“What?”

“Really?”

“What did you say?”

“What did he?”

“Oh my god! That’s news!!”

“So? Then?”

Divya shrieked out without any pause. A mixed expression of excitement and disgust showed up on her face.

She doesn’t like him for she’s seen me go through it right from the earliest phases. (Phases? Phases of what? At times, all this sounds so un-cool to me! Would I ever admit that I am missing his response to my correspondence so much? Of course I am missing, no doubt. Or I feel frantic that I am not being responded to, sounds like I am not worthy enough to bother sitting down and replying- Is that what is called missing? No, but I think of other things too. The few months we spent together and all the fun. I think of it and write about it too. My poems have this solemn touch to it these days and that makes people feel I’m getting more elegiac and classical in English.)


For what followed, was something I half expected? The series of perplexing thoughts and a disturbed mind lured me to ring up Sean and the conversation, brief and alien, as it sounded, both in reality and in my impervious description, drove Divya crazy and she ended up wailing her no-mercy for my deed. Vidya had nothing to say.


I ended up repeating the conversation so many times each time adding my different assumption about his situation, that I ended up confusing them too. I knew I was being biased and made it sound like he really was unable to talk to me properly, but that couldn’t justify the background hollers from guys teasing him, and I am very sure I heard my name too. I remember he’d said, “Pin, Shut up.”

I remembered that nick.


I remember seeing that name among his friend’s lists in some social networking site, but I couldn’t help feeling that he definitely hadn’t forgotten me.


Else, why would he have mentioned my name to some new friend of his. Guys don’t always do this talk about their old friends thing, not in detail at least. Why was there such a late answering of the call? He paused for a moment, and got back on the line after which there was persistent screeching and teasing in the background.


A queasy feeling ate me up, but didn’t prevent me from telling Divya that that I felt nice talking to him, but he’s busy and that I understood it.



Yes. I guess understand very well.



About what’s “actually” happening.

:P

Hey Chevy,
