The Darker Side

Chapter- 11

Next day, around 3 pm, he came. My mom was talking to my dad about her younger brother Rajeeb and his job. She was bragging about his new job and how successful he was and I was left with no other option but to listen to her discussion. "Hello! Aunty .. Hie Boss( Sameer would always call my dad boss)", Sameer stepped in with a great excitement.

"O..O ..Come come SAM!" my mom exclaimed!

" Look at this lousy girl!" Dad jeered.

He laughed, " What are you guys talking about?"

I smiled and gave him you-are-trapped-mister look. Because once anyone asks my mom about her discussion it'd gave her full liberty to speak her heart out no matter the other person is willing to listen to her or not.

He just rolled his eyes.

As soon as I saw them getting busy with their talk I was happy because it was perfect time to escape from my mum's boastful discussion on his younger brother as well as from him. I head straight to my room ignoring everyone on their face. Sameer noticed me going drastically but he couldn't ignore my mum's sitting there and watching my moves as a bystander.

After sometime he knocked my door.

And I understood that it's my time to get shackled with his questions. I opened the door and acted as normal as I could but unfortunately my normal behavior became over-acting.  Because I din't face him nor did I ask him anything except to SIT. And I went and sat on my bed.

 After awhile he got up took a pillow from my bed and directly aimed my head and unlike other countries our Indian pillows are made so heavy that sometimes one can use it as a replacement of rocks. So as soon as it hit me I visualised myself in a slow-motion falling vertically upright  on my bed. I removed the pillow from my  face and came back to my previous sitting position.

"What is it you mannerless creature?" I shouted

"Go and get yourself ready we need to go it's already late. Dare you don't give me that I-dont-know-what-your-talking-about look. It's Priya's ( his cousin)birthday. C'mon now!"

"OOH! YES, Wait! I'll just get ready." I kept aside his thoughts and rushed towards my cupboard took out my dress and ran to the washroom.

After 30mins , I was ready . I wore a casual dress with a little high black pump-shoe and I was done. And we were out for Priya's birthday. It took 15mins to reach her house.  We didn't know what to gift her so we'd decided to take her next day for shopping. So, within that 15 minutes we have had talked of everything and it was so common. For awhile it went out of my mind that Sameer wants me to be his girlfriend.

But the irony was that we never talked of coming into relationship again. It just happened . Neither of us discussed anything about the previous night nor coming into relationship. And the reason why we had never discussed because we were already into it and for which no official thing was needed.  Nothing changed. No changes in our behaviour  and it was really good. I was glad because I always hated those cheesy words COUPLES likes to use on each other. And being with Sameer was equal to being the real you.
