UNSPOKEN FEELINGS

“So, what have you decided?” he opened the call with a question. He was waiting very anxiously for her to answer this question. “What are you talking about?” she answered a question with a question. She’s so good at playing dumb. He being a true Piscean was hell-bent to get the answer.

Putting it another way, explaining the already conveyed message he asked, “What’s my return gift, you were talking about?” They were discussing about the return gift that she promised for all the help and support from him.

The conversation on the phone brought a mischievous grin on their face. “What do you want, tell me?” her reply raised the temperature of the conversation. “Everything that you are ready to offer.” He replied quickly maintaining the heat of the situation. The exchange of coy words was taking a steep turn revealing their inner emotions. They were trying to bluff each other but the pauses and smiles were loud and clear to understand their romantic advances towards each other.

“Stop being naughty.” She reluctantly tried to stop his advances. But only she knows how much she was enjoying this. “I haven’t started being naughty yet. Allow me once and I shall show you how naughty I can get.” He was getting up and closer now. The pin drop silence was now filled with heavy breathing on both the sides.  His words created a spell on her mind.

“Please stop, I might fall for you.” She replied to avoid the unknowing silence “What would you do then” She being a lioness by nature always wants to assess and be confirm about everything. Now the ball was in his court. “I’ll marry you” his answer outwit her every single doubt. Again a pin drop silence filled with heavy breathing. Emotions took a toll on flirting.

“My parents won’t agree.” She was herself not sure if she really wants to get into this or shut this up. She spoke what she felt. “I assure you they won’t disagree” He replied confidently taking the control of the conversation. This was driving her crazy. She has never been in such an ambiguous situation.

The mere topic of marriage brought her back to realization that she is already committed. Taking a control on her feelings she laughed a loud and said, “That was too good, you’re an amazing flirt.” They again played bluff, this time not to each other but to the world. He laughed back to acknowledge her compliment. They both knew each other like the back of hand. Everything was spoken, conveyed but with the absence of words.

They ended the call but this time SILENCE was loud and clear.
