Madhu shook diya out of her reverie and asked her what was wrong.
diya : i,err. i was just dumped!
madhu: what? F**** that Ba***** A******. why?
diya: i guess we know why. but break up for that? i dont believe it.
madhu: well what did he say?
diya: (still shocked.) that he has another girl waiting for him
madhu: oh babe. come lets go for a walk on the beach.
date: may 2008
place : bessie beach.
madhu looks on as diya stands motionless and void of emotions as the waves happily dance around her leg. diya keeps staring into the distant vast ocean as the sky and the sea merged into one horizon engulfing the orange sun amidst the beautiful range of a spectrum of colors. diya's hair beautifully framed her face as it leapt to the tune of the wind. with a blank look, diya inched forward. she kept walking into the water her eyes only on the long distant line where the ocean and the sky met. madhu cried out to her to stop, but diya kept walking inside, the water level steadily rising upwards.
date: september 2008
place : microsoft
diya was a bundle of emotions as she left home to one of the worlds leading software companies joining its wagon of talents. she soon fit in and kept herself very busy. she started meeting new people,befriended people easily and was having a good time in terms of her personal and professional life. diya missed everyone back home and longed to go back to chennai for the weekend. diya was the centre of energy in her team and she was also a high acheiver. her team leads were very happy with her performance as they knew she had it in her to go to great heights.
diya was homesick and took the train to chennai and thats when she got the call. the one call she hoped would never come - but the one call that refused to fade from her life.
date: may 2008
place : bessie beach.
the water swarmed upto diya's hips. diya stood still. madhu's heart was in her mouth. once she saw that diya had stopped walking any further, she heaved a sigh of relief. she came upto diya and yelled
madhu: moron! what on earth were you thinking?
diya: (looking blank) - thought i was gonna drown?
madhu: well n---yeah. you gave me the fright of my life.
diya: (wry smile.) for arvind? (sighs) give me sometime alone. ill be right back.
madhu : are you sure you are not going any further?
diya: (just stares at the sky)
madhu: okay, one step further and ill kill you myself. (walks away)
diya looked at the fading sun, silently allowing itself to be enveloped by the clouds. the bright array of colors slowing turning gray. the waves forcing themselves on her with revenge. diya swayed with the waves. like the sun, her life had lost it's shine too. her heart sunk and was enveloped by grief. life turned from technicolor to monochrome. diya looked up the sky to see nothing but black and she felt her life had now become a black hole. a vaccum. she lay contemplating about so many things in life. she looked up again as the breeze tenderly stroked her face and the moon lit up her eyes. her lips trembled and she closed her eyes, pushing out the tears that were filling her eyes out. diya cried. cried for what seemed to be an eternity.
for seemed like an lifetime diya cried her heart out. she didnt have any more tears. any more grief. any more worries. she felt numb. plain numb. she didnt know what she was even feeling. everything seemed blank and she could not comprehend anything. madhu had walked up behind her and stood quietly letting her cry. she quietly placed an arm on diya's shoulder. diya bawled as she turned around and hugged madhu. the two friends stood there,silence talking perfectly between each other strong as a pillar for the both of them. the sun went down and diya looked up the sky to see the stars sparking like diamonds. she knew what she had to do.
place : cafe coffee day
diya was putting on a bold face and tried to appear normal and happy. but madhu easily looked behind all of that.she knew diya was still holding on to a few things arvind had presented her with. madhu wanted a change of atmosphere for diya and took her out to coffee day for some girl bonding time. inspite of whatever diya went through, she always felt better when she spoke to madhu and family members. diya was laughing for something madhu said when madhu gagged on her espresso. diya turned out to see what she was staring at.
it was arvind with his new arm candy - a hot, scantily clad high maintenance chick.
date : december 2008
diya was in the train, happy that she was meeting everybody after months, on her way to chennai. her phone rang disturbing her happy thoughts. it was an unfamiliar number but a very familiar voice. the voice that always melted her, that always gave her goosebumps, that had crooned it's love a lot of times. it was SIDHARTH.
sid: diya?
diya: yes sid. what do you want?
sid: some time to boast
diya: huh?
sid: you broke up with arvind right?
diya: bye (cuts the call)
diya was disturbed.
place : cafe coffee day
diya turned herface back to her sizzling brownie with ice cream. madhu looked on worried.
babe do you want to leave? are you okay?
diya smiled softly. i have not done anything wrong to run away. only people who make mistakes walk around as if they own the place and pathetic souls that have not done anything hide usually. no madhu! am not going anywhere . am fine
arvind notices diya and madhu. a sly smile crosses his face. he chooses the seat next to them and makes his girl sit next to diya just to try to bug her. he crassly starts talking about how beautiful she is in comparison with 'others' and how 'open' she was. the poor soul blushed and diya couldnt help laughing at that hot nitwit. arvind feigned a surprise as he noticed madhu wnatedly later and started talking. he turned to look at diya.
arvind: hey! what a surprise. how are you? hows your guy?my oh my! you look decent now compared to earlier.
diya: am good! (refusing to lower her eyes stared right back at him till he lowers his eyes)
arvind: you know what diya? i suddenly remembered something
diya: oh yeah
arvind: (trying to provocate her) the reason i dumped you.
diya: eyes him without hesitation. whats that arvind?
arvind: i never loved you. i was just acting babe. (starts laughing as if someone had uttered a big joke) i was trying to get lucky but you were so closed.
diya: smiles sweetly and arvind. you know what arvind. i suddenly remembered something.
arvind: (with a lot of curiosity) whats that?
diya: gets up and goes near arvind. stands close to him that arvind smells her perfume. smiles sweetly at his eye-candy and bends down closer to his ears.
there's something i need to tell you
arvind: (all eager) yeah?
diya slaps him hard right in the middle of the coffee shop. everybody turns around to look while arvind sits there dumb stuck. diya takes out every single gift that arvind gave her and throws them all on his face.
the one thing i remembered to tell you baby is just this - you are an Ass****. showing him the finger diya walks out smiling with madhu, with a wild glint in her eyes.

love story part 9
at this juncture, diya might sound bitchy. especially to the guys. how can she move on? without remorse? but hey practically speaking, all of us do not have the same ' moving on' speed, nor do we all go through the same situations in and after the relationship for us to judge.
but well sid and diya broke up in 2005 and it was late in 2007 that diya opened up to arvind. but all was certainly not well. she was treading very carefully, for she kept seeing a lot of warning signs.
diya is not the kind of person who would want to hurt someone by being in a relation with them yet keep thinking of someone else. so she decided there is not going to be any more sidharth's episode.
but she was not prepared for the series of shockers to come from arvind.
at first it seemed pretty normal that whenever she was around,arvind always seemed to be broke. but then came back to having a lot of money when she was not there. she didnt want it to spoil the relationship. she let it go. his phone like was always busy, and he was always surrounded by girls. diya was shocked to see her acting like sidharth - being possessive. she wondered if it was because of her past relationship failure. she decided to shake it off and focus on good things.
campus placements commenced. arvind didnt want diya to go to the USA for her masters as he would anyway be in India.Arvind said he wanted to work very seriously on the relationship. Diya bought that and attended her placements where microsoft was happy to take her in.
a happy diya was coming out when she got a call from ajay - arvinds best friend. he wanted to warn her.
ajay: diya, ive been with arvy since school and i am also in a relationship with someone else. so i do know what it is to be in one.
diya: ajay? what are you talking about
ajay: trust me when i say this. arvind is not serious about you.
diya was perplexed. why did ajay have to behave this way? he confided with vedanth - her good friend from school. vedanth seconded ajay.
diya couldnt sleep. what was wrong with arvind? nobody was telling her exactly.
the final shocker came very soon.diya's birthday in 2008
diya was bombarded with phone calls. even sidharth had called to wish her.she thanked him and cut the call. the one call she was expecting never came. she was disappointed but rationalised and went to sleep. arvind turned up at diya's place, took her out for a surprise. diya was happy.
arvind took her to his house to introduce her to his parents. she checked the way she looked in his rear view mirror and was asking so many questions. arvind had a smile but never replied.
date: may 2008
arvind's house
come in diya. diya entered an empty small but beautiful house.she was surprised. you said we are going to meet your parents. and she turned around.
arvind was closing the door, looking at her.
arvind: it was just to get you here.
diya: why would you lie for that? its not like we never meet alone.
arvind: (suddenly serious) (eyes burn with passion) : diya.. kisses her forehead
diya: arvind you still have not wished me.
arvind: am about to give you the biggest gift ever.
comes close to diya and holds her tight. removes his shirt.
diya is irritated and shocked.
arvind.whats happening.
arvind pulled out a pack of condoms from his pant pocket. and comes closer to diya.
*slap*
arvind: what the hell was that?
diya just opens the door and walking away.
she couldnt stop trembling on her way back home by auto. she called up madhu to talk about it.
madhu and diya met somewhere in 2007 through a common friend and found out that they had a lot of similarities. and over a period of time became so close to each that there was nothing they could not talk about. they were more like soul sisters. madhu was a couple of years younger to diya but still shared the same wavelength and attitude.
madhu : are you serious?
diya : you ve asked me that 10 times madhu .
(place : madhu's house)
the phone rings and arvind calls.
diya: arvind? am sorry i shouldnt have slapped. but that was too strong an action from your side and you scared me.
arvind: no diya.hear me out.
diya: yeah
arvind: this is where we part! i have another girl waiting for me
diya: huh?
hello?
hello?
(the line went blank)
madhu was looking at diya's face as it went blank with shock!

love story part 8
date : 11 oct 2010
madhu and diya take a walk in the park where diya is unusually quiet. madhu felt diya was wasting time thinking about sidharth. to her, sidharth didnt deserve diya. her best friend.
date : december 2006
aravind rajagopal - onion as he was fondly called, was a sportsman by profession and a spoilsport by nature. boyishly handsome that led to him being extremely 'lucky' with women.being used to getting what he wanted his attitude bordered on arrogance and a few close friends of him would even go to the extent of calling him by all unceremoniously bad words as possible. more of a happy go lucky living in the moment kind of a person, his idea of a relationship was just the fun element. and this is where he met diya. vedanth was diya's classmate in school and now arvind's collegemate. arvind got to know diya through vedanth and started talking to her.
diya - she was not like the other girls he knew. she was smart, confident and more importantly - never took any bullshit. all the hype and outwardly shows that he put up to impress her went in vain. he was irritated.whats the matter with this girl? girl thinks too much of herself that she doesnt like me? but he also started liking her despite his annoyance. he tried befriending her. and was surprised to discover that behind her calm exterior was a tom boy with an amazing sense of humour. he started falling for her. for her mysterious charm, for her amazing smile, for
everything about her.he wanted to propose and called her up.thats when she dropped the bombshell. it was a crying diya who picked up. perplexed, arvind enquired about what was troubling her and thats when she told about sidharth.arvind was crushed that this girl had someone in mind, but he wouldnt relent. he proposed. diya declined. but he kept going at it. but he also made sure he helped diya heal her heart first. it took a very long time for diya to be back to normal and once she was normal - she was even more of a delight to be with. arvind proposed again.
diya had started feeling comfortable with arvind.after all he had also had a broken relationship and he was able to relate to her better. he was a stark contrast to sidharth. he was funny,made her laugh a lot, took things easy,and more importantly always made her feel better and trusted her. she felt nice when he was around.but once bitten twice shy.she was not ready for a relationship.she felt she didnt have it in her to love someone.all that she wanted was a friend. but arvind kept trying to convince her.the vasishts were happy to see their daughter back to normal again.
date: 2007
diya laughed, till her stomach hurt.literal rolling on the floor laughing. arvind was eyeing her happily as she laughed for something they were talking about.
arvind: diya?
diya: (still laughing) yeah?
arvind: love you.
diya: (sobers up) arvind...let's..
arvind: sshhhh...let me finish. ive been in love with you for long.and i will wait. but you need to understand that the past is over.its done.we all have to move on.and i want my life to be with you. i was paid for my match and with that savings i got this gift for you. i will be waiting for your answer. i am truly madly deeply in love with you. think and tell me.
saying so arvind leaves diya and walks away.
diya did think. she was scared of relationships. sidharth had left a scar. but arvind was everything she longed for in a relationship with sidharth. she found herself wishing sidharth was arvind.diya knew arvind was right in asking her to move on. but she was not sure if she wanted to move on with arvind.and then it happened.
diya's phone number was obtained by some 'wrong-number' guys who started speaking crap knowing it was a girl. she was shocked as it was the first time she encountered this. it was arvind who sensed something was wrong and even called that guy back,threatened and put an end to the issue. he gave her a hug and asked her, are you ok? just let it go and kissed her forehead. just be a little careful with people to whom you give your phone numbers to.
diya:but arvind i never gave my number to....
arvind:shhhh.. i trust you.
diya pondered about the episode all night. only one sentence kept echoing. i trust you. the one thing she didnt get from sidharth. she wanted to give him a chance. but this time she didnt want to take a chance. she took a very long time, spoke about it to her friends, wrote the pros and cons and atlast decided to give him a chance...
she said a goodbye to sidharth krishnan as she accpeted arvind finally.

sidharth speaks
well hey guys am sure you would have been convinced am some psych by now - the way i run after diya only to spoil the relation. but its only one side of the story. thanks sow for letting me talk.
i was born and brought up in delhi and it was classical music that brought me to chennai.it was 2002 thats when i saw her. i've never been a big believer of love-esp love at first sight. but guys - its only when something happens to us, do we accept a lot of things.i was crazy about her, but i didnt have an access to this goddess. so i blogged my love and spread the word hoping against hope she calls me up. it took 2 years of plain torture waiting for a reply and madam replies.man! that one moment - it was ecstatic. she was the one person to whom acting idiotic seemed better than acting intelligent.she liked me for just what i am - any guys dream. when she told me she was falling for me - i swear that moment was more intoxicating than weed or alcohol. i was a brat - and instead of medicine, i had settled for bio technology. and once she came into my life - she made it proper. she never bossed around, was never unnatural or egoistic and i couldnt love her more. i could not see life without her. anywhere in the future. after all its us guys who love more right?
we both had just completed college first year and parents finding out about it was a little difficult in terms of maturity for us to handle. i agree my father over-reacted.over-reactions have always been a part of my family. blame it on my genes. he fought with her poor parents who had no clue.and then on top of it, went and visited her grand mom and slyly checked out the family details. and he comes and tells me the family seems nice. diya seems to be a nice girl. i was elated for my father was giving me the green signal. i now knew there was no stopping our marriage. but things backfired at her house. they absolutely didnt like whatever my over-enthusiastic father did. nor did they like me. diya was horrified, that my dad checked about her from my cousin and her friends. (remember my cousin is diya's college senior?).
i dont blame her. she s a princess and a person of gold. nobody has secretly checked out if she was a good girl. she felt hurt and irritated with the way it was done. so when their family was scoring good points, my family was scoring bad points.
the other pit fall was me being possessive. but come on guys - am not richard gere. infact am still surprised that this girl fell for me in the first place. i am just an ordinary looking over-weight fella. i was only protecting my baby from other guys (better looking). not that i dont trust diya - i dont trust the other guys. after all we brothers know what the rest are upto right? :P
i drink - but tell me which girl likes it. esp kalyani brand - awesome man! i lied that i dont drink. already the situation was bad. and diya found out about this. she couldnt believe i lied.this angel of mine never lied to me for anything. i knew i hurt her. i knew i couldnt take it back.
the situation was worrying me. diya was increasingly unhappy and i didnt know what to do. my helplessness turned into possessiveness to hold onto her tight, but the tighter i held on - the farer diya was getting away. i knew i was suffocating her - but i didnt know how i could repair the situation. if only men were as articulate as women. i dont think asking my friends to spy was wrong.after all only flirts go to her college.and their only job is to hit on MY girl. how do i protect my love.
diya shouted at me telling - sid! am mature enough to handle flirts. i love you! dont for a moment think ill stray. i only want your trust.and not this macho attitude. this only implies a lack of trust.
i couldnt answer - neither could i stop when she brought thunder.
she told me she wanted to part ways. gave me a lot of reasons. but i couldnt rationalise with her,how could i? i couldnt even comprehend what she spoke to me only she said lets part. my heart broke is an understatement. thats the only time i cried. cried that my baby had gone. life turned to black and white from technicolor. and i hated my father!
i took to booze and fag. i even tried the idea of weeds and one-night stands. i know i tried to blame it on diya. but i could not. she was MY diya. My angel. she always will be so. i tried contacting her every year on her birthday. she always loved me enough to talk to me, but would not get back to me.
who knew life would come a full circle and me and diya would again come together?
i was born and brought up in delhi and it was classical music that brought me to chennai.it was 2002 thats when i saw her. i've never been a big believer of love-esp love at first sight. but guys - its only when something happens to us, do we accept a lot of things.i was crazy about her, but i didnt have an access to this goddess. so i blogged my love and spread the word hoping against hope she calls me up. it took 2 years of plain torture waiting for a reply and madam replies.man! that one moment - it was ecstatic. she was the one person to whom acting idiotic seemed better than acting intelligent.she liked me for just what i am - any guys dream. when she told me she was falling for me - i swear that moment was more intoxicating than weed or alcohol. i was a brat - and instead of medicine, i had settled for bio technology. and once she came into my life - she made it proper. she never bossed around, was never unnatural or egoistic and i couldnt love her more. i could not see life without her. anywhere in the future. after all its us guys who love more right?

diya shouted at me telling - sid! am mature enough to handle flirts. i love you! dont for a moment think ill stray. i only want your trust.and not this macho attitude. this only implies a lack of trust.
i couldnt answer - neither could i stop when she brought thunder.
she told me she wanted to part ways. gave me a lot of reasons. but i couldnt rationalise with her,how could i? i couldnt even comprehend what she spoke to me only she said lets part. my heart broke is an understatement. thats the only time i cried. cried that my baby had gone. life turned to black and white from technicolor. and i hated my father!
i took to booze and fag. i even tried the idea of weeds and one-night stands. i know i tried to blame it on diya. but i could not. she was MY diya. My angel. she always will be so. i tried contacting her every year on her birthday. she always loved me enough to talk to me, but would not get back to me.
who knew life would come a full circle and me and diya would again come together?
diya speaks
hey all, first my profound thanks for reading my story. sowmya's left the job of talking about me to me. well where do i start? maybe she doesnt realise how difficult it it a job?
let me start about what the story is all about. love!!! how magical a feeling that is.captivating and soul warming. where does life exist without love? i found my first love too. in my parents. i would call being blessed an understatement to get them. and my sister. we may not be without fights but to me its one picture perfect family.i am pampered- yes- but am not irresponsible. i have seen my parents earn so much and then call it bad luck, lost it all for quite sometime. that made me tougher as a person. made me learn harsh realities of life and more importantly, made me love my parents more for all their sacrifices to ensure we had a royal life.whatever i did i knew i owed it to them. people think i have had it easy for me in life, but they fail to look at my efforts behind it. inspite of being popular, i still longed for someone to understand the person that i was. thats when he came into my life. tough times seemed easier, lonely path was suddenly welcoming.probably the only person who knows me as well as my parents.i was sure my parents would love him too, just like i did. but who would have guessed all that which happened. How could i insult my parents when they were already going through a lot in life.how could i leave someone who s given their everything to make me for what i am?how could i even compare? but i couldnt let go of sidharth too.i was sure things would settle down. but what really happened once we got settled down in the relationship? possessiveness and doubts and anger and unthoughtful words! for someone who was not shouted at by even her own parents, it was new and shocking. but still since when had love cared. i took it all in hopes that he would understand.
on one side i was not even able to recognise sidharth anymore. is it the guy i really loved? and on the other, i got to know more about the sacrifices my parents made. and their life journey.
two selfless people asking their daughter for just one thing - and one thing only.
how could i refuse? how could i see sidharth anymore?
the waves kept gnawing the sand, pushing my feet inside. i turned around to look at the vast ocean and i knew deep in my heart, without an ounce of doubt - that i couldnt be happy when my parents were not happy. that i wouldnt be happy with sidharth if he keeps doubting me.
i knew i had to walk away.....

love story - part 7
not much is known about diya though she is the protagonist.she was fun loving, bold, practical,committed and very importantly simple and honest. her folks also had a simple mind and there was no dearth of love in her house.so trust naturally came to her. physical appearance was not on her check list and she didnt have any qualms about falling in love with sidharth.
sidharth -- how the name haunted her.
sid: happy bday diya.
diya: sid. dont call me. i told you am seeing someone else.
sid: i know. i hacked your ID and confirmed it. else i wouldnt have let you go. would have fought.
diya: you did what? are you crazy....
date: december 2007
arvind: diya, i want you to meet my friends..guys this is my girl - diya. aint she the most prettiest thing?
diya - stop it arvind. hi guys....
date : november 2006
diya: (cries) sid, i want a break.
sid: okay, lets talk about the fight later
diya: no sid! a break from US.
sid: whaaat? are you nuts?
diya: no sid. i cant take it anymore. your doubts, your dad's progressions, your spies and your hacking. its driving me nuts and i cant be with someone who doesnt trust me.
sid: ok
diya: okay??thats all. fine .bye
arvind - the second guy to win over diya. got to know her as his classmates bestfriend.and started off as friends. he started falling for her,until she opened out about sidharth. he was by her side as she dealt with her broken heart before even opening out about his love. a sportsperson, tall,fair with a boyish charm and outgoing. it seemed to him they were a good match.
diya was having a nice time with her new friend. their wavelengths matched and they were even completing each others sentence. she was trying to put aside her broken heart and move on. little did she know the disaster that was waiting to happen.
sid meanwhile completely broke down, and took to drinking,smoking,weed and girls. blaming it on diya he went through a phase of these before deciding to concentrate on his studies.
when arvind proposed, diya was hesitant.but after a long time, she accepted. but nothing was like what she had with sidharth. the one name that refuses to go away from her heart.
feb 2008
diya: hello?
sid: diya? its me.
diya's heart did a few somersaults. sid????
sid: how are you? long time huh? i heard you broke up with arvind!
diya: sid! lets not talk about anything personal.
sid: well, got placed?
diya: microsoft.
sid: oh same old IT company. i started my own company and sold it later for an awe-fucking some price, you should try booze. f*** its awesome.
diya: sid! since when did you start swearing. and whats with drinking?
................
diya - the one girl that lit up his life. how was she now? did she still think of him? sid couldnt sleep.
sidharth krishnan - is it the guy i loved? what has happened to him? who is this arrogant person?
diya couldnt sleep either.
she was mulling over arvind and sid as sleep overtook her with her 20 hour days at microsoft.

love story - part 6
date: august - 2006
diya was playing with her dog dushew when the bell rang. she ran to open the door and it was sid!
diyas mom came out with her to see the person.
sid: hello aunty, am diyas classmate vinay. came for some materials.
diyas mom: pls come in. diya why are looking like this? call him in and give him something to drink.
diya: (in whispers) : are you nuts?
sid: about you
diya: ha ha!!! very funny. now you are going to get us both killed.
diya and sid were later laughing about the episode over phone.
sid: next time you are coming to delhi. am done with chennai.
diya: (overwhelmed by sids efforts) - you remember you asked me something?
sid: huh?
diya: want a serious answer?
sid: baby,,,
diya: hushhh! i love you sidharth krishnan. and yes ill marry you with all my heart.
days rolled into months. sid grew over protective and that started causing friction. he started using her mail ID to talk to her friends, pretending to be her, started spying in college, and insisted she talk only to him all the time. diya was finding the spying part uncomfortable and she took it as lack of trust. the two got into numerous fights and somehow, it seemed long since either of them even told the other their love.
happening: Mr.krishnan scares diya.
Mr.krishnan with his affection for his son, was disturbed all through the episode. he knew his son was mature enough not to take a relationship for a joke. he now was curious about diya. he slowly started his own investigation again ( thinks he's one james bond:P). he went through the call records once again and ka-ching - he hit gold. he found out diya's grandmoms phone number. he called her up, introduced himself and started building up a rapport. he flew all the way from delhi to meet grand mom. granny called up diyas parents and said about the incident. diya had a terrible time at home for having continued the relation and for lying. she totally lost her parents trust. she felt angered by the entire episode. she called up sid to confront him only to find sid nonchalant about the entire episode.
time : a very bad time in 2007
it was becoming increasingly difficult to handle sid. he was becoming obsessed and controlling. once a friend of diya's had called her "sweetheart". this friend coincidentally turned out to be a guy. all hell broke loose. sid fought with diya for a month doubting her of two timing. diya had heard enough.
she didnt have the heart to let go of sid. how could she? it might have been love at a young age. but it was love never the less and first love at that. her parents still refused to trust her till she cut out sid. on one sid was this sid she felt she didnt know anymore and on the other her angry parents.
she had to choose. she had to!!!

love story - part 5
date: 2005 , some month
it didnt take long for Mr.vasisht and Mr. krishnan to notice the sudden hike in the phone bills. nor did it take time for Mrs. Rishitha Vasisht and Mrs. Kalpana krishnan to notice that their children were smiling to themselves, talking in hushed voices an were getting missed calls that turned out to be calls only when they attended. Vasisht's dismissed it as a normal teengager sign while Krishnan's took it seriously and started their investigations.
date: april 11.2005
sid: hullo?
diya: dumbass. sleeping? happy happy bday baby :) wanted to wish you first.
sid: just a wish? no gifts?
diya: given it through a friend of mine. you ll get it in your college.
sid: best gift's you. ill compromise for a smaller gift. kiss please?
diya: well tried mister! sleep tight. ill see you in train when i am going back to chennai.miss you :)
sid: am waiting for the journey too. but you know why :P
diya: get lost you bum. bye for now
diya had a blast in banglore and was waiting to board the train to meet sid there.she was getting increasingly frustrated as there was no sign of him. the train started with the helpless diya hoping for him to get on the train. sid never turned up. diya reached home to a cold welcome from her parents. somehow she knew - they knew.
date: same time - sid's place.
Krishnan: sid, who s diya?
sid: dad she s just a friend.
krishnan: i know all about it. and i certainly dont approve. we dont even know anything about her family. you are not going anywhere.
sid: dad, i like her.
krishnan: i've heard enough. either you forget her or ill cut college.
place: diya's place
rishitha: diya who's sid?
diya: huh? mom!!
rishitha: i know all about it. have i ever been a parent/ ive always been a friend. since when did you start lying?
diya: mom, dad! am sorry. i was ....
rishitha: stop this diya. sid's father called us and spoke bad about you and our family.
vasisht: we are decent people and we dont want you involved with him anymore.
the phones were locked, sid's cell phone privileges cut, internet cut. the two were so far away from each other. the only communication was sid's cousin lathika, a college senior of diya.
diya went to her grand mothers house and called up sid pretending to be his college mate. they lov birds still managed to find ways to keep in touch. still not out of shock, diya cried to sid over the phone. this incident still strengthened their relationship as they vowed to always be with each other
date: june 2010
diya: do you realise that i cant even stand the thought of you?
sid: and i can stand?
diya: #$# off sid
sid: #@$# off too
date: july 2006.
the second shocker in the relationship came in the form of suspiscions. sid started getting possessive. his friends in diya's college were appointed as spies to watch her every move and report. and when diya spoke to someone she immediately had to answer a volley of questions. diya took it all with a smile for she knew sid was acting crazy as it was a long distance relationship.
the duo decided to meet.
date : august, 2006
venue: parthasarathy temple, chennai
sid and diya had no problems coming to a temple as it was one place not associated with love. sid was already waiting for her.wearing a jean and a white t-shirt, nervous but trying to act all macho.
his eyes were scanning for diya and a smile broke on his face when he saw her walking towards him. dressed in a blue salwar-kameez, short wet hair, small bindhi, make-up free naturally pink face, smiling at him,bangles jingling as she waved a hi and a wonderful smell as she came close to him. he was mesmerised and so was she.
it took them a minute to even come out of the reverie and talk.
the conversation was just plain old sweet nothings.
date: april 2010.
diya: it was your dad who spoilt the relationship.
sid: dont give excuses.
diya: its not an excuse.
sid: you are just scared to get back to me. bye
date: parthasarathy temple in august 2006
they walked back home, side by side, dragging the steps to reach home late. diya quietly held his hand. sid blushed yet was proud that his girl did that.silence spoke more than words there. sid and diya --- they were perfectly content in their small world.
who would know it would crash very soon?

love story - part 4
date : september - 2004
diya nearly fell out of her chair with happiness when she saw the mail.she had developed this annoying habit of checking her mails every 10 minutes to see if she had gotten a mail from sid. she was on the verge of giving up hopes when she got the most expected mail ever. his reason for a late reply - holiday in the bahamas. and thus started a volley of mails between sid and diya. they slowly started off mailing each other every 2 days. it reduced to everyday and 1000s of mails in one single day.
sid : can i have your phone number?
diya: what if i dont give you? :P
sid : ill get it anyway. :)
diya couldnt stop falling for sid. but wait - there was only one problem. diya had never seen sid, though he had seen her.poor sid never had the chance to talk to her as she was always surrounded by over-enthusiastic teen guys her age! (diya was a lil popular you see and she also had a pathetic observation skill)
days rolled into weeks and weeks rolled into months and they had spoken nineteen to the dozen about everything. sid was still madly in love with diya. diya felt she knew sid for ages!such was the understanding they shared. the chemistry. diya confided in her friend-swapna, before she told sid.
she mailed up sid. "sid! i think am falling for you". thats when the two began their journey as a couple. sid immediately rushed to the nearby phone booth and called up diya.
sid: you sure?
diya: yeah.
sid: will you tell me those three magical words?
diya: (blushes) you know it, dont you?
sid: please???
diya: I LOVE YOU. now you tell me
sid: me? errrmmm.. i dont have the guts babe.
diya: what? you ass! you have the guts to blog in public but not tell me i love you over the phone?
sid: ok ok chill my baby. i love you............................
telephone calls never stopped at the vasisht's and krishnan's house after that for a long time.
date: august 2010
the ringing phone woke diya up. it was sid.
sid: have you decided?
diya: need time.
sid: #$#%$%!%#%^#%$#$%
diya: will you stop hurting me? #$#@%% i HATE you.
(cuts the call and ignores his further calls)
diya kept pondering about how her sid could even talk and think so low about her. the same lips that said i love you once, now talks cheap about her. the same eyes that melted when it saw her, now wreaths sarcasm. the same heart that once beat for her, now despises her. the same guy who hugged her saying she was the best, not boasts about HIS success and her failure.it killed diya to even think of sid. tired, she dragged herself to college where she was pursuing masters in the USA.
date: january 2004
sid: i need to see you diya.
diya: me too. very badly. how about you coming to chennai for the holidays. ill go to bombay for my holidays. ill come back soon and we can meet.
sid: which train are you coming by?
diya: why?
sid: evil grin - i have a better plan. am going to come by that train too. ill get to meet you on the train. it will anyway take 1-2 days for it to reach chennai right?
diya: (feigning ignorance) -yeahhhh...so?
sid: you do realise it's gonna be just us?
diya: ahaan. so? :P
sid: ur gonna be kissed madamoiselle.
diya: (blushes) so are you kind sir!
sid: can i hug?
diya: u dont ask that mister! a GUY does, doesnt ask.
sid: yeah? you know what other things a guy would love to do? :P
diya: oh you are soooo dead loverboy! :)
date: september 2010
sid: i miss you diya (kisses on the phone)
diya: mmm i see
sid: diya? (kisses)
diya: (ignores the kiss)yes sid?
sid: come back to me baby
diya: sid.... (cries on the phone)
sid: yes love? ( breaks up)
diya : i gtg (hangs up)

days rolled into weeks and weeks rolled into months and they had spoken nineteen to the dozen about everything. sid was still madly in love with diya. diya felt she knew sid for ages!such was the understanding they shared. the chemistry. diya confided in her friend-swapna, before she told sid.
she mailed up sid. "sid! i think am falling for you". thats when the two began their journey as a couple. sid immediately rushed to the nearby phone booth and called up diya.
sid: you sure?
diya: yeah.
sid: will you tell me those three magical words?
diya: (blushes) you know it, dont you?
sid: please???
diya: I LOVE YOU. now you tell me
sid: me? errrmmm.. i dont have the guts babe.
diya: what? you ass! you have the guts to blog in public but not tell me i love you over the phone?
sid: ok ok chill my baby. i love you............................
telephone calls never stopped at the vasisht's and krishnan's house after that for a long time.
date: august 2010
the ringing phone woke diya up. it was sid.
sid: have you decided?
diya: need time.
sid: #$#%$%!%#%^#%$#$%
diya: will you stop hurting me? #$#@%% i HATE you.
(cuts the call and ignores his further calls)
diya kept pondering about how her sid could even talk and think so low about her. the same lips that said i love you once, now talks cheap about her. the same eyes that melted when it saw her, now wreaths sarcasm. the same heart that once beat for her, now despises her. the same guy who hugged her saying she was the best, not boasts about HIS success and her failure.it killed diya to even think of sid. tired, she dragged herself to college where she was pursuing masters in the USA.
date: january 2004
sid: i need to see you diya.
diya: me too. very badly. how about you coming to chennai for the holidays. ill go to bombay for my holidays. ill come back soon and we can meet.
sid: which train are you coming by?
diya: why?
sid: evil grin - i have a better plan. am going to come by that train too. ill get to meet you on the train. it will anyway take 1-2 days for it to reach chennai right?
diya: (feigning ignorance) -yeahhhh...so?
sid: you do realise it's gonna be just us?
diya: ahaan. so? :P
sid: ur gonna be kissed madamoiselle.
diya: (blushes) so are you kind sir!
sid: can i hug?
diya: u dont ask that mister! a GUY does, doesnt ask.
sid: yeah? you know what other things a guy would love to do? :P
diya: oh you are soooo dead loverboy! :)
date: september 2010
sid: i miss you diya (kisses on the phone)
diya: mmm i see
sid: diya? (kisses)
diya: (ignores the kiss)yes sid?
sid: come back to me baby
diya: sid.... (cries on the phone)
sid: yes love? ( breaks up)
diya : i gtg (hangs up)

love story - part 3
date: a rainy day - delhi - 2007
i love you sidharth. i will never leave your side come what may. i love you , love you. sidharth felt a pang of pain as he kept mulling over her. diya - the love of his love, the one girl who completed him. he would have taken on the entire world to be with her. his diya - now a distant memory. just A memory.
sidharth - will you marry me diya?
diya: course stupid.
and she had kissed him on the phone. how time flew?
sid do you realise its been an hour since you went inside the bathroom. get out now - rang sidharth's mother's voice
hurriedly coming out, wiping his eyes, sid planted a kiss on her cheek and waved a bye as he left for college, not noticing his mothers empathetic look.
date : happy days before diya came into his life
,sidharth krishnan - sid as he was known was a wonderful singer,proud member of 'no girls - no pain' club, a computer whiz, aspiring doctor, but an average student and a pampered boy. coming from a progressive thinking but deeply rooted south indian brahmin family, music ran in his veins. inspite of his delhi environment, his very modern friends, he was a tambrahm in his heart . a contrast to his very modern appearance.
dadddd! have you gone nuts! am preparing for my PMPD exams. no way on earth am i going to chennai for the next 2 years and be with relatives. whats wrong with my friends and delhi?
all arguments ending in vain, it was a disgruntled sid who got down from the train as it crawled into central station. he made a mental note to himself that this is one place he was going to be miserable in. poor sid, he didnt know then his life was about to turn topsy turvy.
date: first day - DAV gopalpuram
sidharth felt like a total alien amongst his classmates. delhi and chennai's attitudes don't go together pappa. i told you wailed sid over the phone. but no luck. he knew he was stuck.he waded through and quickly made friends. his cousin also from the same school and good at singing was his closest company and they soon made ripples for their singing.
date : fateful day
student1: let me sign in for JAM but that diya would still win.
student2: well we can come second in oratorical competitions you know?
student3: why dont you go for the singing competition?
sid: am not sure. but alright. write down my name.
date : hero meets heroine
vikram was diya's school senior and now in sidharth's school. sidharth sees diya talking to vikram and thats when he notices her for the first time. earth didnt shake, butterflies didnt fly, bells didnt ring and lights didnt light up. but he knew he was done! completely bowled over.
sid: hey vicks - who's that? (appearing to be non-chalant). your girl? you were grinning too much?
praying he says no.
vicks - well yeah
sid - (shocked) what?
vicks - i wish. (mournful smile)
sid - explain please.
vicks - i tried dude! lady doesnt budge. tough to get her fall for a guy.
sid - happens man! lets drink it over.(appearing sympathetic)
(mind voice - woot woot! tough lady - you are certainly gonna fall for me. i can sense it)
date - april 2010
you are such a loser! you can never decide. all that you can do is whine about things. #%$@^%$#%$#^$ ...
sid couldnt take back his words at diya though he would give anything in this world to take it back. HIS diya. what happened to the same heart that loved diya to insult her this much? sid couldnt forgive himself. but the damage was done.
diya had gone from his life - for the second time!!!
p.s - second time? when was the first then? when did they fall in love? why did they break up in the first placE? how did they get together later? to breka up now? keep guessing. cya in the 4th part.

love story - II
date: the day diya finally saw "the" blog
diya and her cousin bharath were always more of friends than cousins. and he was the first one to know about the blog naturally.
bharath : diya....?
diya: huh?
bharath: do you realise your mouth is wide open like a cave ever since you opened this blog? ( evil laughter)
diya: huh?
bharath: oh god! stop staring at the monitor and look at me.
diya: i cant believe that guy!!! and to think everyone in our school knows about the blog and has read it. love is something private!
bharath: is that why you were so obssessed about the blog and the guy? whats his name anyway? suraj?
diya: sidharth!
bharath : (lol) whatever baby sister! hey look he has given his mail id! want me to act all macho and threaten him?
diya: you do something insane and i swear youll die.
bharath : so spoke juliet of the century! :P
diya - buzz off bro.
sidharthkrishnan@yahoo.co.nz ---diya kept battling in her heart. to mail or not to mail. but she did mail him.
she could sense the rish of blood fill her face, her trembling fingers, the fast beats of her heart. all logic asking her not to mail, but her heart wanting to! why am i acting nuts? she would have asked this infinite times to her dog dushew~
"send" - "click" - diya couldnt stop gushing. now she couldnt wait for a reply. the next couple of months just rushed past with board exams and results and college applications.
at the corner of her heart - she knew she was waiting for a reply. who was this guy? whats he done to me? what am i feeling for this guy? how can i like him without even knowing him.
some passerby : hey diya, looking beautiful
diya : thanks. ( well sidharthkrishnan, that was a start)
date: 10 oct 2010
diya's room mate and best friend madhumitha comes to wake her up and sees her crying. being best friends for a long time, she doesnt need diya to tell what was wrong.
sweetie, come on now! things will be alright!
diya: (wry smile) ya sure! give me 10 minutes. let me get ready.
"what did you do these 4 years? just loved??? did you atleast do something useful with your life diya? did you? did you?" diya wiper her eyes and walked away as madhu looked on worried.

love story - I
date: 10 oct 2010
day: sunday
diya rolled over in her bed,listening to 'you are always on my mind', hugging her pillow that absorbed her tears as she cried silently. "well then this is where we part! i have another girl waiting for me!". the words just wont stop echoing.and the song didnt help either. she sobered up and lay thinking as her memories travelled 8 years to that one day.
date: some day in june, 2002
the Xth passed out students were conducting that year's interschool competition of their school. diya's school was as popular in chennai as she was in school and in chennai student's circle, thanks to all the interschool competitions she went and won. very chirpy she was in the midst of things when he spotted her.
sidharth - born and brought up in delhi and in chennai for his 11th and 12th. a singer and an aspiring doctor. older of the two siblings. (enough introduction for now)
diya - apple of the eye for her parents and again older of the 2 siblings. pampered princess.
what was happening to him, he wondered. was it love? plain craziness? that instant he knew he had fallen. fallen for this girl. the girl he knew nothing about. not even her name. but fallen! big time. fallen hard.
date: some day in 2004
place: boilogy tuition - gopalpuram
diya was just coming out of class when her classmate brindha stopped her with a funny expression.
brindha: diya, is someone following you?
diya: (puzzled) well, i dont know. why?
brindha: some guy from delhi is in love with you. the news has spread like wildfire. he has even proposed in a blog. everyone from our school and his school know about that blog. dont you know?
diya: (surprised) what? a blog? thats crazy! why would someone do that? coward or what?
brindha: well i can give you the blog id if you want. check it out and talk to him.
diya: nopes. not interested. gtg now. ciao
the following days diya just couldnt stop being curios inspite of acting non-chalant. all her friends were also not showing her the blog to irritate her more. anger gave way to curiosity. friends started teasing all the time and it gave way to a sense of liking.
will sidharth and diya meet? when? what happens next. part II
