A Secret Heart - Part 10

After two years, prithvi got placed in a multi national company and settled in Singapore. Sruthi married someone as her parents wish.

                One day prithvi’s mom talked to him about his marriage.

Prithvi’s mom: Prithvi, I want you to get married soon. I have chosen a good girl for you and I wish to see your marriage before my life ends in this earth. I hope you will fulfill your mom’s wish.

                Prithvi refused to marry other girl cos he still loves maya.

Prithvi: Mom, how many times I have to tell you that I don’t want to marry now. Don’t talk about my marriage anymore.

                Prithvi’s mom insists.

Mom: You are my only son. Like other parents I too wish to see my son’s marriage. Please understand. You just chat with that girl once and I am telling definitely you will like her.  If you don’t like her, let’s stop proceeding.

                She felt very sad and hurt. Prithvi understood his mom’s feeling and agreed to chat with that girl. Prithvi’s mom gave the girl’s mail id to prithvi.

                Prithvi sent a mail to that girl.

“Hi this is prithvi, I hope your parent’s would have told about me to you. If you don’t mind, fix a time and inform me so that we can chat further to know about us well. Reply ASAP. Bye”

                He got a reply,

“Hi, as you said my parents already told me about you a little. Lets chat online today at 5p.m in detail. Thanks and bye”

                At evening 5.30p.m, prithvi came late for the chat session. He sent,

Prithvi: Hi, you there? Sorry for late. I was stuck up in meeting at my office.

                At the other end, it was maya waiting for him.

A Secret Heart - Part 8

                  Prithvi came to maya.

Prithvi: What happened maya? Is she convinced?

Maya: Ya she is… hereafter no more fights between you and sruthi (smiled).

Prithvi: Thank you so much maya. You have made it for me.

Maya: I won’t let things get messed up between good friends like you and sruthi. Ok prithvi now I gotta go. Cya later.

                She walked away. Prithvi thinks of maya how she handled his problem as hers and took effort to clear it up and made everything alright for him. Next he moved to meet sruthi.

Prithvi: Hi sruthi (with a smile)

                Sruthi turned her face away to avoid prithvi.

Prithvi: I know still you are in anger. But I know how to cool you. See what I have got for you.

                He had two chocobars in his hand.

Sruthi: Chocobars to cool me??? Ok I forgive you but both are for me.

                She grabbed the icecreams from him and started to eat. Prithvi watched her silently.

Prithvi: Sorry sruthi. I never do such mistake again. Sorry for hurting you.

Sruthi: It’s ok leave it. Let’s forget that. But I have a punishment for you. You have to be with me all the time for the next two days. Will you?

Prithvi: Oh this much tough punishment I dint expect (he acted like being sad).

Sruthi: Huh spending time with me is tough for you? (angrily).

Prithvi: Cool cool… I will spend time with you for next two days. Ok now?

Sruthi: Hmmm ok.

                Sruthi gave one chocobar to prithvi. They happily had it together. Maya watched everything from the distance and thought she should be away from sruthi and prithvi as she didn’t want to spoil their happiness.

                Next day prithvi searched for maya everywhere in college. But he couldn’t find her anywhere. He asked to sruthi about maya.

Sruthi: You don’t know really? Or acting to me?

Prithvi: What are you talking? (confused)

Sruthi: Maya is absent today. Dint she inform you about it before?

Prithvi: no she didn’t inform me. Why she is absent today? Is she alright?

Sruthi: I don’t know. I told you to spend the day with me. But you are searching for maya here and there. Don’t make me angry again.

                Prithvi was confused and lost in thoughts of maya.

Sruthi was very angry about prithvi’s behavior. Maya saw prithvi sitting alone sadly. She went near him.

Maya: Hi prithvi, why are you sitting alone here?

Prithvi: Nothing maya…simply.

Maya: Anything serious?

Prithvi: I’m little upset.

Maya: Why? What happened?

Prithvi: Sruthi fought with me today. She is very angry on me now. I forgot her birthday yesterday. I dint wish her. I feel very bad… I don’t know how I forgot my best friend’s birthday.

Maya: Relax…go, talk to her and convince her.

Prithvi: She is not ready to talk to me.

Maya: If you wish, shall I talk to her and convince?

Prithvi: Ya maya…please do it for me.

Maya: Ok don’t worry.

                Maya went to meet sruthi.

Maya: Sruthi, are you free now?

Sruthi: Ya Maya I am free…what’s the matter?

Maya: I need to talk to you about prithvi.

Sruthi: There’s nothing to talk about him.

Maya: sruthi, I know you are in anger… but prithvi is very upset.

Sruthi: He deserve it. Don’t talk about him to me.

Maya: He is your best friend…how long will you be angry on him like this? Come on.

Sruthi: You want me to talk to him… right? You know what? Everything happened so far is only because of you…only you.

Maya: Because of meeee? (shocked)

Sruthi: Yes….you are the one who came between me and prithvi. He is not my friend. I love him so much. After you came in his life he changed a lot. If you really want to help us to be together then just get out of prithvi’s life.

                Maya was so silent after hearing sruthi’s words. after a while,

Maya: Sorry sruthi, I am unaware of your love with prithvi. I will never come between you both. Bye sruthi.

Sruthi: Maya one minute, don’t tell anything happened between us to prithvi.

Maya: ok sruthi.

                Sruthi watched maya walking away grumpily.

Days passed. Prithvi and maya became close friends. But sruthi felt that prithvi is going far away from her. Some incidents happened to prove it. Prithvi started to spend time with maya more than sruthi.

On the day of sruthi’s birthday, sruthi waits for prithvi’s call. But he dint call her. So she decided to call him and dialed his number.

Sruthi: Hello prithvi

Prithvi: Hi sruthi, what a surprise? You called me this early morning?

Sruthi: Why don’t I call you?

Prithvi: No, no, I dint say like that…ofcourse you can call me anytime.

Sruthi: Hmmm…so what’s up?

Prithvi: You called me…you have to tell. What’s the matter?

Sruthi: What are you trying to tell? Are you telling that only I have to call you, if I have any matter to talk?

Prithvi: Ssss…oops. Did you call me to talk or fight?

Sruthi: Ok nothing bye.

                She cuts the call. Prithvi was confused about what happened to sruthi. Sruthi waits for prithvi’s call. She got disappointed. She called him again.

Sruthi: Prithvi, where are you?

Prithvi: Sruthi, right now am busy. I will call you later.

                He hangs the call. She again tried to call him. But he dint attend her call. Sruthi thought he is avoiding her call purposely. Sruthi waited for his call until night. But no call from prithvi. She called him again.

Sruthi: Hi prithvi, are you free now?

Prithvi: Sorry sruthi, am very tired. Just now I reached home. I went out with maya today and it was really a great day together. I am so happy today that she accepted to come out with me for the first time. Ok we talk about the rest in college tomorrow. Good night bye.

                Sruthi felt sad that prithvi dint even remember her birthday but went out with maya. Next day at college,

Prithvi: Hi sruthi

Sruthi: Hi prithvi

Prithvi: You are looking dull. Why?

Sruthi: Nothing…you are very happy it seems.

Prithvi: Ya its cos I went out with maya yesterday…unforgettable day in my life.

Sruthi: Oh that’s why you forgot me and my birthday?

                Prithvi was shocked. He realized that he forgot sruthi’s birthday. Sruthi left the place before prithvi says a word.

A Secret Heart - Part 3

Part - 1 & Part - 2

            The day passed out slowly. At evening sruthi came to prithvi,

Sruthi: Did you find her again?

Prithvi: No…(with a breaking voice)

Sruthi: Ok forget about that.

Prithvi: Hmmm…

                They both moved to bus stop. When the bus came they get into it and found no seats are free. They both travelled by standing all the way in the crowded bus. Prithvi hand over his notebooks to sruthi and sruthi gave her notebooks and prithvi’s notebooks to a girl who is sitting beside her in the seat, as she can’t manage to stand with the things in her hands.

                After few stops, sruthi grabbed the notebooks from the girl in a hurry and got down in a stop. Prithvi also got down in the same stop. A few secs later, maya found her note is missing and stopped the bus and got down immediately and saw prithvi and sruthi are walking in a distance.

                Maya called them in a loud voice, “Excuse me”

Prithvi told to sruthi,

Prithvi: Sruthi, even now I am unable to forget her sweet voice, I feel like hearing her voice so near”

Sruthi: idiot, you are not feeling…some one is calling us really.

                They turned back and saw maya coming near them. Prithvi was stunned and happy to see maya and walked towards her. Sruthi followed him.

Maya: You took my notebook too by mistake along with yours. So to get them back I called you.

Sruthi: Oh sorry. Let me check. Wait

                Sruthi checked all her notebooks and said maya’s notebook is not with her. She said prithvi to check his notebooks. Prithvi checked and found a notebook labeled “Maya” in the front page and returned to her. Maya thanked him and moved from there. After she left, prithvi hold sruthi’s hands in joy and said he is very happy that he wanna dance like a mad dog in the road. Sruthi looked him in confusion.

Prithvi: Because of you I saw that girl again today and now I know her name too… Mayaaaa…what a lovely name!

                Sruthi is shocked that she unknowingly brings the girl back into prithvi’s life.
