I think, U think and they think!!! (PART 2)

Dominik was cursing the guy sitting opposite to him, cursing only because he was sure that the guy opposite was teasing or thinking stupid about him, Dominik wanted to tell him, “don’t you dare think like that about me”
That morning Dominik and Shreya reached Spencer Plaza and were going around and after enough window shopping they finally settled down at coffee day, Dominik was as usual busy finding out someone who was more beautiful than Shreya and convincing himself that Shreya was in fact beautiful than her, typical lover J. After enough argument as to which tasted better Cremosa or Mahwah without even knowing how they tasted, finally decided to get the former only because it sounded better. Dominik went to the counter and found himself in a big queue evidently all men as if it was a rule that only men had to pay the bill and carry the load. He didn’t mind much because in front of him was a girl and wished to start of a new conversation and it so happened that she had come with a branded jerk who was busy with his magazine at the desk…. He thought, wish at times he could act like a jerk, but Shreya was sweet enough to be made to work. He then got busy watching people placing funny orders and act as If they drank at coffee day everyday…. Many had come for the first time thinking that Coffee day’s logo “ a lot can happen over coffee “ would work great for them ,many hoping that something good happens and a few hoping that something bad happens so that they can get a new girl.

Shreya on the other hand was going through the menu card planning for her next round, when she felt someone come and sit opposite to her, the moment she raised her head, she turned red like a cup of hot lemon tea, she was about to spill herself over when a girl came from behind that guy, a cute girl in fact, Shreya thought, very odd when a girl praises another girl, but Shreya had to admit it, and thought if Dominik sees her, he would be s awed by her beauty as if she knew perfectly what he thought about all the time.
The guy was none other than Raja, Shreya’s UG mate.

Raja: Hi Shreya, how are you?? Remember me?

Shreya (with a heavy voice): How can I ever forget you? I treated you like my best friend and what did you do to me?? I never expected that from you.

Raja: Shreya, just listen to me for minute. Firstly, this is Shalini, my love and soon to be my life partner.
Shalini gave her a humble smile, but didn’t speak.

Shreya: Ah! So you found another one?? No wonder I thought right about u…….

Raja: Shreya…

Dominik got back just as Raja was about to talk…

Dominik: Heyyyyyyyyyyy dude, how are you???

Raja: Im good man, how are you???

Dominik: Doing great man, all thanks to u J…. So who is this cute lady??? ;-)

Shreya: Grrrrr… some idiot!!!

Raja (Blushing...): yes man… my fiancée in fact; we are getting married next month.

Dominik: Cool congrats man…Hey I owe you a lot dude, had you not given the letter to Shreya on my behalf, it would have ended long back….. Good thing I did not write my name on it!!!

Shreya: What the hell… which letter are you talking about…

Raja (smiling): The letter which stopped you from talking to me for all these years….. The letter you thought I gave to you, was actually given written by Dominik, he was a scary goat those days, I wonder how he got u finally..

Dominik: Don’t start that again man, those days are gone…

Shreya (Staring at Dominik) : Youuuuuuuuuuu…..

And spat a slap landed on his face, Dominik turned red like another cup of hot lemon tea…

Raja: Hey cool down, its old story… so how are things going on??

Shreya was speechless, she was cursing herself for what she did and for what Raja never did… after a nice chat they left and the moment Raja and Shalini left, Shreya started crying, her white face with tears running down her cheek, she was looking like a cold cup of water with water droplets all around the cup..She was still cursing her that she missed such a nice friend only because of her stupidity…
Dominik convinced her a lot and apologized a lot and they started from there at 05.30pm……. they got into an auto and reached Nungambakkam station….
The clock struck 6.15pm and they got into the train and after the train reached Saidapet, they got a place to sit, sitting opposite was a guy smiling at Dominik for all the wrong reasons….. Dominik knew why he was smiling….
The guy sitting opposite, when the train reached Tambaram, got up to get out of the train, Shreya had got down earlier…. After which Dominik had called her and again apologized to her and wished her “HAPPY VALENTINE’s DAY “. The guy told Dominik “Thank you Sir, I was not smiling at you with a wrong reason, I knew what had happened, after all what I think, U think and they think are all same.”

HAPPY VALENTINE’s DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think, U think and they think!!!

The clock struck 6.15 pm; Dominik had just reached the Nungambakkam station and was heading home after the last day of training in the office. It was a short but awfully long day comparing the other weekdays, may be because it was a Friday and He was looking forward to the weekend. He knew how eager He was to spend another weekend with his love. Her name was Shreya, in her early 20’s she was the most beautiful girl He had ever seen, hmmm He knew He was sounding like a typical lover, but then , she in fact was the most beautiful girl by many standards. She was doing her final year MBA in Loyala college…His full name is Dominik Aryan and he was working as a business consultant with a multinational company. He joined this product based company recently after a sobbing exit from his old company which was like his second home. He had met Shreya at a UK education convention with big hopes of doing his PG overseas and dropped that idea and started working just to support her makeup kit J, actually to make sure that he stays with her.
He got into the train and managed to suck himself inside the jam packed train, after the train stopped at Saidapet station, a third of the train compartment became empty, as if they were giving free mobile phones to everyone there. He made himself comfortable and saw a young couple sitting opposite to him, hand in hand. The girl was exceptionally beautiful, for a moment his mind slipped off track and doubted if this girl was more beautiful than Shreya, he took another look at the girl and noticed something odd. Tears rolling down her cheek, bringing along with them a hint of powder and cream, they didn’t make much difference because she was still looking beautiful. Thoughts flashed across his mind, a million questions went as to why she was crying, what could have gone wrong, why wasn’t the guy trying to convince her. He was thinking silly about the guy as to his inability to convince her. The train reached Chromepet and the guy whispered something into her ears and she got up to go. She started weeping even more as if that was going to be their last meeting, as if God had sent her a message that they will not meet after that day. After the girl got down, the guy took his mobile and called a number, Dominik was pretty sure that he was talking to that girl and He was in fact correct, He heard the girl crying over the phone. The chat continued for a few minutes and they guy hung up the phone. The train reached Tambaram and the train was empty in a few minutes. The guy was the last to leave and they went in the opposite directions, as he was heading towards the sorrow field and Dominik towards the happyville.
Dominik reached home in another 15 minutes, freshened up , ate his dinner and started fighting with his mobile and was busy messaging Shreya. They decided that they will meet tomorrow at 10 am at Madras Christian College. Shreya reached the college before Dominik did and as if a dog smelling a bone from a hundred meters, she smelled him coming and the moment he was near enough to hug, she turned back and gave a tight hug, a feast to the youngsters around, disgust to the elderly lovers. They spent the day doing all possible things to enjoy life to the fullest extent. The day passed very quickly. It was as if God was watching from above, the clock struck 6.15pm and they both were sitting in the train, tears running down Shreya’s cheeks, Dominik was wondering if God had replaced them in place of the couple he had seen yesterday and it was as if everything was becoming clear to him and he got the answers for all the questions which went through his mind yesterday and he realized what could have possibly gone wrong with the couple , also he was cursing the guy sitting opposite for the way he was smiling and knew what he was thinking……..
