Preet was asleep, when the phone rang. She looked at the time, it was screaming 11 PM. In anticipation, she picked up the call.
"Chundari Penne!" the voice said and continued, "It means pain in the ass."
"Liar! They came up with a full song dedicated to it and the words mean a slang?" Preet asked.
"I can't tell you the meaning on the phone. For that I would have to meet you personally. Can you wait for a month?" questioned Karthik.
"A month!" she exclaimed and continued, "What will happen in a month?"
"For one, I will get better".
"What happened to you?" she asked concerned.
"Jaundice. Couldn't have happened at a worse time," he said.
For a few seconds both were silent each waiting for the other to speak. Then he questioned, "Tell me something honestly Preet, why did you message me now?"
"I can't tell you the reason on the phone. For that I would have to meet you personally. Can you wait for a few days?" she repeated his earlier reply.
He laughed and asked, "Why? What will happen in a few days?"
"For one, I plan to write a detailed lov..letter to you".
"Letter! Like really? Who write one in this century?" he mocked her.
They continued talking for over an hour in which she asked him more details about his illness, about his work. While he informed her about his promotion, she talked about hers. In the end, he gave her his address.
The next day, she sat and wrote a letter, where she confessed all her feelings for him. It started with a poem. She posted it on her way back from work. He called her twice and they spoke for a few minutes with a promise to catch up at night again.
She called him around 10 PM. He didn't pick up. She went off to sleep and he called her just before midnight.
They were joking and Preet was giggling, then right in the middle of the conversation Karthik asked her, "Where are we going with this, Preet?"
(What do you think will Preet reply? Will she confess her love to him or not? To find out more, read Part 11 at http://goo.gl/XCbkGI).
