<font size="3" face="Calibri"></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Surprised to hear that, how he was done talking about
everything. How he didn't mention it further……</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">She couldn't even answer anything. It was her who had said
'no' and he let her be…….</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Then why was it bothering her now? She wasn't sure if he was
mad at her…..</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">She didn't even know what he was thinking. She couldn't
tell. </font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">He turned around to leave, but stopped, not by himself, but
by her hand clasping onto his….</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">He halted, he turned back around, he looked at her hand
holding his, then he looked up to see her…….</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">With a questioned look……..</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">She said……</font></font>
<font face="Calibri"><font size="3">Khushi: I know you came to the mehndi for me, because I am
the one who said it's the same thing and
I know it's a big deal for you to attend parties and stuff……….I don't know what
I was thinking when I said all that. I never ever thought that you will
actually take me that seriously. I am very surprised that you actually did
something like that………just so that I will learn to swim………I still don't know
why all this is so important……..but I do know that you did something so drastic
just for me………so in return I don't want to disappoint you……..I…….</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">ASR: I what? He quickly asked with a hope in his voice……</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Khushi: I am still not going to swim but……</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">ASR: But what? His voice was back to being confused…….</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Khushi: But I owe you one for my mistake. </font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">She pulled his hand up now, holding his hand in-between her
two slender hands, looked up to see him and said……</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Khushi: You can ask me to do any one thing, ONE THING, any
time, and I promise I will do that one thing without any question. Other than
swimming of course! I promise.</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">And he felt her hands squeeze his while she confirmed her
promise.</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">He smiled hearing her say that and replied……</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">ASR: It's not that serious, I don't need any such 'promise',
it's all good.</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Khushi: No it's not. It's my fault, I shouldn't have said
that. I owe you one. You will have to accept it.</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">ASR: Gloomy, I am serious, it's not that big of a deal. </font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Khushi: Not for you but for me it is……..</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">ASR: Don't worry about it, it's NOT a big deal.</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Khushi: It is a BIG deal. </font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">ASR: That's one heavy weight promise you are offering, you
know that right?</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Khushi: I know.</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">ASR: What if I misuse it?</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Khushi: I know you won't.</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">ASR: I might!</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Khushi: No, you won't. </font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">ASR: I am seriously telling you, it's quite alright. I don't
need any such promise.</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Khushi: I know you don't need any such promise but I have
to…..</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">ASR: Anything?</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Khushi: Yes, other than swimming.</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">ASR: Other than swimming, anything?</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Khushi: Yes.</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">ASR: Any time?</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Khushi: Yes.</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">ASR: You won't regret it?</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Khushi: No, after all, a promise is a promise!</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">ASR: Are you sure? You might not realize it but it's a big
thing what you are offering me here.</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Khushi: I am sure.</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">ASR: Just because this shirt says Mr. Perfect doesn't mean
that I am actually perfect. I could misuse it.</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">He warned her as clearly as he could…..</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Khushi: It's little too late to worry about that. I have
already promised.</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">She ignored all his warnings……</font></font>
<font size="3" face="Calibri"></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">ASR: Okay! I accept your offer. </font></font>
<font size="3" face="Calibri"></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">It was her who had offered such generous promise, then why
was she more excited than him? </font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">He was the recipient of this wonderful offer but why was he
more worried than her?</font></font>
<font size="3" face="Calibri"></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">They both stood there, by that same pool, where they had
discussed this hot topic of swimming for the first time.</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">It was still the same place where they put an end to this
topic, for good.</font></font>
<font size="3" face="Calibri"></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">She was still holding his hand, concluding her offer.</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">He kept his hand there, accepting that offer.</font></font>
<font size="3" face="Calibri"></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">He cupped her left side of her face, with his available hand
and said….</font></font>
<font size="3" face="Calibri"></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">ASR: I am asking you for the last time. Anything?</font></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Khushi: I am telling you for the last time. Anything.</font></font>
<font size="3" face="Calibri"></font>
<font face="Calibri"><font size="3">Little that they knew that this one offer would affect their
lives in such a way, someday………</font></font>
<font size="3" face="Calibri"></font>
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">To Be Continued…….</font></font>
