The Reality show...

My heroine- Meera
My hero...Vinod....
Story is about....Reality about Reality shows....

Meera is a Software professional...Working in Bangalore city in a MNC earning good money...age 25...No boyfriends...but enjoys shopping and going out with friends..
A girl with passion and a vision to achieve in life.
She leads a very profound life with meaning.
Cooking is her passion.(recent one for that matter)
Coming back and preparing a meal for herself and calling her mum and dad and conversing with them about her day to day life.
And then one day...

She met him....she was walking on the street mentally checking whether she switched off her Gas cylinder and switched off her fan ...While thinking about this...
She met him..he was standing near the park under the big banyan tree standing and looking at her side..

Meera had a confusion.. is he looking at me..

And he kept staring at her...Good looking guy meera thought to herself...

In the meantime, her Xylo came to pick her up...she got into the cab and through the corner of her eye tried to look at him again. He was still standing in the same place..Staring at her...
She felt confused...Why this guy have to look at her like this?

As soon as she entered into office, she met samantha her closest friend and said hi..

Looking at her thinking something so deeply " hey girl what happened to you today"

"Nothing i met a guy today, on the way to office, he kept staring at me, just wondering...."
samantha gave a biggest sigh...." Oh meera, you are unbeleivable, this is not 1980's its 2011 for heaven sake and you sit and moan over a guy for just staring at you..for heaven sake, come back to reality"
"No samantha, there is something about this guy is impressive, i donno perhaps its his eyes...was very focused ..i dunno.. i liked him"
Now samantha got interested...."Hmmm So you like this guy..cool.."
Nothing like that...i just had a glance at him, i cant predict with one glance whether he is good or bad..
Yeah then the break time got over...We went to our seats...But i must say the eyes haunted me..
The next day i had an expectation i will meet him there and my heart was flip-floping whether i ll meet him or not...
He was there in the same place..with the same stare..as soon as she saw him..
He smiled...
She felt a jerk inside her heart. She is not sure whether he is smiling at her or someone else...
Hence without a backward glance today meera just passed the way.
And it had became a regular occurrence in meera's life.
His stares and her reactions to it....
God life is hell and heaven at the same time.
why doesn't he come and talk to me...Sometimes she wonder's to herself...
In the meantime, for her office friends this unknown guy became their sweet heart.
Oh everyday there will be talks about him which makes meera lose more patience.

"All right, If he doesnt talk to me in one month's time , i m going to talk to him and get to know what's going on in that cute head of his", Meera said with a force to all of them.

Suddenly there is a silence," Hey!!!! Thats cool, you really gonna talk to him??? hell thats great!!! But why should you do it after one month? Do it today ?!!

Meera shoke her with firmness," Girls, i m getting serious about knowing him, i dont know i m confused whether i m doing the right thing or wrong... god only knows whats going on in his mind, so let me check his patience.. will see in this one month, whether this is going to continue or he is going to go behind any other woman in few days!!!!

Samatha was shaking her head," hey come on, its almost one month since he started staring at you, i dont think he is going to get distracted by any means, but its upto to how you going to go ahead with this stuff. For pity's sake we can advise as friends, but final decision maker is you , ofcource"

For that meera replied with a grin," OFCOURCE"

So she started waiting patiently for her one month' deadline.
God always had something prepared for you, even we will never be ready to acknowledge it.
But within 2 weeks, things have changed....
One find day...
Its was a sunday..
Beautiful sunset time, meera didnt want to spend her time inside her home.
So she started her scooty and went to the beautiful park nearby.
And then she met him there.... the guy.... her unknown fella...
Oh my god..What the hell he is doing here on sunday.
She really couldnt react for the way she was reacting..
And then he came near her....
Oh god , let him not hear my heart pounding so fast.
Atlast he came near and said,"Hi"

Oh for this spectacular hi i had to wait 1 and half month...she thought to herself.

She really didnt have a clue how to react for this guy...

but she said," Hi".

"Ummm,, my name is vinod and....uhh i know u r meera"

Again she didnt have clue what to react to this guy. All she could think was ,My god he has got a sexy voice"

And u know i m follwing you for almost 1 month now....." He said with a grin.

All meera could think was how cute he looked with the flannel shirt and a jean.

Again," Oh"

But she was happy he didnt have some old god names. She was praying her husband name should be something with style not with old god names.

" I dont know whether to say this as this is our first conversation, but i really like you very much meera, even today i was standing here hoping you would go out somewhere, so i can see you?!!!!!!

"Oh" Meera...

"Are you going to speak to me anything other than Oh, because thats all i m hearing from your end for past 5 minutes we conversed"

Again hell she didnt know how to react , Sometimes honesty is the best policy.

"I serioiusly dont know what to tell you" Meera said with real shy..

God my mum has to see my face now, she would be very happy looking at my face, shying over a guy.

Meera remembered her mum once said that she doesnt know how to be shy, and asked her to behave like a girl"

So that thought meera a big smile in her face.

"Do you know people say everyone looks good when they smile, but you really look stunning when you smile" and he said those splendid lines with a curve of smile in his face.God she wants to touch the cute dimple which is popping out only when he smiled.

," you should smile a lot too...smile suits you" she said shyly.

And that minute it started the undying chemistry.
That desire to be with him and to make him her life.
To care about everything he does.

He told her, he is working in Media as project head. And he is part of one outdoor project hence he could spend more time with her".

So one day she asked," So why did you come and stand there near the banyan tree everyday"

For that he replied," i donno, i was waiting for the bus which is ten yards away from the banyan tree and i like girls wearing saree, so i saw you once with a saree and liked you"

She felt mildly disappointed in his answer,. but didnt say anything.
"Oh"
but looking at her face he added," Something about you that impressed me, i seriously dont know what was it and i definately dont want to do a post modem of the feelings i have of you"
But she couldnt bear ," so you have feelings right?!!

For that very curtly he said," I do "
But i thought you would be knowing my feelings by know as we are practically a couple for past one month"

For that , she was silent.

He turned and looked at her face.

"come on meera, dont be silent now when i expect you to speak, say something are you or are you not having feelings for me?????

" So you know me so well, not to know the answer you fool, ofcourse i love you, what you think, that i was time passing with you" Meera said with tears for a moment he was just staring at her face.

"Hey hey dont get too emotional, i never think about you that way..ok okay meera now come on chill..???
no more tears, so we celebrate this union by going to a movie and u can celebrate by giving me a kiss??
" A kiss ... forget it" ... Why just now you told you love me and you tell no kiss...

No No not acceptable" He said with a grin.

And for that celebration they went for a movie but as it was kind of first date there was no kiss.

And the next day, as soon as she went it , she saw samantha looking very busy on some document in her mail.

Meera asked with a smile," hey what are you looking at looking so serious.."

Samantha replied in a hushed tone," hey meera, you know right, our MD was on terms with a Media company and they have done some reality show based on our employees, so today will be the day it will come out , who is the bakra is? i m so curious meera?!!!

Hope its not me" she said in her usual screechy voice. Meera hardly gave importance to her speech.

"Hey come on forget our office work for sometime, i have something important to tell you" meera said with complete conspirational tone.

Even samantha was curious," Ok come to pantry, we will speak about our secret there"

Meera was filling her cup of coffee in that horrible coffee machine, samatha was wondering whats the news could be?

"Hey come on girl,come out... i m seriously losing my patience over you cool woman act"

Meera said with a grin ," I said okay to vinod yesterday"

Samantha was speechless.

"But meera you know him only for few months and you guys hardly spoke for few weeks, are you really sure is this the guy you want as your life partner?

Meera didnt know how to reply to her concerned friend. So she said," I am sure Sam, i felt it and he felt it too, he told me yesterday."

If you are sure then its okay meera, But think twice before you commit yourself as you have already committed, i dont have my say. But as your friend i find something fishy.
I have not met the guy,so i cant comment whether he is good or not.but be careful"

Meera was really touched by samantha's comment. " i will be careful sam, quit worrying and be happy girl" she didnt know who's happiness is in danger at that minute.

As soon as they both entered the floor, there was a huge crowd and there was a group of people standing in the stage.

Meera was fully occupied in her own thoughts to give importance to others.

But that shirt color got her, oh my god its Vinod"

What does he doing in a stage , at my company"

And the mike was with him. It was almost 700 poeple in the floor where meera works, and there was a popular channel was shooting what he was saying.

Suddenly sam turned and looked at her way.Everyone stopped speaking for a minute and started looking at both of them.

Meera was confused what is he doing here?

Is he here to meet me ?
They why does he is in the stage?

So many questions and unknown answers in her mind, she continued staring at her man in the stage.

Something inside her mind told samantha's words. Fishy, Fishy, Fishy.......

And he started speaking again,"There it is Miss Meera, My new fake lover..."

He said with a laugh,something inside meera's heart broken at that moment.

His speech continued. " So everyone here wondering whats going on.
Well, this was my target for last three months.
Our channel wanted to do a Reality show which is real and eye catch, and then we got the concept of The Indian woman feelings"

Hence we thought of taking a real woman or i should say a corporate woman for that matter, just we wanted to feel , whether they have any feelings,shyness, jealously and love towards a man".

So me and my business partner were standing in a signal when Miss Meera passed us with a laptop in her hand, quiet good looking. we thought of choosing her as our indian woman for feelings"

So here's the woman who was normal going to office and doing her job and
Here's the woman slowly falling in love and feeling shy towards the man she loves."

For this everyword they were showing meera's and vinod's if thats his real name" in the screen.

So the entire office had seen her humiliation.

And the worst part was, they asked meera to come on stage.

She didnt want to go... god she didnt want to go and see that horrible person's face again.

But she didnt want to lose more of her dignity and accepted his hand shake.

when one of their produces were in the mike, vinod came near to her and said,"
I m really sorry mam, but this is reality show and i m the producer here .
I assure you it wont happen again.
But i m really sorry if i have hurt your feelings" and thatsall....

He went.... They urged meera to speak of her experience.

What she will speak,"Her humiliation , her beautiful love towards a man was just a game for him"

She shook her head and came down.

And left the place and got into an auto rickshaw...

And tears, tears and tears...

God how could this possibly happen..

And she resigned her job from the company and there is no shortage of IT companies in india and got one more.

Only Samanta called sometimes to make sure that she is okay.

And she told samantha," I m very much okay,, new company, new work ...dont worry about me sam, i m fine"

Days passed.

3 months.

The most horrible days of my life," Thought meera.

She even shifted her house to someother place and gave the address only to samantha.
She didnt want any old connection spoiling her mood.

And then

One fine day....

Walking in a garden near by and enjoying the sound of kids in the park and feeding few birds.

She saw his again. he didnt see her.

So she thought ,' i should leave this place before he sees me, And when she was walking in the corner without creating much attention to herself. He saw her and came right infront of her"

She still dont know how to react as her feelings were true unlike him

She said ," Hello sir, how r u?"

For that he didnt reply..he kept looking at her...

So meera spoke again," Ok bye, i have to go"

He suddenly reacted,took her hands in his and said" Please dont go meera, "

Meera never got so angry in her life," Shit you are an asshole ,,,is this another of your play in your stupid damn reality television"

If you do one more thing like that again i will definately sue your and damned tv network"

She was speaking so fast, she couldnt breathe.

He was using full force to make her sit in the Park table and sat next to her.

He looked lean" she thought....

Oh my god me and my feelings never got over...god save me, i should say something rudely to him and leave this place and never see his face again.

That minute he started speaking.

" I love u meera, i love u ......i really do.. Yeah i agree its all started me being fake, But trust me when i said i love u. I felt it too.. Only that i was too arrogant to even take notice of my feelings.
when i was roaming with you to movies,,,u have seen the real man who was very happy being with his girl, please meera trust me. I was faking i agree.,,.But being with you changed me completely. I truly deeply in love with you. Marry you and have kids with you. Please dont stop me meera. And i know you love me too. I hope i had not killed the love you had towards me. please dont block me out of your life. I want to lead every second of my life with you, protecting you, humoring you, guiding you and let you do the same for me...

Please love me meera and marry me...."

Meera was so speechless," He had a doubt...Meera pls say yes"

Meera said " Yes! I love you you idiot and i ll definately will marry you.
Marrying me would be enough punishment for you as you dont need any other punishment" she said with tears, he suddenly bent and kissed her infront of all the crows and goose ducks.

Hope they enjoyed the kiss as meera and vinod did....

The End
