PRE THOUGHT - IF YOU WANT
YOU CAN DENY ALL,( LIKE YOU DENIED GAGANDEEP ANOTHER NUMBER SAYING IT
WAS SANDEEP MAHAJAN 'S MAMAJI) ANY OF IT HAPPENED BUT WHO WILL
FIGHT YOUR CONSCIENCE.
I was Stood on the doorway
of the kitchen about to enter to ask if my help was required,
instead I heard something which froze me with unaccountable hurt "
yehi hai who jiska Anshul ke saath tha, " said by a very close
friend whom me and my husband considered family. And the reply of
that comment gave me a momentary releif not realizing it was outright
degrading for me or any girl and especially when it was said by
another woman. Let me quote that "Anshul ka taste aisa nahi hai".
I forgot to mention we
were invited by the this couple for dinner since we were newly
married and it's a tradition/courtesy, and since our best friend
was close to them and us he was included too.
This was during the first
weeks of our marriage.
Anyhow at that moment, I
maintained my composure as much as I could without crying. But that
night I came home and cried my heart out silently, as I usually do
silentlywithout telling anyone why I am hurt. And kept on wondering
why would he think that about me, why didn't he speak to me or talk
to us or ask me about it, instead of talking about it to others. And
the bigger question was who told him this stupid lie or he fabricated
it himself, thinking about this my thoughts moved back to 2000 when
we all had passed out and were scattered around the country for newly
acquired jobs. Vinit(he is the one I dated and married), me and a
bunch of other friends decided to stay back in Hyderabad where we
cleared our professional college and continued to work there with the
jobs they were offered during campus intereview.
By mid of 2001 being
unsatisfied in his job Vinit decided to leave it and after 2-3 months
he shifted to Delhi unwillingly where the job market was bigger. He
was coaxed by me to leave for his better future and I promised I will
follow once he is settled. Did I forget mentioning my career was
flourishing much much better than I had expected initially. I was
making new contacts, knowing lots of people professionally. It was a
very fullfilling and natural high which I still yearn for. So this is
how I have a strong connection with Hyderabad.
So, when he left he
specifically brought his 2(one senior and one juniour) friends from
the same college and his hometown saying , these are my brothers you
will take care of them. So they would come eat what I used to cook.
But one fine just after a month or two when Vinit left they come for
dinner and say "Gullu chodd na Vinit ko, zindagi jee, life main
mazze le, bahut ladke hain". That time I just stared in their face
and wondered and this is what he were his brothers. At that moment I
controlled myself but called Vinit up the next day and told him the
entire narative and stopped talking to them and avoiding them. Vinit
consented on that.
And it is from there few
weird things started happening. Like me getting call on cyber shop
landline saying weird and sometimes derogatory stuff. I wondered how
did they know I was at cybershop. It was mainly used by us niftians.
Someone was doing that purposely to malign me.
I was loosing all my
confidence & balance. And the only way I found to restore it was
mingling with the juniour so after work I would visit almost everyone
girls and boys near to where I stayed, and it did help, I will always
be thankful to them. And it was during that time that Anshul started
sending jokes on my phone which I used to reciprocate to with
laughter or what courtesy demanded, untill he sent me something
which mentioned orgasm and I didn't reply to that message. And this
happened in 3-4 days, prior to that I never spoke with him not even a
Hi. It is then when I realized for few men morality or
loyalty(towards your friend) means nothing. They just need to pounce
on girls who a vulnerable or seem to be one. Whether they are
committed in a serious relationship or not it doesn't matter to
them. So I want to tell all those women who have similar thoughts to
what I have mentioned above, before you degrade any woman just know
what kind of beast is lurking within your house.
And the worse part was all
this was done when Vinit was not there and that is where I judge your
character and your motives.
This is where I stopped
laughing from my heart and it diminished over the years.
All these episodes there
shattered my trust wall to the ground about people who say they wish
you well, but actually are digging a well for you.
While thinking all this
And my thoughts moved back to the same day wer were coming back
after dinner, our friend was in the same car and out of nowhere he
said "pateele main kadchi" later on I knew what that meant since
I asked Vinit. I just want to ask him(our dear and closest friend)
now would he have said the same thing if it was her daughter or
sister.
From that day I heard
every bitter remarks he passed on in front of me. I just want to
tell him that I remember every little word he said and everything you
both did, but does he?
And no it will not matter
to such people, no matter how much I say that except Vinit there was
no one. Wondering what have I done to him or them for such hatred.
I want to ask you
something why is it that there's always another person you don't
like, who's the monster while the others you try to hide and save.
Or is it that bad is what/who you decide, and not the one who does
it.
While you yourself have
these "AWESOME" thoughts & deeds about all the others, and
you continuously hurt others. But when the other reciprocates a
little you can't gulp the fact that you can be wrong too, or infact
you were a part of that wrong doing.
You
know what we joke, we joke a lot about ourselves and people we know
or do not know. But we never become a part of some conspiracy or
never let them down in front of others. If someone has to say
anything bad abt our friends either we avoid the topic or rightaway
refute it or if we have any doubts we cross check. But we never
publicly degrade our friends or make fun of them, especially behind
their back.
