“What?”
“I am 30, settled. I have worked my ass off for almost 7 years now..... I need a break!”
“Yeah, I bet you do!”
"I think I should get married”
*Oh My God. Will he pop the question?*
“Really?”
“Yeah, let’s meet tonight. I need to sort a lot of things before that”
"Like?”
“Oh, not on the phone. See you at Karims’, 8.30?”
“Ok”
*And people said I was a fool to wait. It’s all worth it. Thank you God, finally it is happening*
____________________________________________________________________________
“You look great”
“You too”
“Ok, settle down”
“So what are the things that you want to sort out?”
*Hands in his pocket? Geeee…..The ring? I don’t want this…but I so want this*
“Anything wrong?”
“No”
“Are you comfortable?”
“Yeeaahhhh”
“So, I was thinking that I’d need your help in withdrawing my finances. And help me finalise an apartment”
“Yaah”
“What ya? You are in this business and I want you to suggest me a place which would be the best. 2/3 bhk, maximum 60 lakh. An Architect friend should be of some use ;)”
“Ya, ok”
“What ok?”
“I’ll let you know the details in a day or two”
“What’s wrong, Mira? Everything alright?”
“Absolutely. So what next?”
“This girl. My mum showed me her photograph. She’s a doctor. Physiotherapist. I think I will settle down with this match.”
*Kidding, are you?*
"And everything is going as per my plan. Engagement in 3 months and wedding in another 6 months. So I kind of have almost a year to buy an apartment. I have spoken to this lady twice or thrice. She’s sweet.”
*gulp*
“Really? Great!”
*gulp*
“So, parents are happy, grandma’s happy and I am sure you are happy too”
“Of course. So now it’s Life: Part 2, huh?”
"Yeah, like we’d always discussed. I hope this is as beautiful as part 1 was. The ups and downs have been satisfying and I am game for it yet again.”
“Am sure you’ll do well.”
“And you are 30 too. Speed up girl and finalise a guy. If you have so many conditions, then…sllurrrrrpppp…..this soup is f***ing hot…. Water…”
*Conditions, yeah!!*
"So, have you considered any new matches?”
“Yeah. But they don’t fit in my conditions.”
"Ok, today finally tell me what your conditions are? You’ve never told me”
*smile*
*smile*

*tears*

“What’s wrong with the sizzlers? The fumes are hurting my eyes”
*smile*

The world would be a better place if we could hear each other's feelings. Just my view.
ReplyDeleteI know you will begin with - we will get hurt a lot knowing what others feel - but look at it this way - atleast genuinity will be maintained - you will know who who and whats whats. Clarity can lead to simplicity.
And once you know your feelings are visible - you will automatically keep them clean. Well atleast thats the idea.
@Sunny: I agree, hands down!!
