What should
I reply? I don’t know for what purpose he was asking. If I say yes, would he
think I’m weak or if I say no, would he think I’m doing too much? I can’t say
both.
‘Ur wish.’ I
replied him.
‘Ok’. He
replied.
May be he
got angry. After marriage that was the first time he came down but I was not.
If I say ok then, I will be the loser again. In college I was the first person
to compromise. I don’t want to continue that. If he wants then he will come, I
won’t call him.
He knocked
my room door. Sudden fear rose inside me. I opened the door.
‘Hey, are
you ok now?’ He asked.
‘Some what
ok.’ I replied.
‘Shall I
come inside?’He asked. I forgot to allow him inside. How stupid I am. Slowly
I’m forgetting everything when he was near to me. I moved. He sat in the chair
near my bed. I sat in my bed.
‘I asked you
not to see that, then why you saw?’ He asked.
‘I saw it.
Before you say,’
‘Hmmm. Don’t
think about that. Morning have to go to office. Also you are very sincere
worker.’ He tried diverting me.
‘I’m fully
occupied with that. If I sleep I will get nightmare only again. You go and
sleep. Give that book what you were reading, I will read it for some time.’
‘What book?’
‘You only
msged me, that you were reading book.’
‘Oh yeah.
It’s just a magazine. I bought it for me. I cant give.’
Tiny smile
born in my lips. ‘It’s ok I have some books I will read that.’
‘ Don’t
waste the current. I am only paying the electricity bill. You read tomorrow
morning.’
‘What do you
want me to do then?’
‘Nothing,
Sleep.’ Seriously, he is the best idiot in the world. Can’t he say to me to
sleep in one word? For that how many words he is using unnecessarily. His luck,
I married him. If any other girl married him, surely she would have asked for
divorce within one week.
‘I am not
feeling sleepy.’ I said. He didn't talk back. He was seeing somewhere.
‘If you are
worried about your current bill then you tell story. I too will sleep by
hearing it.’ I said.
‘I am not
good in it. If you sleep only I will go from here.’
‘Good
night.’ I said and leaned on bed. He was sitting near me. He thinks if he is
near me, I won’t get nightmares. But it started when he went away from me.
Next day
morning… He was not in my room. Did I had a dream? No, everything seems like
real. Then where he is? I came out of my room. His room was opened. I looked
inside, he was sleeping. The same shirt which he was wearing last night...
I think he
slept late night. I don’t want to disturb him. I closed his door and went to
bath. Then I woke him. He got up and said thanks for waking him up. It’s late
so I cooked food for him also.
He dropped
me in office. I started to do my remaining work which I left yesterday. I tried
to finish the work soon.
Lunch time…
I sat with shalini. She was busy talking with her boy friend in phone. I too
was talking like this only in my college days by forgetting everything around me.
But now……………. I sighed. My mobile gave one beep sound. I got msg from Gautham.
‘You there?’
He texted.
‘ Ya say.’
‘Lunch is
good. Thanks.’
‘Its k.’ I
replied. But no reply from him. I finished my lunch.
My project
manager called me and said that I will get transfer to Delhi soon. I applied
for transfer when I came here, but it was so soon to get. It’s for good
only. I was
thinking about him more nowadays. I have to go soon. Again my phone gave sound,
this time he called me.
‘Hello’ I
answered.
‘Hey Harini
, My mom coming home today evening. Just now she called me.’
‘Why she is
coming? She didn't inform us also.’
‘She is
coming for shopping for my sister marriage it seems. Many of my relatives are
coming.‘
‘That’s
good. I will stay in Shalini’s home today.’
‘Are you
joking? We are married! We have to go home soon and arrange it properly. My mom
will notice everything.’
‘So today
also I can’t finish my work?’
‘Your
mother-in-law, you only have to care.’ He said sheepishly.
‘Ok pick me
also while going.’ I kept the phone. I said to shalini about this. She advised
me to act like good wife otherwise it will create big problem.
We came to
home. I kept half of my things in his room. Mixed our things together and made
the home like we are living happy life. It’s nice only if we both work together
in home. He went to pick them. I prepared dinner.
After half n
hour they came. I greeted them. We talked for sometime then I served dinner for
them. Sometime I laughed when Gautham talked with me like husband. I asked his mother
to sleep with me and Gautham will sleep in hall. But she said us to sleep
together and She will sleep in another room.
Gautham also
said to her to sleep with me but she didn't listen. She thought that we were
sacrificing some big thing for her.
I entered in
to kitchen to clean everything. She too came with me.
‘You go and
sleep ma, I will clean it.’ She said with mother’s care.
‘Its ok aunty, you traveled a long way. You sleep aunty I will do it.’
I started to
clean, she was standing near me, ‘Hmmm Harini, Is there any good news?’
I thought
for some time, then asked ‘About what aunty?’
‘Between
Gautham and you?’ She said and felt shy. I understood from her reaction itself.
I don’t know what to answer. I was silent. I kept on cleaning. By that time Gautham
came for my rescue.
‘Why dad didn't come mom?’ he asked.
‘He is busy
with marriage work. I asked your wife one thing, she didn't reply me yet.’
‘What you
asked?’
She asked
the same question to him but in elaborated way. He saw me. I came out of the kitchen
then he talked to his mom and convinced her.
I went to
Gautham’s room and arranged bed. He came.
‘I said that
I am not interested. If she asks you anything just say that it’s my entire
decision.’ He said slowly. I didn't reply him back.
He continued,
‘You are caring your mother-in-law more, but she won’t give your dowry back.’
He can’t remain silent even for 5 mins. He kept on talking about his
mom. My mom
only came to my mind. How she cared me when we left. I am missing her a lot.
Tears filled my eyes.
‘Hey what
happened?’He asked.
‘I want to
see my mom.’
He didn't talk anything for some time.
‘We will go
and meet her next week. Now you sleep.’ He said.
‘No, I am
not feeling sleepy.’ I cried.
‘hmmmmmmmm
Ok ok .I will tell story. You sleep. ’ He said in a lovely voice.
I never
expect he will say like this. He is totally under my control when I cry but why
he turn back on that day alone.
‘Ok.’ I said
and I leaned on the bed. He was sitting in the chair.
‘In one
city, there were two brother named A and B’
‘A and B?
Keep name for them.’ I suggested.
‘Hey I am
struggling to think this itself. You say name.’
‘Siva and
Karthick.’
‘Why you
choose these names? You know them? Are they working in your company?’
I stared at
him. Still asking childish questions. ‘This is common names in Tamil cinema.
You are going to continue the story or questions?’
‘Ok..They
were trained in martial arts. They usually……….’
Always
action stories? Because of this story, I am going to get action dream only.
‘Have you
slept?’ He asked in very low voice.
‘Kidding?.
You have not yet started the story.’
‘Ok Ok. Next
day their city got in to trouble…………..’
I closed my
eyes and heard his story ... no actually listened to his sweet voice……
