Kalyan's Redemption

What!! I was Shocked to hear that from sheetal.

"Are u going to USA??" she slowly answered YES.

When will u come back I asked. 3 months tentatively she replied.

Vroom Vroom the noise roared from the video game waiting for somebody to start it. We both were calm; I was slowly thinking and trying to digest the reality.

When were we apart for long time... i guess the last time was when u went to your home for 10 days and that happened a year ago

Sheetal and I were in Close relationship. Our meeting happened dramatically rather cinematically, I was on a trip to Coorg there I saw a girl running after a rabbit. Thinking she might kill it i tried to stop her only to realize that she wants to nurse the wound of rabbit.

I was surprised when i saw her for Second time at my neighbor’s place, they were moving in.We met almost every day as i was trying to help her find a job.

She was packing her bags and i was messing up everything in the name of helping her. I dropped her at the Airport and gave her a box of parathas which i made for her spending almost 2 days to Learn.

What do I do now...and what abt the Weekends? i was damn worried.

On Every week end we use to talk whole day.... she use tell abt the project progress and off course abt USA.

Then one fine day i got a call from a Girl called Geeta! She was sheetal's childhood friend "Hi… Can I talk to sheetal" It was a sweet voice but was wobbling a bit. I told her that sheetal went to USA. "Are u her Brother!!" she asked me.” I am her friend" I replied. I was just wondering how Geeta got my number without knowing that its me then I remembered a year ago sheetal used my mobile as her mobile got Lost.

Geeta looked very depressed as she couldn't talk to Sheetal. "Do u want her US number “I asked. She thanked me saying she can't afford to make an ISD call and she kept the phone.

Next morning a strange Idea flashed in my Mind the coming weekend was a long one as 15th august was on Friday. Why not go and meet Geetha So that I can know a lot about sheetal’s childhood ... I can see the school that she studied and the places she'd been when she was a kid.

The very Idea giggled me up and in the next moment i called geeta and asked whether i can come over there on weekend and spend sometime. She was reluctant but on my extended pleading she accepted. I told her that i want to see the places where sheetal spent her childhood, and i want to know more about sheetal.

I was waiting for the weekend as impatient as cat on hot tin roof.

i booked my ticket to coorg with all my gear ready i boarded the bus.

As the Bus Hit its maximum Speed... i was already on my thoughts Jet which was rocketing into past.

We use to quarrel all the time..

For the 1st player console in the video game… for last noodle string… for more place under the umbrella in rain…

Now without her i don't feel like switching on the Box....

All the noodles are before me... i don't feel like eating...

And i don't use umbrella when it rains ... her thoughts are drenching me...

i didn't realize tears were rolling out on my cheeks till the boy sitting next to me was whispering to her Mom.... "Mummy Uncle is crying"

Sun was setting, till the horizon I can see lush green coffee plantations, fresh coffee smell was rejuvenating me… we entered into Coorg. The road ahead looks like a snake curving away in the forest.

I got down the Bus. Weather wais cloudy and breeze was chilly, with not much difficulty I found Geeta. Lean girl with refreshing smile it seems she recognized me instantly she waved at me.
