It's been almost a week since we started chatting through text messages. Slowly, I had started liking her. I started waiting for her messages and if due to any problem she didn't reply or didn't message, I felt restless. I liked every letter she wrote. She had a good writing sense. I liked every word she wrote. She used to mix humor and emotions in her words very well. She showed care for me. Have I eaten any thing or not? How I am? If I am not well then have I took the medicine or not? She used to ask me such questions. She used to force me to do these things if I have not done. Even she had started forcing me to the study well.
"It's been a long time we are texting each other. And believe me, I love our conversation every time. But now, I want to hear you. I want to hear your voice." I sent this text message one good night. Though, I wanted to see her and meet her too. But couldn't ask for that. She didn't reply. I waited and waited for next few minutes. But she just didn't. Did I do any mistake asking for a voice call? Was I too early asking for it? These questions started bothering me suddenly. I started cursing myself for sending the message. But then, I was not too unlucky, I guess. Suddenly my phone started ringing and a smile ran over my lips unknowingly when I saw the flashing number on the screen. It was Palak's.
"Hi..." I waited for sometime and then recieved the call. I don't know why, but my heart started beating at an enormous speed when I received the call. And I started feeling nervous a little.
"So..." I heard. And believe me, you could have fallen in love with that voice. Such a beautiful voice she had. It felt like, someone had poured a lot of sweets in my ears. Too soft and musical voice she had. Yes, I was no different. I too felt like falling for that voice. I too wanted to hear it more. Again and again.
"So what..?" I said presently.
"Had your dinner?" She asked. I wondered, why she asked the question when I just had messaged her that I did my dinner.
"Yes, And you?" Still I answered her question. I was like running out of words. No questions were coming into my mind. No topics to discuss. But I wanted to hear her more and more.
"Me too. Okay bye. Talk to you later." suddenly she said and ended the call before I could say anything else. I wondered, why? I felt a little disappointed. Anyway, I wanted to hear her voice and I did hear it.
The first voice talk contained nothing. It was too short a call. But still it was special. It was so special that still I remember every bit of it. Wait. I recalled the sweetness of her voice and suddenly clicked something inside my so called unconscious mind. I have had heard the voice before, I thought. Where? I didn't remember. I thought but it didn't clicked again.
"Thanks. Your voice is too sweet." I texted her. And soon a message from her flashed on my cell screen, as she was just waiting for my text to arrive. She thanked me for the complement. And the text chat went for another half an hour before we got off to sleep.
Now, again few changes occurred in my life. Again I had started maintaining distances from my friends. Again I had cut myself from my social life. Me and my cell phone were the best buddies now. Every time I used to stick my eyes to my cell phone and text Palak. We called each other sometimes but still, voice calls used to be very short. We preferred to text each other.
Something was happening to me. Something very unusual. Now I was a little more conscious about my looks while going out. I was more careful while talking to that girl. I was much more careful in choosing my words while typing a message to her. I don't know what it was, but I was liking it for sure. Strange kind of feeling it was.
