" love is patient , love is kind :):);)"

" I came home at 7:45 from office and can be more late in future. So, i was just informing and not getting angry." she wrote in an upset mood and logged off. She couldn't suppress her resentment and fury at his words.

At night, sleep didn't come to her easily as his accusations kept coming to her mind over and over.

Her next day at office passed in the same waiting and anxiety which sadly didn't end with the day as there was no message from him. These clouds of despair retained for another two days .She suppressed her desire to write him many times as it was his turn to write back.

In awe to read another msg from him she logged in on Sunday, but lack of his msg provided no relief to her. finally she wrote him something like

" Ok, now u dnt have any reason to be angry and yet you are not responding. I won't bother writing you again."" good bye".

She hit send without giving another thought. Sudden rush of sadness through her heart made her eyes sting. But that wouldn't be rational, it was too early to be in love with him .

Suddenly there flashed 1 on her inbox.

"Don't log off " came his message which surprised her beyond measures.

"So now you want to talk, why didn't you thought about this last week " she retorted back by her message.

"Will u give me chance to explain :p " he simply replied.

" I was not in Delhi last week. Was finished reading your last msg when u wrote today " came his reply.

She read it twice but couldn't  think of good enough response.

He messaged again " Are we seriously never talking again ???" .

"No-No" she messaged followed by another one saying " I mean i am talking and by the way why aren't u visible on chat box?".

" I am logged in from cell so we have to talk like this only" he messaged again.

"Where were you last week ?" she asked.

" Chandigarh, vacation with family." came his answer.

"So, how's your job?" he asked this time.

"Its fine. Still trying to adjust in new place" she wrote.

"There wasn't any reason for you to be angry" she messaged fearing about his reply.

"Your words hinted that u don't want to talk" was all he wrote.

she wasn't sure what to write so kept waiting until he wrote "What happened? "

Before she could answer came his another MSG " so you won't be online any day except Sundays ?? :( "

"Even Sunday's are not confirmed" she answered.

"What about talking on phone??" he asked

"Why don't we mail each other ? I'll be having access to my id whole day ?" she asked.

"OK " came his message.

"Bye, talk to u later . keep checking your emails ;) " came his message at the same time when she wrote " Missed talking to u last week ".

" :) :) Ditto" he simply replied.

"Bye " she wrote and logged off in much lighter mood. Well this conversation at least dissolved her frustration and anxiety from last week.

"a lot  like love........"

Next day, she logged in at the same time expecting to find him online and fortunately there he was.
"Hi" he initiated this time.
"How did you find me " she asked straightaway
"I mean how do you know my name " she further added.
"That's a secret ;)" he joked
"No seriously it couldn't be coincidence, that you found me just like that." she wrote frustrated by the lack of his answers.
"I heard it when your friend called you on metrostation that day " he finally answered her question.
"And by the way, reply to hi is generally "hi" or"how r u ?" :p" he added sarcastically.
"Ummm i forgot to ask this yesterday , so couldn't supress my curousity. And hi by the way" she answered with a smile.
" :D " came his message.
5 minutes passed and none of them wrote anything.
"From whose side were you in that marriage? " she asked not sure whether to ask or not.
"He is son of my father's close friend." came his reply
"And you ??" he inquired further.
" Bride. don't know exactly some far off relative of my mother ;) " she answered his question.
"Thanks by the way.  " she wrote shyly.
" :) My pleasure " he responded.
" Do you even know why i thanked you ??" she asked suspiciously.
" Want to tell yourself " he asked, but somehow she knew by his reply that he was aware that she was thanking for the compliment he payed her last time.
Couldn't think of a suitable reply nd feeling shy as well she took her time. Before she could write something her chat box flashed 1.
"U there ?" he had asked.
"Yeah " she simply replied.
"You seem shy !!" he had written .
"Not by any chance :p" she replied back
In order to change topic she wrote
"How r ur studies going ?"
"Am i being interwied !! :o " he joked again
"Not at all , i just wondered. U can ignore d question " she wrote taken aback.
"I stood first in my first year, 2nd in bth scnd and thrd year, nthng in frth and let see where i go this year" he replied earnestly.
":o impressive :)" she added surprised.
"Well i m nowhere near , just been avg my whole life " she added.
" hmmm..." was all he wrote back.
After another second
"U single ??" flashed in her chatbox.
"Yeah nd u ?" she wrote
"Ditoo" came his reply.
in order to prevent awkwardness she bid him goodbye and logged off.
Next day unintensionally she was waiting for the clock to strike 5 so that they could talk. When finally the time came she logged in and waited for page to open completely.
 He wasn't online and sadness filled her heart. It was then  she noticed a message from him came dat day. He wouldn't be able to come that day was all he had written. She felt the last ray of hope  setting along with the sun as she read that message.
Unfortunately this was her last day off. she he had to join for job from the next day. Before logging off she left him with a message
" Wont come online at 5:00 from tomorrow."
The fact that he bothered to inform her lifted her mood from the sadness she felt by the lack of his preence.
Her first day at office kept her busy so he crossed her mind only once or twice unlike past few days , when he occupied most of her thoughts.
Instead of being busy she couldn't help but noticed the time passing when she was supposed to be talking to him.
After reaching home she turned on fb as soon as she could in hope of getting another message from hm. And there it was !!
"I was genuinly busy and couldn't come , so there is no need for you to get angry. Your wish, dnt come if u wish."

FINALLY, THEY TALKED......

It wasn't just her who was affected by this unusual encouter of theirs, may be that's why he tracked her down on facebook.. he sent her a friend request along with a message reading as follow

" Nice seeing u thrice ;) "

she felt happy and even smiled on checking his dashing profile pic followed by immediate acceptance of his request.
This acceptance of her's finally laid the foundation of this story.
2 weeks post this acceptance she had another message from him reading "I'll be online on friday at around 9:30 p.m.". she replied but before clicking send rephrased those words about 4 to 5 times and finally send something like " Can't come that late ."
There was another 1 flashing on her message bar on the following day. Her elation finally subdued on reading a simple "Hi" from some old school friend. with an unreasonable sadness she logged of from her account.
2 days passed in same waiting and despair. Finally on 2nd friday of october they both were online on the same time.
"Hi" she initiated.
"Hi" came his reply.
she couldn't think of any reply so waited for him to write but didn't got any reply for another 5 mins.
"Stopped using metro ? : p" finally came his mesage.
"Ummm.., nowhere to go by metro " she replied.
"Meaning over with college and yet to join office " she explained further.
"Which college ??" he asked.
"IP university" she replied back.
" B.Tech?" he further asked.
" U are good at guessing :O" she wrote with a smile.
" :)" came his reply.
" What r u doing ?" she inquired this time .
"Law. Final year." came his reply.
she already knew he was a year older by his profile info.
"from delhi university" he further added.
She couldn't  think of anything to ask or say so finally wrote
"Bye. meet u another time mayb at metro station ;)  LOL" and was about to logg out when came his message
"U looked good in that marriage" followed by another in a sec
": p bye ,tc "
she wanted to reply but thought better off since she had already said bye. So just logged out and kept replaying this conversation in her head over and over.
