Sometimes some fairy tales are nothing but wishful thinking...maybe the Prince Charming is actually Prince Cunning , or the Sleeping Beauty isn't willing to wait for a hundred years for him...
As far as Mira is concerned , marriage and love is bette...
She really doesn't know the meaning of low profile.
" I knew it ! I knew it the minute I saw your lipstick streak on his shirt!!!"
Oh , what ?
I cringe at my misery and cleared my throat .
" You L-o-v-e him !!" Pia said in a sing song.
" I don't!!" I shriek , " I mean not yet , at least!!"
Pia fluttered her eyebrows in confusion and cocked her head.
I stared at her and the turmoil in my heart flows out like a river , " Sometimes I think Viyaan is just so perfect that he couldn't be any better , " but don't tell him that , his ego barely fits through the door , " Other times he completely messes up my mind with his actions , I can't know or think or understand why he does it , and why my heart is like a cage of butterflies with him around and for God's sakes !! Where are we?"
Pia 's mouth was wide open , and I slammed my hand on the table in frustration.
" In your house?" she squeaked.
" Oh , " I furrowed my brows , " I didn't mean that. I meant , as in a couple . "
" I didn't know you guys were on thin ice. " Pia muttered helpfully.
" Not ice , Pia. It's the desert of marital scarcity. Maybe because I want to be in love with him , I think I 'm in love , " I sniffed , " Maybe I'm in love with the idea of love and not in love with him at all...."
" Just one question ," Pia intervened . I nodded .
" Are you , on your period?"
She probably interpreted her answer with my glare. I just let out everything and all she has to say is this ? Major friend support needed here.
" OK , " Pia clapped her hands , " Let's start with the base. You 're thinking too much about it , Mira. Just go with the flow."
" I -"
Pia shook her head in disapproval , " Just listen. You know everything we think too much about, causes us unnecessary drama. You didn't think that before moving to a completely new country, all alone that too. Why fret , now? "
" You mean to say , " I racked my brains , " Don't cross the bridge before you cross it ?"
This is a good advice . I probably am thinking too much. By going with the flow , I can discover myself , and what I want with Viyaan , and what is it between us. Actually , scratch that. It's brilliant plan!! Just go with the flow! I felt like there were rays coming from behind her like she's Jesus , bringing about enlightenment. You're so smart , Pia!!
" Exactly !!" Pia winked , " And now , now , tell me , if we sat in a Never Have I ever game , and I say never have I ever been kissed , would you drink to it?"
She and her one tracked mind. But my inner goddess had long awoken and ready to make an appearance.
" Go and ask Viyaan , " I winked and nibbled another macaroon.
