Chapter 1

A STEP BEHIND YOU

“Aditi Please listen to me. I can’t live without you. Please give me one chance. I know you love me.” I (Kartik) Said. But again I was ignored.

It was the most common dialogue that a lover says after some mistake or breakup. But believe me we were not lovers, no mistakes and no breakup. Both of us are at New York since four years, but no calls, no messages… Nothing…. Ha ha ha… what a destiny… I can still remember that day when I met her.

FLASHBACK

May, 2013:

 “Hey what is room no. of Aditi Pathak?” The most awkward question I ever asked to a girl. “Tum kya karoge jaan kr lol! It’s Girls Hostel Lol… Ha Ha Ha..”. Heard too much comments but not the room no. Finally Bahar aana pada mjhe.

            Suddenly I felt someone behind me. I was afraid of ragging so don’t know why I slapped the guy behind me. I whispered, “Ab To Watt Lag Gayi.” No guy was behind me. I saw and said surprisingly “Oh Noooooo! I slapped a girl. Hey Ram Ji Mujhse Paap Ho gaya. Sorry Sister.”

“What sister?? Sister wister naa hu tumhari. I am Aditi. Bag  Exchange hua h. Jaldi se wapas kro or chalte bano.” She said.

 “Sorry.” I said. I returned her bag.

“Hey listen… I want to say something.” She Said.

I thought, “ Propose kr degi kya mujhko abhi ye….?”. Hey, don’t laugh. Handsome tha mai us waqt. I am still handsome. But she said, “ After my mother, you are first one to slap me. It was so hard.”  Again my same reply, “Sorry Please.” She laughed. I also laughed. She asked my no.

            “I don’t have any phone.” I lied. Actually my mother told me to stay away from girls. So it was the cause of my lie.

            “Oh! Sadd. Ok, no problem.”  She told and went into the hostel room.

What a Funny Meet that was! It was just like she took my sleep, my dreams with her. And Suddenly my phone rang.

            “Hello! Kartik Mishra?” (It was the voice of a girl.)

            “Han Ji, Boliye kya kaam hai??”

            “Liar”, she said.

            “Aditi?” I asked.

            “Yes”, She Said.

            “Oh Noo… Sorry.” I told her about the cause why I lied and she laughed at least for 5 minutes hearing this.

            “Pagal. Don’t say sorry again. We are friends and friendship mei no sorry no thank you.” She Said.

            “Friends? Friendship kab hui?” I asked.

            “ Just few seconds before. Bas flirting  nahi chalegi.” She said.

Bas hona kya tha. Wo kya kehte hai Hindi me? Haa, Mere Man Me Laddoo foot  rahe the. Tab se wo jo jo kehti mai sunta.  Perhaps it was my first step behind her friendship. Ha Ha, I was unware that what was going to happen.  Chapter  1 Continued......
