CEG’s HEART VOICES – PERFECTLY UNCHAINED HEARTS

“Some people search their whole lives to find what I found in you – LOVE. So where did it all start, baby?”

This is how he started to tell his love story amidst some busy symposium times in CEG. For the first time ever, the blog has got narration from the couple as a whole. Amidst the cute chronicle, situation drove even more endearing when she corrects him in between and he corrects her with high point drama live.

“Initially I had a gang of friends in first semester which had four boys and two girls.”, he started. “As said, first semester gang sustains long. Surprisingly, she was not one within the gang. She started a conversation with me in a weird way”, both laughed. “How did she start?” I asked with lots of eagerness. “It was obvious that I wanted to talk to him and I just blabbered something that came into my mind. Both of us are common with our native – Madurai. But he settled in Chennai and I went abroad for my school studies. So I started with, ‘Madurai la endha area (Where was your place of stay in Madurai?)’”, she smiled big till her cheekbones hurt. Then came the typical Whatsapp corners. After some long chats in little hours, I found an instant spark with her and so couldn’t resist but just bring her into my gang. She started becoming close with my people. Everything related to me became mutual to her in very few days. Soon, she became my reason to attend boring classes. She became my reason to look forward to the next day expecting her cute pretty smile every day.”

“One day, when there was random thoughts being shared in our hostel, I just blurted out my reverie, ‘I feel XXX(he) is pretty handsome among other guys in our class’. There started the mocking session."she said. "I myself revealed my special likes for her within the gang. Everything seemed to be perfect when I was with her" he added in between. "Everywhere our eye contacts were noted and people started to surround us or giggle about us from some distance”, She was stopped by him. “You know what; I actually enjoyed all that…” She blushed.

Gang outings are mandatory before a couple gets committed within the gang. “We, means, me and my gang went out for a movie, REMO. And unexpectedly, we both sat together inside the theatre. We spent some cute time watching those romantic scenes onscreen. We started feeling that we are much more than the ‘just friends’ stereotype. As usual, mocking sessions happened now and then, with an expanded circle each day. One fine day…, both of us sat in first row, but different column set. I just yelled out for fun, ‘Oyi, Enaku epo OK solluva (When will you give thumbs up for me?)’. Everybody excluding the faculty noticed my utterings and her blushes.” He stopped to look if I am listening. Three of us started laughing for a while.

“I already had a love in school, which didn’t work out for obvious reasons. She had a huge crush on a guy from her school, which didn’t get promoted in realistic platform. Maybe, cupid had waited so long to write a common love story for both of us. We started sharing our personal past lives. I started telling her everything, even things which I had kept secretive from my family. What more? This is LOVE, we knew. But, the fear of losing our exquisite friendship stopped us from confessing. I started texting her whole-heartedly, ‘Enaku epo di OK solluva’. She used to reply, ‘O varaikum vandhirchu, K vara maatengudhu da (my mind is ready to utter O. Something stops me from uttering K)’ “, he said. “Wow, really cute..!” I exclaimed.

“Few days passed by with both of us sharing some private moments. People used to leave us alone even when we are in the gang. When some other guys come to talk to her, I really get jealous and feel like giving him a kick. ‘Go away, she’s my girl’. She knew that I get possessive and started making me more possessive. Girls always like getting more love in the form of jealousy. That journey, between discovering your love and confessing it is the best part of any love story”

“That day, October 28^th, I badly wanted to propose her. Near physics laboratory, one of my friend got me a dirty flower from the vicinity to show my symbol of love. With bad vibes on seeing the flower I just passed it to my friends, ‘Let me propose without any flower’. That flower just got passed and passed and finally one more guy from my gang was about to give it to her. ‘Stop, moron’ I urged. She laughed. Possibly she understood what I was up for. We just started walking. Before she reached her hostel, I said, ‘I love you. I just can’t resist to face a life without you by my side’. ‘Just think about our background. Won’t studies get affected?’ she listed all such obvious excuses. ‘Sollu sollu, epdyu OK solliruva (Whatever be your reasons, I know you love me, I’ll wait for you to confirm it)’ said my insight. I started plucking flowers near her hostel. Remembrance to Varanam Aayiram is obvious to come..! Before she went inside her hostel, I made an official romantic proposal with my whole gang surrounding us. She just got the flowers and went inside the hostel. This was followed by Diwali weekend scenes. I kept on spamming her with ‘Enaku epo OK solluva’ text. The start of the next week, became the most beautiful day of my life. She tried to surprise me, in vain, The failed surprise became the success of my love. ‘Enaku epovo OK da (It’s a yes for me, long back)’, she said in the gallery, waiting for my arrival after the classes got over. The best dialogue ever”, he ended with a huge sigh. The couple blushed.

“Lots of silly cute fights, lots of care. A feel that somebody is always there to care for me, makes me overcome all my hurdles. Our parents have had love marriage, but both our families are against love. Whatsoever the future has for us, we are ready to face it together, simply to-get-her” he finished. “Wish you all good fortune”, I said.

“Love is when the other person’s happiness matters you much more than yours”. Had an oppourtunity to just watch it happening..! ‘Writing is just a blessing that you seek in very rare circumstances. Glad that I get one through this blog’
