Another day in Tuglakabad
- It was a good day.
Though it's hard to explain what’s good, but anyway…
**flashback**
It was the 2nd time. Strange, even it’s hard to explain what’s good? The first time was with Llt, and of course that wasn’t planned as we were actually going to a tech event in Gurgaon or Noida. And he gave up… we changed the plan to Tughlakabad. A dried place with step wells, caves, and a lot irregular structures. Soon, I realised it was the last trip with Llt. Hm.. he made me realised. Yet thanks to him.
- So with all these experiences, I warned them. The more I warned, the more excitement they felt, specially Ayub. To win, I pointed the girls…
- “How will they survive?”
- “What do you want to say?”
- And I lost the argument.
- “Ok. Then…”
- Everything was unexpected, and this is it. Unexpected things give more happiness than planed ones, though how things go, depends on you.
- Ok, let me start again…
- It was a drive planned today, specifically a Bhandara drive. I was willing for Aditya and Poonam to come, or just Poonam, to let her know how we use her name in our boys talks, specially what Aditya thinks. But drive got postponed… due to a fire outage in Bhandara’s kitchen. Why was I laughing?
- Then I asked Shilpi, if I still had a chance in there plan. A plan where we decide where to go after we have left our homes, lol. And here I see my ex, and her close male colleague friend, Arun (not new to me). It’s not difficult to imagine, how awkward it can get when you, your ex and her boyfriend like friend are together (Not boyfriend). Strange? But I’m proud that I controlled, of course I’ve changed. Feelings are something that mess everything up if you don’t control them and it doesn’t mean, you hide them (PoV: like Bhavna?).
Anyway I observed her friend over caring her, when she doesn’t need it, and it was getting over. Yep, leave it too… - I have already seen Tuglakabad, so I wasn’t worried if I miss something coz I never missed anything. Later, we started truth and dare. I would knew the consequences but also ready to face instead running. And the first question to me, of course,
- “Who was your last girlfriend or who did you propose last or so on… with same meaning”
- Of course by Ayub. And now I was stuck. Should I say truth and take risk of hurting my ex (as I once promised to keep it as secret) or just say lie which I never do. So, I said half truth. I said,
- “I confessed my feelings to Bhawna”
- Yep, that introvert Selenophile. And next turn is my ex,
- “Who is your last boyfriend?”, Ayub again.
- She said, “There is nobody”.
A full lying game went on… where only Arun did best. Best as a beginner. - Nothing much special after this…
- Also, finally I talked her about the bottle. Bottle? Her left behind bottle is still with me. I tried hard to return it! Why? Because it has a Straw. It wasn’t easy but someone I became habitual of using it putting all shame aside. And now, it’s officially mine, coz she said that I could take it. I feel good that I did it!
- Happy ending!
- Thanks therapist :)
