She started yet another time when I start a new post,
“Hey please please, one more pause please!”
I just stopped and when she asked, “Hydar was your best
friend right?” with a little doubt in it, I replied “Tense mismatch – Hydar
is…” and continued!
For every relationship there will always be a lag after few
days of closeness – even if not for everyone, it will be for me with everyone
excepting one. Hydar – I knew him for past 7 years and we were best friends
since the first meet! (Of course he is a guy and you can’t expect every single
soul I write good to be a girl!) We went to school together for only a year but
we managed to meet most evenings. There was a distance of separation during the
college days but we are together again after our engineering. With a large
share of common friends, we had our own unique friends too. But the best part
of our relationship is that we search for one another both during happy and sad
times. Another reason why we were close is that we reside next to each other.
We both were returning back from the movie together and I
have literally no secrets to hide from him. He casually enquired, “Marriage was
scheduled tomorrow only na? Shall we…”
I stopped him halfway, “I know what you would say… but its
life now… we can’t do anything… let us leave…!”
“Hey we still have 12 hours da… Porom..ponnathookurom!”
(Kidnap the bride) Hydar seemed serious.
But that was usual for us ‘we planned the same for most of
our friends’ ex-lover marriages. I dint respond to that and he continued,
“Okay, leave that plan. You say what to do! We will do that tonight!”
I thought for a while, my mom and dad were out of town for
the night, I had asked Hydar to join me. “How about a party tonight?” I just
asked casually.
“What kinda party?” he kidded with little hint of alcohol.
We usually say everyone that we both get drunk in weekends but have never
experienced that. I don’t want to have that tonight either.
Door open and in my house, everything shattered hinted my
mom was not there for the past 12 hours. I just sat down dejectedly when Sun
Music turned to full music without VJ’s – hinted its more than 11.
“She won’t be mine from tomorrow da. With doubts of my
uncertain future, all my dreams were getting crushed. I know am the master of
my destiny and I just can’t avoid anything from her and not even her marriage
invitation. I don’t want to say anything to her but I have to go. Just once and
I swear I won’t even try speaking to her. Hydarrrr… come… we shall go there
now!”
“Even now she is not yours. You are not drunk and you have
never been. Don’t act like you are! And we are not going anywhere…” stern and
stubborn response. He usually won’t go against my thoughts but those words were
completely supressing and I started feeling little.
“Pleeeaaase da…”
“We will go tomorrow morning. Sleep now!”
We have stayed together even before, but haven’t experienced
such a serious conversation. It’s quite different but to me difference was
within me.
Minute of Madness
