part-7

when they met.......

It was odd , in spite of talking so many times she was worried. Worried about what she would say, how she should look, what they would talk about. Thoughts of meeting him kept her awake all night. But when they finally met it was different, very formal kind of thing. They both seemed shy. It took them almost an hour to behave at least like friends. And when awkwardness subsided, they chat for about an hour or two at rajouri station.

They both had spent time in front of mirror before this meeting, this much was obvious. When they left she felt exhilarated and yeah they did exchange no. this time.
Now mail as well as messages kept them aware of anything major happening in their lives. This bond btw them was strengthening. Four more months passed, and they became best of friends. They met twice within this time and those days made to the list of "top 10 days of her life".
When they met again, she had asked him to come this time.
"I am going to Bangalore for my job training." she suddenly dropped this bomb, without looking at him. This was  hard for her. By this time she felt strongly about him, and they couldn't keep this thing going when there was no declaration done as yet.
"I don't believe in long distance relationship thing " he said softly to her.
"Neither do I" she replied as coolly as she could. This was true but left her empty and devastated at the same time.
There wasn't much to say after this so they parted with cold and formal goodbyes.
