The Memory Ocean-Chapter Six

CHAPTER SIX
Akshay was thinking that he had got her.Since, he was going to work with her hereafter, he felt a warmth in his heart that almost made his days happy.But, he could not think that he was in love with her or it was just a kind of infatuation.He had to make that sure before he proceeds with her.
He was enjoying his days in his new company.The feel was like still he was into his college.The fellow employees were also of his age, unlike Fashionplus where he had to work with guys who were almost his dad's age.
Sandhya & Akshay became close buddies.But, neither of them had any kind of feelings other than that of friendship between them.But, Akshay felt like heaven jus being with her BEST EVER FRIEND.He had to change his thinkings from "a more than a friend" to "a good friend", becos if he tried to treat her with some other feeling, there was every chance to lose her friendship.Akshay wud never allow that to happen.. No way.
They both used to go together to office & come back mostly together.One day, Sandhya was telling him that she got to go to university to submit her Post Graduation application form.She wanted Akshay to accompany her.Akshay was readily available for Sandhya.So, without hesitation, he started.
While they were seated on the bus ( the same 7F ), she started slowly. "Akshay, Wat do u think about Love" she asked.
Akshay's heart suddenly stopped for a min.Wat was she asking.. he asked his heart again.His heart asked him again like this "hey idiot, she is asking wat do u think about her... err.. about love".
he answered, "well, sandhya. I Hope its a nice feeling.Since, i am yet to love anyone.So, i hope it shud b a nice feel, by the way, wat wud u answer if i ask u the same question?"Atlast Akshay put one across her to answer.
"I know how does it feel." Akshay was watching her every move close enough to get any idea about wat she was going to tell him.
"Do u know Sharath? if u do know him, wat do u think about him"?
Akshay thought, why she was suddenly asking whether he knew sharath and wat that had to do with her asking him about love.
he said, "yeah, i know him.He is one of ur good friends, right? i also hav met him.Nice fellow".
"yes, that nice fellow has already filled himself in wholly in my heart."
Akshay could not believe himself.Now, He could not believe his badluck.What she is telling, he thought.he said, " Wat do u mean by that mean statement?"
" You are naive, Akshay. Arent u? I said i am in love with him"
Akshay thought, yeah i am naive not to hav got any kinda info that u cud love anyone and so Sharath is also not a impossible person to love.He realised all his dreams came to a hurrying & devastating end.His Dreams Shattered.
But he knew, he should not let her know that he was in love.... err... Has he ever thought he loved her?????? It could be a kind of attraction or Infatuation.When he thought that he liked her, he hardly knew her.There was 2 years in between his first introduction and this day.So, he knew there might be hell lot of things happening in 2 years.So, he certainly was a naive not to realise that she had the right to choose any person she wanted to share her life with.Yet he wasnt that naive not to be positive and dont take life as it comes.He would treat her as a Nice Friend hereafter.
He knew he had to stay positive.He also knew that jus because Sandhya could not like her more than a friend, did not mean that was the end of it.That was jus a beginning to stay focussed more on his career and "Sandhya" was jus an episode in his life.He has got lot more to achieve in his life.
He now thought of his mom & brother who were depended on him & his efforts.The very thought about his family made him a rejuvenated man.He knew wat he was going to do now.He jus wanted to carry on with his life ahead.He also was sure that he will get a nice Angel in his life.
===========================================Three years Later,
Akshay was in a hurry to office.It was raining badly.Since it was a Tropical country, the raingod wud pour in rain at any time.It might rain or it might shine anytime.So, he thought he wud better hurry up to his office before it wud rain like hell.
He reached his office & when he opened his inbox.he saw a lot of mails from his friends.
the first one was frm Sandhya,

Hi Akshay,How do u do, friend?We were worried about ur life there when that Tsunami thingy occurred.Only when u sent us a mail stating ur safe,we are relieved and we thank God that Tsunami did not hav any effects in ur place JAKARTA, Indonesia.Hope things wud b fine as ever at ur end.here myself, Sharath & Prerna are fine.I've put Prerna into the play school.She has become naughty.Sharath is busy with his assignments in office.Yet, he never forgets to ask about u.Take care & be happy always.
Cheers,Sandhya


He felt happy about Sandhya's mail. She is/will be one of my best ever friends, he thought.
He checked his other mails......
There was a mail frm Vandhana ...
the subject of the mail read.

Hello Akshay,

Naan enna nenaichenna, marriage ku munnadi namba 2 perum konjam pesinda nanna irukumnu.( Wat i thought was, even before marriage, if we could able to spk & understand ourselves, it wud be nice.).. adhuku Shankar kitta unga mail id ketten.Avar thaan unga id kuduthar.( For that, i asked Shankar about ur mail id and he gave me).

All the best wishes for Akshay and Vandhana's future.
May GOD bless them with all fortune and I wish Akshay get the BEST in his life. May be GOD wanted to show a unlucky Sandhya before showing akshay's real Vandhana. Akshay had successfully crossed all his barriers in life and hereafter he will be the most successful on EARTH.

All the best Akshay!

Senorita!
