Authors Note : This is my 25th chapter for "When we met". As a newbie writer I had never thought I could write these many chapters. This is indeed huge for me. I would like to thank few people who made this possible for me. Thanks to sahisri and SanjanaArjunDas , who helped me doing this indirectly. There were times I had earned for readers , votes and comments, but still I continued writing because it's something I like the most. Even then I had lost interest a few times, but then these people pitched in at the much needed time and pushed me further by their comments and votes, which they are doing till date. For you guys it might be yet another story, but for me it means the most. Thanks to you guys 🙏🏻
Ohmyashangi , you are an angel.. When I almost gave up writing, you came as a savior.. Posting my story and recommending it on your page is beyond words. Your comments and votes did wonders. I would be eagerly waiting for your comments after every chapter. I don't know you by person, but I'm extremely grateful for the time and the effort you genuinely spent for this book. Thank You would be an understatement, but still many thanks to you...
You three would be my "Right people at the right time".
Thanks to all the silent readers as well. Keep reading and keep supporting.
Into the Story
It's been two weeks since their "Deal Weekend". Both of them decided to go with the flow rather than spoiling the moments by battling with their minds. Neither of them confessed nor confronted the other, but still the magic between them was kept alive.
Sanjana was planning to visit her parents during the weekend since it's been a while and also she missed them... A good sleep on her moms lap would help her clear the chaotic mind state. She was about to catch a cab when varun pitched in.
Varun : Sanjana...
Sanjana : There you are... I thought I would miss seeing you before I start...
Varun : Sanju... Shall I come till railway station and see you off. (He dint look well, he seems to be off mood)
Sanjana : But I have already booked the cab which is waiting infront of us. (Replied without noticing his face)
Varun : That's fine.. I will ask my friend to pick up my bike and I will come along with you...
Sanjana : Guess, you have already decided. Come let's go... (found out that he has something to say)
Throughout their ride towards railway station, varun was holding her hands and caressing her hair then and there...
Sanjana : Varun... I'm just going for 2 days. Will be back on Monday morning.. Puthu pondati ah oorukku anuppara mathiri behave panra nee...
Varun widened his eyes on her reply and she clutched her tongue for letting it out..
Varun murmured "No way less than that" which was audible enough for Sanjana to hear.
Sanjana MV : Did I hear it right ! Is he really missing me ? Is that why he looks dry as dust.
Varun : Sanjana.. Eventhough we know for a short time, this is the first time you are gonna be away.. That's why...
Sanjana : Yeah... But I would still text you and call you. Don't worry... But is that all you are really bothering about ?
Varun : Hmmm... Sanjana... Sanju... my training is gonna complete by next week and will soon get deployed in a project...
Sanjana : Oh... (Her face fell) But your project location would be in Chennai right ?
Varun : Yeah I have given my first preferred location as Chennai and second as Bangalore... But mostly they would consider the first preferred location I guess..
Sanjana : What if you are allocated to a different location other than Chennai... ithunaala than disturbed ah irukkaya... When will you get deployed, right after the training or would you be having some break..
Varun : Not sure de. It all depends on the project availability and their demand. I dunno why something is bothering when I think of my training being completed. I thought of not telling you now, but couldn't control my expressions...
Sanjana : Why did you think twice before telling me ?
Varun : It was not that I wanted to hide from you. I thought of not telling you when you are in a happy mood to visit your parents.
Sanjana : That's there but it doesn't mean that I don't care about you.. I would certainly miss our times together... Nenacha I could meet you now, even if you are deployed in Chennai, you would be in different branch.. I'm afraid whether we could meet frequently.
Varun did not reply her rather he wrapped her around shoulders to keep her close to his heart and placed his chin on her head. They were desperately in need of the warmth and embrace. She was now equally feeling low about missing each other.
Varun accompanied her for the first one hour of her train journey. He left only because of her compulsion, as she couldn't travel in peace if he travel back all alone in night. She wanted him to either accompany her till home or leave early so as to avoid fears and worries.
Even though varun badly wanted to be with her, he also wanted to enjoy her share of time with her parents. He dint want to spoil their family moment. So he returned back home and slept by hugging her dress which she accidentally left but he purposely dint return back.
Those two days felt like an era for the love birds. As much as Sanjana enjoyed being with her parents, she equally missed his presence. Whereas he spent his whole weekend with their memories.. Even he thought of visiting his parents, but when they had decided to visit him the next week, he stayed back.
After the weekend, when they could finally meet, varun was sent to another branch in Chennai for a project specific training. He had training for 6 long days including Saturday, which increased their missing feeling by multiple folds.
Even their regular texts or calls or video calls couldn't help their state. In the fullness of time they decided to meet on Sunday.
Varun : Oye...
Sanjana : Oye... Finally tomorrow...
Varun : Yeah... All excited to meet you...
Sanjana : Veetukku varatta? Illa vera engayavathu meet pannanuma?
Varun : Come to *** wedding hall tomorrow by 9. Let's meet there...
Sanjana : Ethukku da anga ? Evlo naal ku apram meet panrom... Anga Epdi pesa mudiyum...
Varun : We aren't gonna spend the whole day there... We will come back to home after the wedding.
Sanjana : Ethu? Enna sonna ?
Varun : Hey. It's my college seniors wedding. Wedding mudinja apram veetukku varalam nu sonnen... Nee Enna de nenacha...
Sanjana : Poda... Na onnum nenakkala... Nee than solla vanthatha onlunga sollala...
Varun : Illaye vara vara Un peche sari illaye... Annikku Enna na pondati nu solra... Ippo Enna Na kalyanam nu solra... Enna de....
Sanjana : Odi po... Fraud paiya... (With blush filled cheeks)
Varun : Neenga phone la blush panna kooda enakku theriyum madam 😉
Sanjana MV : Maanam poguthu....
Sanjana : Pleasa da ...
Varun : Ippo un kooda irukkama poitene de...Nee blush pannum pothu unna paaka epdi irukkum theriyuma...
Sanjana : Nee ethuvum solla venam... naalaikku meet pannalam... Na phone ah vaikkaren...

Sanjana : Illa da salwar pottukkalam nu nenachen...
Varun : Wedding la ... Saree kattitu vaa....
Sanjana : Appo Nee Enna pattu veshti poraya... Wedding avangalukka illa namakka...(She blurted and clutched her cheeks inwardly)
Varun : Unakku avlo avasaram Na, naalaikke kooda pannikkalam (he just murmured but she could hear it)
There wasn't any reply from her and when he took out his phone from ear, he found the call to be ended. "Ketturuchu pola... chuckled... cut pannita.. azhagi ... he spoke to himself.
