"A Successful Failure"

Rahul is going to propose a girl and he knows her for last two weeks.
The chances of getting an "YES" are slim ,if at all any chance.

No one is going to play a game where it is 100% sure that he is the loser.

In the eyes of many rahul may be a loser,but for him winning criteria is different.
For others,success may be a "yes",but for him that is miles beyond his version of success.

He decided to do it over phone,even though they meet everyday now.

Before calling her,he planned a script.

That was like this...

(screenplay)
Rahul(hearing tring tring on phone)
swati:hello
Rahul:hello,I need to tell u one thing
swati:yea,rahul...
rahul(in broken voice):swati...I...I love you and I would like to marry you...
swati:....,..........,.......
rahul:hello..
swati:.........

After 2 minutes of silence,she will disconnect the phone

This was rahul's script one hour before the call


And the real moment comes now...Rahul is going to fit himself into the role.

yes....
Rahul(waiting the call to be picked up)
swati:hello
rahul:hello....swati..I need to know my brother's exam results..here we don't have any net connection ..can you check it there and I will call you after 1 hour If you can tell me then
....
and one more serious thing is there..
swati:okay fine...and wats dat?
rahul:I will tell you after 1 hour
swati:no you should tell it now.....
rahul:no i will tell after 1 hour

and immediately disconnects the phone..

Rahul(thinking to himself)....Entire deviation from script...
Brother's Exam results???He got it 1 hour before....you stupid!!!!

(After 1 hour)

Rahul again calling
Swati:hello
Rahul:hello
swati:your brother passed with distinction
rahul:oh...(he was not thinking anything about that then)
swati........one serious thing,i am going to tell now
swait:ya tell me
rahul:hmm.......hmm..I...I...I
swati:!!!!!
rahul:I..I...decided to propose you..(he told in one breath and now expecting utter silence of denial)
swati:(almost at double speed)...No!!!!!
rahul:why?(now entirely out of script and rahul is not sure why did he ask that 'why' when he knows it 100%)
swati:problem is actually not with you...
rahul:Not with me??(asking to himself....really?)
swati:ya...problem is that I don't like you..
rahul:(couldn't stop laughing,but made sure she didn't hear)..

There ends the drama...

At the end Rahul says to himself:"May be that openness of mind to say it so explicitly that 'I dont like you' is something that attracted me to her."

So its a win-win situation for both...

Rahul got more than silence,which was the thing he was expecting and he got the satisfaction of expressing what he felt
and swati was provided the opportunity to 'nip in the bud' the red rose flower that was tending to blossom in rahul's heart
