Genre: love, comedy
Episode name: Angel in black
As exams were scheduled our mood and work changed. We had only one thought in our heads except me who also thinks about Varshini. Our group preparation started with mathematics. Rakesh explained integration. As usual after college I called Varshini. I said about exams. Thought she would clear my doubts in organic chemistry in the call. But she invited me to her home! I couldn't believe it! I got a chance to spend time with her apart from the parties.
It was Tuesday. And it is one of the memorable days. It was the first time I visited Varshini's house. Rakesh continued his explanation in college. But the discussion was mostly about me going to Varshini's."Dont get pretty excited. There will be Revanth too" rahul again reminded the negative side which i overlooked in excitement. I couldn't just not show up as I gave the word. "He was pretty drunk that night. I am sure he will not remember your face" george gave some confidence. As the gang was relying on me for organic, I had to go and ofcourse i didn't want to miss the chance. A small butterfly flying freely in class brought a topic of fun facts of insects and it ended up discussing butterfly effect. I always wonder where these small chit chats lead to.They gave their opinions about the theory as if they have few PhDs in physics or may be its my exaggeration. Knowledge in these things which are not useful in any near time is off the charts compared to our current syllabus whose existence is questioned. Rakesh said" its just the direct or indirect impacts of small physical actions." While rahul gave a movie reference to it. "What's your opinion on it vimal?" Vikram asked.
"Well, its true about the impact but I also think the impact is not limited by physical action. Thoughts have impact too. A thought can influence or create a thought in another's mind."
"Telepathy" Rahul murmered
"Love" I corrected him like a gentleman
I thought they wouldn't get it and react in a sarcastic way. The latter happened to be correct but they still believed what i said was telepathy.
So to support themselves Rahul took the topic still far."What colour shirt are you going to wear to Varshini's? He asked.
"Black" i replied.
"Then if you think your feeling on varshini is love.." George started with a terror smile
"Your thought should influence her tought.." vikram continued
"To wear same colour dress.." then Rakesh
"and if she doesn't wear black dress ,either your love isn't true or your opinion is wrong." Rahul ended.
They said as if they prepared their lines already. Their minds work alike and i am the odd one out.
If she doesn't wear black dress of course I cannot accept that my love isn't pure. Hence they booked me to give up on my opinion. As i didn't want to give it up already i had to defend love at the risk of my love. "So ask her in your thoughts." Vikram said.
With all of my heart I asked her to wear black in my mind. I believed it will reach her some how as I think love as a dimension. Dimension which we cannot entirely understand.
"We don't know what she will be wearing. What if he lie to win the arguement?" Rahul said
"Nah. He doesnt know how to lie" he said in few seconds.
This is trust. Which is generally found in families like our gang which makes them to rely on us with belief. On the other hand Rahul is just emphasizing my inability to act smart(lie). What if she wears black? Do i really win the arguement? Nope. They will come up with another interesting thing called coincidence.
It was 5pm. I was infront of her house in my black shirt. Three steps away. Climbing them with lots of love and pinch of fear. Rung the door bell. I expected she would be opening the door in her black dress with awaiting eyes and her gorgeous smile. It turned out to be her brother who opened the door.
"He.. hello..Revanth" i said
"Hey mate. Varshini said you are coming" he greeted casually unlike me and took me to the living room.
"Please be seated and make yourself comfortable" he said when i was sweating out of nervousness.
"Varshini?" I asked about her
" She will be joining you in few minutes" he said.
But it didn't seem like few minutes.
I was holding my hands and putting my thumb on one another.
Gave one or two smiles looking at his face in the middle.
The silence was unbearable.
He didn't start any conversation and i thought it will be disrespectful if the silence was kept unbroken.
I didn't know much about him apart from his graduating college to start a conversation.
"So..how did you get into MIT?" I asked
"Well I was good at academics. And I was favourite student of a professor who said momentum and guidance are requirements for MIT. That professor said he saw momentum in me. And he guided me in." He said with a glare in his eyes. I was sure getting into MIT is the most valuable thing happened so far in his life until few more episodes. Though his answer wasn't much precise and accurate it has something. And i didn't ask further about it as it may irritate him.
Meanwhile varshini came down the stairs. " Hey vimal! " She greeted with awaiting eyes and gorgeous smile and do not forget about the soothing voice.
I stood involuntarily looking the angel in black dress.

Note: Episode 8 will be posted soon..stay tuned as Vimal almost won the arguement or did he?
