C.S vs C.S (continuation)
I woke up early in the morning at 5’O clock, got fresh up and went outside to see Murali who is already waiting for me. He took me to the nearby park. While jogging, he repeated the same words what he said yesterday about the change and then started telling me some new things like going to gym to get six pack, watching love story movies, surfing internet for interesting things like bikes, next gen cars and many more.Murali is saying everything with passion, anxiety and sadness because that he cannot be able to do most of the things he is saying to me. He agreed that and wished at least I can achieve what he can’t. He also said that this time he trust me with anything else.
The problem is, I became dumb that it's hard to understand every single word he is saying. But I think that I am smart enough to win the game.
Again we went to shopping with all the credit cards I had in my wallet. He made a very small list for me to shop for that day.
1. Computer with internet connection
2. Gym equipments
3. Movie collection DVDs
And some materials, cloths, items that will be required.
Mom got surprised on seeing the items with us when we returned. Soon she ordered Sundaram and Balu to shift some of the things in my room to the other room. At first I hesitated to ask what she is doing, but I realized only after entering into the other room. It’s very spacious with huge balcony, perfect match for open air gym. With in no time, Balu and Sundaram organized all my stuff in the room. I liked it a lot with perfectly placed items of my taste.
Murali stayed in my house till night, training me how to use computer, in particular about Google and YouTube. He also wrote some of the queries to surf the internet and warned me to use the gym items cautiously. Before leaving he told me to have a nice sleep as we are very tired and to start work outs from the next day morning. While saying bye to Murali, it came to my mind that I can start work outs next day morning, only if I completely aware of how to use each of the items. So I started searching for every detail.
It became my daily routine for the entire week to do only few things like eating nutritious food for every few hours, doing gym/work out, watching movies and surfing internet. My mom is so supportive that she made all the food what I asked and what not asked with smile. At the same time, my father didn't know any of these. He is expecting that I'm very much busy preparing for next semester.
But only two questions bothered me all the time. First, what the change Murali is expecting from me? Second, how will I achieve it doing work outs and watching movies?
With the same questions walking around in my mind, another week passed.
One day I put up a call to Murali and told him to come to my house to ride a new bike I bought.
“ok. I'll be there soon. “ He replied.
Mrs. Chandana Sekhar
Door bell rang and an young lady opened the door.
“Chandana!” Vignudha asked her while she heard a voice from the inside.
“Who is it, Varna?”
“I don't know. They're asking for you sister.” She replied.
Chandana hurried to the door expecting for her friends with great excitement. Whom she expected stood in front of her. Yes it's Vignudha and the others. There won't be any limits to her happiness but within a very few seconds, her anxiety and happiness were replaced by anger and hatred.
She said “Hi” to Ajay, who stood behind Vignudha and told them to come inside. Anyone can understand with her expression that she is hating their presence.
Actually they expected a warm welcome from Chandana, but its no where near to their expectations. EveryOne knew Chanada as a coolest person on the earth, but now smile on everyone's lips just got wiped off with her unpredictable behaviour. Without any second option, they all came inside.
“Varna, bring coffee.”
“How many? Four?”
“Just do what I said. Don't dare to open your mouth in front of me” Chandana yelled at Varna. Varna hasn't said anything wrong but her anger on them made her to talk like that with varna.
“How are you, Ajay? How's your life going?” She enquired only Ajay as others doesn’t exists.
“Chandana, We are here.” When She's leaving to kitchen, Vignudha spoke for the first time after several trails to say Hi.
Chandana tried to control all her feelings , turned towards and started yelling at Vignudha, “ Oh, you are here. Where? Where were you, when ‘He’ needed you? Where were you, when we needed you? Where were you, When Ajay needed you? You were not there when we needed and wanted you. Now, No one is expecting your presence here Vignudha. If any three of you...” She pointed Vignudha, Jai and Saveena, “... are here with a Marriage Invitation, Please get the hell out of here...”
While speaking, She is literally crying and shaking with anger. None of them really dared to speak while she's speaking, but everyone is feeling the pain of her.
She took a short break to breathe and continued in a low tone, “... and Ajay, now you are surrounded by your friends as you wished. So, When are you getting married? Sahithi is waiting, man.”
Everyone got astonished on hearing the name, Sahithi, but as usual none tried to speak except Ajay, with some hesitation asked “How do you know that?”.
“You Idiot. Come here.”, Chandana called him.
She slapped him hardly when he came near her.
Everyone got stunned, even Ajay who got slapped never expected this to happen.
“How do you think Sahithi came to know about you? Who do you think sent Sahithi to you when you're about to become drug addict? It's me, you Idiot...”
Once again, She slapped him and continued “... Alcohol is fine because I know how you felt when none of us with you. it's hard for you to digest the truth of being alone. But, drugs.. not OK. I'm glad that you haven't meet Sekhar directly. Because he'll kill you as soon as he sees you. Even I hadn't told Sahithi about that. If she came to know about that, you'll be in heaven by now, dancing with ramba, urvasi and menaka.”
Silence filled in the every corner of the room except for the music of unheard-able sad song singing by their hearts to which eyelids are dancing in rain.
“Sahithi once gave you an idea of following our activities without any clue to us, remember? She asked me whether she can suggest the idea what I am doing since long time. Yes Ajay, I did the same thing but of no use. Everyone played a big role of pet under parents. Do you know Ajay, Sekhar and I also never wanted to get married in your absence. It's really hard for us but we had to. And Vignudha, I don't know how you took my absence but every second We missed your presence. Have you ever realised that?
I'll ask you a question, Vignudha. Who is really crying, the person who is crying only when the others are watching or the person who is crying only when none are watching?”
When Chandana is about to finish her question, Vignudha dashed towards her and hugged her.
