I got out of the shower and checked my phone. Anu had called. I called her back.
"Hey" I said when she picked up.
"Jiju..matlab..jo bhi hai" she blurted. My mind went back to the thought of Taani not being in my life no more.
"Tumare maan kare toh Jiju hi boldo" I joked.
"Acha??" she asked. "Chalo chodo...Di ko wapas apna banane ka kya plan hai?" The thought flew by me that Taani was out of the story.
"Mein kya karun?..woh khud aayegi mere paas" I said arrogantly.
"Acha..yeh mat bhulo ke woh hi chod ke gayi thi aapko" she bragged.
"Woh toh uski fault hai..." I said.
"Acha suno..maazak maat karo...di ke liye pata nahin kitne rishthe aaye hein" she blurted and I felt scared.
"Phir mana kardo na" I told her.
"oh acha haan. Mere mein toh itni power hai na" she said sarcastically.
"Haan toh apni bhen ko bolo na..ke mere jaise larka use kabhi milega nahin" I joked.
"Jiju..matlab jo bhi hai.." She said but I cut her off.
"kya baar baar jiju bolne se tumhe pain aata hai" I asked.
"Matlab??" she asked.
"matlab mein tumara jiju hun toh bolne mein kya galt hai? I asked.
"Jiju actually na shaadi ke baad banta hai koi" she said annoyed.
"Haan toh fiance ko bhi toh bolte hai?" I joked.
"Haan isliye aapko nahin bolungi aur jo mere hone wale Jiju hai na..unko bolunge" She said.
"Araay pagli..mujhe nahin bolegi..par apne hone wale jiju ko boli gi toh mujhe hi toh bol rahin hai na..tera hone wala jiju mein hi toh hun" I joked
"Haan..jab Di ki shaadi ho jayegi na kisi aur se, phir bolne aur haste rehne. Maazak ka baara shounk hai na" she said sarcastically
"Kya bol rahi hai..kyun hoye gi Anjali ki shaadi?" I asked
Uncle and Aunty were sitting on the couch drinking water when they noticed me.
"Shehry betaa...keso ho??[' he said happily.
"aap batayen..bade kush lag rahein hai??" I asked.
"Haan kyun nahin honga..meri Anjali ke liye itna acha rishtha aaya hai" he said and i dont know why but my stomach sulked in. I excused myself and went behind the counter.
"Araay dekh naa" Uncle said handing Dad the photo and dad smiled. "Larka toh ekdam fit hai" Dad commented.
"Araay maha beta..yahan aou..apni bhen ke liye ek larka toh pasand kardo" uncle joked with her and thats when I got the idea.
Uncle showed her the photo and I tried getting her attention. She stared at me confused. I crossed my arms and nodded 'no' and she repeated after me.
"Nahin Uncle yeh wale nahin" she said and I smiled.
Uncle got another photo. "Yeh???" he asked her and she looked at me as I said no again.
"Nahin uncle" she said and I laughed. Suddenly I realized Dad was looking at me. I coughed preteninf to drimk water and then just ran upstairs. Oh shoot! dad ne dekh liye toh?? I thought.

3 WEEKS LATER
I never heard anything about Anjali's rishtha no more but Anu had called me several times. Last week they sent Anjali a photo but she hadn't replyed yet.
I headed downstairs to grab an apple and the home phone rang.
"Kesi hai" Mom talked to Aunty and then put the speaker on as she washed her hands.
"Kuch nahin...aap bhaisaab ko bulaye apne saath aur dono yeh kush kabhri ki baat suniye" She said and I got excited.
"Jaldi boliye kya baat hai" Dad asked and Hussain walked over too.
"Humari Anjali...Anjali ne larka pasand kar liye!" Aunty screamed and right then I dropped my apple choking on it and rushed upstairs. I could see staring at me confused from the corner of his eye but I didnt care. I was about to close the door behind me when Hussain popped in too.
I dropped on the bed throwing my phone at the bed.
"bhaii..gussa mat kar" he said but I couldnt control.
"Kya Hussain...mujhse galti hi kya hui thi...aur agar hui bhi thi toh kitni baar usse maafi bhi mang chuka hun...aise kya guna kiya mene" I asked him and he had no answer.
"Pata hai mujhe kyun choda usne...isliye kyunki Taani chahthi thi ke mein usko hoja hun...par aab toh Taani ki bhi story out of the box ho gayi hai...aise kese mujhe...how can she forget me in just two months??" I ranted and for the first time I was crying.
"Yaar yaad hein phele mein kabhi in chakaro mein phasta hi nahin tha..phele toh mein yeh bolta tha na ke mujhe kabhi pyaar nahin hoga...woh hi sahi tha yaar..mujhe kya pata ek pal ki kushi ke liye..itna dukh be sain karna parta hai...kyun phasa mein is pyaar ke chakar mein" I regretted and then Dad walked in.
"Kyun ro raha hai?" he asked immeditely seeing my tears.
"Kuch nahin dad..woh apple phas gaye tha na..isliye chaasi aa rahin thi...aankhon mein paani aagaye bas" I made a excuse. He didn't seem to buy it but he still left thank god. I closed my eyes and Hussain left too and before you knew it, I knocked out
