“This came as a shock to me as I couldn’t have imagined her being so open, unlike what she was a couple of years ago (nervous and shy). Her old self wouldn’t even use the word ‘sex’ because she found it too strong and ‘bold’. Here, she was muttering all kinds of slangs, words, and lingos.

Manas kept telling Roli that he had met her many years ago, perhaps even before his marriage, and he liked her instantly. For some reason, things did not work out at the time, they never met after that. But her image and her face stuck in his mind like a poster, he could not forget her and let go.

So when he somehow landed up getting in touch with Roli again, he was very excited to see her. But Roli, on the other hand, did not remember any of this. In fact, according to her, they had only chatted but never met. Hence, while he had admittedly expressed this attraction towards Roli umpteen number of times, she had to politely refrain from giving in.

She just asked him to stay as friends till she recollected meeting him before. She also wanted to buy time to know him enough to date him. They both had developed an immense understanding for each other and they mutually kept their talks strictly restricted to Whatsapp/Facebook. Till one night Manas got a ping from Roli and the entire equation changed overnight.”
