Why don't we let Kaveri speak a few words?

That was the time, we were studying our Higher secondary. I had lot of friends in my classroom. In particular, my old schoolmates. I used to spend more time with them and we always had fun.
There was 2 guys sitting at the second bench. Their names are Raju & Sukumar.
I knew that they were having a close eye on me always.
One day, Peter who was studying XII standard came to me; and talked about them. He also warned me to be careful; 'because any one of them might be in love with me'. I never had thought in that way. I got confused; why the hell this fellow is concerned more about this matter & me. Later, I got the answer when he proposed to me! :)
Did Raju/Sukumar also propose me? No, I am not going to tell you further.
I am leading a very happy and peaceful life here. I have got a loving family and my loving kids. So, Good Bye !!

She doesn't want to share anything more with us.
Let us go back to our heroes! Let's see What they are going to do?

iPhone 3G which is sitting in the 'SingTel' network rings loudly. Raju looks at the phone, smiles and answers the call.(Why is he smiling: becoz the phone call is from India) Sukumar is on the other end of the line. Both of them were very happy to talk with each other, after a very long time. They started the conversation which is going to last for an hour. After the formal talking are over, Sukumar asked about Kaveri.
"Do you know, how worse I worried when you were absent to classes on that day? I ran like anything to reach your hostel. I got tensed even more when I couldn't find you in your room.
You Stupid!! You were happily swimming in the river, right? Then also you didn't tell me that what were you talking with her?"
Raju replied: Yes da! After seeing the letter in your packet only, i wanted to tell about the previous day conversations.
Sukumar: Yes, now I can remember. Can you please tell me, what happened on that important moment; I wanted to hear it from your mouth.

Raju: That was a cool evening. She came to visit her friend whose house was there nearby our hostel. I was standing outside the hostel when she returned back to catch the bus.
She looked at me for few micro seconds. I slowly started following her. I got a flash in my mind. I just went ahead and stood before her.
I told her that I need to talk to you for some time. She said 'OK' and signalled with her eyes to proceed. I couldn't see her powerful eyes. I just kept my eyes to see the sky and said three words "I Love You!"
She simply smiled after hearing that. And we started walking towards the bus stop.

Sukumar interrupted; Didn't she reply anything?
Raju continued: No, she did reply. She took some time to open her beautiful mouth.
She started with a clever statement! Look Raju, who am I? I responded; you are my classmate.
She said: Yes. Thatswhat, We are students and we come to school for studying. I don't think that this is the age to fall in love. Let us be can good friends. So, please don't mistake me! Can I get into my bus? And she boarded into the bus and had gone.

Sukumar asked: Were you able to accept the fact that she rejected your proposal?
Raju: Yes! But, it took some time for me.
Sukumar: It means, your brain also justified her thoughts!?
Raju: She was clever enough to handle things at that age. If she had accepted my love at that time; I might not have passed even my +2 examination.
Raju: Yes. It is good that you guys approached the matter with lateral thinking. Let me ask you one question. Whom do you think that the Villain of your love? Either Peter or I?
Raju replied: None of you. Then? It is Kaveri! Yes, she did a Villain role by not accepting my Love proposal! "But the fact is, she is the ever green heroine of my first love."

Raju said Sukumar, now it is my turn. Let me shoot you just one question.
"I can accept the fact that you had never told me about your love. But, why didn't you tell/propose your love to her?"

Sukumar
replied: If I had proposed her, she might have rejected it for sure. I never wanted my love to become an unsuccessful story. Also, I didn't want to make a bad history by proposing to a girl with whom my thickest friend was in love. One more reason behind it was I didn't want to hurt her feelings. I did read her face before coming to you on that day.
In a way, I can feel happy that she never had rejected my love.
Raju agrees to him and nods his head; Yes, if you had told her she might not have accepted it. It is good that at least your first love is neither failed nor succeeded. Your love is deserved to be an Untold love!!!

Anyways we have had great & lovable memories which we can happily talk about! For that, we should feel happy.
With those words, they just said bye to each other and ended the phone call.

Untold Love Story - The Love

First Part
Second Part

May 03 2008 - 09:00 pm local time - Raju's flat - Singapore.

Raju was so excited to hear from his dad that Sukumar had given him a call in the evening.
Also, he felt bad that his father failed to collect Sukumar's contact number.
He started tracing down the contact number by making few ISD calls to his friends.
He was not lucky enough, to get succeeded in those attempts. He was in a kind of emotion which had equal amount of joy and sorrow feelings. In no mood, he had his dinner and went to bed.

When he tried to close his eyes & prepare himself for sleep, his brain started exploring the footprints of Sukumar in his life. Somehow I missed to keep in touch with this guy for a few years. We had completed our engineering graduations in different colleges. After the course completion, We were working in Chennai for a couple of years. Then, I came down here to Singapore. When we were there in Chennai, we used to meet frequently. Sometimes, we talk about those wonderful days of our life.
Yes, we both had great time during our higher secondary school days!
If I start thinking about those days, it will make this night as a sleepless one. I don't want to do that; since I have to go office early in the morning.

He forcefully hibernates his brain and goes for a deep sleep. Let us not disturb him.
Don't worry that this part of the story has come to an end! I will take you back to their XI standard.

That was a fine saturday. No teacher was there to take classes for them. Happily they were making noise. Suddenly Chemistry teacher walked in to the class room to make them quiet.
Since they were not ready to attend classes, teacher asked anyone to sing a song. No one was ready to do that. You know what she did? She was dare enough and started singing on her own voice. :) Pupils started screaming and asked her to stop it.
Suddenly a lovely female voice raised. Who else that could be? Kaveri started singing the song
"Gangai karai thottam, Kannip pengal kootam ... Kannan naduvinilae ,, ohhhhhh, kannan naduvinilae !!" (translation - "Garden in the Ganges river bank, group of young girls, Lord Krishna in the middle!!)

Sukumar felt like, as if he was the subject of the song. He started listening to her and he did not move his eyes from her until she completed the song. The whole classroom applauded for her song.
He got admired by her voice, the song and each & every aspects of the singing style.
Hundreds of butterflies started flying in him. Also, that thing happened to him. Almost he fell in love with her at the first song.!
From the next class onwards he felt something different; the love waves started flowing from him.
He wanted to turn his head and see her(star at her) for a few seconds. He was keep on repeating it for 3 or 4 times an hour.
He just not wanted to disclose that he is deliberately doing it. So, he thought for a while.
Then, he called Raju and asked him to look at her smiling face. She used to laugh once in 10/15 minutes. (She was having a gang of her old schoolmates! They always used to talk about something and laughing)
Sukumar's idea worked out well. It solved his purpose.

Sukumar calls Raju, sometimes Raju calls Sukumar; both of them will have a look at her! It continued like that for many days.

Then, the quarterly examination holidays came. That vacation spanned for more than a week.
Sukumar was not able to lead the normal life without seeing her. His mind got disturbed by her.

After the vacation, he started to get more feel on her. The frequency of turning his head, slowly increased. Within a few weeks, they had become the hot topic of the class (unknowingly).
Sukumar came to know about this when he visited a girl classmate's house on a sunday.
She asked him that whether he/Raju loves Kaveri! He just rep'lied' "No".
She told about the hot gossip of the class! "We are not sure whether Kaveri loves you or Raju? We are very much interested to know that who the lucky person is?"

Sukumar felt a shock from his top to bottom; to hear that statement 'whether Kaveri loves you or Raju?' These words started echoing on his ears.
He was not able to think of it; that Raju loves her? Raju has not spoken a single word to him about this. He wanted to get a hold on this matter.
Finally, he decided to talk to Kaveri about his love.

He went to School early in the morning with a letter in his right hand. That letter simply contained a sweet statement! "Smile! The second best thing, that can do with your lips."
And was waiting for Raju to come.
Raju didn't come to school till the first period started.
He saw Kaveri who was not in a good mood! Then, he heard from one of his friends that Raju wast talking to Kaveri in the previous evening!

Thats it!!! Sukumar felt something wrong has happened.
He rushed to Raju's hostel immediately, to meet him.
