A Khaas Bath & Lots More Presentation :
The 2 AM Vulnerable Conversation:
"You have not moved on from her thoughts. Have you?" came a text from his best friend. "I have moved on. Why are you asking me now?", he lied. "Stop lying. I am your best friend. I don't just read your stories. I understand what made you write that too.", Siri texted. "Stop bringing this topic. You will be a pretty bride in some days now. Let's talk about that.", he tried his usual stuff trying to distract her.
"Shut up and tell me what's wrong with you? Are you still waiting for her? It's been two years since you decided that you will come out of this.", she started a bit upset now. "Hey don't be upset. I am trying my best.", he texted back rather sheepishly. "Still trying? Are you nuts? Do you realize what are you doing with your life? She told a No. Isn't it? Why are you still hanging onto this? I want to slap you now Adi. You are so stupid" she texted back, terribly upset now.
"Love is stupid. It's been 10 years now. Shit!! One decade of my life, I have been waiting for this one girl. Anyone who listens to this says this is very stupid. But I know what I am undergoing. It's so personal. Though I keep saying I have moved on, I think deep inside I am still searching for her and waiting for a miracle to happen. It's something involuntary just like how I still love her deep within without even worrying much about it. Something that happens in my subconscious.", Adi replied back.
"Bullshit!! You must consult a psychiatrist for sure. Adi, she has said No. She will not come back. She may have forgotten your existence by now. Why don't you get this? I am worried about your life man. Seriously worried. You will get hurt very bad. Forget all this pyaar-vyaar bullshit and marry someone. Start a fresh life. Tell your subconscious mind that you are ready for a new life.", Siri texted in one go. It was as if they were talking to each other face to face.
"Stop worrying about me Siri. I am very happy in life. This is just a void that I am not able to fill up. Do you think I have not tried moving on? I want to start a fresh life too. But the past is one thing holding me back. I have not got my answers. I still feel this could have actually worked. I feel we deserve to be together. We could have created a beautiful world for ourself. I am in a stage in life where I have come a long way walking and going back and starting it all over is such a difficult task. I prefer walking this path which may have no destination instead of taking the right path again.", replied Adi.
"You don't know much about her. You don't know what she really is as a person. You see her as a strong lady. She will be weak and vulnerable too. She might be someone totally different to the world and different inside. Why do you admire her so much? Be practical. You are smiling outside and there is so much inside. 10 years is too much. Foolish I can say. The day she gets married is the day you will be hurt the most. I am telling you, it's difficult to come out of it Adi. Be my sweet friend and say yes for a marriage. I will find a girl for you.", texted Siri.
"I understand everything you say Siri. But the heart doesn't get what mind easily gets. Trust me. I will be happy. I will be your cheerful Adi once again. I need time...", assured Adi. "Dude, you need time? You said the same thing 2 years back. 2 years is not a short time. You are such a mess Adi. I hate you man.", sent Siri.
"Haha. I am a mess but this is my mess. I kind of actually like it...", sent Adi. By the time he replied, she had slept.
The conversation ended abruptly just like how his life was stuck in between abruptly....
