One good thing about having a late night tea or coffee is dat. .it sets the perfect ambience for gossips, stories. .and gossip stories.
Again we were talking. She had already started her tea. . . . i was waitng for mine to cool down a bit. I dont like it too hot.
"I met him, last week". She said.
- Eh. . who??? -
"Oh. .U know him. . Mr.XYZ . I used to have a crush on him. . .long back."
- Oh, alright. I remember him. .So. . u met him last week??-
"Yeah. and u know wat, I actually felt good. And then. . .I felt very excited."
Uh. . OH!! 'Good' is fine . .but 'excited'???
"I know it sounds stupid. But, seriously, i was very excited dat after such a long time, almost a year, I met him."
"Then, I went back to my place. . And. . I felt very resltess. I didnt know what to do. My team mate was asking me something but i was in no mood to listen. I just wanted to go somewhere. .anywhere."
I smiled.
"And then. . When i got into the bus. I felt bad. Real bad. That, how much ever i wish he will never be in my life. I felt bad that, i can never give it a chance, can never give both of us a chance."
Now she was talking staring at the TV screen.
"The thought really irritated me. And then. . Then i thought, what if i had nothing else to care about, what if it was completely upto me. and he too liked me. Then what.
What will I say then. .
And the answer that come to my mind was. ..
Obviously "NO".
I laughed and almost spilled my tea. What???
"Yeah. . I mean, One sec i was feeling nice. . .then excited. . then irritated. . then sad. . then angry. .and finally. . .nothing. . blank. . back to what i was before meeting him. "
"Well . . He is nice and all. But, not the kind of guy i want my life with. So. . by the time i reached home. I was happy and fine. :$"
I was trying hard not to laugh. .
"Hey. . be honest. . .this is just normal right???"
- I guess so. And by the way. .nice tea -
"Thanks"
I winked. And took my cup of tea.
