Will you be my girlfriend??
#TheWritingProject
“Rahul, you idiot! What is the use of being so handsome when you don’t have a girlfriend? Find a beautiful better half for yourself” said Rahul’s mother, Mrs.Anjali, at the breakfast table.
“Not again mom! I’m leaving for my office” said Rahul, trying to escape the topic.
“Sit down and finish your food” said another strict voice. This was Rahul’s father Vasudev. “Anju has a point, Rahul! How long will you stay single?” said he.
“Oh dad! Please stop supporting her. Parents go against their child's love. Your thoughts are completely out of the box and they drive me crazy” said Rahul who was completely annoyed with this daily soap at the breakfast table.
Rahul’s parents try to explain to him why they want him to marry a girl of his choice but he remains silent and leaves for office after breakfast. “Who said I’m not interested in having a girlfriend or a wife? I’m just 26. They tell me as if I never look at girls. It’s just that I never got connected to anyone. I will definitely find someone someday. They will have to wait” said Rahul to himself while taking his car out of the garage.
As Rahul reached the gate, a security guard saluted him and started wondering. “How come the only heir to the state’s biggest cafe chain uses such a small car for office? No wonder this man is crazy” said the guard to himself.
Mrs.Anjali on the other hand was completely frustrated with Rahul’s behavior. “I’m fed up with him… I will have to do something about this” said Mrs.Anjali to herself.
Later in the afternoon, Mrs.Anjali picked her phone up and downloaded a dating app on it. “I will chat with a few girls on his name. Let me try finding my son’s perfect half” said Mrs.Anjali to herself. She created an account on Rahul’s name and started searching for girls.
On the other hand, Rahul was teased by Priyansh for the discussion that Rahul has everyday with his parents. Priyansh was his best friend from school time and the only person in his office, who is aware of his actual identity. For the rest of his colleagues, Rahul was the son of a normal corporate employee.
After a week, Mrs Anjali visited the temple. She lit a lamp and prayed to the god about her son’s future. She noticed a girl opposite to her, trying to protect the lamp from going off. The lamp is finally adjusted by Mrs. Anjali.
“Thank you my dear. You made my day. I lit the lamp for my son and if it would have got off for any reason, I would have felt very bad. Thank you for everything” said she.
“It’s absolutely fine aunty. You need not thank me” said that girl.
“What is your name dear?” Mrs. Anjali asked.
“I’m Mythili,” replied the girl.
“What do you do?” asked Mrs. Anjali again.
“I’m here to pursue my masters from the central university. My classes will begin next week. I’m currently doing a part time job tutoring school students in my area.” said she.
“What is your native place?” asked Mrs Anjali and their conversation went on.
Mrs.Anjali is completely impressed with Mythili. After completing all the rituals at the temple, Mythili drops her till her car. She left the temple with a hope that Mythili would prove to be a perfect life partner for Rahul. Mrs. Anjali finally leaves the place. While going home, she recalled her experience on the dating app.
Anjali had created an account on the dating app in the name of Rahul. She was trying to find a perfect match for her son. But, she was failing to do so. As she was about to delete her account, she had come across Mythili who had just liked Rahul’s profile.
She didn't have too many details over her profile but had a decent profile picture. Mrs. Anjali liked her profile too and they started chatting with each other. Mythili’s innocence and her sense of humor impress her. She had planned her visit to the temple only after knowing Mythili’s plan to visit the temple. While talking to her at the temple, she had reconfirmed all her details. She was now confident that she wouldn’t regret her decision in the future.
Mrs. Anjali keeps chatting with her that evening. She understands that Mythili had trusted Rahul a lot as she tells him a.k.a Mrs. Anjali about her meeting with a very kind old lady who was very sweet and nice to her.
Days and months pass by and their chat continues. She never told Mythili that Rahul’s is the only heir to the biggest cafe chain of the state. She only tells him that he is a software engineer planning for an MBA. One fine friday, Rahul aka Mrs. Anjali finally asked her if they could meet.
Mythili thought for a while and finally agreed to it as she found Rahul to be a decent guy throughout the chat.
That night, the dinner table at Rahul’s home–
“Rahul, I’ve found a girlfriend for you. You will have to meet her next weekend” said Anjali.
Rahul starts coughing on listening to his mother’s words.
Priyansh, who almost has his everyday dinner at Rahul’s home, gave him water. He said, “Wow, mom! That's great news! Tell me about the girl… I’m excited!!”
Priyansh, who lost his parents at a very young age, began addressing Mr and Mrs Vasudev as his parents. They had nothing to oppose as Priyansh was family to them.
“Tell the guy beside you to get excited, Priyansh,” she said.
“I don’t want to,” replies Rahul rudely.
“You have no option,” said Mrs. Anjali.
“Rahul dear, just go give it a try… Just try speaking to her” said Mr. Vasudev.
“You are telling me as if you have met her before,” said Rahul.
“No, but your mother did and I trust her decision” said Mr. Vasudev, looking into Mrs.Anjali’s eyes and smiled.
“Don’t show me your chemistry and stop romancing in front of your kids” said the extremely irritated Rahul.
“You can continue dad, I’m fine with it” said Priyansh.
“That’s like my son” said Mr. Vasudev.
“I’m leaving…” said Rahul, getting away from the table.
“Mom told you to meet her over the next weekend. Not this!” said Priyansh teasing Rahul.
Rahul hit Priyansh with a cushion and left. When Priyansh tried to hit back, Rahul closed the room door and the cushion hit the door.
Mr&Mrs Vasudev have a hearty laugh. After their dinner, Anjali served food on a plate and took Priyansh and Vasudev along with her to Rahul’s room.
Rahul, whose temper had come down by then,...
