PART-5

I took the call… (l saw the watch it showed  1 o’ clock .she didn’t give me the chance to wish her)

She didn’t say anything for some time….. 

 I said.

Sorry dear. I never thought that you would be affected this way with my behaviour. I am not a perfect friend for you. I am very bad. You deserve a better friend than me. I failed to understand you. There are many things that I wanted to tell you but I’m scared about the consequences ( I glided in my words by landing this statement). From the past few days I was in the bad mood. I ignored you .a sweet heart like you should not be treated like the way I did. I made you cry. Don’t forgive me .Just punish me I’m ready for that

She kept mum….

Talk to me dear …I said

After some time she managed to say

Don’t be sorry dear. I can understand that you are depressed .you don’t have to blame yourself. I did not miss you on my birthday. I don’t want your promise to be broken .That’s why   I came to your home. I talked to you. You don’t need to wish me.Your presence enough for me.it will happen some times when we are struggling with something. What one could do when such kind of circumstances hovers around us? By the way what you are feared about .why you have to be scared about consequences. its nothing wrong in sharing the problems with friends. Right?? Then why you are hesitant to tell me. Don’t worry I’m there for you to not only share your happiness but also your sorrows …

She is one who was hurt by me . Now she forgot all about that and asking me about what bothering me and consoling me.she is the most innocent and sweetest person I ever met in my life

So far I am feeling like a dead beast but I felt relieved with her words

No.its not like that.I should not have behaved like that …just give me a punishment…I insisted

Okay I will punish you …But before that tell me one thing…you consider me as your best friend .don’t you???.. She said

You are my best friend. I said

Then tell me what the matter is. What is the problem….she asked with the clear alto

At that time I failed to utter a word .I paused for a moment and

I said

Actually….. I am thinking about someone since past few days .i guess I’m in love. I am not even able to sleep properly since the past few days. I don’t know whether she loves me or not.

Oh my god…you are in love .you have found your girl .Tell me who is she??? She uttered quickly

I was not at all prepared for this kind of scene. Should I tell who she is? or should I make it simple

Or should I make it a more special?I was flooded with all these thoughts

Hello……….. What happen???  She asked

I will tell you. But not now I said

No way you have to say now .she said

Let’s make a deal. I tried to skip the scene at that moment

What deal? ….no deals just tell me who she is?? She insisted

Listen to me once….i said

Ok I’m listening. She said 

I will show you instead of saying who she is ok….

Ok deal then…..she said

Before she hung up she fired a bullet……… what is her name???

You have to wait till tomorrow for that too.  I dodged her question….she hung up by expressing her despair in her tone

After sometime I doze off by thinking how to propose her

PART- 4

i reached home around 11 P.M .A message flashed on my mobile screen. it was from priya

It feels very nice for me on knowing that my birthday is special for someone. Thanks for this day yashwanth.This is my best birthday ever. Thanks for the gift ...i loved it i m on my way to read it I know this is going to be my best book i ever read in my life. You are my best friend i don’t want to miss you for any reason. I hope we will be best friends forever...

I am happy with the entire message except "best friends forever “I just dont want to be a mere friend .i wanted to say that i wished to be her partner for life but I didn’t. That’s how my love birthday ended. though it ended with despondency on my face i was happy with the day.....

But today I did a stupid thing by ignoring her feelings, by ignoring a special day of my life
it feels very dejected when a friend close to us meet us on birthday and forget to wish us...it gives them a feel like ”we lost importance in their life”

I reached my reading table to write a mail to her. I saw new book on that table. it was “Gone with the wind “book .The book I gave on her last birthday. She returned it to me .i didn’t observed that she brought this book today. I felt some wetness on that book I wondered where it came from...

Damn it……she cried.

i made her cry. I made my cute princess cry ...how stupid I’m. She is the one who wanted me to see happy she is the one who trust me well. She never did a thing that hurt me. Why i am punishing her with my stupid behaviour .why she have to cry on her birthday for a stupid like me. She deserves happiness not tears.

I dialled her number again but the auto voice repeated the switch off statement. I kept on dialling and this way an hour passed I was unable to talk to her. I felt uneasy for what I had done. I kept blaming myself. I could not think off anything. I should apologize. But those repeated statements making me impatient

I wrote a mail to her

Hey dear,

“Do you remember I promised you on your last birthday .that I won’t let you to miss me.  I’m sooooo sorry dear. I broke that promise today .I am bad. I missed you on your birthday. But the sad part is I failed to wish you though you are in front of me…I feel so bad right now. I know you cried I failed to sense that. Don’t cry for me dear don’t let those tears for stupid like me. i wont worth those precious tears .you don’t have to be hurt like that. it’s me who needs to cry for hurting the ingenuous person like u. you deserve a better friend than me. I know sorry not enough but I wanted you to know how I truly feel……

                                                                        
                                                       Forgive me.”

I was not happy with that. I wanted to talk to her. I was feeling guilty that I am the reason for someone’s tears.

It’s hard to decide how to Care for a person When you know that one step forward will make you fall in Love And one Step Backward will ruin your Friendship..

I was engrossed in her thoughts I was unable to sleep ..

it was 1 A.M then my cell rang
……..

it showed “priya calling”

PART-3

I tried again and again but failed to get her on phone.. i hated myself at that moment..i still remember the words  which she told me on her last birthday. that was a special day of her life. for me it’s more special. I remembered every moment of it.....

March 3,2011....8 Pm

I called vikranth, neha, pooja  To my home. and we planned a grand birthday party for her
I told neha n pooja that go to a movie(mr.perfect) and make sure that priya will come along with you..i know priya will surely reluctant to movie at this time..but we make sure that she had to come ... coz she is diehard fan of prabhas....so she won’t say no. we wanted to keep her out for sometime so that we can decorate her room before they going to movie she called me and asked  me to come. But i said i was busy and told her to carry on....i and vikranth went to priya home and told her dad about our plan ....her dad gave Us permission...We went to her room...and we decorated her room with full of flowers and balloons and ribbons.
At 11 pm i called pooja and told that come out of theatre and took priya to restaurant.
They did as i said....they were having supper in restaurant then i was busy in arranging
Den i got a message from priya....

i know tomorrow is special day for me. But i don’t think its special until celebrating it with our closed ones.....i hope u will be there to make my day more special for me..

 i don’t know what made her to say like that..But sometimes she make me feel that i am important to her with her messages...sometimes her messages filled with immense caring and affection....And i replied
Hey priya....as long as i am your friend...I won’t let you to miss me... i promise.
I told pooja that everything is finished just come out....pooja ,neha, priya reached home around 11.50 pm...priya went her room opened the door she switched on lights .........................................................................................................
the room with full of flowers and balloons surprised her...she was awestruck with that....she just smiled and looked back...she was very surprised with our presence. She was overwhelmed with the surprise. Suddenly tylorswift songs (her favorate) were on the air. she cut the cake..her room is echoed with birthday wishes .But one thing i wanted to do different ... i brought a gift for her....no one knows about this so i wanted to give her personally....but  i didn’t get the chance to give so i holded it back
everyone one is busy in making up her face with cake and sprays....her mom dad came into room wished her.we danced we cracked jokes...at last we ended the party at 2 am....
......
That day i woke up at 9 am...
as soon as i woke i got a call from priyas mom.she told that they were arranging dinner at home so she asked me to come in evening..Priya messaged me to come early
I asked.... Is vikranth ,pooja reached??
No. They are on the way..i want you to be here within halfanhour. she ordered..I reached her home and and i met her mom and helped her in arranging...
Then after some time i went to priya room...
She was busy in getting ready...
How about neha ,pooja, vikranth.??? I asked while entering into her room
They are on the way....
Hey how is my dress...she asked in excited tone
superb....wait .But you don’t like that colour...Right?? i asked her with a puzzled look
i dont like then but not now. she said. i wondered that what might be the reason for her sudden change in her likes...
i asked her. Any reason for sudden change??
Because black is one of my best friends fav color...she landed her statement 
whos fav color it is??....i asked with a smile on my face        
Think, you will get to know.. she said

These littile  things she will do for me made me to fall in love with her.. My cute princess looked gorgeous in that black dress

we ended that day with the grand dinner..while leaving to my home.. i gave a fully decorated and packed box to her( it’s a gift).and i left for home..Exactly 11.pm she messaged me.
The message she sent me brought Despair on my face
