Intentions

Its a luxury to be understood
--Ralph Waldo Emerson

Dew and Mist had known each other quite well. Mist had always tried to compete with Dew in every possible way. Dew wasn't much concerned since she always thought there were better things to think about . However she noticed how Mist went an extra mile to beat Dew in someway . It is not sure if Mist knew that Dew knew.
So this time around when Dew and Mist met again, Mist was not greatly different . And that set Dew thinking.

Rock was charming, Dew thought. And so did Rock. He thought he was quite charming . However Rock and Dew had very conflicting ideas and shared a complex relationship. Each disliked the other a lot but at the same time found a great sense of achievement in impressing the other. However Dew told Rock that her relationship with Rock's friend Santro had very good prospects . Santro was obsessed with Dew . But Dew said she liked it . Rock was unsure about how to react to this. He attributed it to Dew's somewhat undecipherable-ways-of -behavior. He was not really bothered.

Dew had talked about Mist to Rock. She said how she needed Rock's support in making Mist understand that there are better things than competing and worrying over it. Rock saw this as an opportunity to prove his ideas superior to that of Dew's ! That seemed like quite an achievement to him. And he promptly told this to Santro . Not with an intention of creating doubts about Dew, but only to share his happiness of being someone important to Dew .

Santro gave a dvd to Dew. That had one song "jag jaa re gudiya" written repeatedly. She kept smiling all day !

Rock realized that Mist was far more interesting than what he had heard. And he got more passionate about getting into a relationship with her than whatever he and Dew had thought of earlier. He found it difficult to hide this from Dew but he did not confide . Dew however got a little weary at times when she saw how even after Rock had interacted with Mist , Mist showed no change ! Rock did not think that to be a matter of concern, though. He had not yet given up on the plan to change Mist .

On a calm sunday, they all planned to meet up and have a late breakfast. Dew had her car recently serviced . Once Rock arrived unexpectedly at her house, Dew suddenly decided that she would go by his car with him. Another of her impulsive decisions , thought all of them!
Dew smiled intently at Santro and he understood. He offered to drive Mist in Dew's car .

The accident that happened after that was the worst that they saw in their lives. It was worst because Santro and Mist would never come back after that !

Dew called Rock the next morning . She seemed expressionless . Rock wouldn't speak much .
While she sat all by herself, she seemed calm. She was waiting for Rock . Rock being a man of principles would be there whenever he promised! And sometimes even when he didn't ...
Rock would be there ...
