One side of a conversation!

The other day i was taking a walk from my place to the Forum and from there towards the Ganapati temple. At some lonesome bus stop i heard someone talking to some other one on the phone. The mood of the conversation was dark, as was the evening. Clouds overshadowing the already dwindling lights of the sky. Such events do occur in everyone's life when we scream on others, i thought. And then i just walked on. But i surely have not had such an occassion in a long long time now! I have relished those moments when i was the "screamer", so to say - keeping accumulating things in my heart till one day it became utterly unbearable for me. And then everything would come out - with complete details - on to the person for whom it is meant!

Now that nothing like that has occurred in ages, i thought why not just be there and hear it for a while - hearing at times is much more powerful than just thinking. I got this idea after i came out of my college. Its like so many people around and so many motivations dangling in the air that unless you clearly spell out what your motivation and plan is - by speaking it / about it again and again - it become difficult to proceed. (I do not deny the presence of some silent tigers among us!)

The conversation:

"I am not in a mood to talk now"
"Ok! fine its alrite ... i mean everythings fine ... you couldnt make it yesterday nite"
"Yeah i was just there ... standing and waiting for you to come"
"mmhmmm ... ok! so u just got stuck up somewhere is it?"
"Fine you dont have to say sorry - you got stuck somewhere ..."
"I am alrite ... why do you ask this again and again"
"Listen ... call me sometime later ... i ..."
"Ok so give me your number so that i can call you"
"Some other time? mmhmm ..."
"So you say we can meet only if i come to the party and not otherwise is it?"
"At least your name ..."
"Oh that too is suposed to be surprise is it?"
"No dont ... why should i trust you anyway! anymore!"
"Listen why have you called me back ? I just had a good day and was leaving for home."
"Why suddenly would you feel that you were feeling bad about what happened?"
"Look! standing there in the midnight ... supposedly waiting for you ... do you think that was easy?"
"You come, look at me from different angles, from diffferent sides, and run away making me feel like a fool there!"
"Of course! what do you think? i am not such a fool who could not notice someone checking me out!"
"Wow! so it was "something" that made you not to come to me huh!"
"Listen! i do not you and you do not me. of what i think will make no difference to you whatsoever. But you have made for yourself a place in my heart where i will remember you only with hatred."
"You may be a good person and if so you do not have to get an award for it. just go away."
