Minutes of Madness - 05

“Hey… pause! I have got one small thing to say. A guy-guy story bores anyone! Please, a guy – girl story?” she said that after a huge yawn which clearly meant it bored her. But it stirred up my instincts and said her, “Time for Aaradhana story again?”

She turned furious within seconds and replied sternly, “No. You have a lover. Write about her!”

“Okay, let me try it!”

Midnight Transition 29 – 30^th August,

A long term fighting with Priya (Obviously my lover!) has never deteriorated our relationship in the past 4 years. No doubts over my character here, I loved Aaradhana for first 30 months and got committed with Priya for the final 16 months of my engineering life (Still committed!).We often fight for unnecessary reasons, I find her little emotional and childish and she finds me little ‘never’ care, heartless, brainless, memory less, blah, blah, blah. She had all reasons to call me so and I had one simple reason ‘you are too childish!’

After the college got over, she flew back to Mumbai. One could never express with words the feel of relief when your girlfriend leaves you out of the town and had no plans of returning back. It is quite similar to an IDC (Indefinitely closed) in your university! Such happiness was short lived and later I began to miss her within a month. I missed the dates, long night calls, movies, purchases, treats and her ‘really funny’ gifts but never cared to say anything to her!

I couldn’t sleep and was staring at my mobile and reading those stupid updates in twitter. I was in a mood to talk with someone, may be my best friend – Sahana but she could possibly be asleep. I don’t mind waking her up and she too won’t mind but I don’t want to do that (That’s a different story!). The complete silence of the night went unnoticed with my swaying mind and thoughts. 

1 message received

I have got the text alert in twitter so I thought someone could have mentioned me in twitter. I was happy for that as someone was awake along with me so that I could have a conversation! But the text was not from twitter but from Priya. I was wondering what she was doing such late. I have Received a ‘Good Night baby’ message a few hours ago which I never cared to reply but now a message ‘Shall I call you now? feel like talking to you…’

It would really be funny to say ‘people close to you will always be with you at time of distresses’ but I felt that to be true for the first time in my life that night. I dint reply but straightaway called her. Within seconds I realised that was the stupid decision to call when whole family was sleeping. I just don’t want to hang up the call and so locked up inside the usual place for night talks – The Bathroom! Talking inside a bathroom is always a special feel; we could hear our own voice as noise.

I started, “Hey what happened? Any problem?”

She replied with a hissing tone “hmmm...Nothing. But I love you… ok?”

That was too cute to hear her say that in such a husky voice in such calm night. I was enjoying the moment without replying her. Getting back to normal I said, “Yeah baby, I know. Why now? Suddenly at this night?”

“Just felt like saying. That’s all. Nothing big” she said with a little enthusiasm. 

Calling up at night – anyone can do it, but just to say ‘I love you’ – only Priya could do that! I loved the way but I know there would certainly be some other reasons behind it!
