Second Chance # 5

HEART's GAMES:

 

 

What the hell ! He yelled in pain.
What the hell means? I am shouting from past 15 mins but it seems like my brother is lost in some other world. He heard the voice which break his trans of thought and bring him back to earth. He continue with his anger or some kind of teasing tone : I know I know you were busy admiring your would be wife, but don't you feel bro, you are behaving like 16 year old boy who just lost his Virtue.
Arnav glare at him and bark : What does that mean Aman?
Aman mock on his face: What do I mean, give thanks to God that no one is here in the house or they would have thought " oh! My boy is in love" kind, and that comment would have pissed you off. And I don't feel this will please you when you come out of your fantasy world, and thank me that I just tap a pan on your head to bring you back.
Arnav massage his head where he hit him hard, R.E.A.L.L.Y H.A.R.D. : what ever.
Aman sit on the bar stool, which attach kitchen slab and living area together, he turn around to look outside the window, trying to figure out what was their which his brother was so engross to admire, that he even didn't heard his voice. Arnav follow his gaze and after few second ask him.
What's their?
He look toward him and asked: Is Lavanya their?
Arnav immediately replied : No! why would she be their?
Aman frown his brow, try to ask him something but after a thought ignore it.
After an uncomfortable silence Arnav sit in front of him and said : Shoot!
Aman lied : Nothing Bro.
Arnav look a him and roll his eyes, with the gesture Fuck off then.
Aman took his opportunity and in one go blurt out everything : Okay Big bro, we all know you are getting married but it doesn't mean that you start fantasising about your girl in the morning, when you know your small brother don't have any.
Arnav first look at him with open mouth and then burst out in laughter, Aman roll his eyes and wait till his brother get his breath back.
Arnav put the back of palm on his mouth, clear his throat so he don't offend his little bro, punch his shoulder with his fist and said : Who told you I was thinking about Lav? Aman look at him with not so convince face : Okay I was thinking something but not about Lav. I promise.
Aman : But you were fantasising?
Arnav : No!
Aman : To whom you were thinking about?
Arnav : No one!
Aman : You just said you were thinking.
Arnav : Yes I said.
Aman shoot again: Okay what you were thinking about Khushi?
Arnav without thinking blurt out : When I first saw her.
Aman pat his own shoulder in his head and exclaim : Bingo! I knew it.
Arnav bit his tongue again that he said this thing and not even that he blurt this out in front of this Rascal. He sigh. And look at him like a tiger , an angry tiger, no angry, Lustful tiger, not even that, hungry tiger who is ready to have his prey in one go. Aman gulp down his excitement and suddenly he felt that the room temperature drop till zero, before Arnav can catch his prey he took a chance and run toward his room and with a bang, it is silence again in the room. Arnav sigh and take deep breath and exhale with her name " Khushi ".
Aman peep out from his room and said : You know what bro I learn this from you only, how to bring out truth from someone.
Before Arnav can run after him he again close the door with the loud bang this time, Arnav bang his fist on the door, but in return he heard his brother laugh.
Arnav bang the door again: Open the God damn door Aman or I will fuck you like anything.
He heard another burst of laughter and then he replied : Bro accept it you still fantasies about her.
Arnav with clench teeth groan: I don't! their was authority in his voice that can convince anyone that he is telling truth.
Aman shout from the room : To whom you are trying to convince bro, me or yourself? He laugh his evil smile to which Arnav want to break his jaw.
Arnav with same authority : I don't Fantasies about her.
Aman shout again : May be you are telling truth but you can't run from the fact that she is the only girl even now her charm is same on you and still she is able to knock your breath out of your lungs, Bro. be a man and face it.. in the end his voice is not commanding or it contain any humour but concern for his brother, a support which he want, which he want to give him. Which a brother can only give to his brother, young or adult doesn't matter in it.
He close his eyes, and took a sigh he leaned his head on the door, still his hand is in fists he can lie to everyone but he can't lie to himself, he knows still her charm, her effect, her innocence take his breath out from his lungs, her one look and he get lost in them as he lost in them when he saw them first, every time is like first time only, he turn around and lean his back on the same door which he was banging moment ago, he closes his eyes and went back to his memories. Memories which still hold her in the same manner like it is truth, it is present and not memory. Every detail every colour of picture is same as it is happening right now. He still regret those moment, when he didn't said her anything he didn't purr his heart out, and still cherish all the moment when they both were together. And today she is with someone else and He is going to marry with someone. How life changed in so many ways, But still when he think about those memory when Arnav and Khushi were together the innocent smile crept his face, which high light his every feature like a young boy got his birthday present and surprise party together with all his friend and family signing and dancing for him. But she is his Best Friend, and it is wrong, this feeling is wrong, she is married and happy, he have to bury them deep inside, D.E.E.P, D.E.E.P, D.E.E.P. I.N.S.I.D.E. in some corner of his heart.
He don't have any hearing in morning, they are two but after lunch so he have time, time to cherish them again.
He took a deep breath and let himself drown into the sweet memories again. The memories which contain its nectar as same as the first breeze of morning, as same as it hold in those moment.
