First meet... (Ch -1)

 On a September evening at 5.45 pm Madhumitha was struck in the rush hour traffic of the Chennai city. By 6.00 pm  She needs to be at Preethi’s place. How on earth is she going to reach T-Nagar from Ashok Nagar in just 15 minutes? Preethi is going to get upset for sure. Of course she would be upset, because it’s her birthday and Madhumitha is one among her 4 best friends. Anyhow at least by 6.45 pm  now Madhumitha has reached Preethi’s house. There was Madhu’s little crew waiting for her arrival Gayathri (Gayu), Malini (Malu), Abirami (Abi). 

As soon Madhu arrived Preethi started to cut her Birthday cake. Preethi was waiting for her best friend Madhu to reach. Now Malini goes "hey look there two good looking guys in that crowd. The Blue shirt and Black shirt" pointing at the group of guys laughing, cracking up jokes and talking to each other. They are Preethi’s twin brother Pradeep’s friends. On a reply to Malini’s statement Abi said "oh god please, when are you going to stop talking about guys. I am fed up of you." Malini replied "yeah right you saint no wonder you are still single." Then Madhu "Malu you always talk about guys this that etc., then why aren't you in a relationship yet? Stop embarrassing Abi." Malini always shuts up when Madhumitha or Preethi says something to her. Because they both are smart and witty girls who make sure Malini is kept under control from embarrassing anyone.

Now the most annoying time that any birthday girl/boy would hate has come. Yes it’s the birthday bumps time. Since Preethi is a girl she was spared from any birthday bumps, but she had to go through the torture of cake make-up on her face. Preethi’s friends took care of cake make-up on her face and Pradeep’s friends did the honour of birthday bumps to him. In this chaos situation, accidentally the blue shirt guy poured Pepsi on Madhu’s light green Salwar. The guy in blue shirt goes “Hey I am sorry really sorry sorry”, Madhu with a fake smile “that’s alright no problem.” Meanwhile Abi jumps into the conversation and scolds the blue shirt guy who spilled Pepsi on Madhu. Malini is really worried right now and tries to control Abi. Since the guy in the blue shirt is one of the two good looking guys spotted by Malini earlier, no wonder she tries to defend him.

Now the black shirt guy looking at Madhu says “hey come on yaar it’s just Pepsi. Stop making it a big deal.”

Madhu: “huh? JUST Pepsi?

Black Shirt Guy: “yes yaar it is just Pepsi, it will go away when you wash it off”

Madhu: “will you stop calling me Yaar? I am not your Yaar!!! Mind it!! Go and call you Girl Friend with all that”

Black Shirt Guy: “Hello, we can call a friend as Yaar too” and he enjoys at the way Madhu gets irritated with him.

Madhu: “Whatever don’t call me Yaar!!”

The situation was brought under control by Pradeep. By now you would have guessed who that Black shirt Guy is; yes you are right that’s our hero Anand. While have dinner at the birthday party. Pradeep introduced his friends to Preethi’s friends. Now Malini finds out the name of blue shirt guy (Karthick) and black shirt guy (Anand). Anand strikes up a conversation with Madhu.

Anand: “hi, I am Anand”

Madhu: “okay”

Anand: “hello you are supposed to say your names miss”

Madhu: “did you hear Preethi call me as Madhu earlier”

Anand: “that doesn't mean that you cannot tell once again”

Madhu: “I don’t talk unnecessarily”

Anand: “if so, then you shouldn't have said that fact itself, since you told it, this is an unnecessary talk. So you do talk unnecessarily”

Madhu: “arrghh can you stop annoying me now”

Anand: “ha ha, so which college are you madhu?”

Madhu: “I don’t have to tell you all that”

Anand: “ha ha your wish madam”

The the party is over now, Anand had reached home. For some reason he is not able to sleep today. What could it be disturbing our Romeo? His phone rings with the ringtone

“Vizhi Moodi” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SMfBiTVEvE )

This is Anand’s ringtone, but it hasn’t disturbed him ever so far. But why would it make him feel different right now? those where the thoughts running in his mind with that 3 second gap before attending the call, It was Karthick As usual complaining about his girlfriend. Anand was not paying much attention to Karthick. This was quiet unusual of him. When Karthick started to fire him with questions, Anand somehow tackled the situation. Karthick did ask “dude what happen? Do you miss Meera? Is that why you are quiet unusual now?” Anand replied “Meera? no no noway, why would I miss her? I am just tired going to sleep I guess”. 

After the phone call, Anand smiled to himself thinking “why would I miss that female Meera, she is such a pain.” Crops up a notification on his laptop with a sound “ping.” It was the party photos Preethi have already uploaded them. Thanks to Preethi looking at those pictures now Anand knows the reason for his sleepless night today. Yes you have guessed right!! Anand is smitten by Madhu. Looking at her pictures, those dark brown magnetic eyes where giving out warm beautiful gaze. Madhu has a beautiful smile. Anand realises he has a crush on Madhu. But how did he not notice this alluring smile of her when she was just 5 feet away from him.
