Your Say on LOVE!

It was 10 in the morning, I call him and he replies, “Yeah sweetie, I am out of my bed. Just getting ready to meet you.” I left home to meet him at 11 am in Café Coffee Day, VT. I reach there and call him, he says, “Yeah, yeah, I am on my way to meet you! Gimme 10 minutes, I will be there.” Its 11.35 am on the clock. Until now, the waiter came in once to ask for my orders and looked at me with great expectations for more than twice. I call him again to hear, “You don’t trust or what? Wait, speak to the cab driver.” To this, I say “I do trust you and I don’t wanna speak to the cab driver. Just be here asap!” At 12.10 pm he enters the coffee shop and I welcome him not with any taunt or anger, but with a hug! Is this love?? Or merely patience?
He is nice, sweet and a true friend. The best part of him is he never flirts nor is he desperate or shows off his desperateness. A very frank and open person. Someone worth being a sweetheart!

I was sitting in Café Coffee day itself, missing my above mentioned when my best friend comes and during our discussion he says, “Tu ekdum Lallo hai!” he says. I reply, “Mujhe pata hai.” He says again, “You are a mummy’s kid. When will you grow up? You don’t know how to enjoy life. Life outside is very bad. You haven’t even seen an ounce of it. Whatever you have done and wherever you have worked is all bullshit when you don’t know how to live life to its fullest.” I just reply with a “hhmmm” all through! Ultimately, he comes over saying, “Bachu, I am sorrie… but then, everyone can’t talk this out to you. And you really need to change for the better, I never forced you to do anything. Did I?” He comes forward and hugs me like a kid and then, pampers me like yet another kid. Now, is this true love? Or just a way of showing I care?
This guy is a complete wacko! He loves you, cares for you and irritates you as well. He is the only one who speaks out all your setbacks on your face and then knows very well how to get you out of it as well. He knows its criticism that gets me working and he keeps doing that all the time. He is true and believes that certain things in love are reserved only for his wife and hence, he doesn’t want to fool around with anyone. Although he had opportunities to do so many times. Isn’t he a perfect guy?

I was speaking to my best friend at 1 in the night when this sweet friend calls in on the second line but I wasn’t able to answer his call. When finally I answer him after an hour he goes on, “Poora din chapar-chapar! Kuch kaam nahi hai kya?” “Tell me na, what do I do now?” “You are and will always remain my sweet little dumbo friend.” I couldn’t speak to him for a day and he sweetly says in the night, “I missed you all day long.” He stands besides me whenever I wanted a friend, he played all kinds of pranks whenever I he thought I was missing my touch with the kiddish deeds, he spoke to me like a friend who wanted to be heard whenever he was in confusion, he cheered me up whenever I was down.. be it physically not well or mentally ill! Now is this true love or a better half of every person?
He patiently waits for me to finish talking to my other friends and then, calls in to speak to me. He talks to my sister and very sweetly says, “I will pray for her relationship.” He never leaves an opportunity to compliment me whenever I deserve one. He is highly dedicated to his parents and friends. He is one person who says, “Anytime, anywhere—you need me, I am just a call away!” Now isn’t he a gem of a person?

I hung up everyone and was on my bed when my cell beeps and I get to read these stuff. “I’ll write the words for your song, I’ll walk with you all along, I’ll be by your side till the end. Trust me Aaishwari, you are a gem. I am nothing compared to you. Good nite darling!” “Obviously I mean it. I love you the way I love my parents, unconditionally, the way I love myself etc etc.” “I have discovered it now that I am in love with you. No commitments. Just pure and platonic love. No expectations. Let it be through friendship or whatever. I hope you getting it.” Apart from the telephonic conversation we had, this is what we shared through SMSes…. Now temme, is this true love or just flattery?
This guy is a brainy fellow and a genuine sweetheart! He himself has his own problems but still stand by you when you need him. Meeting him up isn’t a game, it happens once a blue moon. But yet, I love the dedication he shows towards my life and work. He keeps praising me for nothing. He knows how to flatter girls very well and yet keeps everyone on hold. Lol! A perfect example of ‘the most eligible bachelor of town’ but will he be the same even later on after I commit to him?

This guy is aloof from everyone. I just read his name in my dialing list and smile. I just read a message he sent some months ago and feel happy for his presence. This guy is the one I truly loved. I never felt he loved me back although we were in a relationship which didn’t last very long. We went for movies together. He always told me that I shouldn’t sleep much and invest that time in something productive so that it is helpful to me in my future. He played an important role in helping me take up BMM as my graduation field. But things weren’t going our way. So I decided to part ways. And when, I broke it out to him… he got back to me! He said I blamed him for everything that happened wrong in our relationship although he wasn’t mistaken. He said he thought I was mature but then, I am just like any other girl. He never wants to see me again now. I don’t know if I still love him or no, but staying without him is a little tough especially when I am alone and have nothing to do. The times we spent while watching a movie or in a restaurant or while sitting facing the sea on Bandstand… they keep getting back to me. I don’t know what do I do now? But I definitely don’t want to return back to him for anything although, I know I still love him somewhere!

Now, guys decide and tell me what true love is and what is friendship? Does true love exist today? Do people realize and really wanna believe in the term ‘LOVE’? Please comment back saying which guy is worth going around with... waiting for your response! And as a help, the first and the last two guys I mentioned are really serious… the others are just great buddies! So go ahead and comment, whom would you have selected had you been in my place?
