PART 19

M-I saw something interesting once..

G-What?

She asks eagerly. This was the first time her husband chose to speak on his own rather replying to her

M-There was this older guy at our center and he used to like this dinner girl and he would deliberately annoy her... to get her attention...so may be that boy liked u

G-Center? You mean school? You lived in a hostel?...liked me???? Yaaakkk!!!!!!!! [she makes a face]... not possible! We were just kids

M-So? It is a good explanation.

G-You know one day...I really got sick in my school...that guy got really worried and took care of me...I thought how did he turns so caring.

She laughs.

M-See he liked you...even after the punch

G-I never noticed that

M-You are indeed blind

He says checking her once over completely

G-No no that was before the punch...after punch we didn't speak to each other ever.

M- You shouldn't punch people who like you

She laughs at the prospect of that guy liking her. Maan starts putting away the first aid stuff.

G-. But he annoyed me

M-Not good enough reason to get violent. Go to sleep now

Maan says taking her hand and pushing her towards the bed

G-No...1st your knuckles need treatment

M-They are fine. You can go to sleep now

She gets some antiseptic and puts the burning liquid on his bruises.

Maan doesn't even flinch after all her 'aww it burns!!' it's a very different reaction. : He just doesn't even clench his jaws tight.

G-Are you hurt somewhere else?

M-No (as if he would tell her)

G-You know Ranjeet never used to fight for me like that. He would advise me to take up different route if a guy would follow me, or ask me to change the number if someone would bother me

M-And you think you are not good looking, you have always been a trouble

He says brushing away her mention about her ex.

G-Every gal gets in trouble.

She says while checking him for more cuts or bruises

M-Not as much as you ...

Maan says and gently pushes her away

M-I am fine

G-Let me check

He is not fine with the body inspection

G- Me and trouble? You are wrong...some of my friends also had their mms made

M-I said...I -Am-Fine

He is little agitated now

G- Why are you so adamant?

M-God !What kind of place did you come from!??!!

He says to divert the topic

G-There's a cut near your eye

But she is like a dog with a bone

M-Forget it Geet now go!

G-What's your problem? [she frowns] It can become septic

He is getting agitated by the closeness now

M-Nothing. Just go

He moves giving her a wide space to move past

She grabs his arm and puts the medicated cotton but he jerks away

M-Aren't you listening????

He says angrily now, he feels as if his personal space is being invaded

G-By the way...I am from Samastipur

She tries to change the topic, as she hates arguing with him and she knows it is turning ugly, but for her nursing his wounds are also equally important

M-I don't care where are you from, leave me alone

G-Ufff! you are so...so..so...adamant .And you just asked where I am from so I answered

Maan walks into the bathroom and shuts the door

G-Can we order some milk?

She says over the door

M-Order whatever you want

He says slumped against the other side of the door

She orders some milk and turmeric powder

As Maan comes out she has ready 2 glasses of turmeric milk

G-Take It and drink

He glares at her for being so intervening and annoying... he had almost blurted about being in correctional center too.
