One of the strangest thing in the world is probably one sided love..Where you know the other person doesn't love you and can never be yours but your heart still loves them, care for them..Knowing that they are not yours it's refuses to be someone else's and my condition was almost like that..I know Arnav doesn't love me and he is married but my heart still doesn't allow me to be with someone else, even if that someone is not a stranger.. I was thinking about all these seating alone in a coffee shop drinking my favorite black coffee.. well it's not my favorite and probably can not be anyone's favorite but I am habituated to it.. someone I love used to drink it a lot and I acquired that habit from him which didn't go away..Isn't it so strange that sometimes you acquire habits from someone and carry it with you even though that someone is certainly not a part of your life anymore..!!!
I was thinking how to tackle the situation I am in, oh you don't know what happened to me last night, right?? I was super surprised seeing the picture of the groom my mother bought with her, it was none other then NK..Can you imagine??
I mean we were very good friends in college and then he moved to Australia, he is one of the few people I am in touch with after college..He sent me a marriage proposal..I mean what's wrong with him, if he likes me, he could have tell me.. Without telling me anything he is sending proposals to my home..What's wrong with all the man in my life.. Can't anyone of them think rationally..I guess my luck in man is bad, I always end up with the weird one!!
When NK came I stand up to greet him, He smiled at me and tried to hug me but I didn't let him, I don't want to give him any wrong impression..He sat in front of me and without any delay I asked,'What is this NK??..'
He squeezed his eyebrows and asked,'What??..'
'You sent a marriage proposal to my home??..' I said straight forward..I don't want to play with it anymore..
He looked down for a moment and then said something which gave me a chock almost,Yes almost as he said..'I want to marry you..'
I mean seriously!! Though I appreciate his straight forward approach,I was little shocked, after recovering from it I asked him,'Why??..Since when?? Why didn't you tell me anything and dared to send a marriage proposal to my home?..'
'Relax Khushi don't get hyper..' He paused and I take a deep breath then he continued,'I know you very well you are kind, sweet, and generous person.. You told me few days back you are not dating anyone..'
I sighed remembering I shared this information with him few days back when I refused to go to a dinner with him and he jokingly asked me if I have any plans for dinner with my boyfriend..
'That doesn't mean, you will send a marriage proposal to my home..Just because I don't have a boyfriend doesn't mean I am looking for a husband..' I said little loudly..
He looked here and there as people were looking at us..This place was little crowded mostly by my office employees, as it's lunch time then he said,'Sorry Khushi,I didn't mean to hurt you..It's just I really like you and your neighbor is happened to be my aunt..when my mother told her about you she recognized you and suggested this, she said your mother is looking for a groom..I didn't have any problem with that'
'NK you know everything about me, still you want to marry me..Why??' I asked surprisingly.. NK was very good friends with me and Arnav..He witnessed a lot of our romantic moments still he wants to marry me..
He smiled a little,'Khushi, why are you still thinking about all this??..it's all in past,I also had a past, every one has a past but I moved on, why can't you??..'
I rubbed my forehead thinking about it, I remembered Maithali, NK's girlfriend..Maithali was our classmate and they broke up because Maithali wanted to be a model and she thought NK and his family will not go with her plan..NK was really heartbroken at that point and you know who consoles him..It was Arnav and me.. we gave him a lot of our time to cheer him up..when Arnav broke my heart, NK went to see him, to make him understand he is doing wrong with me but Arnav clearly said that he doesn't want to be with me anymore.. NK was furious at Arnav for breaking my heart and he cut his friendship with him..Wow!! Life is indeed unpredictable, this same NK is proposing me for marriage..
