..............placing the cup of tea on the table he asked again "Are you sure, they want to meet me..." Jai was holding Meena's hand now. Meena with her very beautiful eyes and neatly curved eye brows, her smile that made a perfect symmetric curve. "Of course dumbo............and please wear some good clothes and not the one that you wear when you meet me. "You said you love the way I dress.............and you use to like the torn jeans.........." Meena was giving an angry look, Jai then looked down.
Meena after some time stood up and picked her purse to leave. "5pm sharp remember I will be waiting..............." Meena left on her scooty while Jai waved her. When she passed away enough to be not seen by Jai, Jai took his cell phone from his pocket and switched it on. Then he quickly called and said "The lecture is over, sorry but you know I cannot switched on the cell phone during the lecture........." Jai continued to talk and walked towards the nearby cab. He sat in the cab and the cab left the scene.
At a very quiet garden a girl sat reading sms on her cell phone. Most of them seemed to be from a person who loved her. She smiled after reading every sms and then looked upwards and blushed again. She heard a cab arrive, and out came Jai. Radhika was university topper and met Jai in her college when he worked there as a lecturer.After getting out of the college, Jai still remained in contact with Radhika and soon they started to love each other's company. Jai walked to Radhika, she looked around quickly hugged him and kissed him on his cheeks. Then she sat back on the garden seat, Jai gave her a smle and slowly placed himself at the corner of the seat. Radhika moved towards him and slowly held his hand. "Jai, its been about 2 years now and I think it is time............."
Radhika left the garden and Jai was left in a fix. He was not sure what to do. Handling relationships with two different girls for last 14 months, he knew this day would come but was just not sure when...............he was in problem now, and it seemed even God would not help him.
Next day he made two entries in his diary, and then he prayed to God. Evening 5 pm with Meena and 8pm with Radhika. He was not sure what he would do, but one thing was clear that things had gone far away from his hand. He dressed up nicely and reached Meena's place a little after 5pm. The apartment was a fairly large one and it seemed was more populated by the upper middle class. He tooke to the elevator which carried him to the fourth floor. Jai rang the bell and now, was greeted by Meena. She quickly pulled him in. Just then her Father came from one of the inner rooms. He was a man in his early 50s, he was wearing a thick sweater probably to protect him from the air conditioner that was blowing in full power. "Have a seat son............Meena's mother is making a special meal for you. She is very excited to meet you." Meena's father welcome Jai.
Jai was sweating and his conscious was eating him from inside, he was not sure how the evening would end...............what he knew was that he was not doing things in the right way.....................
