Chapter 2 - A call away

Orkut used to be very popular those days. But it was not just for the sake of popularity to me. I met her here. Indeed I met her online here. She was a mutual friend of one of my school friend but i never dared to approach her. The first time i saw her i was mesmerised not by her beauty but by the aura she carried. I sent her a request. However she took a long time in adding me as her friend. However I got added one day and perhaps that day was the happiest day of my life. After almost a lapse of 6 months I got an opportunity to talk to her online. She was hesitant to talk. I created a number of fake stories to make her believe that I know her very well although she may not be aware of that.

I use to talk lot those day. I told her that I saw her once in a marriage party during my school days where she was with a friend named Rati. she asked how you know my name? I replied she called you by that name and I somehow listened. Obviously she didn't believe. I was very impatient and she was aware of that.

We talked and talked and then the first step towards our friendship started.I asked for her number but she denied not once but several times. But there is a popular say when you try harder and harder, fortune had to give favours to you. I had given my number to her and she called me one day. Alas my dumb roommate Srikant picked up the call and when asked where am I. He replied sanchi is in the bathroom. I called her back after a while and I. listened the sweetest voice of my life for the first time and she asked -Do I know you? and I replied-how could you know me? and she hung up the call.
