Close Apart (Chapter-6)

Close Apart
Chapter-6
“Disappear*”


Aditya got back to his office, connected his computer to some website and downloaded software and started working on it.

“Aditya! Is everything O.K. there?”Mr. Arora was standing in front of his cabin.

“Sir I was just going to report to your office…”

“Just saw a Trojan activity on your terminal, so I just came here to check if everything’s alright.”

“Nothing sir, just needed to set up a remote access, so just used it, as you know sir, nothing beats them in service.”

“I know Aditya! But also know that these Trojans are hackers’ best tools.”

“I’ll use them modestly sir, and yes, I’ve fixed their librarian software…”

“That’s good! Alright then, concentrate on your work.”

But I saw Aditya was busy in scanning the ports of the address which Amrita gave him. What was he up to?

“Just as I thought! Almost all the high ports are open… Mr. Bakshi!! You are in trouble!”Aditya murmured.
*****************************************************

Amrita was busy at her desk. The day was proving to be a little messy for her. Firstly, due to the failure of the software, and now due to the slow network speed.

Just when things seemed to settle down a little, a message appeared on her computer screen.

“Just When You Thought That U’re Alone!!”

Amrita had never seen such a thing in her whole life! It appeared as if someone from the outer world was trying to contact her!

Amrita noticed that there was a reply box. She typed in

“Who are you?”

After sometime, another message flashed out…

“Someone who knows you!”

“How the hell did you get in here?”

“Didn’t I tell you that you gave me the keys to your heart?”

“Aditya! Is this you?”

“Yep!”

“But how? We’re not connected to any chat server…”

“We people don’t need chat servers to express ourselves in front of our dear ones.”

“Isn’t this illegal?”

“There’s nothing legal or illegal in this cyberspace. Only thinking makes all the difference.”

“Wow! That was deep…”

“Amrita! I want to say you something…”

“Well, are you going to propose me through a Trojan?”

“So, you know about these things too!!”

“No, just heard about it once…”

“Just Chill! I’m not going to propose you, just wanted to share some of my feelings with you… let’s do it my way…”

The mouse pointer on Amrita’s computer screen moved automatically! Clicked the ‘Internet Explorer’ icon, typed the website address… and after few more clicks, a message popped up…

“Plug in your headphones and concentrate on the song…These are not words, but exactly what I’m feeling right now about you…”

And a clear voice started chanting over Amrita’s headphones…

“There's a pain that sleeps inside
Sleeps with just one eye
And awakens, the moment that you're near
And I search through every face
Without a single trace, of the person
The person that I need
Do you know, that everytime you're near
Everybody else seems far away
So can you come and make them disappear
Make them disappear and we can stay”

Train Encounter(Chap-10)

Train Encounter Chapter-10 Epilogue "Truth is stranger than fiction" I've heard this many a times from many of my friends, but never got a chance to verify it. This July (I mean july2006) when I was on my way back to my college in Nagpur, I was struck for 6 hours at Tatanagar station, I didn't have the slightest idea that I'll get to face one of my life's most interesting moments. Yes, dear reader!! What you just got through last 9 chapters actually happened to be my fellow co-passenger!! I came to know about her problems when I had started chatting with her when I knew that she too was going in the same train. She didn't want to tell this "weird" incident to me at first, thinking that I won't believe her, but then told at last. I was awestruck when she told me that the person was going to meet her that very day!! Well anyone can guess what amazement did I pass when the person turned out to be her Boyfriend!! I just asked them if I could wr

Close Apart (Chap-3)

Close Apart Chapter-3 “Lamb Delight” “Lamb Delight!! Wow, that was some order!” recalled Aditya. Actually, it was about a few months earlier that Manish, a colleague of Aditya tried to hook him up with a girl named Suneeta, who, Manish claimed was one of his girlfriend’s friend. So! On the preplanned Saturday night, Aditya came to this very place and met her. “She was gorgeous!” was Aditya’s first reaction and after a very short stretch of time Aditya started liking everything about her. And when Aditya knew that she was a little bit interested about computer softwares, then it made feel like: “look! Didn’t I tell you earlier? Gorgeous girls like softwares!!” Aditya had this (Well, used to have) symptom of being completely speechless near girls. So he tried to make his order speak of his feelings and he ordered a couple of “Lamb Delights!” Just after the waiter left, Suneeta turned to him and said “Do you know what they have in these?” Aditya was thinking to ask about what she was ref
