Mind Magnet –Episode 3 – Unknown truth

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!
