2 PM (on phone) :-
Me : Hey, hi....
Her : Haaaaii....
Me : Kya kar rahi hai tu...
Her : Nothing as such....you tell...
Me : I am just thinking about something to tell you....
Her : Arre, you don't need to think before telling me something...
Me : I LOVE YOU...
Her : WHAT.....????
Me : You only told me not to think before telling you something..
Her : Jasmeet...?? You are joking right...??
Me : No Preet.....I love you..
Her : Okay...
Me : Okay...
Silence remains for at least 2 minutes....since someone had to break it, it was her who took the initiative...
Her : Aur bta....
Me : WHAT....????
Me : I just told you that I love you and you are saying "Aur bta"....
Her : Then what else should I say....
Me : Preeeeeet.......I just proposed to you....
Her : I know that Jasmeet, even I am thinking about it....
Me : So, what have you thought of it till now...??
Her : I need time to think Jasmeet...??
Me : Okay, fine with me....should I call you after a half an hour...??
Her : Yeah...
Me : Okay...bye...
Her : Bye.
Then with my mind all into what my mom would have prepared in lunch, I went downstairs.....I was, to be very honest, not worried about what will preet say to proposal....deep inside I knew that she would say YES....after having lunch I came back upstairs and called preet after an exact half an hour....
2.45 (on phone) :-
Me : Hey, hi...

Me : What happened preet...??
Her : Nothing...
Me : Did you think about it...?
Her : Yeah, I did...
Me : So is it a YES ( :) ) or a No ( :( ) (although I knew the answer but one has to confirm)
Her : Its a No Jasmeet....
Me : You are joking na preet...
Her : No Jasmeet, I am not at all joking...
Me : But what's the problem...??
Her : You are going Jasmeet....??
Me : Where am I going...??
Her : To dehradun, where else....??
Me : So....?? People go and still remain together, this is not fair yaar...
Her : I don't know Jasmeet.....it will be very difficult for us....
Me : U think there is a chance for us to be together....??
Her : Tabhie toh abhi tak iss baare mein tere se baat kar rahi hun....
Me : So is it a YES....??
Her : Haan, it is a YES...
Me : So, even you love me...??

Her : Chal fir, abhi I gotta go and have lunch....u also go and have it...
Me : I already had it....
Her : Bye then...
Me : I love you, okay...
Her : Hmmmm.....bye...
Me : Bye...
This happened on 11 July, 2008 and the date went into the most important dates of my life (even though while writing this post I had to ask her what was "THE DATE" preet)....
Date - 26 July
Location - Barista, CP (New Delhi)
Occasion - Our first date
I reached earlier and was in the outfit which was told to me (formals)....at first she was not able to make out where she was supposed to go...after a very long struggle I made her come to the barista, around which I was waiting...
In between 100's of other people I saw her coming towards me....I was able to recognise her because of her walk....
She was wearing a light blue color top and a denim jeans and I just kept on looking at her till she wasnt standing besides me...
It was wierd at first because she was the same girl whom I never liked in my 13 years of school life but as soon as we were out of GHPS I was in love with the same girl....
Her : You are so good, you are wearing formals....
Me : Thank you...
There were both of us sitting in Barista......she was the one most of the times who was speaking.....actually during that first 5-6 months of our relationship she was the one in command of things but then things started shifting towards me....at first the one thing at which she was good was BAESTI......itni baesti krti thi meri ki kya bataun kitni baesti krti thi meri....
But slowly and slowly it all came to an end and we were only in love.....
Now, coming back to the date....to be very honest it was not one of the best dates.....she was the only one speaking, laughing, making faces and I was doing nothing except for placing the order to the waiter at the coffee shop....but I didn't care much at that time because I was only looking at her doing all those things....IT WAS AWESOME....
Date - 29 July, 2010
Location - Noida, Rajouri Garden
Occasion - Meeting for the last time before she comes to Delhi again
Things had changed a lot from the above date to this date....we had fought a lot of times, metro reached noida and because of this we could go and meet each other anywhere except CP etc. etc....
She came to Noida and we went to see a movie and after that we had lunch and then we went to Rajori to meet her college senior....we bought a couple of clothes at some stupid Rajori mall and when we were standing together thinking that she is going back to Manipal in a day and this is the last time we were meeting before she comes back to Delhi (atleast after 6 months) I said something to her which even I am proud of....
Me : You know what Preet....
Her : What...???
Me : I might joke about everythng in my life but I am very serious about you....
Her : I know Jasmeet...
One thing that I dont understand about women is that how do they know everthing as soon as we say it to them....
After some silence I again said something which I was so sure she didnt know about....
Me : The day I will be heartbroken would be the day you would have let me down and that let down could be in any sense....
Her : I know Jasmeet....
Me : U even knew this...
Her : Yeah...
Me : Ohhh C'mon.....u didnt even had an idea what I just said....
Her : I know Jasmeet, I know everythng you say to me Jassi....
After this conversation we were again talking like no one is going anywhere and after a half an hour came the time when I was standing in front of the metro station at Rajori and she was sitting in a rickshaw and we could only see each other from some distance.....she went and I was still standing there waiting for her to be out of my vision....tears rolled onto my cheeks and I boarded the metro towards Noida.....
I have no idea how to end this post but I have to end it so I am ending it here only....
