"Tell me one thing.... Can you fall in love with me ?", the Sweet voice milked on the other side of the Phone. Taken aback by this sudden question out of the blue, which was even though not entirely out of context, was really a difficult one to tackle.
But after a certain moment of hesitation, "Mmmm.... err.. Ah !! I think anyone can fall for you", Mr. A replied, diplomatically.
"Huh!! What a boring answer that was....", she sighed back. "If you would have asked the same question to me, I would have said, Yes"
"Ha ha.... Ok ! You know I was a bit circumspect but I too would have replied the same, but I held myself back, not exactly knowing why ?", Mr. A responded, trying to control the situation, albeit furtively.
"So you can fall in love with me ?", she quizzed. "Yes, I can", was the reply.
Taking this wonderful opportunity to get into Mr. A's mind, she finally asked, "So, Are you in Love with me ?"
Baffled by the question, the uneasiness at the moment was for anyone to spot in Mr. A's reaction. "So long", he thought to himself, "for so long I have wanted to respond to that question, didn't know that it would be this difficult to actually say it in words". At this moment, scores of thoughts sped past his mind. Riddled with 'What ifs', perhaps he was getting to know the reason behind the 'Why' in the "...not exactly knowing Why ?".
Taking a stealthy glance at the other cell-phone, he looked at the time. 2:25 AM it was....
