Well lets unfold another portion of this amazing story by
going back to end of episode 1.
Gautam started having sensations about Sherly, Started
thinking day and night about her, fantasying her beauty, her goodness, her
flair. He was getting restless and wanted to break the shackles of silence.
He started making moves, approaches trying to find reasons
to talk to Sherly, She was smart to untangle
Gautam’s intensions to which she started being more cautious and damn that!!
Because it was making it even more frustrating not getting reaction despite noticeable
actions. This was setting the notion quite clear to show intended suppression
from Sherly. If her ignorance was property of a calculative mind rather
unintended and that was creating shear doubt to Gautam.
Gautam created a scenario with perfect pretext to exchange
their numbers. Communication started at a snail’s pace. Slowly they were
getting comfortable. Gautam tried putting his feelings under covers of ducky
words and presented to Sherly, and She was liking it too, Although few times
she would pretend and cull to not respond, but it does happens with girls.
It was all going
well, but quite sluggish as if walking on a slack rope. The story was limping
as it moved ahead. But Gautam was besotted with Sherly. His head was filled
with thoughts about her cheek by jowl and there was no room to think anything
else. He was having nightmares about the idea of finding his love. He was in
turmoil whether the dreams will prove to be bogy or fact. He had almost gone
Schizophrenic by the time, trying to connect every event, gestures and
reactions by Sherly into meaningful information to prove his hallucination and
on a second moment wander off.
In all of this turbulence, he made up his mind to propose
her and he came up with most vacuous way to do so, on random day without any
romance with infantile card with childish poem,
and bouquet without red rose, that’s what you expect from moronic nerd
like Gautam. The proposal was too puzzled in itself to perceive it for being
love, marriage or friendship proposal, how would a poor Sherly would uncover.
He was trying since morning to meet her in person and
eventually succeed, both were as shy as fawn. Gautam, without a wait handed
over the proposal in her hand and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Later in night on a one side Gautam was playing the waiting
game, but somehow he was so convinced that he has won the battle of love. On
the other side Sherly opened the bag took out the flowers and had twinkle on
his face, smile like Cheshire cat as she opened the envelope with card. She
started reading and smile on her face started altering into worry.
That's when phone rang at Sherly’s Desk, It was “Rohit” on the caller’s name,
Sherly received the call and told “Can I call you latter?” and hang up.
Gautam waited all night long for response for which he
didn’t get any, with growing concern He attempted to ask her very next night.
“How did you find it??” Gautam unsure how to ask pushed a
question.
“What??”, Sherly trying to act ignorant.
“Okay, I am talking about the proposal”, before Gautam could
finish Sherly furiously jumped in to cut off Gautam ”This just isn’t right
Gautam, You hardly know me to do this.”
“I know, may be too early but I am no dodger, I meant what I
say and will stay besides my words till the end”
Gautam’s hand Shivered and beats gone up while typing this,
good thing was Sherly could not see this.
“You don’t know me yet, you have got it all wrong” Shery
said.
“But Why??” seeking the explanation Gautam asked.
“Because I am already in relationship” The last message was
on 11.30 PM which made Gautam Stunned, because this was the worse and the last
thing Gautam could have imagined about Sherly, where She and Rohit had been in
relationship since 4 years.
He had scoffing laugh at himself with loud voice of “HaHa!!”
making fun of his own destiny. The grief of bygone days flashed through his gloomy
eyes, with dispirited feeling he kept looking at his mobile till in morning
without sleeping, scrolling up and down all of her messages trying to find
something which he never knew, or which never existed except his hope!
