Hmm....
Funny, that a years over and yet no one really knows the story of our relationship. Guess we have ourselves to blame cause publicity is one thing me and Megz cant handle!. But still I shall go ahead and tell you this story (at the risk of my girlfriend dumping me for infringement of relationship copyright) because i guess you guys have earned a right to know..... so here goes :)
btw , pardon the little details like time and all that ....i'm growing old and so is my memory!
30th March 2009 , Monday...
....... Guess that's where the story started, at least for me. My birthday! I remember it for so many reasons... Some moments priceless , others insignificant... but i remember nonetheless. From the chocolate cake with messed up frosting and annoying candles to the innumerable helpings of lasagne that I had and million packets of ketchup that Dikko gobbled, and who can forget that "horror" movie we watched... Oh and I totally forgot the Karting where I rocked the show :)
But there were two things that remind me about the day the most.
The fact that it actually happened , that my friends actually did something like that! (for which i can never thank them enough) and because it happened to be the day that probably started off something between me and megz.
And then the holidays came , and what seemed to be filled with boredom and anxiety about board exams for everyone , seemed to pass rather quickly for me. It was probably because I was sending upto 250-300 messages everyday from 6 in the morning to late at night till 12 or even 1 sometimes. Or if i wasn't doing that I'd be chatting on facebook or having some stupid argument over the phone. Strangely all this seemed to revolve around one person. Accidental perhaps?
And then May came and went with the hustle and bustle of "OMFG! our board marks are here" and the uncertainty whether our friends would be in the same school or colleges. But my everyday routine continued. The same person , the same routine...... and i liked it! :)
But everything changed once college started. It was just me and Megz in Christ. Out of 2600 people , we knew only each other relatively well. Guess we were lucky that we ended up in the same college and the same class (even on the same bench :P ) , which drew a certain amount of attention to us and since we were pretty close , it was hardly surprising that people started teasing us :D.
Lol,
And Divya Joseph , cornering me and making swear that I'd ask Meghana out by the end of the year sort of sums up what people thought about us.
But this was in July.....
For when August came , it was different again. We treated each other differently. Mushy messages to wake us up and mushy messages to put us to sleep with occasional "friendly" i love you's , it was almost like the relationship was dying to begin and it did.....
August 17th 2009 , Monday.....
"Good Morning" seemed so plain that morning... We shared our mushiness again and then we mutually seemed to agree that we couldn't be "just good friends" anymore.... and that was when the concept of "us" started :)
And I know you ll be wondering on who popped the question , well the answer was there wasn't much of a question really... it was an understanding that we had developed a few days back but it only became "official" on that day when Megz asked if we could be just friends anymore...
Sure there are a lot of untold stories in between but that remains with us ... its top secret :)
Somehow I haven't been able to show my gratitude to her (which means how much i love her) in one year but hey , there's still a lifetime to go and there are still lots of stories to be told :)
