As the cupboard creaked I could remember ,how he gave me chocolates every time we fought. I used to take them and forgive him…I turned back and memories flashed back..

I was bored eating chocolates he gave me after our recent fight…There were so many left …
I thought for the millionth time. “Who next?” .As I scrolled down my phone no. list to c whom to call next . In a boring 2nd shift it was obviously expected out of me. I turned around to see empty seats and then realized it was 7 pm already and almost all of them have left. As I called my last friend and got a response “tu theek to hai na?meri kasam?” (r u ok?swear on me) I realized how much I have been dependent on people for my emotional needs.. I have been always a sensitive and emotional person. Not sure of the reason ..may b a bad childhood..all those parental fights..or may b a long distance relationship that had shaken my roots and senses when my x-guy left me …or may be just my present…committed –yet lonely..
The guy in my life presently is nice,quiet,caring..and most importantly very handsome…so handsome that it still gives me butterflies in stomach every time I see him.. still I crave for his attention.
Past 1 year has changed me a lot.Pateince has touched my life or may be I have just grown up, in all aspects infact.Attitude and beauty strikes every1s mind when they see me…… the chirpy ,happening, attractive and sexy “Tina Roy”.
As I sat staring in the computer ‘Tina ,want some coffee ? ‘I turned back to c my TL smiling at me(an invitation). ‘Na.. I just had coffee.. u carry on’I said and turned and could sense disappointment as he saw his latest crush ,crushing his intentions.”Vikram “ how much my eyes searched for him..don’t know why..may b my loneliness or may b his eyes which could tell me he was bowled over my looks…”Tina..how much I need u”every time I came across him, I could read it clearly..
As I started looking out of the glass and stared out into nothing I realized my phone was ringing. ‘ Unknown no. …. Oh God these credit card people they can’t let be in peace even after 7pm.Heights!!
I will give them a nice reply this time. ‘hello, who is it??’ I could hear a familiar voice “Amrita how r u??? “ …Wondering who it was I replied ” Leon??? ” not recognizing my guy’s voice will b d last thing on earth..
Stranger: ’leon ?? who leon??’
(may b I am thinking of him o lot…I thought..it’s not him)
Stranger: ’leon ?? who leon??’
(may b I am thinking of him o lot…I
thought..it’s not him…its some1 else)
Me : Whom r u looking for?
Stranger: Hi I am Shiv… Can I talk
to my friend Amrita?
Me: I guess you have dialed the
wrong no.(about to hang up)…
Stranger : Hearing such a nice voice
I guess the no. is just not wrong.
Me: (surprise and angry)Ohhhhh..
Flirts all over the world..I mean u just hear a girl’s voice and start flirting???
As I expected apologies I realized
how wrong I was…expect the unexpected..
Stranger: has some 1 told u…ur voice
becomes more attractive and sultry when u r rude,I bet u r too beautifull…
Earnestly for a moment I blushed,
but I maintained my hitler kind voice…
Me: Oh! That’s toooooooo much..why
don’t u try writing dialogs , I am sure u will do good.(I was happy criticizing
him. A stupid stranger)
Stranger: u r so perfect with guesses
madam, I am a writer this conversation is just too much to inspire me for my new
story. By the way sultry voice,good guessing shows sharp brains…what else??? god
has created you with perfection..is it???what say “angel”???
(“ANGEL”…Leon calls me that, but
its not him.. its not his voice..though the same charm in it..he continued speaking….)
I bet u have a better name than
this…
Me: yeah.. I do… but u know wat
I havnt seen a flirt like u… sick…(I was almost smiling )
Stranger: please don’t call me a
flirt, Shiv is exclusive, I don’t talk to many..
ME: is it??? So why u bugging me
from past 5 mins??
Stranger: May be I just fell for
your voice…
(his instant reply made me blush
again..why am I doing this..blushing like a school girl…)
Me: so what next ??
Stranger: Name??
Me: What??
Stranger :Can I know ur name??
ME: ‘Tina Roy’
Stranger: Sexy name..
ME: WOOOOOOOOO…….Don’t u think dat
