The type of guy with that perfect physic, looks and strong characteristics and charisma that every girl would want to have in their life. Arjun is actually a very jovial and a happy go lucky person. With his friendliness he can just sweep anyone off their feet. Yes, that was Arjun. Every girls dream. ” So are you having anything towards Arjun now?” ” NO NO NO.. its just that when he talks he doesn’t talk nonsense. Even he didnt talked much today in the discussion, but i can feel that he is someone who is very sensible and someone who thinks using his brains not his ass.. hahhaahhah” both laughed. ” But at the same time we don’t know right. Guys are all the same, they will be that sweet charming angel in the beginning and as time passes by they will tend to show their color. They will be like that perfect man in this world, and by the time they realise that their girl cant leave without him thats when they will start taking advantage”.. dont you think so Dhanya? At this point of time, its so clear that Divya is confused. ” You sound confused Divya. Do you realise that? Do you actually realise that this thing is really making you a very confused person now. Ok lets not jump over the fence without knowing whats on the other side okay.

Listen to me carefully, i bet after this, you guys are goin to meet more often due to your business and so on. So, get to know him more but as you said dont make it obvious, or else he will think that you are going after him. Maintain your distance. Get to know him in person, his character and how is he. Dont assume anything okay. But of you think that you should know him more, then go ahead, nothing is wrong ok? Remember Divya, dont rush this is ONLY the first meet, look im stressing on it again, this is just ONLYYY the first meet! so dun assume or jump into anything ok ..got it? “. She just sounded like Divya’s mother, giving such a long lecture mixed with worries. That was their frienship.Sharing everything they know in life.. She just doesn’t want Divya to get into any trouble or dissappointments. After a while they hung up. Divya was thinking to herself, is she really interested to get to know this guy? Is it worthwhile? Before she could even figure our the answer to that question, she heard a sms tone in her phone. She took the phone and checked and to her suprise it was Arjunn!!?? She was extremely shocked to see his sms in her inbox. Tottally unexpected! Is this some sort of telepathy or something.. i mean.. “I was just talking about him .. and..oh gosh..dont tell me Dhanya said something to him…”Still feeling confused, she went on to read the sms. It starts..” Hi Ms. Divya…….

………..to be continued…………..

“Hey thats Arjun”.. Arjun…ARJUN!!.. “hey Dhanya its you.. what are you doing here..”Arjun asked. Dhanya replied” Well i was down at the bookstore and i saw you walking by. Whats up with that suit. You look really nice in it..” Arjun said” Thanks. Just finished my meeting now heading back to the hotel. Its down the road so thought of taking a slow walk and enjoy the Aussie streets.” Hey Arjun if you not rushing why dont we go for a coffee maybe. Arjun replied ” well .. how can i resist an offer from the hot chick..ahahahhahah” Dhanya said” ok just gimme a sec i will go grab that book and come okay.. just hang on there..” Dhanya went inside the boookstore and paid for the book and both started walking towards the cafe. Its by the river looking across Sydney opera house. Its a very nice view and both were talking non stop bout so many things. Arjun was tellin Dhanya what is his business about and so on. And Dhanya was telling bout her life in Aussie with her Masters. “So Arjun when you heading back home” Arjun said ” Well if you give me a chance i would stay back here but i have to go back. My flight is this Friday morning” Dhanya ” Ah so fast? Why so short trip. You just got here like what.. last week or something.”

Arjun replied ” No i have to go .. i came just for the meeting. Once im back there will be tonnes of things that i need to settle like preparing for the MoU’s and so on” Dhanya asked anxiouly “What the hell is MoU?” Arjun laughed and said ” MoU is Memorandum of Understanding. Meaning when to organisation work together for a same product like partners they will sign MoU. Its like contract lar.. u know perjanjian..sumtin like dat” Dhanya ” oooo ok ok. i reli dont know all this business terms..”

Ding Dong; Arjun’s mum, Mrs Ambika opened the door. “Where have u been so early in the morning Arjun? Have u had your breakfast?” Yeah ma. I made bread toast with eggs. Why? Did u make anything ma? Yeah. I prepared your favorite Ghee Thosai.. Smiling with bitterness in his heart, he walked in..not feeling like he was “home”.Arjun sat at the dining table and stared at his plate. His mum just placed the hot ghee thosai on his plate. “Where is Appa?” Oh, he went to Uncle Siva’s office since they have to plan something for their next trip to Auckland the coming week. Nodding his head, Arjun kept staring at the thosai without eating.

From the dining, he was seeing the medical report lying on the coffee table next to the Main door. His mum walked towards the table wondering what was the envelope Arjun had brought back home. She picked it up with a shock on her face. Where did u get this Arjun? Why are you having this? Arjun just kept his silence and smiled with tears filling his eyes all at the same time. “I went to the hospital to collect the report ma. I know ma that everyone had been hiding this from me. This is not right. Why didn’t anyone tell me? Why ? How can this happen?” Arjun tears was filling his eyes even more, but he just held it back to not make it obvious to his mum. “Arjun., take it easy aiya. How long u do you want to keep thinking about this? Please eat. We all know how bad is this, but we have to fight this together..please” Arjun’s mum just held his head with her hand and brought him closer and comforted him. She was holding back her tears as well to not make him feel any worse.

Amma left the dining area, and Arjun had no appetite as usual. He opened his laptop and started browsing thru some files in his laptop. He was looking at some pictures in his folders and saw a picture which brought back some old memories. It was so funny, that he immediately smiled without realising he was smiling.. after a long time.. It was a picture taken with his business associates from Australia. Pictures of their funny faces and weired poses. He still remembers that picture. It was taken at the opera house after the play,in which they all headed towards the Zucchini Café after the show. It was one of those famous late night hangouts in Sydney.. That was a time of it’s own.

Without any hesitation.. Arjun broke the silence..”Hey Dhanya if you dont mind me asking.. who is this gal Dhivya? and a how do u know her? ”

“oh, She is my good old friend.. best friend i would say with a grin on her a face” and Without caring any less Arjun directly said “Well.. i think she is kinda snobbish.. and arrogant..nothing great by the way..”

“Hey Arjun.. what’s with you on Dhivya.. sounds like something unlikely happened.. What is that? ”

“Hmmm yes indeed.. Well.. i met her at the bar the day before this.. and passed her car ticket thinking it was her’s, but she just walked away rudely thinking i was dropping a line at her…was so pathetic..surely not a good start thought…”

” Aha.. so you were the one..she told me what happened as well… Honestly Arjun she is an extremly nice gal.. Well you know .. sometimes.. when the day is just blue.. things turn sour.. but in real person.. she is very sweeet.. nothing of what sort you think about her is real.. trust me… ”

And they were talking..catchin up with all the memories ..college.. social life.. how Arjun got into business.. family..their ex-es

Another 20min left, before the flight was gonna take off.. Dhanya’s parents was giving her their last lecture of do’s and dont’s… and as usual she was nodding her head.. agreeing to all.. with a wide smile on her face. The anxiouness to take that flight was written on her face..

It was then time to board.. and as she was queing up .. someone familiar was at her left.. she sensed it and quickly made a turn.. to her suprise.. it was Arjun.. “Hey Arjun.. what your doing here?”…” “Dhanya? what a pleasent suprise.. how are doing..” “Iam doing great Arjun.. going to australia to complete my Master’s.. what about you” …” Well.. im on a business trip.. my company just got affiliated with a tech company from Australia. So goin there for a meeting. Dhanya says ” WOW thats great… business man uh..cool cool” Arjun replied” Nah.. u know me… i jus love business” Both laughed..

Anyway Arjun.. come.. let me introduce you to my family.. this is mom.. dad.. Dhivya.. and all.. Diyva was shocked to see that Dhanya knows Arjun.. the guy she bumped into at the bar the other day.. someone she had a bad impression on.. but actually.. her liking’s are sort of changing.. who is this guys.. not bad he’s kinda good looking..but.. i still wont forget the pick up line her used that day..arrr.. well whatever..

After that quick introduction..Dhanya’s Family shed tears of joy as they were very proud to see their baby gal moving on daringly to a unknown country to mature her education… Dhanya and Arjun left the boading station.. on their way to australia.. not returning back for the next coming months..

As the family left behind at the airport was walking back towards their car.. Divya started to feel uncomfortable.. at the corner of her heart some sort of unspoken feelings started to appear.. hmmm am i jeolous.. nah.. it can’t be..

“Aight people.. this is the last call for the floor ..so ladies get on the floor..” DJ announced the last song for the day..

” Damn dat was awesome party..THANKS GUYS for coming over for the party.. im gonna miss all you all u know..” Dhanya shouted to all her friends who were present there. Dhanya is leaving to Australia to continue her Masters and at the same time settle down there with her boyfriend who has a business running in Melbourne. “Dhanya love you girl.. im leavin now. i will text u once m back kay..and i will see you on sunday at the airport..” Divya left Ruums and walked towards her car.

“Hey Hey..Excuse me ma’am..Ma’AM..”.. Divya just turned and saw someone walkin straight to her..she jus grabbed her handbag tight close to her body.. she cant see clearly who the person but she can see that he is getting closer. ” Ma’am i think you dropped this.. ” Divya looked and saw a parking ticket. Divya just flashed her parking ticket to the guy and said ” Thanks but thats not mine.. and YOU KNOW THAT!…” She just got into the car, locked it first before she sped off nearly knocking off the guy…
Guy was thinking in his mind..”Pretty cute..mmm but arrogant..”

suddenly..”Eerrr xcuse me bro think thats mine..” ” Ohoo.. thats urs” passing the parking ticket to the guy. “Thanks man” ..”no prob bro..” Deep inside his heart he was thinking .. damn.. Ohh Goddd.. she mus be thinkin that im tryin to make a move ..shit..anyway she was arrogant..biyatch”

Divya stopped at the traffic light before turning to her housing area.. Deeply thinking bout wat happened and she realised that the guy was the same guy that she saw across the bar table earlier at the club…”Shit. very wrong impression i had from his looks..guys are always guys..” driving into her porch..

Diagnosed: Brain Tumor”..damn..daMN..DAMN!!..thats the only word running in Arjun’s mind. Appu turned and asked ” yes sir..anything? you looked disturbed. Is everything ok?”..” no no nothing jus drive..” said Arjun and looked back at the Ampang Puteri’s report signed by Dr. Gary Arumugam.

ttit tnniit nttniit..”next we have Burn from Usher only on Hitz.fm mornin crew JJ and Rudy..” Arjun sat on his bed listening to the Usher on the alarm radio.. He just cant stop thinkin bout the medical report that he read.. He took his shower and walked to kitchen to make some breakfast.. Its saturday morning and he checked his PDA if there is any appointments today..Then he knew Appu wont be in today since he is going back to his in-laws place …Arjun thinking to himself..he just grabbed the keys of his Sylvia and drove out from his apartment to nowhere..the car just went on and on…till he reaches a place..a place where he never been for sometime..about 3 to 4 months..a place where he used to go almost everyday.. Arjun just parked his car and washed his legs.. and went ..there stood the priest greeted him..” ennaya arjun..so long didnt see you? overseas trip again?” Arjun just smiled and shook his head.. after making the rounds he just sat at the end corner of PJ Sithi Vinayagar Alayam..the exact place where he always sits..
” Why do You have to do all this to me? i just cant take it god..i just cant..im breaking down.. how can i be so stupid and blind..you should shown me a sign..how am i to live in this world.. how can i repay to all of wat i have done in this life..answer me..coz i just cant find the answers within me” tears flowed on Arjuns cheek..he jus cluctched his hands and closed his eyes…
leaned the back of his head on the carved pillar of the temple..
his mind flew..far far away….
