Will she say yes-2?

Kumar's words January 06, 2023



Samayra? Are you sure there is a friend request with this name? Rahul asked. 

I gave him a look as his expression while asking was more shocking than both of us. Like how on earth it is possible that a girl with such a stylish name send a request to Shivam? 

Aah..I mean of course, there can be this name. After all, Shivam is… is…. is, Go ahead, I added.

Is charming, saying that he ran towards Kishore’s side. 

ID might be fake Kishore? Have you checked it? I asked while stepping towards him.

Yes, I have checked it and it is not fake. She has posted a couple of photos with her family and recent photos with her friends at Victoria memorial, Kishore said checking his profile. 

Is she a Bengali? Rahul asked. 

Not everyone living in Bengal is Bengalis, I answered him and went close to Kishore. 

Has she mentioned her schooling in bio? I asked. 

Nope but there is a picture where she is with her schoolmates…Read the captions or check the location, Rahul came in with another idea. 

No caption, no location and just a smile emoji with a flower, Kishore replied disappointedly. 

Well…it’s common for girls when they don’t have a caption they add this stuff, I replied. 

Can you zoom in on that, I pointed towards the logo on her sweater. 

Ohhoo naughty, Rahul said, tickling me. 

I am not a bloody perv, idiot. Make your eyes wide open and see there is a school badge or logo whatever you say is there. We can understand from that, I corrected the reason for his“ohhoo” reaction. 


That’s very smart of you, he praised later on. 

This is…I know it, I know it. I have seen this somewhere, Scratching my head, I tried to memorize it. 

But words are not clear on it, how can we understand it? Rahul said, taking a gentle look at the logo twice. 

Got it. I am pretty sure it’s “Modern School” in New Delhi, I concluded. 

Let me see some of the comments to lock this answer, Kishore started checking the comments. 

He kept scrolling and stopped at a comment by Tanya Singh. 

“Memories that will never get old.” Check her Id, my instinct says she must have written her school name in bio, Rahul added. 

Looking at each other, we simultaneously clicked.

Her bio was, “Went to Modern School, Barakhamba Road, New Delhi.”

Got it, we cheered together aloud. 


Note: Girls are stalkers but boys are SPY. There is nothing common in it. 


Samayra, a girl from New Delhi. Accept the request, I said with a smile. 

We can talk about this on our way home, otherwise mummy will kill me this time and di (elder sister) is always ready to light the fire. I don’t want to give her any chance, so I asked them to keep moving to our respective home. 


Should we wait for her to start or Shivam should initiate? Rahul asked. 

Nope… I have never texted a girl at first, or maybe texted to one or two, and yes I'm sure there must have been a reason for that otherwise, I would never have made the first move. It’s as simple as that. It's as simple as that. See if he has sent the request it means he has seen something in me that prompts him to talk to me. Now when I accept that, she should be one to text first. I’ll recommend the same. 


I tell you not to listen to him. There is a big difference between you guys. You cannot do what he does. Okay, let me give you an example. In our area, there is no shortage of water and thus, we aren't concerned about it. But if you go to the hot areas like Rajasthan, people are much concerned about the water and thus, they don’t waste it like us. When he ended, I and Kishore were looking at each other confusingly. 


Can you please put some light on this, Sir? Kishore asked. 

Don’t stare at me later. It rains only occasionally on the barren land so when it rains, do not wait for anything and enjoy with all your heart, he ended with a smile at me. 

Things were getting clear now and I wish I could say something to him but he was right somewhere and so smiled back. 

So should I text her first, Kishore? I asked. 

I can’t say anything now. If you want, you can, He replied. 

Okay, we will think about it later. For now, I think I should run as fast as I can, saying that we altogether ran towards home. 


(Entering home) 

Mummy, someone is there. Please come out of your room and welcome him, Di from upstairs called mummy. 

What the hel….why did you call her? I’ll see you. Wait for my turn, I murmured looking at her. 

Who’s there? Mummy came out. 

Ohhh…gentlemen arrived. Give him some water, Mummy greeted me or was that a taunt? 


No, no. I am okay, I replied smilingly. 

Shut up. I am noticing you are coming late regularly. Why don’t you pack your bag and live with them, Mummy shouted. 

I am so sorry. It won’t happen again. Actually, Rahul…mummy won’t hear your any excuses, di came into the conversation. 

Why are you getting into…no fighting? You can’t raise your voice when you are wrong. Now go to your room, Mummy scolded me, favoring her. 


The pot calling the kettle black, she murmured and went off. 

Now may I know why you did that? I asked, going upstairs. 

Nothing much, it’s been so many days mummy hasn’t not been seen scolding someone so I just lit a little fire, she said giggling. 


What? I stared at her. Have you gone…let it be. Women, I turned back to my room murmuring. 

(If you watch Instagram reels, you know what “women” means here.)


Listen di, I looked back at her. 

Wow, where is this melody coming from? She looked downstairs to mock me. Have you heard it, Shivam? She said. 

Hmm, I guess it's me. I just want to know who started the conversation when you guys started? I asked. 

Of course he, she said within a second. Sometimes it amazes me how girls are so confident about it! I mean, the way she said that, it sounded like we boys were made to initiate the conversation.  

Okay but is it compulsory that a boy has to start? I asked confusingly. 

Not compulsory but it’s something that has become a ritual now. It’s been happening over the years so I think boys should start but why are you asking this today? Have you been approached by someone? She asked, staring at me.
No..no…noo, it's not about me. I was just asking generally and by the way why did your tongue stuck on “you” like everyone? You were shocked thinking about how someone approached me but anyway I’d choose to remain silent at the moment because very soon…..let it be. I am going to bed, saying this I turned around with a fake anger on my face and went off in order to avoid her question. 


What after ‘very soon’? Complete that, she shouted from the back. 

I don’t want to talk about that. Good night and take care, saying that I closed my room’s door. 

My eyes are on you now. There is something you are hiding, she said giggling near my door. 

Di, there is nothing like you are brewing in your mind. I said annoyingly. 

We will see it later but in case you want any help, I am there for you, she said smilingly. 

Seriously? I opened the door and asked. 

Yes, but you know everything has its price, she said grinning. 

Have a good sleep and I’ll surely contact you when needed ma’am,  I said and banged the door again. 

Huh.. Good night, she said and went off. 


“Huh.. is a very common word used by girls when they receive denial. They will wiggle their waist, flick their hairs, frown at you and then leave.”


Kishore told me to wait for her message, so I’ll do the same. But it was me who made her wait for many days so I should text her first, right? Wait, what if I am just a random friend suggestion on her Facebook that she sent a request? A couple of questions were striking simultaneously inside me and so I thought to skip this at the moment.

We will figure this out later but what is important to do now is take a sip of water, eat something, work further, and then take a good sleep. In case, if it is written in your destiny, it will give you notification very soon and make you up or will sleep with you like always. 


Buzz…my phone vibrated. 

What? Isn’t it so fast? Is my destiny awakening with me tonight? Perhaps yes, with a smile on my face, I unlocked my phone to check the text. 

Can you guess what it was? Well, if you are aware of my fate, you would have gotten your answer till now. Let me read for those who are still curious. 


“Intezzar hai kisi ka? Aao hum saath baatein kare puri raat. (Waiting for  someone? Come, we will talk the whole night together), message from that BSNL girl. Should I start believing her as my only future I am going to tie knots with?


I kept my phone aside in frustration, opened my laptop, and started doing some of the pending assignments. However, it is an undeniable fact that when you are fucked up from inside, nothing turns into your favour. Every work you do, you will keep thinking about the mess created instead of thinking about the piece of work you are supposed to do. And this is what happened that night. I kept murmuring, why did I yell at di when she got shocked and said “approached you”, I mean she was not wrong. What everyone thinks about me is certainly right, there is no if and but. If they think I am the fucking as…buzz, my phone vibrated again. 


Were they actually right? Why the hell did di get shocked when someone approach me? I am 100% sure, they all are wrong and there is no if and but. I found my thoughts suddenly switched from praising them to offending them and it was just because I got another notification. How bloody optimistic I have become in just a night! The hope which was buried years ago has been uprooted by Kishore. 


Okay, let’s check the notification. I moved my hands slowly towards the phone. Gave my fingerprints and unlocked it. Further, I scrolled down the screen and……….. Closed my eyes and felt the heartbeat. 


I slowly opened my eyes and read the text aloud.


Hii Shivam, It was a message from Samayra that proved everyone wrong and I can say certainly that my destiny is not sleeping tonight. 


My condition was exactly like that of a farmer who never thought that even a drop of rain would ever fall on his barren land but now when it is raining he has tears in his eyes, his heart is happy, but the problem is that he does not know how to respond or what to do next. He forgot what one is supposed to do when things go in your favor because he had long ago given up thinking about the good in his life. 


Should I call Kishore? But what if she goes offline till then? I have to take charge on my own this time. I have to float the boat solely tonight because if I wait, either it will sink or someone else will take the raft. 


Hello, I replied. Just after sending the reply I realized that it would have sounded more attractive if I had taken her name like she did. But it is not just my problem, it happens with 95% of us. We come up with the best reply when the moment passes away.  


Do we know each other? She texted

Really? Am I that popular? Or is it a way to start a conversation? Whatsoever, I should be real and avoid cheesy lines like “yes…I saw you in my dreams yesterday.”  I guess no, I replied. 


I don’t check my request often so it took some days, I texted again. I don’t know why I did that because she didn't even ask for it. 

Okay, it's fine. She replied. 

So you are a writer. I read your stories, poetries, and some quotes. I must say it was beautiful, she texted. 

Yaa, I do. And thank you for the compliment, I replied with a smiling emoji. 


Ohh, is that something that took you to my profile and sent me a request? I asked with some emojis. 

Not specifically. She replied. 

Ho gayi bezati ( Fuck…why the hell I get over falttered when some praise my work) I murmured. 

Actually, I recently created an account on Facebook, so I chose a few profiles to add to my friends list. And I found you interesting, she replied with wink emoji. 


She was the first girl ever who found me interesting. It’s time to celebrate but this time I grabbed my excitement tightly in order to avoid any cringe. 

Same here, I also don’t add everyone randomly. I replied.

But I found so many girls in your friend list and most of them have fake Id, she answered with laugh emojis. 

How can I make you understand that before touching the petal of a rose, your hand sometimes touches the thrones. I murmured while saying this. 


What? She replied 🤭

Ohh shit..shit..shit, I didn’t realize that I texted this to her. Did I sound like a creep? Shit what is she thinking about me? I ruined it. I started cursing myself for what I said. 


You there? My phone beeped. 

Yaa… actually I got a call so couldn’t reply to you. I replied back and just then my eye stopped at the emoji followed by her text. 

Ohh…she is smiling. Got it, I yelled. This again brought a smile to my face. 


Nice, she replied. 

What? I asked.

Your last line, she replied.

I chose nothing to say and so just ‘hehe’ I texted back.

Where are you from? I asked.

Malviya Nagar, Delhi. She said and you? 

Patna, Bihar. I replied. 

Ohh, by the way I have a plan to come there, however, it’s not certain yet. She replied. 

When? I asked.


Next month, she answered. 

Okay…great. Is there any occasion or something? I asked. 

Yaa..My friend’s sister's wedding, She replied. 

Cool, I showed zero excitement in meeting her. Although I wanted to say but ‘control…shivam…control’, it came from within me. 

By the way, I found something very common in all the girls that before talking to someone they stalk the person badly. I added some laughter emoji at the end. 

Ahhm…Nothing to say in my defense. She replied. 

If you don’t mind, can I ask you something? I said. 

Yaa sure, she replied.


Are you in a relationship or ever were in any? Generally asking, I finally asked what I wanted from the very beginning. 

Yaa…she replied. 


Now that’s also something very common in every girl that they will baffle you in their answers. Does this ‘Yaa’ mean she is in a relationship or was she? I was really confused. Seriously, you cannot expect a clear answer from them. 


Ohh..okay but would you mind to clarify it? I mean were you in a relationship or you are in? I asked. 

I was, she replied.

These short messages were somewhere indicating that she didn’t want to talk about that and so I rested my questions. 


You okay, Samayra? I asked.

Yaa..I am fine. And what’s your status? She asked back. 

I am sorry if that reminded you something. I just asked. I sent the message. 

Noo…Noo, it’s completely fine. Don’t think too much, She replied with similes. 

Okay..so now coming to your question. I never had a relationship, in fact, I never talked to a girl this much or should I say, they never talked to me. So, you are the first girl I am talking to. I answered back. 


Hahaha…. Your sense of humour is too good. You must be kidding, right? She replied one after another. 

Of course not, I am serious, I replied. 

Is it? Awww…feel pity for you, She replied. 

But may I know any reason for that? She texted again. 


From my school time, I was very shy and never opened up with anyone more but when I tried to open up, they closed the door. This is it, I replied. 

That’s bad. Okay let the past be so Samayra and Shivam are friends, she sent a waving hand with her text. 

Yaa… I replied with a smile.

Okay, have a good sleep. Good night and take care, she texted.

Okay..good night, I replied back and kept the phone aside. 


Samayra and Shivam are friends. Wow!, I heard a voice from behind. 

Ohh shit…I turned back saying.
