One Fated encounter ✓

Yes, I am Possessive!

          
Arjun's POV:

She smiled and I chuckled at my own feelings... People would have slipped in nice curves of girls, I have not slipped not even once seeing nicest curves of girl, but now I realized I have fallen hard on the curve that she has, yes! The curve that appears on her face, when she smiles beautifully that ends perfectly with the tiny little dent.

I don't think I can resist myself from falling for it. The last few hours, I was on extreme pain, the kind of pain that I would not be able to explain. When she cried and suffocated with each breathe, I died multiple times that I was not even sure what to do.

"What are you doing here? At this hour? When did you even come??? Are you crazy?", she started shooting her questions with her gaze locked at mine

"You look amazingly beautiful", I said

"Do you have a problem understanding the questions?", she asked trying to hide the smile

"I can't really say is that the Moon which is shining or you"

She gave a deadly stare and said "Ok, you stay there and keep watching the Moon, am going in"

"Dimple, wait wait... Let me capture you in my eyes all I want, I missed you crazily"

"Oh please, don't act. Can you please leave now? Its freezing cold and you are there wearing thin shirt" she said concerned

"Am not at all feeling cold, instead am actually burning Dimple, why don't you try warming me up"

"You dirty rascal" she chuckled

"Hey, I said, why don't you give a smile which will warm up my heart? See you are not thinking straight" I mocked and she leaned on the balcony wall

"Fine...fine. Now you go home, we can talk later"
"I will.. after you confirm something"
"What?"
"So are we good to start fresh" I asked
"Hmm..." she turned facing her back to me and my heartbeat started racing badly worried deep what if what if...
"When did we even end things to start fresh?" she asked casually.
I nearly fell over in elation, could not contain my joy, I shouted "Oh Really Dimple!"

"Shhh!" she looked at me signaling me to stay low and continued "But there is one thing I want from you...can you not be so possessive?"

"Possessive??? Who? Me? Ha ha ha, Dimple what made you to think I am possessive?"

"Are you not? Then are you jealous? Why did you treat Arun like that? He is my best friend since my high school and he is like my family. Because of the way you treated me, now he doesn't like you" her voice sounded concerned

"Dimple, let me tell you something...the feeling is mutual"
"What"
"I don't like him too"
"psst. You don't need to like him, but he is my friend, I want you to understand that. Any issues?"

Yes, there is...I am not at all comfortable you being with him for the reasons which am not sure. Arjun, you would not be able to tell her that now. My inner voice warned me. I have decided not to talk about that now.

"Hmmm. I don't have any issues. Look, am not a control freak or possessive...and I am not jealous of your relationship with him, I just lost my cool back then when you chose him over me, that's it"

"How can you even ask to choose between relationships? That too...in front of him. Don't you even consider how he would feel?"

"Why can't I? What is wrong in asking you to choose? If he is a friend, can't he understand you? You said earlier he understands you well", I sneered at her.

"Oh, understanding? Then when I chose him, why couldn't you understand?"
"Madam, am now here...understanding the fact that you chose him"
"Arjun, please understand. I didn't chose him, well I don't need to choose between both of you...he is my best friend who has seen me through thick and thin"
"Best friend, close friend, special friend, enough Dimple...I didn't really ask you to stop talking to him..All I want is you to give priority to me and I don't think am wrong anyway", I said annoyingly
"Priority?"
"Yes, I don't want you to treat both of us equal"

"See, you are getting jealous now, how will you prioritise in relationship" she asked innocently
"Have you not done that, liking someone more than others? Who do you like more your mom or dad? Don't tell me that you like them both..am sure you would like them equally but there will be a slight difference in your priority..Don't you?"
"That's Different"
"How can it be different...see you do have someone you like most among your parents"
"Ok, tell me now if I and your Mom fell into water and you can only save one person. Who do you save?"
" What kind of question is this?"
"Oh, come on Mr. Arjun, you said it's ok to have the priority right. isn't it, now do you understand it is difficult to priorities"
"You!"
"What? What did you say"
"I said I will save you"
"You want me to believe this? Don't bluff...how can you say you will choose me over your Mom. Are you insane?"
"Am not! I will save you because my mom knows to swim"

"Ha ha ha, how smart!, if I ask you what if she can't swim then you won't be able to answer. See, now you understand what am referring...everyone is important for us and we really cannot say who you will put it up on your priority scale and make the other suffer"

"Ok Mam, I got it. Can we just leave this topic" I said in an irritated tone.

Am standing in a freezing cold and talking to her wherein she is lecturing me that she would put me and that fellow in same place. Wow, Arjun, you have gone mad really, I felt so wretched and my heart suddenly became very heavy.

"Arjun, Its already very late, can you please go home...I guess the sun is going to rise soon" she said
"Hmmm, I will" I could not say anything more
"Bye! Call me once reach home" her voice sounded distant all of a sudden

We waved good bye and I saw her going back to the room.

I could not move a bit, I felt my legs were rooted to the ground. How can she compare my Mom to him? I really don't want to end this day with how I feel now, but she has gone back without even worried about me. I felt like a kid who's just lost his treasured toy.

My phone rang! It's from her. I looked up and she stood in the balcony

"What happened, why are you not leaving?" she asked concerned
"nothing"
"Something is wrong, you are not sounding good, tell me what it is" she stressed

"I am Jealous, I am possessive. Yes! Am very possessive about you and I don't have any control over that" I screamed without even thinking about the consequences and she remained quiet.

I knew am hurting her now which I clearly don't want to...I felt am the most stupid person in the world to expect something which I know I should not be.

"Am sorry Dimple, I just said how I felt. I was hurt a bit. That's it. I will be alright soon. You go in" I said not looking at her.

She disconnected the call and gone back without uttering a word. I knew I had screwed it up big time now and am sure she must be cursing me out at my audacity. I was contemplating to call her back or not...even if I call her now, would I be able to convince her, I was not sure. If I speak to her now I am confident that I would make it more complicated.

She must have got disappointed that I turned into everything that I said I would never be - an awful creature who is jealous, over protective and possessive!
