When Dipika replied, they chatted on general topics first.
Eventually, she told him that whenever she visited his house in his absence and overheard his parents' talks about a possible marriage between her and him, she felt happy and became excited because she was impressed by his personality and character. She was impressed by the struggle he did to study in adverse circumstances during his school and college days. He was sincere and honest. Hardworking and obedient.
Both had borrowed some time from their respective parents to confirm their final yes. They required this time to get to know each other better.
Later with many successive phone calls and chats, both realized that they had many things in common. For example, both liked to play with kids since their childhood. They used to bring neighbors’ kids home and play with them and spend a good amount of time with them. Both were experts in handling crying babies. They could easily stop a baby from unnecessary crying and make them giggle. It always gave them an immense sense of joy and satisfaction.
Both were fond of watching cricket and movies. Of course, there was a bit of mismatch when it came to the food, they liked but still, the saving grace was that whatever food items he liked, she was an expert in cooking those also.
Meanwhile, they met twice personally in Pune and watched movies together and spent some time together in different gardens.
One day, both got to know that 29 out of 36 points were matching in their Kundlis.
Further, Dipesh initiated a conversation in chat regarding one more important topic which was bothering him since long.
"Hi, Dipika how are you?"
"Hey, dear, I am good, tell me. How is it going for you?'
"I am fine Dipika. So, what have you thought about your career?'
"Career? I am not particular about it."
"Means what? Don't you have any vision in mind about your career as I have?"
"Okay, before I can tell you, can I know what vision do you have? Don't get embarrassed, I just want to know from you first. You are so talented, educated, studious, and in the science stream whereas I am an art student!"
"Since my school days, I was clear about my career. I wanted to get a job in the IT service industry, and I got it. It was my dream and I fulfilled it."
"I respect and adore you for that. Very few can chase their dreams till they come true!"
"Thanks for the compliment! Now my next challenge will be to survive in this industry for a long time."
"You will survive, I know! You are capable of it. You are very hardworking and honest and confident."
"What about your views on my career as well as your career?"
"I have a very clear view that I will always support you on your career front and decisions!"
"Good Dipika. Thanks. I liked this very much. So nice of you dear. You will always be my inspiration!"
"And for my career, I leave the decision to you. Do you want me to do a job or be a homemaker?"
"A homemaker. I would like you to handle household things and our children well. I am not old-fashioned, but I am very particular about this thing. This was the thing I was hesitating to tell you since our first meeting."
"I also think the same. Raising children isn't easy. Children are our future. We should take good care of them. We should carefully raise them with proper attention and make them good human beings. While you will be away doing work for us, I will be happy to stay home and handle home and kids for us. Kids do need full-time attention." With kids emojis.
"I love you so much Dipika. I can't mention in words how grateful I am to you for this. You spoke my mind. We are made for each other! I now feel like coming there right away and hugging you tight!" With lots of heart emojis.
"I am waiting for that. Love you, dear. Lots of love to you! Now let's stop chatting and save something for tomorrow.", Dipika.
"You forgot one thing!", Dipesh.
"What?", Dipika with a questioning emoji.
"Kiss!", Dipesh with lots of lips emojis.
"Let's meet and I will give you one which will make you forget the world!", Dipika with earth and lips emojis.
"Oh really? So, you are an expert in this field and also like cooking?" Dipesh with mischievous emoji.
"I am no expert. I learned from you last time. Last time you kissed me and next is my turn to return it." Dipika with hands on mouth emoji.
"Okay, Dipika. So sweet. Eagerly awaiting our next meeting!", Dipesh.
"Me too! But remember, only kisses before marriage. Nothing more than that. Let us do everything else only after marriage." Dipika.
"Okay. Point taken!", Dipesh.
"Thank you, Sir!", Dipika with an emoji of shaking hand and an emoji with coat and tie.
"Why Sir?", Dipesh.
"Because I know from our earlier conversations that you are much more educated in sex. You boys always think more about sex than us girls." Dipika
This message was sent by her following lipstick and lips emojis together.
"Yes, that's true but sometimes girls surpass boys!", Dipesh.
She sent a winking emoji.
"And how do you know this?" Dipika with a thoughtful emoji.
"Friends are greatest source of knowledge!"
She sent laughing emojis.
He further typed:
"So tomorrow we both will confirm to our respective parents that we are ready to become life partners and they can plan our engagement!" With a shake hand emoji.
"Bye dear, sweet dreams!" Dipika with lots of kissing emojis.
Before sleeping that night, Dipesh was dreaming with his sleepy eyes that he was being kissed by Dipika everywhere on his face along with lips.
