|| The Love Knot || Chapter 1: The Flucky Meeting. A Short Story By-@gnibha Maity


Chapter 1
The Flucky Meeting

Sitting on the bean bag he is watching his little nephew Vihaan, who is busy playing with his bike( a toy obviously). He looks super cute everytime he is falling from his bike whenever he is trying to take a sharp turning at the baranda. And every single time he started crying but after few tear drops he gets up to start his journey again.

After completing his BCA Course, Veeraj is now working as a Coordinator Head at a Cable Industry Company. The Company paid him a high amount for his dedication towards the job and the company. In one sentence he is well settled. He is living with his Mother,along with his elder brother, wife and their children in Gujrat. His father settled in London for job and he is living there for about 10 years. He came to India once in a year to meet them.  

Parekh, Veeraj Parekh, a calm, poised and fun loving Gujju(Gujarati) boy. But When he gets angry it is hard to control. Where the boys of his age are busy drinking Beer, Bacardi,there he is busy counting sugar cubes in his Horlicks Cup(Does it seem a little too lenient? Can't do anything.
Believe me not all the leads are rough and tough, there are some lenient ones)

He is not a regular Facebook user. He was an average looking weird guy scrolling the news feed  and suddenly a profile in the friends suggestion section took away all his attention. He opens her profile. After seeing twice her profile picture, was going to open for the third time but suddenly his mother called him and he mistakenly press the add friend button. He didn’t understand what to do now.After a while he took control of himself and reopens the girls profile.
It shows Nandita Banerjee, a B.Tech Engineer from Kolkata.He looks like a little disappointed. But the reason of his smile and the red cheeks is that she is immensely beautiful, perfect bong beauty. He is fascinated by the thickness of those dense eyes.

He didn't know that at one point of time in his life she will become as important as carbon is in the organic chemistry. Days, weeks passed. Girl did not even know that this guy called Veeraj exist.

Veeraj used to stalk her on facebook and secretly witnessed all the changes in her profile. He is the owner of all those ❤ reactions on her 1st year photos and 2nd year and of course 3rd year also, Final year as well.

He knew that the request would never be accepted. But sometimes the incidents turn out in a way that we would never imagine.   One day she accepted his request.

Veeraj is simple. His plan was as simple as he himself was. He only wanted to watch her pictures on facebook. She was beautiful afterall.

One day beyond his expectations something happened which he could only dream of. Veeraj used to message her in every bengali Occasions. Although he does not want to show himself desperate. But that day he sent her a H with double I that is “Hii”. He had a belief  that she will not reply him. But interesting thing here is that he was not the one who was writing their story.

The girl messaged him back( 8 hours later obviously) She replied with triple I, “Hiii”.

Veeraj did not believe on what he just read. He refreshed his Facebook page once again to check whether this actually happened or it was just a dream. Well after analyzing the situation he believed and reopened.

“Hiiii, Nandita, thank you for accepting my request,” he replied. (Damned! What a cheep reply)

“ smiley emojis,”

“You are looking beautiful in your dp,” Disaster was typed again.

“Thank you ,” she replied.

“You are welcome. (Oh God,what I will ask her now? So, how's your life goes on( You are not her teacher, idiot. Cut that shit out. Start with basic ones, you moron) So, how are you doing,” he asked 2 seconds after.

“Fine, u?” 34 minutes later.

( God!!! It hurts i compose almost a half para question for her in just 2 seconds and she can't even  write 5 lines in 34 minutes.)

“I'm fine too,” he replied.

He wanted to say something more not just anything. He wanted this conversation to be continued for some more time. But he had nothing to talk. She was empty too.

Awkward silence

They waited for sometime. Maybe the person on opposite end will send something and the conversation will continue again. Not happened so. They logged out of their facebook accounts.

Veeraj was happy. Reason for his happiness was unknown though. Maybe it was the first chapter of some sweet Love Story. Who knows !!!!
