Overleaped Instance (Re-post)

Re-posting this one of my favorite one....did not alter any as i dont wat to mess up with the originality

"Its dinner time!!pls pls...and today they serve dosa in mess..i wont get anything if i go late.." she said
"Dosa ..dosa..eppo pathulum..u always think about food..seri ok..i will also go home and will be back in 45 mins finishing my dinner"

It was 7:15 PM when me and Priya left the lab for dinner.We were preparing for an upcoming Microprocessor practical examination.

She went to college hostel mess for her dinner.I took my BSA photon which was with me for more than 4 yrs from school days.

My house is at 12 mins pedaling from college.

Crossed the Grand Southern Trunck road pedaled slowly as i came across the residential area.
Everyhouse was lighted with beautiful small lamps. And glittering.
"Iniki karthika Deepam(Festival of lights)" cha i almost forgot.

Pedaled home and found my house lit with lamps.
"Wow what a pleasant sight to see.Eased out all the academic tensions i had in me".

A gentle cold wind blowed.That light breeze made the flames of all the lamps to incline 45 degress.

Felt good.

Had a good dinner with all the special traditional dishes they make for such festives.
My sister came "anna ..enn late da" and she was holding the silver plate with lamps on it.
She was dressed awesome " Hey you look great di"
I could see her bliss.Few relatives arrived and the festive moment was prevailing.

Pedaled back to college.Went to the lab found that it was all deserted.No one was there.
I was amazed.Came out and sat on the bench.

College road was empty.Looked at a distance and called him..
"dai senthil..where is everyone".
"Machi all of them went to KK da".(KK is short form of the nearby temple).
I asked "Where is priya".
He replied "i suppose she also went to the temple" .

I was waiting there.

Vijay and Kartheek emerged from the dark.
Vijay said "Dai machi what are u doing here when whole college is there at KK"
I said "Illa..hmm"
Kartheek interrupted "Dai your batch mate was looking gorgeous da"
Vijay "Ya she was wearing half saree..and she is looking beautiful"
He continued "Wait here only she will be on her way ..you can see" and they left the place.

Waited there.i had never seen her in half saree.All my cereberal processor cycle time was used to graphically built her image in that dress.

Was waiting for a her staring at the road.Lot of people came but not her.
"Raj.." I heard her but from the opposite direction of the road.Looked back.

Disappointment.

She was wearing the same Salwar as she in the evening.
"When did u come da.sorry da.Every one compelled me for the temple so only i went there,are u waiting for so long.Ok come we need to complete 4 more experiments"

"Haan ilaa illa..everyone told you where wearing half saree...Is it"

I later realised that i had asked this abruptly to her.This made her to display all the worlds girlish shy blush rosiness.
She never spoke a word for few mins.
I added "Y did you change the dress.I was waiting to see u in that."

"Hmm..antha dresses are only for spcl occasions.i cant wear it all the time.."
I was disappointed again.

She said 'But i was looking around for you in the temple.Thought you would come there"
That moment i felt i was at the kernel of niagra.

The later days when she became mine it was so eventfull and occupying between us that i forgot this incident and the dress.
And also don't know why i did'nt ask her to wear that for me.
Some 5 to 6 Karthika deepams have passed after that.But till now i havent seen her in that dress.

Now also at times I dream My girl wearing the traditional tamil dress.
You know i conceive that Dreams are, by definition, cursed with short life spans, coz they sooner turn into Reality.
