“We are going to Kathmandu street festival today. I would like you to join us as well.” Prismith starts writing a message to Lisa at about 1 p.m.
“Let’s go to the festival together.” He adds.
“No, No something’s missing, What should I write! What should I write! How should I ask her to come with me??”
“Should I add honey to it.”
” Let’s go the Kathmandu street festival today, honey.” “Hmm it sounds better.”
“Or should I write; The Kathmandu street festival is waiting for us darling. Let’s go together today.okay??” Hehe.
He smiles at himself shyingly.” Should I send the message like this? Oh! I would love to but I guess it’s too early to say that.”
Prismith had been struggling to write a message to Lisa to ask her out for attending a popular annual street festival in Kathmandu. He had tried to tell her this thing in the morning when they met in the park, but he couldn’t do so face to face. So, he has been trying to take the help of messaging service.
The Kathmandu Street Festival is one of the well-liked street festivals in Nepal. The major attractions of this festival include live performances, vendor stalls, foods, cultural demonstrations, walking tours around the monasteries and temples, and many more.
“I guess Lisu would be better for now.” He says to himself.
Thus, he ends up writing “Amosh, Christina and me, we are going to the Kathmandu street festival today. I want you to be there with me as well Lisu. You will come nah.”
“But Prismith how can I come? It will be very difficult for me to get permission from my mom.”
“Shall I talk to your mom for her permission then.”
“No, you can’t do that. She is so strict about these things you know. If she finds out about our relationship, I don’t know what might happen to us.”
“Hmm what will she do huh that you are so much scared? But I guess after seeing this innocent boy, she will just say “I was searching for son in law like you. I guess Lord has heard my prayers. Just go forward and take Lisa away with you.””
“Hmm what will she do huh that you are so much scared? But I guess after seeing this innocent boy, she will just say “I was searching for son in law like you. I guess Lord has heard my prayers. Just go forward and take Lisa away with you.””
“Haha what a joke. She might go to the kitchen to get a broomstick after she sees you with me and hears about our relationship. Besides there will be Amosh and Christina as well, isn’t it? It will be really an awkward situation for me to face them.”
“Don’t worry about them. They don’t bite, you know. Besides, I have an idea to handle them.”
“But also, Prismith, it will really be difficult for me to come.”
The conversation continued for some time and at last Prismith in a serious tone said, “I know you might be in difficult situation, but do try to come. I have always wanted to go to this street festival with you. I will be waiting for you near your house at 5 p.m. I know you would come.” Then he leaves his phone on the table and goes to take shower. He didn’t check the phone for her message as well. Maybe he didn’t want to hear any excuses and “no” from her.
He had already chosen the dress he would wear for the day. He recently had bought Lee Jeans’ pant and Wrangler’s maroon colored shirt. Also, he had the Kabold watch which he received as a gift from his uncle for passing the SEE, kept untouched just to wear for this day.
However, after some time, he gets the message from her saying she won’t be coming as her mom didn’t give her permission. He just ignores the message and smiles as he had a feeling that she would come.
Lisa came to the mentioned place exactly at 5 pm. Just like in the movies, she had wanted to give surprise to Prismith with her presence. Not only surprise, she had wished to give him a back-hug surprise. But not finding him there, she felt bad for not telling him that she would join him. She thought he might have become angry at her for not nodding to his offer. “He didn’t even respond to my last message. Did he already leave for the festival or what?” she says to herself.
She takes out phone from her bag and dialed his number. But she heard the phone ringing nearby. She turns back to find Prismith looking at her with a happy face. He had been looking at her from a little distance behind since her arrival. Being entangled in the situation like this again, she recalls the day when she was proposed, and gives a beautiful smile at him.
“Why didn’t you call me? How long were you here?” She says.
“It’s been 5 minutes 49 seconds exactly since you came here and I came here 5 minutes before you.” He sees his watch and responds. “I didn’t call you because I wanted to see how you would look when you wait for me.”
“Oh I see. So, how do I look huh waiting for you?”
“Totally sexy.” He responds in an instant.
She feels shy hearing those words and turns red.
“Ahm! it is really hot today nah.” She tries to change the topic.
“Yeah it really is. I might be because of my hotness. How can I be so hot?” He tries to make her smile and comfort her. She does smile, but becomes more red.
“Why did you wait for me when you got the message that I won’t be coming?”
“I knew you would come, and now you are with me.” “But how did you come here? You told me it would be difficult for you to come and your mom is strict.” He continues.
“What do you think Mister. Only you know how to lie or what.”
“You mean you lied your mother?” He asks in surprise.
“No. I lied you. Hehe. I lied you. Because I wanted to surprise you with my presence.”
“Wow You are really dangerous Lisa.”
“Anyway, where are Amosh and Christina? You had told me that we would be going together at 5 pm. But its already 5:30 now.”
“Actually, the plan was to meet at 6:30 p.m. I just wanted to spend more time alone with you. That’s why I called you earlier.” He winks at her.
