"The Paradigm...theory of similar occurrences. You see, everywhere, there is a pattern..."
Suchi:"God...you are so boring"
Me: "Hey...ever wondered what could happen if there is a sudden change...a shift?"
Suchi:"The Earth never complains...there is sunrise and there will be sunset"
The sun did set...soon...I always love the view. She was somehow right...Earth never complains; we don't too on most occasions.
We plan this every weekend....sitting beside the lake,holding each other and looking at the infinite sky.
Suchi:"Hey,your parents know about us?"
Me: "Um mm...I didn't yet."
Suchi:"Then make time...when will you?
...uh....I am going home."
...uh....I am going home."
Me: "Common...stay for some time...I will tell once I reach home tomorrow ok. Please now...let's not ruin this. We can watch the stars until the sun begins to rise..."
Suchi:"The keys..."
How amazing is it. You are the lion of the whole jungle but then become a pet dog in front of her. Being helpless, I gave her the keys of our place.
Oh I forgot:
We have been living together for some months now; away from everyone with just the two of us, starting our lives together.
But I don't understand the point why she has to go home now. I was ready to tell her that I want to take our relationship to the next level; making it permanent...married. I was so excited for this moment. But perhaps I started off wrong. I mean being in a relationship and living in together to being married is indeed a paradigm shift in itself right?
Nevertheless it now started raining now. Hey! the weather was just so awesome.
Suchi (laughing): "Ha ha...see, even the gods were getting bored."
Gesturing her tongue towards me; she found the rain quite amusing. The smile I would die for!
I find Bollywood movies as quite amazing.Sudden rain sparks a rapid romance. Innumerous songs are written on this very moment.
"Hey wait for me!"
Seems like I missed the "moment" here. Very sad indeed. I ran to catch up and then...
Suchi: "Stop that stupid smile of yours"
Me: "Common...now don't get mad. What did I do know?"
Suchi: "Manav, its about time we decide on something"
Me: "Exactly,coffee would be great!"
She gives me "the look" and we go inside after a long walk of silence.
Me: "Hey...The coffee's great!"
There was a utter silence...storm's coming.
Me: "What happened?"
Suchi: "Seriously, I am not doing this without both sides agreeing to it"
Me: "Do what?" I thought it would lighten the mood a little but as always I just couldn't perceive the signs.
Suchi: "See Manav. I am getting old..."
Me(smiling): "Me too...we all are!"
Suchi: "That's not the point...anyway you are too dumb too understand. We want us to be with each other and now..."
Me: "We are together. Aren't we?"
Suchi: "Let me finish!"
I can see her losing her patience. It's very scary to have a pissed off girl by your side...very.
Suchi: "My parents called. Maybe they want me to see some guy...to be my prospective groom."
Me: "Oh...don't you play the marriage card on me. Makes me uncomfortable."
Suchi: "You want us to be together and then you are uncomfortable with even the word of tying the knot. What is wrong with you?"
Me: "It's just not the right time to get married(sigh)"
Suchi: "Did you even tell your parents that we live together?"
Me: "Where are we going with this? Common. You too didn't even tell your parents about me...What's with that?"
Suchi: "Kind of...but you should have introduced them to me in person"
Me: "What's that supposed to mean?"
Suchi: "Nothing"
This is not helping at all. We are all over the wrong place.
Me: "Fine...this is going over my head. I have a flight to catch early morning"
Suchi: "Huh...I will go to my parents too. And yes; see the guy if possible..idiot!"
Me: "Yeah, maybe my mom has some girls to see for me too"
Suchi: "Manav! I will scratch your eyes!"
Me(winking): "I will tell you more about them"
I can be a jerk sometimes...but she was not helping too. Sometimes it gets very hard to relate to when she jumps from being silly to being serious. So many years we have known each other, but even then I can't get through this.
Mom:"Why not? You are our only son...it's been days I didn't see you. Oh...look at you. You have become so lean"
It is just priceless to see your mother smile because of you. It's hard to explain how her reaction changed when she saw me coming out of the lobby.
I will always be the child for her.
Me: "Happy Mother's Day Mom"
Nothing beats a mom-hug and kiss to the cheek. I was missing this so much.
Dad: "You didn't bring her along?"
Yes...if this confuses you. It should....my dad knew about her.
There was a brief silence among us. "umm...she went to her parents home"
Both my parents did a "hmm..."
Its when others do it that you realize how terrible "hmm" sounds like.
Dad: "Hey let's go home"
Me: "Absolutely"
Me: "Huh...what happened?"
Suchi: "Nothing...In a hurry"

Mom:"How is the fish?"
Me: "Your cooking ma...it's the best ever"
Mom: "Have as much you can...you don't have these often I presume"
Dad: "Huh...my mom used to cook better!"
Me: "Hey,but you still lick your finger after you have your meal."
Mom: "See,my golden boy"
Me(laughing): "...and your golden boy will bring a golden bride for you one day"
I guess silence is the word here. Both of them were looking at me like I said something shocking. I mean it is a bit...but still.Perhaps it is still early?
I finished my dinner "silently"
The next day...someplace outside. I went out of home for hours;mainly to meet my friends(trust me there will be a story on this) and then bringing home some sweets for the guests arriving today.
My Mom tells me that I should definitely meet them. Acquaintances-the ones you know are there but never quite really there;they keep on coming now. Funny I never saw them when I was a kid or when I was growing up!
I was missing Suchi now.I left the reunion and called her straightaway.
Me: "Hey"
Me: "Your cooking ma...it's the best ever"
Mom: "Have as much you can...you don't have these often I presume"

Me: "Hey"
Suchi: "Yeah speak"
Me: "Huh...what happened?"
Suchi: "Nothing...In a hurry"
Me(smirking): "Just to let you know...the girls were pretty great"
Suchi: "hmm..."
Me: "What hmm...you jealous?"
Suchi: "Me? It's you who should be now considering I am close to that guy's house"
Me: "ohh..."
Suchi: "What now...cat's got your tongue?" (laughing)
Me: "and you are laughing to this...wow"
Suchi: "Idiot!(smiling)...I will talk to you later ok"
Me: "Hey but wait..." and she cut the phone...just like that.
Well that went great! All these years and then one random guy comes in...enough to make you uncomfortable.
I got a text from her soon "At least be convincing enough..." and a winking smiley.
"Sir,your package..." the shopkeeper was ready with the sweets.
Me: "Ahh...yes..thankyou"
So many sweets, confectioneries. My mom told me previously that my arrival will bring a swarm of relatives at home. He he...it's pretty nice to get some attention.
Life is twisted. I returned home to see my dad greeting me with a wide smile.
Me:"What happened?"
Dad(smiling): "You tell me"
Me: "I am not getting...here have the sweets"
I went inside...yes I got it why he was smiling...Suchi! She was not alone though...her parents were here. It's pretty shocking. At least I should have known about this. I am not saying that it is not weird...it is. But one look at her...how can I be mad...like ever.
We were talking...silently...through the eyes.
"What happened beta?...you are not telling anything!" her parents seemed confused
I was looking at her the whole time...gazed by her beauty. My god...she looks great in a saree-blue to be exact; little pink lipstick and a tiny white bindi. Exquisite!
She was screaming through her eyes to look towards them,at least to talk to them and I had that I don't care face. Anyway I had to and so it begins!
Later that day I found the time for her to be alone...seemingly. She was passing by the balcony to take a look around my house. I grabbed her and took her inside my room.
Me: "You...you are a very crazy girl"
Suchi: "And you are the dumbest guy...like ever"
Me: "Is that so...other guy huh...why all the drama back home then?"
Suchi(smiling) : "He he...I was just having fun."
Me: "That was pretty intense for me"
Suchi: "Hey...it takes millions of people to complete the world,but it only takes you to complete mine"
Me: "Oho...tell me why I should not kiss you right now?"
Suchi(laughing): "Who stopped you?"
Ahem...
We were interrupted by my dad and oh my god...there's mom too. It is such an embarrassment.
"I will just see where my parents are" Suchi slowly moved out. I was left with my mom staring right through me and then there is my dad, giving me thumbs up and standing right behind her.
Me: "I can explain"
Mom: "Hmmm...don't. We like her"
Me: "Ohh...like really?"
The smile...slightly fading at first but then you know its there,waiting to come out...and then it is finally there.
Funny how things pan out. Phew!
