A note of thanks
Now that I have completed this book, which is only a short while away
from getting published and coming out in print. It is important to tell
you that why I am writing this book and who is the one to whom I
would love to dedicate this book. I never thought I could write a book
ever in my life . but sometimes you go through such an amazing
journey which you would always want to share it with everyone . so the
same I am doing . I had been through such a phase of the lie which I
would wish that no one ever faces the same . . there are so many
messages which can b learnt rom the book . but. That youll get to
know when youll start reading the novel.
There have been some people who helped me a lot in making this book
get complete . my family always supported me in whatever decision I
took in my life . .i know my parents wont ever like to read a love story
but they promised me that they are gonna read my book. there have
been some closed one also who helped me a lot. few of them are rachit
mehrotra who is my best friend and without whom I would have never
fell in love . the reason youll get to know by reading further. chahat
who is the main character of the book. Supriya who helped me
everytime I was in trouble. So a big dedication goes to her .she always
asked me that m I going to b in your book . so I cant afford not
writing her name . she has always been such a darling friend of mine .
Thakns to nidhi Bhatia, subrata chakraborty, vishal bansal, avrohit,and
many more who believed in me that I can write a book. Thanks for
motivating me guys

varun abbott , my another very good friend , who gave me some good
reasons to write a book.
When I decided to write this one. Everyone was shocked that m I
seriously going to write a book.but to my luckiest.. they all got
convinced .thanks to them .it would have never got completed. Thanks
to my college or giving me some free time so that I could write a novel.
This novel is highly dedicated to my girlfriend chahat who is not with
me now .but I still remember every moment I spent with her. I just wish
wherever she is. she is happy and atleast remembers me
This time of writing a book had been sometimes very tough because its
worst trying to forget someone and writing a book about her at the
same time.. sweet life !!

The first interaction

The story starts from the year 2009
It was a time when I was pursuing my graduation from
Kanpur university and was also working in airtel company as
a sales executive . in my college it wasnt necessary to go
regular for the classes even when it waz a regular course.
So for time pass me and rachit mehrotra who is my friend
since I was in class 11. He is a friend whom I can rely upon .
and caring and supportive as well he was the one who
unknowingly made me meet my dream girl .
I just finished my first year of b.com and usual in graduation
you dont need to study too much still you can pass by some
good percentage. So I was very much bored of my life that

time as their was nothing to do as such whole day.

So on 24th of june 2009 at around 8pm when v were back to
home from my job .
RACHIT came to my home and we just started talking about
girls . of course then the questions started about each
others girlfriends . we both were single at that time ..so
obviously we wanted someone in our life . we wanted to fall
in love actually.
From the list of our tele caller of the office he got a number
of a girl and gave me that night to message on her number
or call her and try to friendship with her. Firstly I denied that
offer . but then I thought that I have never tried these type
of things so I should do this to check if I get success in
making this girl my friend or not . so I took the number of
that girl and at around 10 pm I sended a first message to her

hi ! I got to know that u r a wonderful

Girl to be with and a very nice girl as well.
So will u be my friend
After 15 minutes I got a replyhey !! whoz dat ??
I replied
m swapnil and want to b your friend
I was just having fun and never knew dis girl is gonna
change my life forever .there waz a bet between me and
rachit if I can woo this girl or not. So I was taking it as a joke
only .
Anyway then I got a reply sayingplease dont msg me .
I dont know u , dnt msg or else ull be in a problem
Then after reading this I thought Ill lose my bet . but I still
kept on trying .
I sended few more messages asking her to be my friend . .
but she didnt responded . after almost an hour, I got a sms
saying-

 wat the hell u think of urself, dont u ever message me.

Get lost and go do it to ur sisters and all .
These lines made me angry and I also said so many things
which I shouldnt .
And then v both stopped messaging each other . but at night
when I was trying to sleep, I thought about the girl .. the way
she was talking was so rude . well i slept then thinking that
I lost the bet with rachit.
AND THIS WAS HOW I MET MY LOVE FOR THE FIRST TIME.
AND ONE CAN EASILY SAY, THIS STARTING CAN NEVER LEAD
TO EVEN A FRIENDSHIP.

Are we friends ?
So as I . I believed that m nt gonna get dis girl.
I didnt messaged her 2 3 days , then on 27th june at around
11.30pm in the night , I got a message on my cell
hi ! m sry I shudnt takd to u lyk dat day,
But u cn understand bein a girl I got worried.
Please forgive me . I cnt sleep wen I do sumthng wrng to ny1
n dont apologise for that .
After reading this message , I dont know why but a smile
came on my face ..and I thought that now I think this girl can
b my friend . I didnt knew when I forgot the bet .i just
wanted to talk to her for my own satisfaction. Then I also
said sorry to her in the reply to her apologising msg and she
forgave me. But still we didnt became friends. She stated
asking me how I got her number nd y I want to b her frnd .
as I dnt even hv seen her ever.
I was nt having a single word to say to her . so I just changed
the topic and again asked her to accept my friendship
proposal. But she didnt .
We talked for atleast an hour on this topic but still she didnt
told me about her anything. I asked her if she also wants to
be my friend . sher didnt said anything. Then after
sometime I got a message from her

okk. Mr. unknown . letz c who asks for friendship first .and I
know
U will only ask for it. Gudnyt stdrmz tc n sry again
I wished her gudnyt too n slept. After 3 dayz when her msg
didnt came, I messaged her n asked fr d friendship
again..den she finally accepted my friendship proposal n dat
day I called her for the first time.
The bell ranged fr few seconds n den she picked it up.
hello??
Hie. Itz me. Swapnil.i said.
Hie. Howz u ??
M fine. U say.
Den I asked about her n she told me this.
my name is priyanka Sharma and i live near gurudev palace
in vikas nagar . m doin my m.com from Kanpur university.
On the question of her, I also told her about me and i should
tell u , that her voice was so sweet that I fell in luv wid her
voice only.then she told me the real secret .the day I msgd
her for the first time was her birthday and she was in
lucknow, not in Kanpur.. thats why she couldnt talk properly
. and the people in her home was doubting on her on my so
many calls and messaged .
Then her mother called her up for some work so after talking
for some more time. she cut the call.we wished each other
gudnyt before disconnecting the call. I was really shocked
and surprised after hearing from her that it was her birthday
when I messaged her for the very first time. i was so happy
to know that v met each other on such special occasion ..
In a month v became gud friends and started talking on a
daily basis now.But still v didnt knew nything about each
other looks.now, v used to talk almost every night before v
go to sleep. I started liking talking to her.
On the day she approved my friendship, she told me that dis
relation wont go beyond a normal friendship.
One day I called her and she told me the another shocking
story-

Hi priyanka !! I said.
Hi swapnil. howz u ?
M fine .how r u ? I missed u dear . I said expecting a same
reply from her n got that too .
M gud nd I missed u too swap. (she used to call me swap n I
also gave her a new name chahat )
While v were talking generally, somehow the topic started
about each others friends .
I had a gud friend named chitranshu from my school days
who died in an accident a year later , so I told her about
chitranshu and fortunately nd surprisingly chitranshu came
out to be chahats friend also .
She told me about her friendship with chitranshu .
I liked chitranshu very much ..he was my very good friend ,
she said happily.
N my possessive nature started showing its effect there
only .
I asked if he was her boyfriend so she denied and made me
smile.
And the talks continued and v slept that nite at 4am after
talking so much.

The birthday gift

v had completed three months of our friendship till now and
became a very close friends now . but still one thing
remained the same . v still havent seen each other . I was
hoping to meet her on my birthday on 12th of october but

never knew dis bday is gonna give me a real shocking gift .

nyway I waited for my birthday to come . and on 12 th of
October at 12.00 am I got her call .
hello ??
hello chahat .. !!
happy birthday dear. Have a great day ahead n njoy a
lot.god bless u . she said to me.
Thanx so much dear .i said
I was very happy to get the first wish on my birthday from
her .
N that midnight after cutting her call , I realised that I really
started liking her, the way she use to talk to me , the way
she is . . I started missing her when I dnt get to talk to her .
but then I thought I dnt have even seen her till now . how
can I like a girl like this. But my heaet told me , u like
chahat .okk !!
Anyway I woke up in the morning with the wishes of my
friends and family . and ofcourse with another call from my
dearest friend chahat .
I asked for my birthday gift from her but she said - youll
get a birthday gift tomorrow on your mail id . I said okk
but what it is ??
So she said . there is something I want to tell you . Please
go through your mail swap.
I said ok . but arent we meeting today on my birthday . ??
no she said confidently .
I got upset but became fine in sumtym coz I had to think wat
m goin to get in d mail tomorrow .
A proposal, a picture of her, a letter of finishing of our
friendship or what .?????
She left me confused all the day .
In evening I went out with my friends rachit and varun for a
birthday party. Varun is also my one of the bestest friend
from school since I was in class 5th. V wer vry close to each
other obviously because v knew each other from so many

years. I had a great evening with them

. I came back home at 11pm that nite after celebrating my
birthday . and as soon as I got into my bed for sleep . I
called my sweet friend chahat(priyanka) .
I asked her to give me a hint what gift shes going to give me
tomorrow as whole day I thought of this only . even at my
birthday party .
But as usual itz a girls nature that whenever u ask them a
serious question like what surprise you are goin to give .
they deny to tel..
So the same she did .
The next day on 13th of October at 6 pm I opened my mail
and got the following mail
CHAHAT LAKHTAKIA chahat_resistence@yahoo.co.in
10/13/09
hiii , hope so u r fine...
There is a request frm u plz whatever m goin to tel u today,
read it from a cool mind. whatever i felt i wrote it without
even looking again at what i was writing. i knw after readng
all this u wll nt b in a gud mood may be u wll nt forgive me
or our relation wll nt b same as now or it wll b end....& sorry
for telling u all this whn u had a great day on ur bday..
As i told u earlier that when u started messaging me from
unknown number. that time I was getting calls and message
frm so many other nos also so I was vry disturbed at dat
tym...firstly i thought dat my frnds r doing same thing which
i did to them just to have fun.but when it didnt stopped i
seriously asked them bt they said they r not doing all this..
most of the nos were in series looks like dat same person
was doing that. at that time i was in lucknow in one of my
relatives house. everyone over there used to say ki "u get
so many calls and messages from so many people and all
that "which i didnt liked..
In starting when u used to message me n I said I can get all
your details .yes i can do that bt thought that deres no

neeed to do dese things .after one time ull on ur own stop

messaging me wen Ill not reply to ur messages then i did
that only sometimes switched off keeps mob on silent
...aftersome time when i started ignoring ur one no. u
started sms from another one. i was having doubt may be
same person is doing all dis .. and i replied u whn was having
my interview thats in july dat plz dont disturb me i dnt
wanna frndshp all that in a very bad way . then u also said
me so many things ..at that time i realized dat both
numbers person is same as way of talking was same. the
way i talked to u the first time was bad and felt guilty so
started talking.
I thought letz talk to dis guy for sometime nd after
sumtym vl ask u nt to dnt do all this .and at that time i was
alone also as all my frnds were going out for their higher
studies.but I didnt kew when I started liking u and started
talking to u everyday , everynite. N cudnt ask u to finish our
friendship after seein ur such a cery nyc caring nature .i
didnt trust u totallydatz y didnt tel u nythng bcoz starting
me u said dat u live in iit bt one cant liv in iit like dat
nly....but when I talked to u first time i came to know ki u r
chitranshus.frnd so thought u must be in his frnd list on
orkut and found u. after that u told me everything alright
..after dat i tried many times to tell u truth about me but u r
so sweet nd caring dat I never gather the courage to hurt u
so dint told u d truth.
U remember one day u said u like me i was shocked dat how
can u like a girl whom u dnt know properly and have never
even seen ....
in life many people broke my trust so dont want anyone to
come near me..they broke my trust too much in friendship
specially..so now I dont do much frndship n if I do den I dnt
trust dat person...i always kept my frnds first priority bt now
no more.
i m not strong hearted which i used to say. my frnds and me
also think me very emotional and sensitive type person.if
one know me which is very rarely i m gud in nature and
emotional too which i dont want to show anyone.. being

ignorant ,aggresive, showing too much attitude ,talking

rudely to people , by dis people stay away from me so I took
dis attitude.
now cant say any more lie its high time now.m fed up of
feeling guilty now. I think everyday to tell u but couldnt n
time passed on..i know if i wont be telling u , u will not know
abt who m i..i too dont like lies and told u wrong abt me
everytym..but today me not lieing anything everything is
truth.
my name is not Priyanka.. i dnt live in Swaroop Nagar..my
bday is not in may or march..this yahoo id is not of my
frnd...these things i lied u.
my name is Chahat which is written in yahoo id.. nick name
Sonam.. lives near Gurudev palace..bday is on 24 JUNE m
doing M.com with bank preparation ..
I was not having any affair with anyone bcoz i always denied
every proposal I got..and whats love i dont know..chitranshu
and one of my niit frnd were my very good friend and deyll
always be. With dem I used to talk so much by msg or calls.
they were my gud frnds, everyone used to think we were
more then frnds bt it was nothing lyk dat , we just cared a lot
for each other n i do even now also.anddis thing chitranshu
also knew.
sorry for everything which i did wrong to u i know sorry is
not enough for what i did..i cant expect forgiveness also from
u as the thing is not so easy i broke ur trust..i leave totally on
u what should be my punishment what u want now i will
accept it ...
never said u but the fact is i miss u too when dont talk to u
bahut .ur typ of caring nd loving persons are not found
easily.
wish u all the best for ur life and take care will be missing u
and wlll remember u forever if u left me.

SORRYYYYYYYY :(
After I read this mail, I was shocked that how could she lie
with me . and why she lied to me about her real name,
address and even about her birthday,
What was going on ? Is this the birthday gift she wanted to
gift me .?
I just ran through the mail again and the only thing which I
could think at that time was I was with the wrong person till
now I wanted to b angry at her but couldnt get because
she had been an important girl of my life till now .
I didnt replied to her mail, I was so shocked and upset from
her and that was the most important gift of my birthday no
doubt.
At night when I couldnt think anything except that mail from
priyanka (chahat),I was thinking about the reason why she
might have done this thing to me.
So I started thinking from my mind rather than from my
heart.
being a girl, she might be afraid of telling about her real
identity to an unknown person when this thought came in to
my mind, my anger just flew away , I couldnt get angry with
her anymore. I wanted to be with her so much that I cant
think about being away from her so I forgave her about
the thing she did to me ..
I was rather happy that atleast she told me truth at last , at
the right time when we started getting closer day by day n I
should understand her feelings . so I did that and I was no
more angry at her, rather I became close with her more after
that day .
But one line in the mail was still in my mind and I was
reading that line again and again that she started missing
me when I was not with her. Did she strated having feelings
for me ,,well, I had no idea .
I just remembered our promise that v wont go beyond
friendship ever even if v start feeling something for each
other.

Well, I called her next day and I cleared everything about the
whole matter . she again said sorry and I forgave ger,, we
again started talking happily and our friendship started
getting more close with the end of everyday.
But 1 thing shoulb taken into consideration that .. v didnt c
each other till now . and this thought didnt came up in the
mind of me or chahat.
