Anoushka-
I am stupid!
I know.
What a stupid sentence to remember from one's teen years!- Such an insignificant detail in my insignificant little life. Yet, that was the turning point...The way he brushed it away as if...
Waise bhi yeh sab ameeron mein hota hai- Don't tell me you haven't been kissed before.
!!!
Of course, I am the one buying out dates with rich girls...I was so blind and stupid! Why didn't he punch that rich brat on his face!
I am back! ...After 6 long years. Back home with my family in my favourite place on earth. Yet there is this...
I cried today.
I wasn't able to face him, you know. I ran away from him. And then I realised I was so stupid.
I never imagined he would be the first thing I have to handle the very moment I got back. ...Even before I met my parents or my brothers. Imagine! I had promised indifference, but somewhere down the line, I was just avoiding him. This guy still has this power over me. Ridiculous, indeed...
Oh well! It was unavoidable. He did manage to end my day colourfully. He made it a point to point out I was a fool. ...That I ran away 6 years back...was still running away, in my city...in my house...
It still hurts so much. After all these years! Papa was asking me about my activities, my friends, my love life... How do I tell him I don't trust anyone outside of my family anymore.
I once had a friend.
I cared for him deeply.
I would do anything for him...anything.
Even get him dates with girls.
But the day he trivialised my feelings, badmouthed me and showed me his true colours...Just when I was finding out he was more than a friend...
I stopped trusting people.
I am not going to be anyone's ladder. Period!
I am glad it is done and over with. No more, this fear of meeting him.
Only dreams about my tomorrow...Work, work and work...
...And my family.
Sidhanth-
The day was filled with her.
Though it did start with my dad... First, the spider, which was symbolic of my struggle with my dad...Well, he did get by his short cut, thanks to me, the master player.
And then, the monkey business... forever dancing for the performer, her dad...happy with his peanuts...when he should have been...
Oh well, my dad and me is a long story.
But her...
I knew it had to be her. It's been so long. But I knew, even if it was just a glimpse. But I let her fool me. I checked with Poorva. Madam was supposedly busy in NewYork. And then her name cropped up at work. My heart stopped for a second, wishing...
I was back at her home after ages. Naturally, my first glance was up, at her room. When the lights came on, I badly wanted her to step out...How was I to know she was just there!
Finally, I caught her. After a long day of hide N seek.
There, by the poolside. As haughty as ever...Ignoring me as if I was just an insect! While I had been yearning for her...
I swore then...One day she would have to come running after me!
Enough of games!
Enough of toying with me, keeping me around her, playing me like her puppet...
If my dad gave anyone the impression he would selflessly serve them like a slave, let it be known I am no slave. I am not one to wait around. I make things happen.
I may not be rich now, but I am not STUPID!
