The phone blinked for the 6th time now. I picked it up.
"What's wrong with you ?" - said the concerned voice on the other end.
"Nothing, I was busy" - I protested.
I have been trying hard not to think about her for a few months now.
"I know you very well. What is that's bothering you ?" - she enquired.
"Nothing" - trying my best to act as aloof as possible.
"Fine, be murky. What are you doing on April 15th ?"
"I don't know. I don't plan my day 6 months in advance."
"I'm getting married !....
Hello ?
No comments ?
Are you there ?"
I was there. But I was unable to think or speak, for that matter.
"Helllloooo ?"
"Yes, It's good. I mean Congrats, great news" - and I kept the phone down.
I couldn't speak anything sensible. I couldn't even comprehend what was happening.
She called again. And again.
I am incapable of handling situations like this. I'm always at a loss of words.
She was my friend.
I was supposed to be happy. For her.
But I was sad. Was it because she was more than a friend ?
How could I be happy knowing she could never be mine ?
