Chapter 66: chapter 66

She looked in the other direction where I pointed and at once, I planted a kiss on her cheek! She was shocked! She said, “What have you done?”I said in a very innocent voice, “Oh! I am so sorry. I got out of control!”Hemlatta - You kissed me! And you kissed me without my permission! You promised me!Aman - I don’t think I promised you. I guess I said that I would try my level best. I am sorry. But please don’t worry. Nothing has happened!Hemlatta - But how can you do that to me? Aman - I am really sorry. Irritated, she walked back to the ground. I thought for a while, “Is she going to lodge a complaint against me? I wish she is not going to the principal's office! Is she going to call her relatives to the college? Oh gosh! If she calls her parents to the college, then my reputation will be spoiled forever! I will not be able to even show my face to the teachers! I will be finished! Now, what should I do? Oh no! I can’t do anything. Now, everything is in her hands!”The bell rang. All teachers were back in the class. She didn’t send me any message on my whats app number for about thirty minutes and then suddenly my mobile buzzed. I looked at my mobile screen. It was a message from her. I clicked on the message. It read, “I don’t know why but I liked whatever happened between us.” Out of nowhere, a song popped up within my mind and started reverberating “Yahan dil waalon ki basti hai, yahan par masti hi masti hai (Here is the town of people with hearts and it is full of enjoyment!)” I started tapping my right foot to the tune of music that was being played by my mind! My mobile buzzed. I thought for a second that it was going to be another message from Hemlatta but I was wrong! It was a whats app message from an unknown number. I clicked on the message. It read, “Hi Aman, how are you? My name is Manroop kaur and I am from Haryana. I liked your profile, that's why I sent you this message so that we may talk further.”I thought for a moment, “Who could she be? I mean from where has she got my number? Nowadays, I am not using the shadikamaal app. Oh! I must have sent her a message days ago and she must have seen my message recently. All users of shadikamaal app are not daily active like me. Hehe.”I replied to her, “Okay, we will talk in the evening. Now, I am busy.”I thought, “Everything is going perfect with Hemlatta. But who knows if her parents will agree for marriage or not. What if they don't agree because they are Hindu and I am a sikh. I will get stuck again. I don’t want to take any chance. I should have another girl in hand too. If she doesn't agree then I will be having another girl to marry. And who knows if Hemlatta is just having time pass with me? Nowadays, rarely are the girls who are serious. And who knows if she refuses to marry me later on? Yes, it’s the best decision that I should always keep an option in my hand.”Till college was over, I and Hemlatta chatted with each other. But my eyes were stuck on the upcoming evening since I wanted to talk to Manroop Kaur as soon as possible as Hemlatta was already in my hand but she was not.In the evening at about 6 p.m.I texted Manroop Kaur, “I am free now. I can talk. Are you free?”Her reply came instantly, “I am also free.”Aman - Can I call? Manroop - Yeah sure. I called her and she picked up my call. She said, “Hello.”Aman - Hi, how are you Manroop?Manroop - I am good. How about you? Aman - I am also good. Her voice was not shrill as normally girls have. Her voice was a bit heavy as her throat was a bit bad or as if she was a bit fat girl. Hehe. Manroop - I liked the way you have written in your profile that there is no caste bar, no religion bar, no dowry. Very interesting. Aman - Thanks a lot for your compliment. Manroop - So what do you do? I know what you do but I just want a confirmation that whatever you wrote in your profile is correct. Aman - Whatever I have written in my profile is absolutely correct. If you have read my profile properly then you know all about my basics accurately. Everything is very accurate there. Manroop - Oh, interesting. Hehe! (Giggled). You know what, once I read a profile, there one boy wrote “I am the only son of my parents.” But when I asked how many brothers and sisters are you? He said, “I have four sisters and no brother!” Haha! Then how come he is the only son of his parents. He has four sisters! His family is big! How stupid is he! Haha!Aman - Haha! Very funny! But from one angle he is also right. He said he was the only son of his parents. Technically, he is right! Only son means a son of parents. Haha!Manroop - Haha! Wow! You have a great presence of mind!Aman - Thanks again for your compliment. Manroop - So tell me more about yourself that is not written in the profile? Aman - Nothing special. I have a normal job, a normal house and a normal life. That’s all. But one thing is very special in my life. Manroop - What? Aman - My life is very peaceful. Manroop - Oh, that’s nice. I smiled but said nothing. Manroop - So what do you do for your extra income?Aman - You mean? Manroop - I mean are you teaching tuition or do anything extra? Aman - No, I don’t do anything extra. For me, my salary is enough. I want to what I like in the evening. I can’t push myself even in the evening for money.  (It will be so nice of you, if you leave at least a single word comment 🌺❇️🌹🌺❇️)
