Shock, Surprise, Joy, Content, Sorrow, Anger...Multiple emotions erupted on hearing him say that.
All my bottled up emotions battled with each other to prove which emotion is the strongest.
Finally Anger was declared the winner
"Sorry wrong number. Yahan koi Anamika nahi rehti" I said in a fit of rage.
Was he going to disconnect?
Will he understand that I am angry?
Will he try to console me?
Will he apologize?
There were numerous questions.
"Sorry" he said.
Sorry?? Thats it???
Does he think spelling a 5 letter word Sorry would be enough for making me wait so long?
"You better be...You better be Mr. Ajnabi" I said.
"Itni nafrat karti ho mujhse"
Oh wow! Now he decides what I do?
Say yes my brain instructed.
That's a big lie my heart argued.
So are you going to tell him that you love him? My brain mocked.
May be my heart replied.
Yeah...go ahead and tell him that so that he could leave you hanging for another 11 months and 3 weeks my brain ridiculed.
He may not leave me this time my heart hoped.
Great Ishita! Within few seconds of convo you decided you are going with him? Do not forget you did the same last time my brain warned.
You are right but I can't lie to him my heart cried.
Then say something that is neither a lie nor does it express your true feelings for him my brain suggested.
Thinking is not my job. Its yours my heart reminded.
Ok then...Here it goes...
"As far as I know myself, mai kisise nafrat nahi karti"
Great job! My heart applauded.
Thanks my brain smirked.
You get to reply for his next question my heart permitted.
Pleasure is all mine my brain rejoiced.
Wow that was another witty reply my heart congratulated the brain on countering his next statement.
I know that my brain shrugged.
"Achha? Kya mai is change ki wajah jaan sakta hun?" He asked.
My brain was still forming a witty reply when my heart butted in "Kisi ne kaha tha ke zyada nafrat achhi baat nahi hai"
Why did you do that? You are letting him know your true emotions my brain confronted.
I am sorry. I didn't mean to my heart apologized.
"Chalo kam se kam tumhe itna to yaad hai"
Did you hear that? Now he thinks you keep thinking about him my brain yelled.
Well that's true my heart argued.
I have had enough of you. Now you just keep quiet while I cover up the blunder you just committed my brain decided when I said "Bhooli to mai kuch nahi isi baat ka to afsos hai"
That was quite rude my heart commented.
You are not saying a word my brain ordered.
My brain completely shut my heart for the next few seconds while it took charge of formulating some mean and curt replies.
Don't be so mean to him my heart kept begging while my brain turned a deaf ear towards it.
"Maine call kiya tha pehle bhi par tumne mujhe pehchanne se inkar kar diya"
Did you hear that? He is lying on to your face and you would still like to hold on to him? My brain asked.
There came no reply from my heart as it was unable to recover from the shock he just gave.
He had called??? My heart was dumbstruck.
You really think he did? Even if he did why would you not recognize him. Its a huge joke my brain tried to put some sense.
My heart now seemed to get back it senses as it poured out all the pent up emotions in the form of accusations...
I am not as strong as you my heart admitted to my brain as it choked and sniffed.
Hey! Its alright! I understand my brain comforted.
My brain understood. My heart ached. Well thats what their job is right?
May be thats exactly why my brain let my heart speak out for itself for the next few seconds.
"Aur kitna jhoot bologe?"
"Bahut jee liya jhooti ummeedon ke sath. Ab aur nahi hota mujhse. Please mujhe akela chod do"
My heart cried while the brain consoled.
They had called it a truce and were doing the jobs best known to them.
But what came next was unexpected.
"I love you Anamika" I heard him say.
My heart and brain both froze.
There was no argument, no confrontation, no mocking, no begging...nothing.
They had completely stopped working.
"Kuch to bolo Anamika" he begged.
This is what I had been waiting for right? My heart probed.
Do you believe him? My brain asked.
What if he really loves me? My heart hoped.
Raman really loves you my brain reminded.
Raman! Oh Raman! How could I forget? How could I? My heart cried with guilt.
You are engaged to a person who loves you unconditionally my brain emphasized.
"Ab in baton ka koi matlab nahi" my heart finally decided to let go.
"2 hafton me meri shadi hai" I told more to myself than him.
He must leave me alone now I assumed.
"Tum jhoot to nahi keh rahi? Mujhse naraz ho isilye aisa keh rahi ho na?"
"Kash! Kash ye jhoot hotha. Par yahi haqeeqath hai" I bit my lower lip.
"Par ye haqeeqath is haqeeqath ko badal nahi sakti ke mai tumse pyar karta hun"
Biting the lower lip did not help anymore. The pain was so immense that I could not stop crying.
God is the best Planner Akka had said.
And I had surrendered myself to His planning.
Is this what He had planned for me?
I am getting married in 2 weeks and here the love of my life is confessing to me.
What am I supposed to do?
"I love you Anamika"
"Stop it please" I begged.
"I love you Anamika "
"Please...no"
"I love you Anamika "
"Please stop...please...for God's sake"
"No I won't. I won't stop until you accept my feelings for you"
"Fine then. Do as you like. I am hanging up"
"I know you wont"
"How can you be so confident?"
"Because I know you love me"
Did he just say that!?
