The journey of love was retrieved back on the track from the 'Unknown friend'. It had been a month now since I found Alisha. Since then I was constantly in touch with her. Love was going at a uniform speed. But now after a month, the heart wanted more. I thought the time had come for me to accelerate and express all my emotions before her. The mind tried to restrict the brain from doing this but the overconfident heart ignored the suggestion and had made its mind to express itself before Alisha. The mind intimidated, "I will also not live as Armaan anymore. I have an identity of my own and I would love to disclose that before Alisha. The intimidation didn't work either, instead, the heart told that this was what it wanted. Alisha loved Raj and so did Raj, then where did this Armaan jostle from. The quarrel of the heart and the mind was constantly widening its exposure. Before it could turn out as tumour and heart attack, I suspended the debate and decided to go with both of them. I would first tell her about my real feelings and then I would surprise her by revealing my identity. Both the mind and the heart asked the same question, "Aren't we going too fast?"
The Toronto shoot schedule was over and we were now in Mumbai, shooting in the rains. The weather has been cold and lovely. The romance was ruling every heart. Talking about the changes in me at the time of rains, the first thing that happened to me was that the playlist was changed. Earlier I used to get annoyed during monsoon because of the water lodging everywhere, but it was not the same this time. I had started loving it. I liked standing under falling drops of water from the shower of the sky. Alisha was also in Mumbai during monsoon. I always took shower under the sky assuming Alisha to be around me. She loved this a lot. Alisha had started ruling the sky. I had always waited for her arrival in my life and now when she was in, I was impaired to speak. This was depluming me, which was not acceptable for me.
I finally had an answer to the questions asked by the heart and the mind.
Thanks to the rains and the solo romantic week, I decided to answer the heart and mind and then meet Alisha. "Love is not an employee of time; it survives on the beads of feelings."The dark phase of my love was now over. The heart and the mind were convinced either. I had made my mind to meet the girl of my dreams. I was just dying to see her. At this time, I remembered no plans of mine. There was nothing in my mind, or the mind didn't want to share those thoughts. As I said
I was dying to meet her, I rang her, "Hello Alisha! How are you?"
"You're still alive. Good to hear from you," she replied in a voice full of sarcasm.
"I know, I was dead but you were not alive either," I replied in the same manner.
"Oooo... so you will be competing me now," she said rudely.
"Why the hell are you behaving like this? I know I couldn't call you yesterday, but there were reasons. I was busy shooting. The way you are speaking to me, you sound like a bitch." I said in a loud voice, in a single breath.Warning: This is to the males reading the book. The girls are free to skip the part. So, what do you think, what was her reaction after hearing the word bitch for herself and that too from someone, whom she never met, neither seen a picture of? Trust me you're gonna be shocked at her reaction. Please
assume something in your mind (Please don't inform the heart) and then continue.There was a longer than a normal pause in the conversation, which was getting scary over each passing second. I felt like I had gone too far with the flow. I shouldn't have scolded her the way I did. And after all, it was my mistake. I was doing nothing rather creating nuisance at the sets of my movie.
I was liable to be punished. But the other end was completely muted. I thought, "There is nothing left between us now. It's over."
I thought to say sorry and then proceed towards begging her not to end the relationship, or whatever it was between the two of us. I said, "I am so sorry Alisha. I didn't mean to say that. It just came out of my mouth. I didn't have control over my tongue. Please speak something. I know it's my mistake and I can do anything for you to forgive me."
There was still no reaction from the other end. But I wasn't a dumb either.
