Raj lived with two other guys in Bangalore. One is karthi and the other was vinoth. Raj called up vinoth to know if he was leaving home this weekend (so that they can discuss this issue).
Vinoth is a very homely boy? (in the same sense that we say she is a homely girl). He goes home once in every month on the second weekend. So Raj was just enquiring whether they can have a meeting at home to discuss. As expected Vinoth had decided to leave home that weekend.
Raj wanted this discussion to be private. So he made call to arthi first. She hadn't called him for a year or so now (but has given him a missed call (!) every day).
Raj – "Hello. Arthi"
Arthi – "Raj I am busy I will give you a missed call when I am free. Sorry man!"
Raj was about say "bye" but the call was off before that.
He knew that karthi would be at home on Saturday so decided to mail them.
Hi karthi/arthi,
I have arranged for a party at home coming Saturday (6.00 PM). Please make sure you attend the same.
Regards,
Raj
Note: Defaulters will be prosecuted!
He checked up his watch it was Thursday today. So one more day. When he was thinking of the same …. a mail (reply) came. It was from karthi!
Raj,
As you know I have a appointment with my girlfriend at 5.00 PM on coming Saturday. It seems that I will be pretty much occupied during the weekend.
So I will not be able to attend the party that day!
Regards,
Karthi
"Life is once don't waste it by marrying a girl"
The mail was sent to both arthi and him. Raj was wondering who was karthi's girlfriend. He knew the reason behind karthi's new found girlfriend, it was arthi. Raj was determined that karthi should attend the meeting!
Raj replied to all saying,
Karthi, I spoke with your girlfriend just now she said that she is busy coming Saturday as she is on a date with your project mate Prem. I don't think you have two girlfriends. So make sure you attend the party on Saturday.
Karthi never replied back. Raj has always maintained that karthi and arthi are equal to him. He would never hurt one in front of other. Karthi thought that Raj is serious here and decided not to make fun anymore!
So after sometime a missed call came from arthi! The first thing she asked was "From when did your friend have a Girlfriend! (She laughed loud at that) A girl's life screwed! (she murmured)"
Raj was not happy (He was never happy with their fights) Anyway he replied "What's your problem here? Are you jealous? "
arthi "sorry raj I was just wondering ………." A long pause "So Raj what's the party all about?"
Raj , " Just come over. I have to speak to you both and don't worry, it not about you both".
Arthi "ok Raj I will make to at 6PM sharp "
The meeting was confirmed at last.
Karthi was very curios about what this is all about. Raj and karthi used to have dinner together at the Transit (A hotel). So during the dinner karthi brought this issue forth.
"So raj what's this all about?"
"Just don't ask me!"
Karthi has never seen him so serious before. So he kept quiet and never brought up this before him till Saturday at 6 PM.
Saturday 6 PM arrived and arthi had arrived just 5 minutes back. Her house was just near by (15 minutes walk). She used to walk to Raj's house (part of her weight reduction plan though she was never overweight).
So Karthi asked the question that he was thinking all over 2 days (day and night).
"So you are in love Raj?"
If you think the person who was stunned on hearing this was raj? It was not to be but it was arthi who was shell shocked!
Raj said "Yes I am".
Arthi – "what's this raj? This is totally unacceptable. You know I can't love you".
On hearing this Raj and Karthi started to laugh like crazy. Raj has not laughed for more than a week now. And karthi enjoyed the moment and he thought "Do you think raj is blind?"
Arthi was very much angered "Ok Raj I am leaving."
Raj stopped laughing on hearing this. He knew that she was embarrassed. Raj gave a look at karthi as if he wants to kill him as he was laughing still.
After sometime karthi stopped laughing.
Raj – "Sorry Arthi that was spontaneous and not intended to hurt you! Don't worry I am not in love with you"
Karthi said in low voice "neither me nor any man with senses"
Arthi – "So you are in love with a girl? And who is that?".
Raj – "Mmmmmm no with a boy" Raj and karthi started to laugh again! This time arthi was so angry that she threw the alarm clock lying near by towards raj.
Karthi was stunned … as it was his clock! –"Hey this is not your house don't destroy my things. Do you think that was your grandfather's?"
"Ok no fighting" this was raj.
Karthi –"Raj it was you who have called us to discuss something Please don't waste my time (destroy my things). If you want to say something sensible I will wait else I am leaving."
Arthi agreed to that as she was silent.
"Ok there is a puzzle I want to solve and I need your help".
