Walking into his room, Ram slumped on the bed when something caught his mind. Uneasy, he sat up on the bed, "Shit!! I lied."
"Jaan ne bhi haan bol di hai," his heartbeat rose as a thousand situations swirled in his mind.
Pacing around the room, he thought of the possible next step.
His steps halted, "Par ye to purani baat hai, kya farak padta hai ab," he thought of an excuse and exhaled, visibly relaxed.
That's when his gaze fell on his reflection in the mirror, "What if we get married? Dr. Priya has to know the truth before making a decision." His subconsciousness didn't allow him to remain relaxed for a longer time.
Walking closer to the mirror, "Ram, we have to do this," he gave himself a pep talk before taking out his phone.
His finger fluttered over the call button under the name Dr. Priya.
"Kahi busy na ho, message ker deta hu," he thought and opened the message box, "Par message mai batana shi rahega?"
He finally decided to ask for a call over the message.
Dr.Priya
Hello dr.priya
I wanted to talk about something. Can we call ?
An hour passed and then two, but no response, making his anxiety reach the roof high.
It was 11:30 when his phone rang, and without a second's delay, he picked it up, walking up to the balcony.
Exhaling loudly, he finally brought the phone closer to his ear, "Hello, Dr. Priya."
"Hello, Mr. Kapoor, all fine with Shalini aunty?" came her concerned voice.
"Han, Jaan is all good... I just wanted to tell you something related to our today's meeting," he spoke fearfully.
"Ji, bataiye," she asked, looking up at the sky, trying to remember if anything went wrong today.
"I... uhh actually lied to you," he finally spoke after a long pause.
Her heart palpitated as she remained quiet, her thoughts racing at the speed of light.
Inhaling deeply, gathering courage, "I wasn't dumped but got cheated on," he confessed in a single breath.
"Ohh... oo," came her reply after almost a minute.
His anxiety increased multiple folds, waiting for her to say something more.
After about a minute, not able to take the silence, he finally spoke, "aap mana kar sakti hai "
"Aap chahte hai main mana karu?" she questioned, looking at her fingers which tapped on the railing, awaiting his response.
"Haan....nahi.....Hain? Ek second, apne suna na maine kya kaha? I got cheated on and I lied to you," he spoke, frowning deeply.
"Han suna," she spoke with normalcy.
"To?"
"To?"
