God proposes man disposes

Disclaimer : A totally fictional story with fictional characters. 

"Kudiakose, can you please come with me"

"No Krishi, I am busy...you see I am working on a critical project right now, so don't disturb me"

Krishi peeped into Kudiakose's laptop. Kudiakose's entire screen was filled with chat windows from Neena, Meena, Deena and Maina.

"Err which of these projects are critical", Krishi asked.

"Still deciding", Kudiakose replied, continuing with his multi-project management.

"Plz Kudiakose, I really need your help. It's a matter of life and death for me"

"What is it", Kudiakose asked, getting irritated. Kudiakose doesn't like being disturbed when he's busy with his projects.

"You see Kudiakose, one of my relatives have brought a proposal to my parents. Now my parents have asked me to go and meet this girl. I am feeling very nervous and I don't want to go alone. Can you please accompany me".

Kudiakose suddenly jumped from his seat.

"Did you say you are going to meet a girl", Kudiakose asked with his eyebrows raised and eyeballs almost popping out of the socket. "Why didn't you tell me this before Krishi. Come let's go and meet her. And don't be nervous, I am the there for the you".

"But if you are busy with your projects, then I can understand. I will go alone"

"What!!!..no no no....how can I leave you alone in such a dangerous situation. After all what are friends for. Just gimme a second, let me dress up and come".

After an hour or so Kudiakose came out of the dressing room. Krishi couldn't believe what he saw. Kudiakose was completely transformed. He was wearing a suit, a tie, formal pants, formal shoes fitted to perfection with ray-ban goggles and his face fully white washed with powder - somewhat similar to this  random picture of a dashing young guy that I found in the internet.

"Err Kudiakose hope you are aware that I am the one who is going to see the girl"

"I know I know. That is why I have worn a simple dress".

"This is simple dress?"

"You want it to be more simple?I can do that if you want"

"No no  no this is more than enough simplicity. Let's go"

After 20 minutes or so they reached a garden like place.

"Ok we have reached our destination", Krishi informed Kudiakose. Kudiakose looked around. All he could see was grass,plants, trees and some dogs.

"Where is your project...err I mean your girl???", Kudiakose asked.

"Look over there". Kudiakose looked at the direction pointed to by Krishi. He could see a boy and a girl standing at a distance.

"Who is this guy", Kudiakose asked

"No idea", Krishi replied

Krishi waved to her. Both the girl and the guy waved back and walked towards them.

"Hi you must be Krishi. Myself Madhuri and this is my brother Mahesh", the girl said shaking Krishi's hands. Then seeing Kudiakose, she asked Krishi "Err and this is?"

Even before Krishi could open his mouth, Kudiakose answered, "Manukkus...Kudiakose Manukkus"

"Hi, nice meeting you Mr Manukkus".

"Please call me Kukdi. Friends call me Kukdi only", Kudiakose replied, looking down, his face blushing and drawing God knows what, on the ground, using his feet.

Krishi was feeling very nervous. He didn't know how or what to talk to Madhuri. Madhuri was smiling at Krishi. Krishi, in turn, was looking at Kudiakose for some help. Kudiakose, meanwhile, was busy looking at Madhuri.

"So how was your day", Madhuri asked, trying to start a conversation with Krishi.

"Oh his day was good, how was yours", Kudiakose replied even before Krishi had a chance to reply.

"Err it was good", Madhuri replied, wondering why Kudiakose was answering instead of Krishi. "So Krishi, what are you currently doing"

"Talking to you of course...ha ha ha...what a joke what a joke", Kudiakose started laughing at his own "joke"

Madhuri gave a what-is-this-nutcase-doing-here look to Krishi. Krishi started sweating. The poor guy did not know what to do. Krishi wished someone could put him in a rocket and send him to a far off planet.

Krishi suddenly had a brilliant idea. He turned to Kudiakose

"Kudiakose, I think Madhuri's brother is standing alone, bored, without any company".

"Yeah, I totally forgot about him. Poor guy".

Krishi smiled. He could see that his plan was working. Atlast Krishi will be able to get rid of Kudiakose and have some moments alone with Madhuri.

Kudiakose turned to Mahesh.

"Mahesh, I think Krishi wants to talk to you". Then turning back to Madhuri, Kudiakose continued "So Madhuri, did I tell you about the time when Krishi unknowingly ventured into a ladies toilet. No? O god the story is so funny you have to listen to this. Last year when........"

Krishi meanwhile was banging his head on a nearby tree.

And thus goes the story of how Krishi met Madhuri. I guess the climax of this story is predictable, like any Bollywood movie. Both of them got married and have been living happily ever since :- Krishi with Radha and Madhuri with Ganesh. Last heard, Kudiakose is still busy with his projects.
