Articles: Novels | Love You
- Mr. Varaprasada Rao Imandi

'You guys are so bad at reading a girl's mind.'
'You women are so good at keeping your thoughts a secret! Even Einstein couldn’t figure you out.'
'Einstein was a nerd. Casanova, on the other hand, understood us very well.'
'I love you.'
'I know.'
That moment, my dear friends, was magic. I looked into her eyes and took her hands in mine. Physical contact for us had been limited, until then, to a punch in the arm, a slap on the back of the head, or giving each other a 'high five'.
'You realize, don't you,' she said, 'that this is our first date?' Leave it to her to notice the little things.
'I really don't want to go.' I had always maintained that love is a bucketful of emotions. I was not exactly delighted to be proved right.
'Don't worry. I'm coming there in a couple of months.'
'How? On a dependent visa?'
She laughed. 'For that, I'll have to wait, won't I? I've got a project in New Jersey.'
I could not believe my ears. 'What? When did that happen? You never even told me!'
'Well, I wasn't sure you'd propose before you left. And I couldn't exactly sacrifice you to those New York women, could I? I had to watch out for myself. So I went on a project-hunting spree. There is an opportunity coming up for a project in about two months. Someone is coming back to India, so I will be taking his place. They want me there for a little less than two years.' She was beaming. 'I realized I had struck gold!'
'And if I'd not told you how I felt? When were you planning on telling me about it?'
'Around a month before I reached there. I had to make it look natural. Or you'd think I was desperate.'
'Well, you are desperate!' This was incredible. All I had done in the past month had been to mope around, listen to sad songs and write her letters that I never intended her to read. 'You've been scheming all this while! How come you didn't lay a trap for me a year ago?'
