The Day The State Split Asunder - 28

A woman who walks straight into a man's life, upon whose arrival the never-ending time blissfully showers the torrents of happiness which beholds the immense power to raise the unique and rarest flowers of desire, transforming dreary deserts of desolation to a paradise of exotic blooms, inspiring a man to rise and face the world fearlessly; this is the power and magic of love. 

    In this world where everything seems uncertain, only one thing was definite: The feeling of love, which is beyond words, beyond time, and beyond theories. At one point in the journey of our life, we come across a person without whom our existence seems meaningless. Karthik is fortunate to have a friend like Adarsh who is ready to put his life at stake for him, and now, his focus is all about winning Sanjana's heart.

Karthik had fallen head over heels for Sanjana. When she smiled, she looked more bright and ravishing than a fully bloomed rose. To him, Sanjana was a perfect woman. Not only did she possess perfect curvy looks to die for, she also had equally sharp brains which made her an instant hit wherever she went.

Many times he got worried about how his parents would react if they came to know that an Andhra boy like him has fallen in love with a Telangana girl. Deep inside, he was confident that he would be able to convince his parents and most probably they wouldn't be an obstacle for the marriage, but Sanjana should accept him first. 

Beginning a new relationship is one of the most difficult tasks especially when there is a lot of indifference and the matters become much more complicated if it was begun on a lie. The same is the case with Karthik. Sanjana had stolen his heart before he could do something about it. 

It was Sunday night. Karthik was watching a movie on his laptop. Unexpectedly he received a call from Sanjana and his excitement was again out of bounds.

    'Hey Karthik, how are you?' Sanjana asked.

    'I am fine. It has been a long time. Are there any protests planned ahead?' Karthik asked.

    'Nothing just called you casually like that.'

    'It's good. What are you doing?'

    'Me?' he paused for a second and then said. 'I am reading a book.'

    'Which book?'

    'Which book means?' He immediately typed in 'must-read books' on his laptop and he found one with the name - "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus."

    'Karthik, can you hear me?' she repeated.

    'Ya! Sorry, looks like there's a signal problem. I was reading 'Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus'.'

    'Men are from Mars. Hmm… The title looks fascinating. How is the content?'

    'Just started reading.'

    'By the way, I actually called you for the book "The Alchemist". If possible, can you get it tomorrow?'

    'I see, so you called me for the book?'

    'Hey not like that. Actually, nowadays I am not getting time to go out to a bookstore.'

    'No worries. I will bring it tomorrow.'

    'Ok then see you tomorrow. Good night!' She disconnected the call.

    This is really amazing. Karthik started jumping on the bed with glee. Though the conversation was not romantic he was happy because at last a first step has been made.
