Part 3 posted

Okie people...want story ideas...read this and give ideas on what mita should do...best suggestion gets...whatever you want...

"Talk to him once if you don't like him then just reject him!"
Mita was uncomfortable with this...she hated this concept...of being looked at or looking at someone in that way. It is so much better to know people for who they are without having to see them through the prospective angle/lens.
Its pretty stressful to talk to someone with that little piece of information at the back of your head.
It came as a relief that Nidhi had already done the ground work for her. She had already told the guy "everything" -all the things that had stopped others in their track! All the details. After all it was Nidhi's cousin she was talking about.
"I can't reject anyone! Its so cruel to do that"
"Fine, do whatever you want" she could sense the anger in Nidhi's voice
And we all know when a woman uses the word "fine" that means trouble.
"To be honest with you Nidhi...I am ok the way I am...I don't want any of this"
"Fine. All I am asking you is talk to him"
"I am more comfortable emailing"
"Okie will let him know"
"Thanks hon! And don't you get angry with me...you are all i got here!"
"Thats what i am saying let me help you...you deserve so much better...and would I pick someone bad for you?"
"Okie my head is going to swell up now...so i will talk to you later"

She kept the phone down.
She recieved an email from him the next day. He told her that Nidhi had told him everything about her. He was fine with it, after all no one in this world is perfect and everyone has a history. And that he had heard so many good things from Nidhi about her. He wanted to know more about her from her.... At the end of the email. He asked for a picture.
Mita thought about it. Her heart and head both said "No" but for Nidhi's sake she will send him a picture. She wasn't a beauty just average looking...so she took a really bad picture of herself and sent it to him. Hoping he wouldn't be interested after that...after all how much can a guy take! But surprise of surprise he fould her cute! And said how beatiful she looked.
And the email began to flow in...

Now...don't know what to do with Mita...suggestions on what she should do are welcome...and keep in mind this is fiction ;)

Part -2
He seemed eager to know about her. He had said all the right things. But there was something that Mita could not put a finger on it but something in her being advised her against it...some sort of sixth sense. It had warned her before, but she had supressed it then and the consequence she will have to live with for the rest of her life. She was utterly confused. On one hand was the pressure from everyone around her to get married...she was fast approaching the dreaded age. She didn't have anything special about her...average looks, average finances...and then at the top of it the stigma of...she shook her head to not even start thinking about that....
Nidhi had promised her she told him "everything"...he never mentioned any of it in his emails...only in the first he had mentioned none of us being perfect....
She didn't have it in her to find love again. And everyone else had given up on her...through it all Nidhi had stood by her like a rock...She still instilled hope in her...and after her(Mita's) last attempt had failed...Nidhi decided to step in and take some action and thats how Vivek came in the picture.

Part 3

"Good Night!"
"Good night, Kev" she looked at the time it was already 7.30 and she was still at work trying to meet the unrealistic schedules that managers promise to the executive team!
She hated taking her work home but she didn't have much of a choice, she shoved the notebook in the bag and headed home, there were still people working...but she was exhausted.
"Good night guys"
"Good night Mita"
"Have a good one"
"See you tomarrow"

By the time she reached home it was already 8.30.
She rebooted her computer, logged into messenger, switched on the t.v. Picked up the phone to check her messages.
You have 2 new messages. To listen to your messages press 11...
The automated voice response continued.
First Message
"Mita, its me (It was Nidhi) its 8 o clock where are you? Nothing particular will call you later. Bye"
To reply to the message press...Second message
"Haan meetu beta, call home...you didn't even call last week (It was mom)"
She calculated the time must be around 7 in the morning in India. Too early to call mom and dad.

She called Nidhi
Her husband picked up the phone
"Hi Nidhant"
"Hi Mita, how are you?"
"I am good and you?"
"I am good too. You sound tired though"
"Kinda, long day at work..."
"Tell me about it! Let me call Nidhi"
"Thanks"
"Heeey!!!"
"Hi Nidhi, got your message"
"Yes, so how is it going?"
Mita knew what she was asking!
"katt rahi hai"
"Kaat maat..so hows it going with Vivek "
"I donno...he seems like a nice guy"
"He is"

Leave her alone Nidhi...she just came back from work let her rest. She could overhear Nidant.

"You just got home? from work you mean?"
"Where else?"
"ok..you know what nidant is right will call you on the weekend"
"Its ok. You tell me, how are you"
"Same old same old. I was talking to my aunt last night and it occured to me you haven't told me how its going with Vivek"
"He emails me now and then and I reply to him. Last week he asked me if i have messenger".
Nidhi detected no emotions in the way she said that.
"You know what, take a few days off...lets go to Montreal..."
"I wish...release hai...and I have to fend for myself", she laughed.
"hmm..we will have to do something about that"
They both laughed.
"Mita, call me on the weekend"
"Alrighty"
"Bye."
"Bye"

She searched for some kind of a quick meal...baggett-tomatoes- she decided to make do bruchetta with cranberry juice.
She longed for a well cooked meal...like mom made.

She worked on the project for a few hours.
What a life she thought. It occured to her no wonder she did not have anyone in her life...where was the time for it? Online relationships was all she had time for!
