Suksy's Tumbles

WTF??? A wrong way for a date!

• NOTE: This is a true incident.. all events are NOT fictionary and Yeah, you can relate this incident to me and my ex colleague. No names please.. Even if she visits the blog, she should not come to know that I am writing about her!!!
• A few of my friends know abt my disastrous date wid my colleague (she is now an ex colleague!) I'm trying to put the same as a conversation here.
• Me: (Reaching her place after completing office by 10:30 PM on one of the days of dasara - to attend durga puja) Hey honey, u ready?
• She: Gimme a min yaar.. main kyaa pahnoon.. theek hai, lemme wear a jeans and a tee and join u in two mins.. wait for me at the door!
• <Like a good friend, I wait for her at her door step and my eyes almost pop out when she arrives later wearing an awesome tee and a few of my most active hormones get tingled then>
• She: Okay papa, bye.. raat der hogi... main 12 baje tak pahoonch jaaoongi
• <Interest gone for a toss, hormones lost etc etc as soon as I hear the term papa!!! Thought of ditching the date at that moment and go home like a good guy, but the last few hormones still persist for a possible chance of something working out!>
• Me: Papa? When did ur dad arrive?
• She: Today afternoon, my papa, my mama, my bhai and my cousins all came to gimme a surprise!!
• Me: (thinking to myself) Surprise? WTF? Mujhe toh KLPD ho rahaa hai!!!
• <We then go out on my bike, enjoy the ride on the inner ring road from koramangala to indiranagar. I try to proceed with my "exploring" and she avoids it>
• Me: Kyaa hua? Why are you behaving differently tonight?
• She: Kuch nahi.. tum rasta dekho.. gaadi chalaao.. mujhe bore ho rahaa hai.. ab hum kahaan jaayenge? kyaa karenge? puja mein bhi mazzaa nahi aaya... boring tha!
• Me: toh bolo, aur kahaan jaayenge?
• She: Forget it naa.. lets go back home to maa and paa
• Me: oh yeah.. now u have ur maa and paa to go back to.. what do i do? i don't wanna to home so early coz am alone there.. wanna join me? <wink!>
• She: U toh.. u never change.. chalo, i'll introduce u to maa and paa
• Me: (thinking to myself) WTF? wht did i land myself into tonight?? Durga maa ki jai! Something terrible is gonna happen
• <I unwillingly take a U turn on the flyover of Domlur Junction and head back to her house.. I did not have any other option.. @11:30 PM, I reach her place and promptly, she introduces me with great gusto to her parents>
• She: Papa, main bol rahi thi naa.. woh ladka, yahi hai.. Suksy
• Papa: Suksy?
• Me: Uncle, it is Sukumar, All My friends call me Suksy!
• Papa: Oh ok.. nice name! Good to meet u my son.. she keeps talking abt you always... I am so glad she has "friends" who are like you
• Me: (Thinking) Oh Shit, what did I land myself into!
• Me: Okay Uncle, chaltaa hoon.. nice talking to you
• Papa: Take care my boy, reach home safe and give her a call that you reached home safe!
• She: Papa, main isse gadi tak chod aati hoon
• Me: (Thinking) Finally, something might happen now!!!
• Me: Bye yaar... We had a nice time at the puja there..
• She: Okay.. Bye, Good night
• <We walk in silence till the bike, she holds my hand and then says>
• She: I had a lot of things in my mind today.. mom and dad came in the afternoon and you know what? They are thinking of getting me married off!
• Me: <OMG! Why is she talking like this to me now at this time??> Oh! Is that so? What was your answer?
• She: I've asked them to wait for some more time, but they are not agreeing to it
• Me: Oh!! C'mon hon, you are old enough to get married.. why don't you accept your parents wishes.. Anyways, it was nice having a different kind of outing tonight.. Ciao, catch you sometime soon then! Bye and Good Night!
• She: Ciao.. take care, Good night! Do buzz me when u get home!
• <And that is how it ended.. Nothing gained, Nothing lost on that day too!!!>
• But the fun part is this:
• Sometime the next week, I get a call from her mentioning that her dad wants to speak to me and there was the atom bomb dropped on me. Her dad asks me:
• .
• .
• .
• .
• .
• .
• .
• .
• Papa: Beta, tumhaara kundali dedo, hum apne pundit se confirm karke tumhe boldenge.
• That was the last time I spoke to her casually and jokingly asking her out.. I am now still in touch with her, but after clarifying that I am uninterested in marriage and I treat her as a good friend and nothing else..
• Baal baal bachgaye.. Or do you call this Anti Climax? Your wish!
