BE YOURSELF
Treeeeeeng Treeeeeeeeeeng. Ravi opened his eyes one nanometer wide and
saw the time in alarm clock. He was still feeling sleepy. But today he
has to attend Guru's marriage. Guru is Ravi’s friend from 5th standard.
He woke up lazily brushed his teeth, took bath for half an hour,
applied men's Fair and lovely and got ready. His mom got ready before him.
Ravi started his car and reached the marriage hall with in half an hour.
Crowd was less since it was early morning. Marriage went well.
Food was good. Just then his mom pointed a girl to him and told
"This girl's name is Brindha. We are going to her house this weekend."
Ravi looked at that girl, Brindha. She looked good. She was dressed in a
simple saree with not much of jewels. He looked at his mom and told her
"She would never like me." He got up from food and walked to the entrance
of the hall. He knew that this girl will never like him. He looked at her again.
This time she was with another girl and they were talking about him. He
felt tensed. His mom came and he rushed back home.
Brindha was watching television. Her mind was not on that. She was
listening to her younger sister. Her sister told "Hye your crazy. Protest now.
That guy is not looking good. I dint like him. It will be very difficult for
you in future". Brindha nodded her head. Just then their mom came from terrace.
Her mother has always been a mediator to convey her messages to her father.
"Amma! Shall we go for a walk?" Brindha asked her mom. Her mom smiled
at her and they wore slippers and started walking. Brindha started "Ma,
I want to ask you something". Her mom gave an enquiring look. Brindha smiled at
her and asked "Is anyone going to come to our house this weekend?" Her mom told
"Yes! Your dear sister must have told everything by now, don't pretend?"
Brindha started again "This wont work out ma. I don't like arranged marriage.
Give me some time I want to do love marriage only." Though she told this she
was hesitant in facing her mom. Her Mom replied "You are not in your sixteen to give you any more time. And I don't think any guy is crazy enough to love you".
Brindha dint utter a word after that. But she was talking a lot to
herself. What her mom told was right. She has never impressed any guy so far.
She had a lot of friends who used to tease her, irritate her. But never had she
had a boy friend. Reasons for that are very simple:
1) She doesn't know to giggle unnecessarily.
2) She doesn't know anything about English movies, I don't know
Tamil + English.
3) She doesn't know to act (Widening the eyes) as if I have never heard
anyone talking local slang.
4) She doesn’t know how to be stylish. I don't know to eat Idly, Dosa and
vada with spoon.
5) Most important of all she don't know to be diplomatic. Every time
she fights with one person or other and give her own advices and theories
to them.
But now Brindha decided. Whatever happens she will not marry him. She
told to herself "I will wait and definitely I will go for a love
marriage even if it is going to happen after 50 years."
After two months:
Ravi was waiting for Brindha in a temple near his house. He was looking
around at the people. Seems everyone had company and all around him were
happy. He dint know what to do? For past two months since he has met
Brindha it's very clear that he has started liking her in spite of his
control. He is well aware of the fact that she does not have the same feeling
for him. He has shared his problems with his friends and followed their
advices to impress her. He has showered her with gifts expensive chocolates,
flowers, dresses. At first she used to refuse but now she accepts the gifts
but never does she looked impressed with the gifts. He dint know what to do.
Finally he has decided. He needs to talk to her what and all he has in his
mind. He cannot marry her when she is not interested. Just then he saw her
entering inside the temple. There she came towards him, dressed in simplest
outfits but still having magnetism around her. Her eyes were gleaming with
pride, intelligence and confidence. Brindha came towards him and gave a
one mm smile. She told "Sorry. I am little late. Tell me why you called me here." Ravi replied "We are going to get married. Can't we meet?" He dint wait
for a reply. He continued "Brindha we have talked so much over phone. I
could feel one thing very clear that u r not interested in marrying me.
Are you in love with someone?" She stared at him and nodded no. Ravi
started again "Then tell me. Is that you feel I don't look good. Tell me.
All cannot look like Hrithik. This is what I am and tell me if you would
be able to bear with me all your life. When your not interested why your
forcing yourself into this relationship. Don't blame your parents. Let's break
this. It's becoming whole mess. You are not happy neither am I." Ravi was
afraid that he would cry. Every word he uttered was giving him a lot of
pain. Brindha suddenly felt surge of relief inside her.
Both of them came out of the temple. A school van was crossing them.
Just as it turned towards the edge of the road with a sound it hit on a
Lorry. Brindha was shocked and she just stood there with huge shock.
Ravi lifted his head to look at what happened. The school van was tilted to an angle and was leaning on the wall now.
And the lorry was nowhere to be seen. Ravi was just very fast. He shouted at brindha" Get back to your house". And he hurried towards the end of the road.
He immediately called the ambulance. He asked the people standing near for help. Two or three came for help and rest seemed interested only in watching. He was acting fast, carrying all the injured kids to ambulance and helping the hospital staffs. After an hour all the children were taken to hospital and he was tired. He just turned to face the temple, he saw Brindha standing there staring at him. Ravi looked at his shirt with blood stains and walked towards her. "Didn't u go home?" he enquired. She smiled and shook her head. He took a cigarette. "So you smoke?" She asked looking at him. He said "Yes. Last time I lied to you. Actually I have acted a lot to you for past few months. I don't like giving gifts or chocolates or anything. I just don't like. I have never done this to anyone. My friends advised me to." He kept the cigarette inside his pocket. They were walking towards her house. Brindha was listening carefully to him. She just told him "You could have been yourself".
Now he was really feeling likely to smoke. He asked her "I want to smoke. Do you mind?" She looked at him with a smile in her eyes "Actually if I ask you to leave smoking it is like I am dominating you. But if you smoke your lifetime is reduced. And I want you to live with me as long as I live. So I am confused." Ravi dint understand for a while. She continued "I like your nature but there was something that was stopping me to accept for this marriage. Because I felt something is not truthful in you. That?s why I was hesitant. You could have been yourself right from the beginning. Now decision is yours. Will you be able to bear a devil like me?" She gave an enquiring look.
He was flying with happiness. He gave a thoughtful look and told her "It's a very difficult decision...mm. I need sometime" he smiled mischievously at her. She waved bye and went into her house. Her sister came behind her. "Hey Brindha, Tell mom and dad that he is not looking good. And don't marry him." Brindha smiled at her and she thought in her mind that "Wear a lens of love everything looks beautiful. So is Ravi. And you would never understand until and unless you fall in love".
"Aiyooo You are never following my advice "Her sister was screaming. And first time in her life Brindha started day dreaming....mm.. Every living things have there own day (to fall in love)...
