For him, the remark was casually made. She is going to read a lot more from it.

Like they were drugged on each other

“My Ajji is making me crazy”

“AJJI is?” he winked

“I told her I am crazy about you, she says we should get married”

“Did you tell her this is just a fling?” he said

Pankaja Vyas stared at his words

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Itch

“Wdym” she said slowly

“Just tell her the truth” Indy insisted

That moment she knew there was nothing

Her heart broke into a million pieces

She hadn’t confessed love but it sure felt like it.

“You don’t want to be serious?”

“You mean monogamous?”

“Are you not?” every pore of her body was on fire, she was so angry…. Where does he get the stamina from?

I am worn out seeing him every 3 days…. What is this guy made of?

“Sure I am monogamous… but why is your Ajji making you crazy?”

“she thinks I am invested and occupied and feels I should be married”

“She is definitely from the 20th century” he scoffed

“Please don’t mock her” Punky was angry

“I am sorry I didn’t mean to” “It came out wrong, just saying, things are different these days”

“Things huh?”

“What is going on?” he caught on suddenly

“Nothing”

He called at the hour

“I had a call sorry, what is going on”

“Nothing… its late… I am going to bed”

“Sure, do you want to meet over the weekend?”

“Umm.. I don’t think so”

“Oh?”

“I don’t think we should”

“Why?”

“I think we should take a break”

“Break?”

“Hmm… I need to sort things out with Ajji”

“what is this about”

“She wants me to get married Indy”

“You can… tell her you will”

“I can talk to her I don’t need quotes” she was acidic

“Why are you ticked”

“You want this to be a fling don’t you?”

“Don’t YOU?”

‘What if I don’t”

“Excuse me… What if there is something more?”

“Whoaaa?”

“U know what?”

“Did “I” mislead you? Havent I always been saying we need to get together”

“Its an ITCH?” she lost it

She found herself shaking… the winds were picking up, she was outside in the verandah

“Please don’t put words I didn’t say”

“This is just a fling?”

“I never said I will marry you… once was enough”

“You didn’t… lekin MUJHE karni hai shaadi Indy”

“With ME?” he almost laughed out loud

“NO… to a man willing to commit and go all the way” she said firmly, though tears came

“And you discovered this while havinga good time with me?”

“Kyun? I cannot think of anything except you or what?” she scoffed

“You want the guy to be ME?” he was incredulous

“No I want the guy to be decent and be in LOVE with me… you don’t check either boxes”

She hung up

Her anger was unreasonable, he hadn’t mislead her or cheated on her or lied to her or gave her false promises

But his mockery of her urge to get married stung… stung like h---

She leaned on the front gate and cried

“What a fool I have been, he feels nothing” she sobbed

Indy needs to answer these questions truthfully to himself.

If not, he can let her go.

But if he does, he needs to convince her that he does.

Good, now the path ahead is clear.

Who wants what is put in open.

One of them has to agree with the other.

Or it is the end.

Since it’s story we know what the end is 😉.

But eager to see how Nisha ends it for them.

For her it was never just a fling. No words were spoken but she had some hope in her heart.

She is totally withdrawing now and he is at a loss why that is happening. He has no idea what his words did to her.

Its not that he feels nothing. He feels all right. Is he scared to commit though? Still scarred from his past.

All her hopes and dreams have been shattered. He is not to blame but it did end up being that way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Throw a ring

She threw herself into work, she researched how she could go work in the evenings privately with some coaching center, Engineering prep coaching classes etc.

She found out policy on what rules governed her teaching non school youth.

He texted her a couple times asking if other dates worked for her, she kept it civil and told him she was slammed due to annual exams. She didn’t know how she was goingt o handle seeing him more than once a week until Final exam day

She begged the coaching office to switch her with some other tutor, they basically laughed “You are one of the few single teachers, most others have family, they don’t want to teach in summer, they don’t even mind giving up the 1.5x summer student rate, you are single, enjoy the opportunity to make more money”

She was disappointed and flailing, seeing him was painful

Too many memories

How did he just keep it all about s--?

Does every foolish woman fall for her Tinder date?

Or am I a special kind of stupid?

He promised nothing, except a good time… what part of that did I assume was permanent

“Is this because we talked about not being serious?”

“Partly, my Ajji wants me to get married so I have to respect that”

“You want to dive into marriage while you are having a good time with me?”

They had this convo as she rode her auto home from school

She had a splitting headache

She hadn’t responded to him all day

“I should wait until you are satiated and then begin looking?” she sent a LOL

“Ouch!! Why are you showing your fangs?”

“Did I have to sugar coat a more acceptable reply?”

“Its not a q of MY satiation alone, YOURS as well”

“Well I think I am done”

“AHHH… THAT’S IT then? Not Final exams, not setting question papers, not having office hours after school, BUT dumping me”

“Sure… if that sounds like that”

He called her

She didn’t respond the other two calls either

She felt ashamed at wanting more

She felt ashamed about him laughing at her when he discovers she expected him to put a ring on it

It was an all around awkward situation, there was no such agreement in the first place, they were not “matrimonial hopefuls” testing out s---l compatibility, they were strangers on Tinder, she happened to befriend him because she taught Math to his nephew

How it all turned into such a giant mess she did not really know

She continued seeing him even after she felt like it was more than attraction. He wasn’t an angel on the home front, he hated his SIL and the kids, he shared a semi cold vibe with his Dad

There wasn’t a jovial deeply affectionate family man behind the sexy dude

But there was a REAL honest, pragmatic man… that was hugely intoxicating for her

He didn’t pretend

He was upfront

Ajji would find it abhorrent, she would never her her marry such a man, she would laugh at what Punky looked for in a man

No… seriously tho!

Dumping you, seriously???

You think she is dumping you?

You can’t understand her PoV and you want her to understand yours?

She did want a fling from day one. She did mention she was looking to settle down.
You might not have told but she did expect you to commit.

You didn’t, she has right to stop from getting more involved.
