Note: Raman's convo with mom is flashback. I guess it is not very clear in the update
Part 18
"Meri zindagi me
Ajnabi ka intezar hai
Mai kya karun
Ajnabi se mujhe pyar hai"
Did she just say that!?
Yes it was her!
Raman's POV
Love at first sight! Sounds so cliché
I, being a very practical person, was never excited by such ideas until I lay my eyes on her.
The moment I saw her, I knew she was the one.
People who knew me would never believe that a person with rough exterior like me could fall in love. Deeply, madly and irrevocably in love.
It might seem so unreal that I fell in love with someone who I do not know, but still know. Does that make any sense???? Let me explain!
Who is she? Where is she?
When I ask myself these questions, some weird answers come up.
Who is she?
Where is she?
And then some more questions with logical answers make way
Does she know me?
Does she remember me?
Does she love me?
Wanna know why?
Simple logic: How could a person know, remember and love a person whom she has never seen!
Makes sense??? Yeah she has never seen me!
It would be plain stupid to expect her to know, remember and love me.
These were the thoughts I was going through when my chirpy, bubbly and full of life Mom Santoshi Bhalla AKA Toshijicame with my dry-cleaned clothes.
As against her usual smiling demeanor, she had a big frown on her face.
"Kya hua Maa? Sab theek hai?" I asked out of concern still sitting on my bed resting against the headrest.
"Kya khaah theek hai. Jis umar me bachhe maa-baap ki seva karte hain, us umar me mai apne bachoon ki seva kar rahi hun"
Drama Queen I rolled my eyes. She is definitely upto some emotional blackmailing.
"Kya kya socha tha maine ke mera beta bada hojayega to mujhe ghar ke sare kaam se aram milega aur Bhallaji ke sath apni jawani me miss kiye hue lamhe jee paungi. Kaam kar karke mera kamar toot raha hai. Tu meri kamar dabane ki jagah, khud ki kamar mujhse dabwa raha hai. Sharam nahi ati tujhe?"
"Maa maine kaha than a ke nurse rakh wa lete hain. Aap hi ne zidd karke mana kiya tha ke gharwalon ki tarah baharwale khayal nahi rakh sakte"
"Jhoot thodi na bola tha. Ab ek baharwali nurse tera khayal rakhegi? Wo kuch ghanton keliye, kuch paison keliye apne tareeqe se seva karegi. Seva to wo sahi kar payegi jo full-time isi duty pe lagi ho"
"To full-time nurse rakh lete"
"Chup kar khote de puttar. Is ghar me mera koi khayal nahi rakta. Mai hi mari jati hun sabki fikr me. Kisi ko meri fikr nahi hai"
"Maa point pe ajao. Kya chahiye?" I asked knowing she had some hidden motive.
The look on her face when she heard me ask this was like a kid who got his favourite candy. She rushed to my side on the bed and held my arm.
