Anushree was not there when I arrived, but Surekha came in soon after. I was sitting on the sofa, I was going absolute crazy – on one hand it was Ishika driving me nuts and on the other hand the weird behavior of Anushree freaking me out. Why did she say I was married to her?

I told Suerkha what happened, she was quiet for sometime and then spoke, “I think she loves you -” “Quite a lot” She spoke calmly.

I wondered if this all was some kind of practical joke, I always thought they were nuts but this was getting out of hand very fast.

“There’s nothing you can do about it” “If somebody loves you, then that’s that” I looked at her unbelievingly, was it the same person I just talked to in the morning?

“But of course, there’s one thing that you can do-“

“What?” I enquired wondering if we could amicably lead to some solution.

“To love her back” She said with a straight face. To love her back, how easily she said it, without realzing true meaning behind the words. To love someone perhaps is the easiest thing that you can do, to love someone in return is perhaps the most difficult thing to achieve. How can you love someone unequivocally? I wondered about the great love of the centuries, was it all just imaginative stories fed to us by the profiteering media wishing to sell cards and music and cinema?

Anushree came in around six in the evening, she looked at me beamingly and said, “Kya baat, you are early today?” “Anything special?” She added.

“Yes…“ “Darling” I replied. “Thought to take you for the dinner”

“You angry with me?” She asked innocently as if nothing had happened.

“How could I with my dear wife?” I said in a tone sharp and acerbic. She went by me, and closed the door shut behind her. Surekha got up ready to follow her in, but I held her by her wrist and pulled her back on the couch, “Don’t go after her” “She’d be fine”

She looked at me and then picked up the tv remote from the table and switched on, there was some news about missing cows in Texas, she changed the channel to home-shoppe - they were featuring night dresses today. Half an hour went by but there was no sound from inside, Surekha, tapped and then banged at the door. But there was no response, I prepared myself for the worst.
