Part 49
Geet snatches her phone away and turns off the screen feeling strangely annoyed as her friend looked this way and that way at his different pics.
G - Stop looking …He is just normal handsome
G- Ohhh... So what is it then ? Hmm? Hmm? Hmmmmmmmm??????
Geet didn't want to tell her friend anything
She starts reverse tickling her friend.
This ensues a sudden tickling and pillow fighting battle.
At the end both stop after running out of energy.
F - Hey…i don't understand what's going on and or whether what you are doing is stupid or not. But honestly l am happy for you.
G - You think this is stupid?
F - It doesn't matter what I think. If this works for you then what I think doesn't count. Most important is your happiness and this is the most happy and relaxed I have seen you over the years.
G - Well.. umm thanks I guess... You know... actually even in am not sure if this is correct. But you are right.it feels like after a long-long time I am really happy and worry free.
F - Good for you!
Geet smiles and hugs her friend feeling unburden.
They both have dinner and then the friend leaves.
In a happy mood Geet goes to sleep. After more than an hour of lying down she couldn't fall asleep.
She twists and turns.
She then makes herself a hot cup of milk and reads a boring article.
But nothing is helping her fall asleep.
Subconsciously her mind keeps replaying the conversation with her friend.
More emphasis on the part where her friend told her with almost confidence that the Maan loves her.
She can't believe it at all.
All the evidences... the evidences... They…they are against her believe! But.. it can't be!
Then is it true that he likes her? Like her like her? The romantic type of liking? Not the friend type or the physical attraction type.
Does he? Really? Why would he? It can't be true right?
Geet tries to come up with past incidents which would help support her believe she couldn't.
Only thing that supported her believe was the logic that; they are different people. From different class. Different upbringing. They couldn’t... they shouldn’t... it would never work out... and they are such different people how can they understand each other's ideology, habits, goals, personality, priorities everything.
Maybe it's just physical attraction pretending to be romantic liking.
She was unable to fall asleep after tossing and turning for a long time, her brain had turned to almost mush.
Feeling groggy and dizzy she looked at the dark circles forming under her eyes.
Without thinking much further she picks up the phone and calls the root of all problems.
Maan answers the call after a few rings.
His voice was husky and deep due to just waking up.
Geet puuls the phone away from her ear and puts it on speaker instead.
M- What happened? Is everything okay? Did you butt dial me? Drunk dial? Are you alright?
G - None of the above... I... I want to ask you something.
M - What do you want to know?
G - It's not really a question.. I.. you can confirm if it's true.
M – What….what is it?
G - Actually it's not something I ... it's something my friend said…
M - What did she say?
G - You know what. Forget it ...it's nothing important…
M - My dear lovely wife. You woke me up at 3.30 am. If you don't say I will die of curiosity.
G - Stop... Stop talking like that. This is all coz you can't control your mouth and talk this way!
M- What happened? Did your friend hear me? Isn't there a simple explanation?
G - …she heard it ...
M - And?
G - And she explained that...
M - She explained?
G - Hmm..
M - What did she explain?
G - that... You..l.. l.. youloveme
M - Do I?
G - Do you?
M - Do _You_ ?
G – I...
M - Is this why you called me?
G - Hmm…
M- Couldn't sleep?
G- Hm.
She hears him sigh deeply.
Her confused brain panics a bit.
Why was he sighing?
Is he angry?
What's he angry about?
Is he sad?
What's he sad about?
Is he thinking I am an idiot?
I knew this call was mistake
M - Honey…ahem…Mrs Geetanjali.. I don't know about love. But I do like you. I like spending time with you. I like talking to you. I like looking at you. I like you. Is that enough for now?
G - You... You.... How can you... This...
M - Don't you like me too?
G - I.. I do... but... this... it's not possible between us...
M - Maybe.. maybe not... But we are happy right now with this much liking right?
G - Right.
M - So let's just continue this way. We don't have to change things because we like each other... it's the opposite. It is because of how things are... it works for us, and we have developed feelings for each other.
G - So you mean... we...
M - We do nothing
G - Oh.
M - Isn't it easy?
G - It is. Buy. I feel like I should do something.
M - Why? We don't have to follow conventions. We are old married couple. We don't have the pressure to express our liking at every turn. We already know it.
G - My friend says you have high EQ ... that's why you married me first and then say all these things so I can't run away.
M - Hmm... in retrospect it does seem like a clever move on my part. But to be honest I didn't like you this much at that time. But partly yeah... I felt you are going to run away.
He laughs at his own joke.
M - But you friend is very interesting. We should have a get together sometime.
G - You are changing the topic!!
M - Okay. What else you want to know?
G - I... We are different people. In the long run we won't fit and get along…
M - Okay. Let's go along till we want to then.
G -.. why are you so relaxed and calm?!! How can you say all this so casually? Why aren't you more alarmed? Have you had so many ex's that this is common for you? Am i freaking out this much because this is my first time feeling all this?
M - I think one of us needs to be calm so maybe that's why? And this is my first time marrying someone and confessing my liking. To be honest like you, i never gave this much thought until you asked me a yes or no question right now.
G - .. i am... This is ..
M - Let me tell you something. Then you answer a question for me?
G - Okay…
M - You have met my parents. I am sure you saw them being lovey-dovey everywhere, all the time.
G – Hmm
M - I grew up seeing that. To me they represent the epitome of what couples in love should look like. But I don't think I want to fall in that kind of love. Tell me, do you want to fall in love where you lose your sense of self and your everything is for the other person? Is it right kind of love? Isn't that defeating the reason why the two people liked and fell for each other in the first place? This my chicken and egg problem.
G - ... Umm I don't want you to get angry but I feel what they have is not love.. but more like obsession...
