Classic Story Series- Life has Twist (Part 2)

Continued from Part1
Vineeth's was driven out of his virtual world by a loud honking of the car behind him.The man yelled "F**k. What the hell are you doing?" Vineeth was in no mood to fight with the man. He quickly drove in to a small street to reach his home. Hurriedly picking up the bag Vineeth climbed up the stairs of his ten storied apartment complex to reach his house on the third floor. After opening the door in a hurry he threw his bags into one corner of his room and picked up his phone to dial his friend Rakesh.

Vineeth:"Hey Buddy!! Vineeth here. Howdy?"
Rakesh: "Yo man. Watz up? Doing pretty good."
Vineeth:"I need to talk to you urgently. Can we meet up at our
usual dining place?"
Rakesh: "You mean the A la carte reastaurant on hillocks road? What happened? Anything serious?"
Vineeth: "I can't tell everything on phone dude.Lets meet up there at 7.30 pm tonight."
Rakesh: "Cool. I'll be there. Ciao."

Vineeth kept his receiver to heave a sigh of relief as he now knew that he is going to share something to his close friend that he believed has to be revealed to everyone at some pont of time. He decided to take a short nap before his appointment with Rakesh. As he started to doze off the telephone rang.It was Ashwathi at the other end.

Ashwathi:"Vineeth. I am sorry to disturb you. But I am totally restless ever since you left the office abruptly."
Vineeth: "Oh sorry Ashwathi. I didn't mean to hurt you
intentionally. But I had to leave as I was not feeling
well.".
Ashwathi:"Oh! How are you feeling now? Did you consult doctor?"
Vineeth: "Nothing big. Just a headache. I'll take care. Don't
worry."
Ashwathi: "Ok will call you later. Take care. Bye".
Vineeth: "Bye!!"

Vineeth was now more concerned about Ashwathi's concern for him. He liked her love and affection for him but thought that showing the same would send wrong signals to her on a different note. So he always kept a distance from her. He decided that he should talk to Ashwathi about this one day but kept postponing it feeling that it would ruin their friendship. But now he was determined to discuss that to her as soon as possible because of the one phone call he received yesterday.

Scene: A la carte restaurant. 7.30 PM

Vineeth was looking at his watch every minute ever since he arrived at the reastaurant at 7.20 PM and looking for Rakesh. Every minute seemed to be like an hour for him. Rakesh arrived at the restaurant at 7.35 PM in flashy corvette and sporting denim jean with a levi's shirt much earlier than his usual time. He never kept his time.

Rakesh: "Hi Macha.Sorry da. I am bit late. I was caught up in the
traffic da."
Vineeth: "I know da. When have you been on time."
Rakesh: "Ok. Now what is the matter? So Ashwathi proposed you or
you proposed her.Hahahaha!!"
Vineeth: "Hey I have always told you that I always looked up to
her as my friend and I never wished to cross the line."
Rakesh: "I know machan.Everything starts up with friendship as the
foundation over which everyone builds love. You are
opposing the law of love you know. hahaha!!"
Vineeth: "Hey comeon. I am not here to argue with you on this
subject. I am going to tell you something serious which
you shouldn't reveal it to anyone."
Rakesh: "Come on da. Don't create a suspense. Break the pot."

Vineeth talks to Rakesh about the phone call he received yesterday and the sequence of events that happened after it. Rakesh is now in a state of shock.He can't talk and becomes totally motionless.

Vineeth: "Rakesh!! Hey Rakesh!!!"
Rakesh: "Aint you kidding buddy? I can't believe this."
Vineeth: "Why should I play with you on this man? It is 100% true."
Rakesh: "Why the hell did you tell me man and made me restless? Oh
am sorry. I dint meant it".
Vineeth: "Ya I understand. But I dint know whom to tell but you.
But please don't tell this to anyone. I'll let everyone
know when the time comes."
Rakesh: "Sure. Take care da". Bye."
Vineeth: "Bye"
