I had run away from everyone to the safest place with one full pack Marlboro. It was on the top of my madness’ house. There were no stairs built but it was easy for any monkey to reach there. When she found me nowhere she knew where I was.
‘Give me one puff’
I didn’t speak.
‘You look like Johny Lever when you’re angry’
I couldn’t stop laughing. If not for her good humor she made everyone laugh at her PJs.
‘Do you think what you did yesterday was funny?’
‘Of course it was. Why are you so serious about that?’
‘Nothing’s serious. Leave me for a while’
It was a little harsh of me, but I had to scream. She was apparently disappointed and started crying… as always! Though I didn’t speak for sometime, I went to her and offered my hanky. She snatched the cigarette instead and started smoking. Whenever she smoke or rather tried to smoke she caught cough and fell ill. I was trying to stop her but she pressed the lit cigarette against my cheek. It was instantly burnt and looked red. Before I realized I was wounded she took my cheek by her tongue to make it cool. But it had turned more crimson may be because of her lipstick! I felt the chilling wave splash at once. She hadn’t stopped, thinking I was hurt badly… so she carried on with what she was doing just until I turned my cheek away from her lips to face her. It was the first time 4 eyes met not to fight, the lips did not yell at each other and we did not hate each other…
I moved a little ahead while she paused. I moved little more and she didn’t move. I moved little more when we were half a centimeter away and I stopped. The breaths were audible and the wind she blew met mine. She came forward and it was a gentle touch when Roxy came barking in. She moved away and took Roxy in her arms and kissed her with extreme love. I stayed looking on.
‘So you love Riya, right?’
‘hmm… yea, na… hmm … …’
‘You know what? I’m also in love.’
‘With whom?’
‘You know who it is, don’t you?’
‘hmmmmmmmm’
‘Yes, take the name…’
‘Your mom?’ I knew this was what she would always say.
‘Come on…’
‘Then who else?’
‘Roxy, idiot!’
Well that was my madness, kept me guessing, kept me thinking and left me confused. But I had come to a serious realization… you should not have 2 aims in life!
