“Hey, I love you.” I proposed... Of which I was also not aware.
“What??” Payal was surely astonished.
“I know I know… don’t get me wrong. It’s just that, may be …
you know.” I was struggling for words and I think she was wondering. “It’s just
that I’ve started liking you. I was wondering if…”
And then there was a momentous pause and then a whisper “May
I get some time to think before I riposte?”
“Yes you have a minute to think” I was impatient as usual.
“How can I answer in such a short span? At least give me a
day or two.” She was smiling.
“OK you have 24 hours to think. Tomorrow I will again ask at
the same time.” And then I was like Was
it the right time to propose?
“In any case we are friends so If your answer is NO you can
tell me now only. I won’t mind" I
was just afraid telling this stupid line thinking she may refuse my proposal
with the ill-advised answers like I
always saw you as a friend or we should give more time before we get into some
relationship or something bla bla bla… Thankfully that didn't happen.

The D-Day arrived and we as usual started talking
at our scheduled night hours. This time I was not at all interested in bla bla
bla schmooze. But I had decided not to get straight to the point as I did the
previous day.
“Today was too hectic as the campus interviews are going on
and…. You too haven’t answered my yesterday’s question but no problem you have
two… ” I was in flow and then there was a wee murmur.
“May I say a word?” a long pause.
“I do…”
