“Hey…
once again a story about Aaradhana? No I can’t hear any more! And please, don’t
write about her. Already many are fuming and I don’t want them to speak ill
about you. Also, now it’s not right to write about her. She is married!” she
completed without even a pause to make me think and so her final words stick to
me hard!
“Hey…
What if married? And also, I don’t have any other topic to write other than
her!” I said it with a puppy face and waited for her to get convinced.
“Whatever,
You are not continuing college story! Got it?” she said and that clearly meant
she was not convinced and I had to skip college.
“Ok. Let
me start again and finger in lips now!” I said, she did and I started again!
Four
Years Later.
29th
August 2011,
A sleepless
night again – completed my engineering 4 months back, got through the campus
and got an offer, got a lover, some good friends, few best friends but still
why no sleep?!
No call
letter from the company – Ha… Ha… I was a guy who cares least for that!
Ajith’s
movie hitting screens tomorrow – Who cares? It should be his worry!
Aaradhana’s
marriage invitation mail – Well, a little but not exactly!
The Phone
call last evening – Yeah. I got that! When we really try hard to forget
something (not exactly forgetting, to act like that at least), the all possible
memory pills on earth adhere together. It was more like adding fuel to the fire.
Why the
hell he could call me and enquire me about HER marriage? Whats there for me to
say anything for that?For me it was the day which I never want in the
worst of my dreams was waiting right before me. I was cursing earth for its
movement still! I felt so dejected and don’t ever want to witness that day in
life.It was just like inviting
me to my own funeral!
Wait. Whats
the matter here? Am angry over me? Sam? Or Aaradhana?
Roger Samuel or
just Sam – You don’t know him. He is my best buddy in my engineering 4 years.
To be exact, the last 3 beautiful years of my college life! Born on Mahatma
Gandhi’s birth date, my own friends call him as the disgrace to the nation but
I would definitely rate him higher than Gandhi! Quite authentic with
Christianity yet a simple guy who could give anything for his friends. From the
two seated benches to the food we eat we have shared everything from sky to
dust!
Aaradhana –
I don’t want to say anything more and am done with her. That’s all.
Evening Phone
Call,
Sam, “Hi
da… how are you!?”
I was
totally elated with the call and with utmost enthusiasm, “Yeah da very fine!
It’s so long since you called, how is Bangalore? Work?Girls?”
Shattering
all my enthusiasm into such tiny pieces Sam replied, “Hey… leave that da! Una alukku kalyanam ahme!?”
(Your lover getting married it seems!?)
“Most
important da... Am very happy for that! Are you coming for that function?”
(Sarcasm)
“Hey,
really? That’s great da… I can apply for leave and so can meet you all there
that day!” (Without understanding sarcasm)
“Stupid, am
not coming! I won’t. But I guess most guys would go!” replied with utmost
defeated tone.
“It’s your
Ex-lover’s marriage da, how can you avoid it!?”
“PEEM
PEEMPEEMPEEM PEEM!!”
A minute of
silence, stirred up with anger. It was a long call that went on to various
topics. I guess that was my longest call with a guy! (Wonder how same gender
people speak such long time! especially girls! :P). Though it ended with a good
note, I couldn’t just trace back to my normal state. I was frustrated!
Minute of Madness!
