Men I say !!

Well, here I go. This girl who is happy go lucky, take it easy, totally fun to be with, straight forward, always laughing and making people laugh, lil short tempered and sensitive girl. Lets call her hmmm.. Ria ? RIA !! She can never put up with anyone's nonsense, more often mistaken to be a snob or attitude but trust me she is so crazy and bindaas sometimes you wish you could be like her. Being brought up as the only child in her family, she is pampered and spoilt rather given what she wants even before she asks for it. But, having all this she is so down to earth and friendly. She is so friendly that often mistaken that she is a flirt. HELL NO, She is not !! Okay.. Now thats too much bout her.

The second person is this guy called Kevin. Very funny, hilarious but so unpredictable at times that you never know when he gets ripped, he tends to irritate people at times with his temper. But, come on what are human beings without flaws ? Someone who loved this girl in his life so much that he actually gave up his career to marry her until her Dad ditched their relationship, he is still not out of it even after three yrs. For what a successful man he is today, all the credit goes to his Uncle. Guy in his mid 20s working and earning really well. A very good decent guy, who puts up his price unnecesarily only with Ria.

Now lets see how these two people meet. One night, on the social network site Ria sees a friend request from Kevin who had actually drunk sent the request. She actually ignores any unknown people sending her request, but God knows what got through her head she didn't accept it but had a general conversation with him. Initially both of them were snobbing eachother royaly. Two weeks went by, Kevin gave his number and asked her to contact her. Ria tried to by heart and failed, went off on a documentary shooting to a village that was like 1200 miles away from home.She came back and decided to ask the number, when she did this time she had misplaced it. Atlast both got along on chat and IMs and text messages.

Three months went by, they decided to meet. When they did, he was the most restless person on earth. He wouldn't sit at one place, dropped his phone five times (minimum). Ria thought when she left, that this was probably the first and the last time she met him, for the guy was not at all the way she expected him to be.

They were in touch though, one fine day Kevin called up and asked her out for a drink. Since she had nothing much to do that night, both decided to go out for a drink. She was such a fussy  pot, God knows why she behaved that night. May be she didn't want to meet him again. After two months, they decide to party again and this time she decided to be nice to him, the funniest part was she used to like this guy who was a family friend. She kept annoying Kevin by texting that guy while dancing with Kevin on the dance floor. They had a fun night. They loved eachother's company so much that they started going out every weekend. Kevin was so comfortable with her company, that even if he had his office colleagues over he used to take her along since Ria was so friendly.

Months passed by, became a regulation that they used to meet up once a week for a night out or dinner. Ria didn't realize she was in love with him but actually enjoyed the company. Every bit of it. Kevin's Uncle who is his mentor had come down for a vacation and Kevin wanted him to meet Ria. Ria was all excited because none of her friends had given so much importance. Well, meeting parents and bumping into them is different but why the US Uncle ?? Just the day before they were catching up for dinner, Ria's friend decided to give a new hair do for her. Her drunk friend cut her fringe off so short that Ria was having a bad hair day and had to spend 20$ on a hair cut just to look presentable. Worst was that our madam who is always punctual ended up being late by half an hour. She didn't know why was  she doing all this, someone who is so happy go lucky and not bothered actually is all worked out because she was not at her best. Eventhough, they had a short one hour dinner, Ria was so excited that she met Kevin's Uncle. He best friend had accompanied her for the dinner.

Days go by, Ria is busy with her own work until one day she realized that she was in love with Kevin. She didn't know how Kevin was going to react if he knew this, or rather was wondering if this guy was in love with her. Kevin is someone who shows out his anger to Ria and she is totallt cool with it because she understands the work pressure he is going through. She doesn't even complaint if he doesn't get back to her calls or forgets to inform her.Kevin is such a tubelight that he fails to understand what Ria feels for him. Until one day Ria had all the courage and told Kevin that she liked him and shewas madly in love with him. Kevin was so surprised. He didn't know how to react to her. He said " I don't know what to tell, I think you should move on with your life" Ria was devastated because he is the first guy she has expressed, being spoilt expects things to always go her way. She asked him back " Why? Is there anything wrong with me? " He just said " Nothing wrong. Its not like I am not interested but just that I not in for a commitment" 

The usual answer any guy in his mid 20s with a good career would say. I am not in for a commitment. Initially Ria didn't know the reason. She decided to move away from him, slowly.
Kevin was irritating her to the core. He used to scream at her if he had some tension at work. Treat her like some person whom he was not bothered bout. Ria poor thing was putting up with all this and was being very nice to him even when he was at his worst mood. All the anger, all the frustration from work and home, Kevin was throwing it on Ria. At times when she was in her peppy mood and was cracking up some joke with him, he used to ask her to take a hike, but still Ria didn't mind bout it and was understanding. He has never been like that with any of his friends. She was very friend with one of Kevin's school mate, contacting him and asking bout Kevin he was surprised to see such a reaction from Kevin over Ria. Everybody were confused of why Kevin was behaving like this.
