The way it goes

My girlfriend was grumpy when I met her yesterday. I was trying to recollect the reason, which might have freaked her out. Something I had done or the way I behaved, a commitment I breached, what was it? After a dead pause of few minutes I decided to break the silence.

“Out with it, whatz wrong sweetheart?” I whispered in her ear
“Just don’t talk to me” she yelled
“Chill babe! At least tell me why are you so freaked out?” I questioned her with authority
“Ya, exactly, now ask me why am I angry. You don’t even understand the way you hurt me” she lamented
“Ok, now tell me na” I said
“You are so busy with your professional life, new house and friends that you don’t even have time for me” she cried
“Hey when did this happen? I though everything was going on fine, suddenly this feeling of insecurity?” I asked
“Just the other day, you were hanging out with your friends at Apache and I called, you didn’t even talk to me properly” she gave me a nasty look.
“Come on, the other day even you hung up, so I guess we leveled now?”
“Don’t talk to me, go and work, go”

And then I remembered, all the conversation raced through my mind like water gushing out of Khadakwasala when they open the gates. Look at the amazing antithesis.

Scene 1: I am with my friends at Apache

Cell : Miss Special calling .. Pehela Nasha ringtone . Miss Specials eyes as thumbnail.
I : Hello
She : Hi!!!!!
I : What are you doing
She : Waiting for tomorrow, to meet you sweetz
I : Me 2
She : You are having beer again?
I : Again, it was a WEEK back when we had one
She : NO, its not a WEEK back, its JUST A WEEK BACK
I : Just one simple, innocuous beer. (Well we never stop at one, but this line brings in awesome
emotions). So shall we talk tomorrow?
She : No, I want to talk to you just now
I : We are meeting tomorrow na?
She : Still, I want to talk to you just now, tomorrow and day after also (in a childish tone)
I : It’s my friend’s farewell sweetheart
She : So? You can’t talk to me?
I : Our conversation seldom ends in 5 min
She : I am your girl friend
I : Yeah, but we are meeting tomorrow, so we can always talk then
She : But I want to talk to you just now. I don’t care where you are
I : Try to understand
She : I don’t want to understand
I : Please
She : NO
I : Ok, now I will hang up
She : Look at you, least bothered, you wait and watch tomorrow
I : Hehe, good night, love you
She : ME 2 (when she is angry she won’t say love you 2, it ends with me 2)

Scene 2: She is with her friends and I call

Cell : Neha. calling .. regular ringtone.. no thumbnail (that dot distinguishes me from
the real Neha)
I : Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She : Neha is coming, I can’t talk right now, bye bye bye bye, Click
I : ?????????????????????????????????

The DJ plays Linking Park – Numb ……………..

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
I've become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me, and be less like you

Well that’s how it goes. Their wish is our command, our wish is their profanation.
