In no time they formed a plan of action, figured out the exact locations from where the lights came and stormed into one of the apartments. They were met with an astonished young chap at the door, who was taken aback with this sudden intrusion in his house. They held him with his hands tied at his back, and demanded an explanation from him about the light flashing from his room. Was it some kind of signal he was giving out to his partners in crime?
“Oh that?! That was for my girl friend who lives across the road!” he exclaimed
“Oh yeah…you think we’re gonna buy that?!”
“We had a fight this evening. And she wasn’t answering my calls. So I flashed my night-lamp…just so that she notices that I was not getting sleep because I was upset for the tiff we had. We normally do that at nights to grab each other’s attention,” he tried explaining.
The constable found the story quite sketchy and dubious to believe. It was just not that simple. He had to get to the root of this matter. So next, they visited the building opposite with the young guy in tow to verify if what he was saying was really the truth. The door was answered after a long wait. She was scared of opening the door, but when she saw him from the peep-hole accompanied with police men, she panicked and opened the door. What could he have done?
When she was questioned, about the lights, she blushed and refused to answer. It was only when the constable pressed horrifying accusations on them about planning some kind of terrorist attacks that she blurted out in panic, “Oh but we were only making up! We fought this evening. But when I noticed that he was up and sleepless, flashing his night-lamp, I could see that he was missing me. So I replied back to indicate that I missed him too by flashing my night-lamp too. But he went on doing so. How could I not have responded to that?” she asked a tad innocently, looking into her beau’s eyes soulfully.
The constable had lost it completely by then. He shook his head in exasperation. Why the hell couldn’t they have just called each other or walked into each other’s houses?! What a waste of precious time! The policemen stormed out of the house in a huff leaving the modern day Romeo and Juliet to make up for whatever the flashing lights had not been able to make up for them.
hahaha love it! Love your unusual twists-and-turn-story Vinodini! 🙂 <3
Thank you Elly 🙂
Light hearted, pleasant read Vinodinii! Just one thing initially provoked me was the state of our armed forces, they still are given lathis in a zone sensitive of terrorist attack. Reminded me of the police constable in Mumbai.
Thanks Shweta. I agree, our policemen with lathis make no sense anymore with the complexity of crimes going up. That was a good point you observed. I should have given him at least a revolver 😉
Is this a true story? Love it.
Thanks Alyson. Good to see you here. No, its pure fiction.
Such a great story! Even your title was great!! Brilliant 😀
Thank you Fuchsia, I love the title too 🙂
Hahaha.. Poor policemen.
And this story cracked me up.
You write good.
🙂
Thanks Lancelot. Great to see you have a good laugh over this one.
Totally loove it..lovey dovey screws head of both cops and just imagine how terrible they must be feeling. Gripping narrative and simply brilliant..kahani mein twists:)
Thanks Vishal. I'm sure they must have felt stupid at the end of the whole drama.
Vinodini, I love your writing style. It's almost mysterious, I can never tell what is going to happen next! You have a great imagination!
Hey thanks Sophie! I love to keep my readers guessing 😉
Great to see you here after a long time.
Another wonderful story! Loved reading this 🙂
Thank you Reema 🙂
Indeed modern day R&J. What wud have happened ,if one of their night bulbs fused ? How wud the other have reacted. May be a sequel to this cute love story…
Hahaha Viyoma…I never thought of that! Would sure make for a great sequel. Thanks for the great idea.
Ha ha ha ha 😀 .. The flashing lights indeed. Takes me back to the 80's movies 🙂
Lol Vinay, now that you've pointed it out, it does sound like the 80s 😉
hahaha! Good one 🙂 Flashing lights… seriously! why couldn't they text or make up doing sth else.. 😀 I feel the constable. Good one!
Thanks Embark! You can expect anything under the sun when it comes to love-lorn couples 😉
he he he….. everything is fair in love…. poor policeman….. Liked the post Vinodini… 😀
Thanks Priyashi. Welcome to my blog.
haha..reminded me of a scene from the film Ek Duje ke Liye. Of course there were no mobile phones then 🙂
Oh yeah Uma, now that you tell me, I recollect seeing that scene. How strange it is that our mind unconsciously registers such things and it comes out in our writing without remembering where the source of inspiration came from 🙂
Hehe.. Lovely and cute. 🙂
Thanks Jyotsna 🙂
Ha ha…COOL ONE.LOVED IT
Thank you Prasanth 🙂
