Finding Her....Last Love 2

In My Heart

Yash

That one single outing with Reshu had left me all charged up. I felt as if walking on clouds. I came back after seeing her off to airport and found my parents waiting for me with the biggest grin on their faces. ''Yash , come sit with us'' I did , I know they want a details on my date with Reshu. I just shook my head; ''So how was it, give us all the details'' Mom chirped enthusiastically

''Mom!!! Please you can't be serious'' I was little embarrassed . ''Why? What's wrong in sharing with us. We have been friends to you all your life. So what's deal sharing with us'' The retired Judge suddenly appeared more like a lawyer giving arguments in favour of his over enthusiastic wife. ''Not you dad.'' There faces fell, I know it's their drama. But I can't see them this way, 6 years they have patiently waited for me to smile more and come back home. ''Ok, we roamed, watched movie had dinner ,chatted that's it'' . ''No kiss!! '' that was my dad. I blinked and shook my head lowering my eyes.

Pin drop silence, dad slapped his head and Mom shrugged her arm in my direction intending that I was useless. ''You didn't even Kiss her, let alone proposing her?'' Mom questioned me with an accusing expression. Seriously, who is younger here? I feel like 1940 soul born to over advanced couple

''Mom I want to take this slow, I don't want to screw it like last ones''. I replied trying to sound little mature. Mom rolled her eyes at my response. ''6 years! How much more slower you want to go Yash'' I opened my mouth to reply but then decided against it, turning to dad I gestured for little help, but he refused blankly. ''Yash are you serious about this one'' I heard a doubt in Mom's voice

''More than anything Mom. But I met her after 6 yrs, there is so much to talk, know and discuss. I want to know her thoughts about life. Mom, Reshu is the one I want to spend my life with and I am planning to visit her in Goa for few days '' Mom clapped; ''Why few days? Go for a month and come back with a good news. Anyways you are working from here, you can work from there too. '' Turning to the door towards the interiors my mom spoke; ''Pravesh bhai, bring the cake. My son made a mili-meter of progress.'' Pravesh kaka suddenly emerged from nowhere, I guess he had been standing near the door , waiting for Mom's command. Later in the evening we celebrated my mili meter progress with amazing banana cake that Pravesh Bhai made. By the time I retired for night, I had all the information required to woo a girl. Courtesy my parents, I just kept nodding not wanting to interfere and hear another long list of dos and don'ts about having happy steady relationship.

It was my time to work, switching on my laptop , I waited for my mails to sync. My phone pinged with a message; 'you didn't even take my number Yash, here it is save it well I took yours from Shikha . By the way, I am home and looking forward to your visit' . Now I am smiling ear to ear, she is expecting me . My mood reflected in my work, after finishing a part of it, I walked out into the balcony . The night was quite and so were the surroundings. I soaked the silence in, it echoed our moments a day before. Her threat, anger smile and that unexpected hug all came back in flashes, making my smile go wider. ''I was expecting you'' My eyes snapped in the direction of voice, why can't she just leave me alone. Frowning I turned my eyes away; ''Yash I know you still have a soft corner for me'' Namrata's voice had a kind of surety in it

''You should go back to your husband and for the record, I am committed to someone better than you'' She just spoiled my little moment before walking in I warned; ''and about having feelings for you, stop living in the bubble and come back to reality'' I stormed in without waiting for her to say another word. My disgust for Namrata grew by leaps and bounds, first I thought she made a mistake being young and fell for the attention she received , but now I feel it's a habit for her. She wants all she can grab. But not me, just not me. Leaning on the headrest I tried calming down when my cell pinged again; 'what's up Yash !!!' So even Reshu can't sleep
