and Adi…….oh god, u should have looked at him….completely haywire….almost bewildered…!!!!!!

“ma, yeh….???????????????????”

“are…. Its rini….!!! y r u behaving as if u don kno her…!!”……she said as we separated…

“no, he knows, jus doesn’t remember….!! Right Adi..??” I said as I drifted my glance towards him from aayi…..he was still in shock….!!!

We moved in, but he stood there at the door, astounded, perplexed, surprised….!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I changed, aayi made my favorite ginger tea….meanwhile I made a call home n explained everything……then we sat in the living room, chatting…..aayi was very happy n so was I…..n all this while Adi sat there silently, watching us…..or may be…..watching “me”…!!......I cud feel his gaze…..an urge, an earnestness which wantd to say smthing to me, but jus cudn’t…..!!!.....aayi wudn’t let me go off, as if she wantd to talk abt all those 8 yrs in one go….!!!

After arnd 2-3 hrs I retired to the guest room, tired n exhausted…!! It was arnd 2 o’ clock now…..I opened the window n rain drizzled on my face….clouds were still playing in the sky, showing no intentions to take rest…..I cud feel the cold breeze n that slight shiver in my body…..smthing was on my mind…..wat..??  I don kno…..or may be….I don want to ‘admit’….!!!!!

Jus then a ‘knock’ on the door…..I dint turn, and I wasn’t surprised at all, just excited….may be I had already anticipated that ‘knock’….!!!

to be cont…
