#28 ...when kahin na laage mann.

I had gone to visit a friend of mine. Poor soul was on bed rest because of ankle fracture. While I was chatting with her, I felt she was a little lost. Finding her constantly unmindful, I decided to ask her in case she was at some discomfort and was not telling me. She waved off my worry saying it wasn’t anything important but she continued to be inattentive to our conversation. I tried changing topics to rope in her interest, but to no avail. I even suggested playing some boardgame, or watching some movie, but she was not interested. I also offered to cook her favorite dish to cheer her up, but she said she wasn’t hungry. I knew my friend well enough to deduce something was definitely amiss. In order to draw her full attention towards me so that I could ask her what was wrong, I took the laptop from her. She had been holding to it for some time now though not working on. It was then that I understood the reason behind her inattentiveness. The screen of her laptop had revealed the secret. She and a guy, I didn’t know, were laughing heartily in that cute picture. Reading my questioning look, she herself spoke up. Being in bed for the last 10 days, she had not been able to meet or talk properly to Mahim, the guy in the picture. It wasn’t hard anymore to understand her heedlessness or her feelings for him.

Kahin na laage mann...
kya hai ye soonapan...
