cascade of memories

PART 3

With numerous thoughts in my mind i reached home and found Reena along with Aarush sitting there talking animatedly to mom. I jumped in excitement towards her and engulfed her in a hug. we sat there for some time, later she pulled me towards our room (which belongs to me now.) to recollect our good old memories while talking with her i was constantly checking my phone, waiting for any message from him. Reena noticed me and tickled me teasingly

REENA- now, its my turn madam to tease you. you have done this so many times, now finally i got this chance. (saying so she giggled and snatched my phone)

SHEENA- hey!! please give it back to me and what teasing? what chance? what are you talking about?. i don't know.

REENA- oh! so innocent you are. Didn't get it huh.. okay tell me for whom you were waiting?

SHEENA- uff dii!! its nothing like that. so please control your thoughts and i was just waiting for Piyush's call.

REENA (while wiggling her eye-brows)- oh i see so its Piyush. right?

SHEENA (annoyingly)- what? what its Piyush? i was  just waiting because he didn't call up from yesterday night i was waiting, even went to his home today to see if everything is fine with him or not but he was not there also and look its almost evening still there's no sign of him. what is this kind of response?

REENA- fine girl just calm down. well i think you are missing him badly. aren't you?

SHEENA- di please i'm already irritated just don't irritate me more now.

Meanwhile mom called Reena as she has to leave now. We both went down and Reena bid goodbye to all of us. I was about to heed back to my room when mom stopped me for dinner. I stayed there until i finished my food and hurriedly went upstairs in hope of getting at least one message or call from him but much to my dismay there was none. Its enough now i thought to myself and prepared myself to sleep, even i laid down and closed my eyes in hope of getting some sleep but still my mind was't relaxed. I tried, tried my best to comfort myself but failed and suddenly my phone rang. In a hurry, i picked it up and to my surprise it was HIM yes PIYUSH so, finally he called me. WOW!! what a reilief. I don't know why but watching his name flash on my mobile screen my heart skipped a beat, i felt a whole lot of hurricane of emotions within me. Without wasting more time i picked the call.

PIYUSH- hello!

SHEENA- don't you dare hello me? what hello? what is this? where are you? what kind of response is this Piyush? you were  so busy? i was waiting for your call since last night, i even went to your house today, just to hear from you, but Mr. Busy was not there also and now you got time to talk. wow! so generous of you huh.... is everything alright with you?

PIYUSH- woah!!! chill girl chill. just relax okay. how much you talk? so many questions!! relax at least breathe ( and he laughed)

SHEENA(angrily)- you are infuriating me now. i'm serious and you are laughing?

PIYUSH- well okay. i'm also serious now. listen i have to talk to you.

SHEENA- yeah go on my listening.

PIYUSH- no not like this i mean not on phone.

SHEENA- then what?

PIYUSH- i'm here in outside your home, in the garden. can you please come out and meet me now?

SHEENA- what? are you mad? what's this now? firstly, its your fault that you didn't meet me today and now you want me to come down and meet you at this time. no not at all. why should i come when you got no time for me during whole day? i'm  not coming you go we'll meet tomorrow.

PIYUSH- no i won't go until you come down and meet me.

SHEENA-urgh!!!! fine just wait there i'm coming.

I ended the call and jumped out of my bed to go outside. My heartbeat was racing at that time as if i ran in a marathon, i quickly jumped of the stairs. I was dying with curiosity just to know what's he is upto now? why he called me like this? is something urgent? all these questions were running in my mind, mom tried to ask me but i dodged her and went outside in the garden.I looked for him everywhere and finally spotted him standing in a corner. I called out  his name while walking towards him, he turned to face me and soon his face lit-up, which i noticed. I asked him what's the matter? but he gave me no response which increased my anger that is clearly visible now. On guessing my anger he said meekily " did you miss me today?" now my anger knew no bounds and i bursted on him " are you mad? just to ask this you called me here, in such urgency? this is too much now. Before i knock you down just go away." he laughed a little which earned a death glare from me, i stumped my foot in anger and walked away from him. I have walked hardly 2-3 steps when i heard him singing

" DHEERE DHEERE SE MERI ZINDAGI ME AANA, DHEERE DHEERE SE MERE DIL ME SAMANA."

In total shock i turned around. what just happened? did i really heard him singing a song? he came closer to me while humming these lines and then coming close enough to me, he held my left hand in his hand and then again sang-

"TUMSE PYAR HUME HAI KITNA JANE JANA TUMSE MILKAR TUMKO HAI BTANA."

He sat on his knees while i was standing there stunned and shocked, he forwarded a bunch of red roses towards me. Now i got it, it was a silent but clear proposal which left me in a state of awe.
