Raj Verma was quite on their way back home from The Seth's House. He kept driving and listen to his parents discussing about Minal, but didn’t comment at all. Usually Raj would straight away tell his parents about his decision like, "No, I don’t approve for this girl." or "No, I won’t marry her." But this time he was strangely quite, which was immediately noticed by his parents. They were happy that he hasn’t rejected Minal straight away just as he has done in past for other girls. They knew he was giving it a thought and they let him think.
Seeing her opportunity Mrs. Verma started talking about Minal’s positive points, like her beauty, education, capable of cooking etc etc, hoping that he will say "Yes" this time. When they finally reached home it was time for lunch. At the table nobody talked. Mr. & Mrs Verma waited for their son to say something, but he was deep in his thoughts. Mrs Verma smiled, she knew when something had got Raj’s interest, it was a big deal for him, specially when it came to be a girl. Raj was never interested in girls in his entire life ever. After lunch everyone went to their rooms.
Walking towards his room Raj kept thinking about Minal, when he bumped at his bedroom door.
"AAHH, great now she makes me daydream about her." He entered his room , massaging his forehead from pain. He sighed heavily and laid on his bed.
"What is wrong with me?" He asked himself . "Why am I behaving like this, Its not that I am in lo…, oh, that’s impossible".
"Why impossible"? His heart said.
"Because he doesn’t even know her properly. You got to know a person before you are in love with them." Replied his brain.
The debate between his mind and brain started.
"Rubbish, you probably never heard of ‘love – at – first - sight’."
"That is just hocus – pocus. No person with a sound mind will believe in that."
"Because its not where mind is required, its were heart works. It’s something about feelings not about technology. Love just happens you cant help it."
"No way, you got to have some connection with that person to fall in love."
"He already got that connection. He got attracted towards her." Declared his heart.
That was when Raj understood all the reason behind his restlessness, he was attracted to her. Raj started recollecting his memory. Her pretty face, the way she walked, those expressive eyes, that cute nose, the innocent smile and those lovely pink lips, those inviting lips, Oh God. His hands automatically reached out to massage his Heart, which was aching for Minal already
"Yes, I need to know her more, I want her, I…….." Suddenly his thoughts were interrupted.
"Raj??" called his Mom.
"Huh?? Where, what , who??"
"Raj, what are you thinking, I have called your name thrice."
"Nothing, I am …… I was just……em……..Why did you call me??" He was all red in embarrassment of the position he was in and quickly removed his hand from his chest. Startled, Raj sat up on bed.
His Mom noticed this and said, "You like her, right?"
Surprised Raj looked at his mom.
"Hahaha, don’t be so surprised, we knew it from the moment you saw her."
By now Raj was looking at the floor, he didn’t wanted his mom to see him blushing.
"We could see that in your eyes and then you have been smiling for the whole day. Listen Raj, I and your dad think that Minal is perfect for you and….."
"My answer is ‘Yes’." Announced Raj cutting his mother mid sentence.
"What??" said Mrs. Verma in her utter surprise.
Raj inhaled before he repeated himself.
"I said, I will marry her."
For a minute Mrs. Verma starred at her son. She hadn’t expected his answer so soon. She had expected it would take a day or two for her to convince Raj to marry Minal. Hearing no response from his mother, Raj looked up and saw a starring face. He chuckled, which brought Mrs. Verma back to her sense and she excitedly hugged her son.
"Oh, I am so happy, my dear. Thank God. I waited so long for this day." Saying this Mrs. Verma ran to her husband to tell him the good new.
"I hope Minal likes her husband" Wondered Raj, Smiling to himself.
That night Raj slept listening to Peter Andre’s song - "Mysterious Girl."
