Hey
So, just like the rest my imagination has gotten away again...
OS: Scene playing repeatedly in my head ... after the massage (Cause the massage I am imagining would be hard to put into words)
Gopi:- ... Ji, does it still hurt?
Ahem:- Yeah... I don't know what happened? Anyways you go and sleep... Thanks for the massage...
<He fakes trying to lie down on the recliner when Gopi instinctively stops him by placing her hand on his shoulder... He looks directly into her eyes and she retracts her hand and looks down nervously... Ahem purses his lips slightly>
Ahem:- What happened?
Gopi:- Ji... woh... Please don't sleep on the recliner... it will make your sprain worse... you need to straighten your back... Please sleep on the bed
Ahem:- Is it?
<He looks innocently at the bed and then back at her... Gopi smiles slightly at the fact that he agreed without arguing>
Gopi:- Ji (With her characteristic head bob)
<Ahem fakes a nonchalant shrug and gets up... only to see her turn around and walk towards the cupboard...>
Ahem:- Gopi! Where are you going? The water jug is on the nightstand... Then where are you going?
Gopi:- Ji... woh... the mattress is in the cupboard...
Ahem:- Mattress? <Looks at the bed> What's wrong with this one?
Gopi:- (utterly confused) Ji, nothing.
Ahem:- Then what are you doing?
Gopi:- Ji, I am going to get the mattress for myself... If you will sleep on the bed then I will... <pointing at her previous spot on the floor>
Ahem:- You will sleep on the floor then?
Gopi:- Ji.
<Ahem immediately sat down like a stubborn kid... Gopi reached out wondering if his back hurt... Ahem looked at her outstretched hand and then looked directly into her eyes>
Ahem:- If you will need to sleep on the floor... Then my back doesn't hurt that much. You go sleep.
<He looks away and begins to adjust his blanket>
Gopi:- But Ahemji...
Ahem:- What? <looking back at her sharply>
Gopi:- Umm... Look you sleep on the bed.. I will...
Ahem:-- Will also sleep on the bed... Anyways its just a matter of one night...
<And then without looking at her he picked up his bedding and threw it on the bed... Got up and moved to arrange his pillow and blanket... As Gopi stood behind him rooted to the spot... Tears welling up in her eyes at the memory he had sparked in her... >
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I leave it here... An open ending... What do you think she will do? Will she follow him to the bed or will she turn him down firmly...? Or something else? I felt it would be unfair on my part to decide this ending so have left it to you guys ... Dream up your own ending.
