It was Christmas Eve last year
when Chaaru was all set to attend the party organized at her friend’s place.
“Where my shirt Chaaru? We’re
getting late!!”
“It’s right there in your closet.
And I’m ready dude.. you’re the one who’s stuck”
And there they were, Chaaru and
Amit, the lovely couple, the perfect couple, all set to appear and spread their
enigma.
The party was hosted at Piyush’s
place who happened to be friends with Amit and now is equally close with
Chaaru. The rest of the gang was all there, all delighted to rock the party and
spend an evening worth remembering. Chaaru and Amit, they had a love marriage.
Both of them are party freak.. they loved to groove their bodies on music.. they
loved booze and hash and smoke and weed and everything that comes with it. The
only perfect mantra that they
followed was the much clichéd, Live and
let live!
They were all nuts when it came
to each other. They were passionate lovers. Raw and wild. At least that’s what
everybody felt about them. But.. you know, there’s always a But! The reality is
always something else.
“Guys, enjoying your drinks?
Shall I get you some more scotch Chaaru?”, offered Piyush.
“No ya.. I’m good. Where’s
Anusha? And Aarti? And Mayank and the rest of them?”
“They are there on the dance
floor. Why don’t you join?”
“Of course, I will. Let me grab a
drink or two and then you see how the evening turns out to be!”
“I can’t wait to see”. *Winks
winks*
“Come on Amit, let’s go.. I’m all
up for it”
“You go.. I’ll join you in a
while. I have to catch with a few more people”, said Amit.
“You sure?”
“Of course, sweetheart.. I’m good”
“Cool”
And there she was. Dancing like
ice and fire.. Catching the attention of all the invitees with all her curvy
moves. She kind of becomes uncontrollable in the heat of the moment. And this
is when she’s not high. That’s the first degree of her insanity.
“Hey, Chaaru! You okay?”, asked
Piyush (the host of the party)
“Yes, I’m doing absolutely fine.”
“Good, can you come with me for a
while. I need to discuss something really important”
“O ya.. sure. Tell me”
And they moved aside, in an
isolated corner of the party. Escaping from the eyes of the guests.
“I’m really worried about Priya.
I don’t know how to deal with her. She’s always busy. No time for me at all. We’ll
be married in a month’s time. And yet I feel I’m a stranger to her”
“What is it? Isn’t she happy? Has
she said anything to you? What makes you think like this?”
“I don’t know. She’s quiet most
of the times. Doesn’t talk much. Not interested in meeting anybody. Very reserved.
If things turn out like this, I don’t how will I live with all this? I mean,
who is like this these days?”
“You’re just being paranoid. She
seems fine to me. Things will just be fine post marriage”
“No.. You don’t get it. I mean,
look at you. You’re just perfect! You hangout with everybody. You stay in the
moment and make the most of it. You’re so charming. And the way you dance..!!
You know how to steal the show..!”
And there he grabbed her hand and
her waist. And locked his lips with hers. Caressing her face and her neck,
rolling his hands in her hair. She too was lost in it. Loving what was being
done to her. In that passionate minute, they made the best possible move. And there
she was, all conscience and back to reality. And so was he. But none of them
seemed embarrassed. None of them felt it was strange that it happened.
“Well.. don’t think too much
Piyush. You have me.. always by your side. And I always love the way you do me”, she winked and gave a villainous smile to him, making it perfect for him to realize
that she loved every bit of it.
Mayank, their mutual friend, saw
everything and was shocked to death by witnessing that sight. He narrated all
of it to his best friend. He had hint about this, but what shocked him more was
the audacity with which they made
out, in the open, when all the guests were present in the house, with her
husband as well.
Only God knew, what was going on
with the two of them? And it only takes a bold move to depict such acts in the
public.
*********
I think that is how life is. We seem
to be quite normal with the stuff that we do and see around us frequently. But when
something happens that is beyond the norms of the society or may be beyond our
beliefs and perspectives, all we feel is dumbstruck. Don’t we?
