That cute guy…

Khyaati woke up feeling strange. She was feeling dizzy and nauseated. She had had a late night yesterday with friends. After all it was Navratri and she loved Garba. And this time her parents were also not there to chaperon her!
She had gone to Garba organized at a club with some other colleagues and planned to enjoy thoroughly. After a few rounds Saket offered Khyaati a drink which initially she declined but she saw that she was the only one not drinking and she didn’t want to offend her new colleagues. She took a bottle of beer. She hated the taste and smell of it and couldn’t understand how people tolerated and even enjoyed such a horrible stuff!
But as the night passed and with more rounds of Garba she was offered some more alcohol and she went on obliging her so-called friends. She kind of liked that ‘cute guy’ who had joined them. Exhilarating music, colourful environment, seducing earthy smell and the effect of beer… Khyaati was having the best Navaratri of her life.
That is all she remembered!
She looked around and felt strange. Where was Ketki? With hurting head she got up and went to the living room. She saw the ‘cute guy’ sitting and watching TV. Was she hallucinating? She rubbed her eyes and looked again. He was still there.
“What is he doing here and where was Ketki?” She thought bewilderedly.
She stood there dumb founded and all sorts of thoughts passed through her mind in a fraction of second. Suddenly he turned towards her and gave a smile.
She would have died then and there looking at that handsome face and oh-so-sexy smile!
But suddenly she realized that he was in her house and her room-mate was nowhere in sight.
“What are you doing here? Where is Ketki?” She tried to sound stern.
“Ketki left yesterday with Saket and you were not in a position to come home alone, so I obliged!
Has anybody told you that you look like a princess when you sleep?
And you smell fabulous!” He said with a lopsided smile.
Was he teasing her, making fun of her? She was now really scared. She didn’t remember anything about last night. She was alone the whole night with him and ….
She didn’t want to think more.
She looked at him again. He looked decent. Nothing seemed amiss. She smiled tentatively.
He asked her to freshen up. She obeyed as if she was in a trance.
When she came out of the shower, he was ready with a big mug of coffee for her.
He was so ‘at-home’ as if she was at his place. He chattered non-stop and she instantly felt at ease. She forgot that they were meeting for the first time or she had to leave for the office or anything else existed!
She wished the time would stop here!
This is how a love-at-first-sight feels? She didn’t want to know, at least not now!

now, since this is a story, I can understand the fiction behind it. But do you think this would ever happen as sweet as this in real life ????
Cute-wala dulhaniya le jaayenge!!! 🙂
Sakhi: I do believe that nicer things than this happens in real life but sadly our media has created an enviornment where we see only bad things happening around us!! I am a die hard optimist! 🙂 🙂
And why do you think that this should end in marriage only? See, you are also optimist in real life.. i can bet!! 🙂 Am i wrong?

Nice one sakhi ..
From the first two sentences, I felt that it will be a usual story of girl getting pregnant during Navratri but then I forgot that it is written by you, the genius Sakhi ..
I loved it to the core .. U truly are a pious soul, I must say that ..
Sakhi: Awwww… I am humbled. 🙂 I am sure you are nostalgic about navaratri… Are you gong to go to play garba? Mumbai or Ahmedabad?

“the best Navaratri of her life”? I think not. But that’s just me.
Reminded me of that DDLJ scene.
Why did she have to drink for others? I don’t get people like Khyaati who think they need to drink or smoke to fit in.
Very well written, I must say.
Sakhi: There are very few individuals who can resist the peer pressure! Really!! 🙂
am glad you like the story 🙂

@Sakhi:
Yeah, I go to Garba but I never play it coz I dont know how to do it .. Ha ha ha .. This time I might give garba a miss .. I’m not coming to A’bad this weekend and I dont know whether I will be attending one in Mumbai ..
So what r ur plans for Navratri?? .. All set for rajpath-karnavati-friends garba??
Sakhi: hmmm… If you don’t know, better give it a miss for other people’s toes and heads! 😛 😀
I don’t like to go to clubs.. there’s hardly any place to actually do garba.. its more of flauting dresses and chill out with friends. I prefer sheri garba with orchestra and all. Our colony will be organising garba so will dance to my heart’s content!! 🙂 I simply love garba! 🙂 (typical Gujju, hai na!! )

Hi Sakhi,
A nicely written story. Keeping it open ended and making our brains also to work 🙂 . Anyway great job.
But I couldn’t relate to the story much as I don’t know about Garba and we will not celebrate navatri much.
I also got to know a new set of english words helps in improving my vocabluary. Thanks for that.
I am blogrolling you 🙂
