I JUST KNEW ! Part 5

Part 5-

It was almost one and half hour past , Sanskar left. I was waiting for someone to come back into the room and tell me it's all going to be okay and nothing is my fault.

Soon there was a buzz in the hall, like every one started discussing on the same topic.

In another 20 mins, my mom and aunt Snehal came to my room. As expected my mom started yelling at me, “Shreya is this normal , did we teach you all of this ? And we used to admire you in front of everyone saying that my Shreya is well mannered and decent girl” Aunt Snehal added “Sweetie you should have thought a bit, ” and then towards my mom “I won’t blame her this generation they take things for granted please don’t be upset with her, it’s not her fault, May be she was shy to come out”.

I was about to broke into tears, while in the very same moment, my dad entered the room, and to my astonishment he actually calmed down my mother saying “done is done

so just stop bugging my daughter”. I was completely shocked hearing that.

Everyone moved back to hall as dad asked us to start for lunch.  I really wanted everyone not to poke me or start up any conversation about Sanskar.  So I was keeping calm and just focused in helping mom while serving lunch to everyone , As everyone was done, they moved to hall from dining room they started discussing about the family, Looked like they weren’t happy with Sanskar cousin who was getting married in few weeks, There was a discussion that she cancelled a lot of guys she met and finally marrying someone who was not from our caste and is younger to her. No idea for what reason people bother about such things I wondered ,  Sumedh prompted that there is a follow up match today and he switched on the TV, there was some cricket match going on Australia vs West indies I read, likewise all men in the room fell silent and got immersed in the match.

It was our (Mom’s and my) turn to have lunch I had no clue how but I was constantly eating and may be I ate around 7 to 8 poori and good quantity of rice I never had more than 5 poori at a time. Sakshi soon hinted my mom, “Look Aunty ji , Didi is so hungry ” and she giggled.  I had no other option than to ignore her. However it was Sakshi and she cannot keep quiet in any situation. “So didi did you like him? What all did you people discuss ?”

I was awestruck with her questions I gazed at her and then looked at my mom wondering how come Sakshi don’t know about what all happened. Contradicting to my emotions even my mom started giggling and said “Yes answer her, Did you like him?”

I had no clue what these two were talking, and why ? Did all that I imagined never have happened  and soon I asked “What did they say while leaving did they like me ? ”

“No sweetie they were just asking about you specially Sanskar mom, may be she wanted to greet you goodbye and as Sanskar was in a hurry to leave, Infact we all were waiting for you, we thought you would come down as Sanskar did, But you didn't” answered snehal aunty. “So Sanskar, I mean they didn’t give any opinion on me” I enquired

“Haww Aunty ji , Didi looks curious ” teased Sakshi. While my mom explained “Beta they said they need some time , however they will discuss among their family, Sanskars Grandfather and put forward the opinion soon”

I felt a little relaxed and then wondered why did my mom scolded me, if they didn’t knew anything about sumit. “Why did they leave early I thought they would stay for lunch, And mom why did you scold me before lunch ” I enquired.

Sakshi said “Didi , Sanskar got some emergency call he said he needs to attend a conference call and needs to go home soon. As soon as he came down. We all were waiting for you to come down as they were about to leave, but you didn’t they waited for another 30 mins and left, so your mom was angry that you should have come down to greet them  bye”

Post lunch we too joined others and Sakshi changed the channel, There was a very famous old movie being telecasted. Both the Co stars were my favourites however I wasn’t able to take interest in watching  movie. Everyone was so much into the movie while I was thinking about Sanskar, & what all  happened few hours ago was being rewinded in my head, I was thinking of probabilities of what if I have asked about few other questions , I missed the chance , what would he have answered if I had asked him so, and all I did was getting worried about the marriage, and about sumit who haven’t responded to any of my messages still.

Finally I was feeling really absurd when I found myself comparing both of these guys. It was weird now that, there is no chance I could have any of these two back in my life. Then why am I even wasting my time thinking about them.
