talking to him only after I meet him next day in the company. So I replied after some time.
S: Sincere apologies for delayed reply. I would hope for a yes from your rummy.....But for now I got to go. Talk to you later. Good night.
A: Good Night Sheetal.
A series of chatting days were followed by that night. It went on for exactly one month, then I stopped replying to his messages.
To this C asked 'Why?'
Me: Arre yaar message recharge ki validity khatam ho gayii thhi aur aage maje lene ka mann bhi nahi thha.
A had the Dharam Paaji looks in his eyes, silently saying to me, 'Kutte, main tera khoon pee jaunga'. C was wondering whether he had my new number and had he been contacted by any girl recently.
But finally I apologized to A. We three had a good laugh about the mischief and it was finally all over in good spirits.
