FRIENDSHIP-LOVE--LOVE-FRIENDSHIP

'I think we should talk once in a week now,' she said. I was surprised. All of a sudden why was she talking like that? My obvious reaction was, 'what? why? what happened?'.

'I am worried about you.'

'And why so ?'

'kyu matlab, muze darr lag raha hai.' she replied.

And I was seriously confused, what the hell was she trying to tell. I had no idea and not a single clue. Alright now, to be clear on my side, I am going for my higher studies in few months. The place where I will be going is not yet decided, (as usual, still confused). So I am trying to talk to her as much as I can and as long as I am in India. Who knows when I go, how often we could talk.

And now talking about her reply, was she afraid of talking to me? Or just me? I said,'darr, what the hell are you talking? Of what? Me?'. My every sentence had lots and lots of questions.

'No, of course not you, what I am trying to say is, if you miss me too much and keep going like this, I am afraid, you would start feeling for me in a different way, to be very specific, I think, you would fall in love with me.' She gave the explanation to her statement. And I must say, really a very specific explanation.

Man, I was bowled, clean bowled. I went of out words which I had learnt since I was born.

''Oye, noway, I mean.. , how can you.. , no.. , no, why do u think like this, you are my best friend, and will always be, the relationship we share is never going to change, we will be like this forever.' I tried to prevent myself.

'You even said that you would not miss me, but your behavior is quite ironic to what you said, isn't it ?' Now she had started to raise questions.

'Hey, common now, missing is friend is not a big deal, it is normal'

'No doubt it is, but the way you are behaving, it is not at all normal.'

Now what was I suppose to say? 'No.' I shouted.

'Yes you are.' Came the reply at the lightning speed.

'See, believe me, I am not going to change or rather my feelings are not going to change.' I said, as I had to say something to stop her from that topic.

'I hope,' she said and continued, 'hey have to go now, bbye, and again, I just hope.' And cut the call.

'I also just hope that I don't.' I said to my self and continued with my work.
