chapter 49

Divya - Does it mean that I have to text him first?Sanaya - Yeah, text him. How long will you wait for him? Good opportunities don't come to you on their own. You have to recognize them and catch them.Divya - Oh okay. What if he doesn't like me messaging him?Sanaya - It can never happen. I talked to him. He praised you a lot before me.Divya - Really?Sanaya - Yeah. Really. Don't worry. Text him. Believe me he has been waiting for your text for a long time. Hehe.I chortled, "Okay, I am going to text him right now."She smiled and said, "That's like a good girl."I texted Raj, "Hi…"Instantly his reply came, "Hello Divya, how are you?"I thought, "He wrote five words. It means he is interested in talking to me. I guess Sanaya was right. He has been waiting for my message since we met on the beach."I wrote, "Me good. How about you?"Raj - Me also good.Divya - So what are you doing now?Raj - Just studying.Divya - Oh sorry, I disturbed you.Raj - No nothing like that. I have already studied a lot. I was thinking of taking some rest.I thought, "His words are telltale that he is interested in talking to me."Divya - Raj, you study a lot. You must be reading some other books too which are not in our syllabus.Raj - Yeah, I read a lot of books.Divya - Which types of book you like to read?Raj - I love resding non fiction books.Divya - What about fiction?Raj - I don't read fiction that much. To be very honest, I read a few years ago. Nowadays, I never read.I thought, "I wish he comes out to be a bit romantic too. A boyfriend should be romantic. If he misses this point then…I don't know what to say."Divya - Okay, tell me what kinds of books you read?Raj - I read philosophy books, science books, books about brain and sometimes a bit spiritual books too.Divya - Can you tell me a few points that you learnt from books? Raj - Yeah sure. It's a very interesting question in fact. But it's very difficult to explain on the messages. Can I call you?Divya - Yeah sure. Why not?He called me. I thought, "Thank God. He mustered the courage to call me." I picked up his call. I was mentally prepared to speak lottle and make him say the things that he wanted to say. He started talking on various topics. He talked about philosophy, about science and spirituality. In fact, he was telling me very interesting points from these fields. But I don't know why, I didn't feel entertainment. I could not enjoy his new points. I know I should have enjoyed but… Perhaps, I had become addicted to some other kinds of talks that a good and genuine boy doesn't do. But I kept on listening to him. He was becoming more and more confident as the time was passing. One thing I was sure of was that by manifesting his knowledge before me, he was feeling very good. Hehe. But okay, he was not very boring too. It was going average.He kept on talking to me for about one and half an hour. I listened to him patiently. He also gave me chances to speak but I was not well versed in that kind of literature. I didn't have much to speak. Well, being very honest, I had nothing to speak. So I focussed more on listening to him only but that worked and made him happy.After delivering his knowledgeable lecture to me, he said, "Oh my God, this much time has passed! I didn't even realize that. I have to learn this full lesson today. Divya, I really enjoyed talking to you. I want to talk to you more but now I have to study. Hope you don't mind?"Divya - It's okay. You can study. I also enjoyed a lot talking to you.I lied to him to make him happy. But it doesn't mean that I didn't enjoy. I enjoyed but not that much. Perhaps, that was because of dirty talk addiction. I thought, "Well, it's a bad addiction and I should get rid of it…"He hung up the call and buried his head under the books. I said to myself, "He is a good boy but he needs some training. No problem, I will train him. And perhaps, I need some training too to become a normal good girl again. Of course, that I will learn from him."I texted him, "Good night dear." I said to myself, "I am sure the word dear is going to work wonders. It will boost his confidence to take a step ahead to get close to me. Hehe!"My idea worked. The word dear boosted his morale. From the next day onwards, Raj started talking to me on his own. He started texting me first and then he switched to calling me too after a few days. Days passed by and we began to talk to each other daily. He would talk about science, about philosophy, about religion, about history, geography, sociology blah blah. He was really a treasure of knowledge. I thought, "If I get a chance to give him the job I like, then I will make him a lecturer. He really suits this post."One day, we were sitting on the beach on Sunday morning at about 9 a.m. and talking to each other. He opened his treasure of knowledge as usual before me and wanted me to loot his treasure. Obviously, I was not interested in his treasure of knowledge but I was interested in him.While he was pouring on me the ocean of knowledge, I thought, "He is missing romanticism. I want him to he romantic too. But what to do? What can I say to him about that? I can't say directly to become romantic. But why should he talk romantically to you? He is not your boyfriend. Neither you nor he has confessed his love to you." (It will be so nice of you, if you leave at least a single word comment and please don't forget to follow me and become my superfan.
