Krishna and Keyur

Krishna and Keyur


The pretty petite girl who lived in a world that was her own. She thought she knew it all. Now nineteen, she felt  she was ready to handle love and a relationship. She never wanted to get into one. So a liking for any guy always remained  a  distant  .
Krishna got through a  good Post grad school .
She couldn't have asked for more! As a person ,She was loud, f unloving , she spoke as though she has seen the world but actually was Naive . She had never seen the bad side of life ever.

Krishna and her friends went to visit Pooja's friend in an Engineering college . The bunch decided to have lunch in the hostel canteen. Krishna was chatting and laughing and talking to her friends . The boy who was serving them was rather slow and 'Chotu' was the name he was being called by . Chotu, Chotu, jaldi chapati de do! called out a Sapna . Chotu was trying his best to cater to this bunch of girls amidst all the boys in Mess of the boys hostel! When krishna got impatient she looked out for Chotu and he was not around, she took a  spoonful of the paneer curry( from which the paneer was absconding!) and slowly tasted it. So spicy! Just then a hand stretched out from beside her and picked the jug of water and Krishna promptly said, Chotu! And as she glanced up she saw this Guy ( not chotu) , who by the tone had stopped in his track, apologising and saying ," i only wanted water". Krishna was way too embarrassed at what happened . Something happened. She was quiet for the rest of the meal wondering if that guy was around. She looked around, but she didn't know how he looked. She had looked at him for a second and looked away embarrassed.
On their way out of the hostel, were standing two guys and one guy couldn't keep his eyes off Krishna. It was him!


She thought about him and smiled , shrugged at how silly this whole thing was!days passed and Krishnas life was usual college and home.
One day a friend in college spoke with her and mentioned that a guy named Keyur wanted her number. Pooja said you remember him dont you? Krishna jogged her memory..ummm no! Your darling Chotu! and burst out laughing.
Krishnas heart skipped a  beat and she she said yes of course you can give my number Pooja. No harm in talking. Is there?

So one evening, Krishnas phone rang, and on the other side was a  voice - soft , clear but unsure. Can i ..Can i talk to Krish Krishna Please? Krishna speaking . Who is this? This is Keyur we met in TIE..Krishna now had butterflies in her stomach and she said yes of course i remember...the chat was short and yet long.

In the coming days,Krishna and Keyur spent a lot of time talking to each other. They spoke for hours! and when they were not talking, they were sending messages to one another. It was over three months since they had last met but somehow it didn't matter to Krishna . She was very fond of Keyur she now literally spoke with only him  and he made her smile.

But, was this all that Keyur wanted?
