Close Apart (Chapter-10)

Close Apart
Chapter – 10
“Just Another Day
(Without the One You Love)”

Aditya was supposed to spend somewhat seven days without Amrita, but already on his day three, he felt like that he couldn’t handle this anymore.

“The Reliance customer you are trying to call is busy, please try calling later.”
And then she went on saying this crap in many different languages, but they all meant the same…
Aditya was struck in his life with no clue of his wellbeing whatsoever!!

Aditya dialed again, this time it rang!!

“Hey sweetie! What’s up?” Amrita said over the phone.

“Wow! Amazing!”

“What’s Amazing?” enquired Amrita

“It’s just that hearing your voice brings a smile on my face!”

“Just a sec! I guess I’ve heard this in some movie…”

“Oh come-on, don’t you get the feeling behind those words?”

“Yes I got!! Now my dear, could we conclude? I’m on roaming and I don’t want to answer stupidly when mom asks me whom I am speaking to…”

“You haven’t told her about me?? About Us?”
“Not so early stupid! I am looking for the perfect time to bring this matter to her concern. Don’t you trust me? You love me a lot, right?”

“Well let me think! Yeah, a lot!”

“How much?”

“A million…”

“Only a million!”

“Divided by a cute Zero!”

“So our love doesn’t exist…”

“Just the opposite, it’s infinite…”

“Look Aditya, I really need to hang up now. Bye, Take care!”

Aditya again tried to concentrate on his work. But fate had something else in his plan.Manish entered Aditya’s cabin,

“Mom called last night…” Manish sounded a little off-track.

“So?”

“Your mom, called last night.”

“Come again!”

“You heard it…”

“No I mean why would she call you?”

“Because you won't listen to her!”

“Please, don’t puzzle me. Tell me what’s it all about?”

“Look Aditya, you will have to settle in life someday. You can’t go on leaving all alone! You won’t date anyone, won’t even let your mom find someone for you, and you even not take help of your friends! Why are you laughing? Am I telling a joke?”

“Chill out buddy! Relax! I was…”

“NO you listen. I know this really great girl, she’s my fiancé’s friend, and you meet her to tell me…”

“Listen up! I don’t need this!”

“Why?”

“Because I’ve found someone!”

“Is it?”

“Yep!”

“And you’re in love.”

“Right…”

“And she’s the one.”

“Absolutely”

“And she’s right now out of station.”

“How the hell did you know that!!?”

“Because that’s what you said me last time I asked you out for a date… I mean with a girl.”

“But this time its true!”

“I don’t believe you!”

“But Manish!”

“Not till I meet her…”

“But she’s…”

“Aha! No way!”

“O.K.”

“O.K. What?”

“You’ll meet her.”

“When?”

“Next Week.”

“Tomorrow!”

“The day after…”

“Deal!”

“Hey! Wait!! It just slipped out of my tongue!!”

“A promise’s a promise buddy!”

“Listen!!”

“You show me your girl, or you go for a date with my girl…”And Manish swayed away to his cabin.

“I’ll surely date your girl…Get married first!!” Aditya shouted.

But where’s he going to find Amrita? So soon!!

Close Apart (Chapter-32)

Close Apart Chapter-32 “Shopping Day” Amrita took Komal for her wedding day shopping! Komal tried a lot to dodge Amrita but then she was not so resourceful when it came to denying someone. “Look, all my life I’ve been either studying or working, actually I didn’t get real time to dress-up or to party around. So I am what you’ll call a fashion disaster” confessed Amrita. “Don’t worry! I’ll Help You out! You won’t be a fashion disaster on your wedding day.” Komal smiled and replied. After sometime, Amrita was lining up in front of the trial room while holding few dazzling dresses. “I know the decision was a bit hasty, but after so many days without him, I don’t have the patience of staying away anymore! I know, you must be thinking that getting married in a registrar’s office is such a boring thing to do, but for me the companionship is much more important than a fancy wedding! And even Aditya seems to be quite supportive about this.” Amrita finished as she went in one of the trial room...
Close Apart Chapter-16 (Untitled) Aditya wasn’t at all recovering from his sad state of mind. He made numerous efforts to track down information about Amrita & her family, but nothing useful came up. Manish was concerned about his friend’s wellbeing, and so he called up Komal and cleared all the confusion that they were having. It was Sunday morning; Aditya got a call from Komal. “Hi!” “Hi…” “What are you doing today?” “You mean this afternoon?” “I meant now!” “Well, nothing actually!” “Then we can meet…” “Look Komal, I am actually not in a mood to…” “Moods, as they say, are made… and not imposed!” “That was exactly what I intended to remind you…” “Great! Then see you in half an hour at Pizza Hut!” “I guess I don’t have any choice…” Aditya knew he would have to get up from his bed and get ready if he wanted to be there on time, but he sulked. World has changed from what it used to be a few days earlier, and he didn’t feel a thing about it that’s left to live for… ******************...

Close Apart (Chapter-19)

Close Apart Chapter-19 “The British Council Mystery (Part-II)” “Komal you don’t have to do this!” “Trust me, I’ll have to. “ “O.K. listen, try to find out as much information as you can about the server they are using & about its network administrator Mr. Bakshi.” “Why him?” “Because only he has got the power to insert any virus or Trojan in the server & I had this feeling before that he’s up to something.” “O.K and I’ll see you in 2hrs or so…” “Right, note everything, take pictures if necessary and…” “and?” “Don’t run into unnecessary troubles!” “I won’t.” “Manish will drop you on his way…” “No, I’d prefer to take my Press car with me…” Watching Komal going away, Aditya had this strange feeling. He realized that she was going to risk her job to find out something for his defense; Aditya realized that something has creped into his self silently. So silently that he never even realized that it rested there. Rested just to remind his of its exist...
