A Different Love Story- Might be Different

“Hi”, a message popped into Geetha’s messenger. After a long time, karthik deliberately decided that he should spend that whole evening till night chatting with her lovable geethu (that’s how he used to call her from his childhood).

A couple of minutes later, a reply came with an emoticon of angriness “: @” without any words.

Hey geethu, “I am extremely sorry, had loads of work past one week so that I couldn’t even move aside”.

But as he anticipated, again an emoticon popped up “:’-( “, which was a crying symbol.  It was just about one week since they didn’t talk, but ya as like poets describe, it’d look like a year when you miss your loved ones even for a day.

Karthik was moved thinking about her, perplexed about convincing her, thought to enchant his dear to make her day. “Oh! She is so sensitive”, he murmured himself as if he is not. There lies the universal problem, men often express less while they have more inside rather women express whatever they had inside them to their closed ones.

“I know you’d have missed me, but hope you understand I missed you a lot meanwhile”, he tried to take away the track from one way. Guys are always clever.

Now he was promoted to receive a word from smileys , “Oh”.

“ Hw r u. Hw s ur health. Hw things r going?” He questioned.

“Evrythng s F9 here. Hw abt u? Ur France country, colg, course evrythng?” she soon convinced  and replied.

“Wow! Thts geethu. My lil swt lve. I owe u a lot. Lv u.” it’s now karthiks turn to accolade the most forgiving woman in this world. (ya but its universal truth such a pamper is expected often during the conversation between opposite sex. But men are obliged more than women in this respect, lest u should face disaster). But for those who are single, it utters them “Hell with these people”.

“evrythng s f9 here. Exms tests que ans ppts. Omg messed up. Btw enjoying grp studies. Bliss!!!”

English has transfigured into many forms in the times of yesteryears. The most pragmatic and finest form is the message language, wherein merely 10-15 alphabets can still be managed to express your thoughts. Chat is the area where certainly 26 alphabets are undesirable and if you infringe them, then it will be cumbersome to extend the time pass.

Moreover, it not only short circuits’ words but unusual abbreviations splashes them such as lol, rofl, gtg, lmao, omg, wtf, 143, asl, asap, ttyl, h&k, roflmao. And now you feel “Oh my god, OMG”.

Hey Cupid!!! Group studies in the sense? Only Boys or girls too? She asked. An anticipated interrogation for karthik. Ha!!  Ha!!  women are always women!!.

“Ha ha. Mixed up. I’m isolated and still single. But do no when will I mingle“ karthik tried to stir up her temper. Ha !! ha!! now Men are always men.

“Hmm. Dare if you are desperate” she murmured to herself knowing very well kathik is an introvert. But she doesn’t wish to tell that anytime. “hmm. Proceed and succeed. My wishes” she replied.

“Miss you a lot geethu. Ok hw s ur job moving. At least do you come back to home soon nowadays?”

“Ya. Sumtimes. Bt not always. I’m not stretching too much da” she pretended to be good.

“Umpteen times I have told u not to go fr job and be at home. I don wanna send u to job. It’s unnecessary. Iam capable to earn and take care of you” karthik started his usual fight.

“Hey karthik. Chill da. It’s not for money. It gives pleasure and makes me lively and rejuvenated. Umpteenth time I’m telling u this” she replied her usual answer.

“U will never change and listen to my words. Do whatever u wish. But please for my sake don strain too much. I want u to be happy always”.

“ Ok. Next time wen u come for vacation, wht will u get for me?” She changed the topic. Women are wiser in diverting the topics by asking unrelated questions at right times.

“Hey. I have already got a new saree for u. Will try to impress u more with another gift. But thts surprise now”.

“Hmm ok. Not fr gift. I’m awaiting fr ur presence. Miss u a lot. Idiot y did u left me here n went there. Either u come soon or I wanna come there. I can no longer wait for seeing u. wht do u think of urself.

Messages continuously hit karthik not leaving gap for him to reply.

U don care about me. U don realize how much I miss u. I knw its inevitable for u to go. But my big heart s not allowing my small brain to think this. I’m alone at home here. Don’t u knw tht?

After a huge storm, there will be calm. Ya it applies to women too. Tht silence made karthik to suspect she would be crying. It was true. Tears were rolling out from geetha’s eyes.

“Hello madam. My Jhansi Rani.  My angry bird. Drama queen. For ur kind information im coming in a Two weeks’ time. I thot of telling u next week. But u broke up the surprise. Happy ?”

“Hey. Wow.. Hurray!!!. Im in seventh heaven. Love u so much karthik” she replied, giggled to herself and jumped up and down.  

“Thank u da. I Do no why I behave lik a child to u. but ur always my kid even wen u grow old. Expecting for ur arrival. Im excited. Kudos!!!”

“ Hmm Cheers!! Geethu.  Bt don gt excited too much. I wanna say sumthing to u. “

“What ?”

There was no reply.

“Hey karthik. Wht happened da. What u wanna ask?”

“ Tht hw we behave to each other. I guess we both are crazy. If some stranger sees our chat, certainly he/she will assume that we both are lovers or couples” karthik deliberated.

“ Ha ha its funny karthik. Hey u cant define any relation to talk by constraining in a way. It all depends upon people’s perspectives. Leave it. Cool” she replied.

“But, geethu YOU ARE MY  _____?” karthik left the blank unfilled.

“ Hmm. I’m YOUR ?” geetha wanted himself to fill and say.

“But geethu, UR MY MOM. But u never ever behaved like regular moms. U have been so jovial to me as gud as friends. I do no whether I’m gifted to be lik this or Im exceeding the limits between our relationship” karthik stated in bewilderment.

“ Hey karthik. Don be serious on this. My life is full of two persons. You and your father. Wen we lost him, u remained me to be everything. I feel tht im ur friend not as a mother.”

“ Love u Mom. I don have words to say and I really don knw wht to say”

Only thing now I can say is,

“ Love u Geethu. You mean everything to me. I owe u in all respects. I want u always to be happy”

.

“ Bye for nw. I will text u later”, karthik purposely ended the chat, because,

“Now, Tears rolled out from Karthik’s eyes and he couldn’t control to stop that”

Love is not a thing to be read always in a single direction. It exists everywhere.
