Infinitely Infinite

Chapter-6

It's been two weeks since the engagement got over. I and Tarun, didn't see each other after that day. We didn't actually want to meet and the feeling was mutual! The inimitable, matchless entity that'll be mine, out of this wedding were 1. the affinity and intimacy with Maya! She is such a beautiful soul and I have to say that, i love her. 2. the love and fondness that aunt showers on me. She cares for me, more than I do for myself.

And i guess, the world's best mother in law is now, mine.

Days seemed to gallop hastily. My parents had invited everyone for the wedding. And the wedding will be in three weeks. The next morning, i was lazy to wake up. But i still had to attend a function in the hospital.

I got up, stretching backwards; that's when Maya dialled me.

'Yes, Maya! ' i uttered in my sleepy voice, without saying a hello.

'Are you still sleeping!? Wake up, you lazy a*s!!' she taunted me.

'Uhmm ' i responded and plodded, yawning!

'But buttercup! You know what?! Tarun is ought to pick you up from the hospital today evening, sharp at five' O clock! ' she chuckled.

And all my sleepiness vaporised when these words hit my ears.

' What!! ' it was a bombshell for me and definitely that was my eye opener; literally.

'But why?!' being rescued from the shock, I asked her.

' Ehm.. Well..  For the shopping! I mean shopping for the wedding. Your wedding! ' she chuckled.

' Why can't I hang around with you?! ' i asked her sleepily with a dinky worry!

' Don't worry! I and aunty would come there to chaperon you both but Tarun will come and gather you up. I will go home, and come along with aunty. ' she said.

' Why can't it be done, the other way around? Like you come to pick me up and Tarun will go home and bring aunty with him?! ' i asked.

'Greatly impossible! Aunty wants you both to meet up. So..' she said.

'Okay, i will go with him! ' i said in a fake sad tone.

' Agreeable! ' she said and continued...,' Okay then, we will meet today, early black !! ' and hung up.

I did not know how I should feel. Why am i thinking on something that has nothing in it. I am just going to go with him in his car. That is it!

In a little while, i made my way to the privy for a shower and then shoved myself into the car and rambled towards the hospital!

The time seemed to sprang faster, i was actually waiting for the sight of the adonis! I did not know, why the very thought if this came into my sick head. Err, Heera stop this, why are you thinking about him always?!  What he is? A hellion or what?! Why should i hit the ceiling by seeing him?! Cool down, Heera.

The clock eventually struck four in the evening and the heartbeat seemed to be rising higher and higher. It was the end of the  day, I was sitting alone with no patients left to attend and that's when my assistant Ms. Priya came up to me saying that a convalescent person had come. 'Bring the sick one, in'  i told her and she obliged. I saw a man standing behind the door when she left. He was quarreling with the reception helping staffs. Soon, I grasped that the man was Tarun.

I rushed towards the door.

'Hello, listen to me. I am not here for any treatment.  I want to meet the doctor! ' he was shouting standing in the betwixt of the reception.

' I understand but going by the rules, to meet the doctor, you must have fixed the consultation before! ' The counter-person was replying.

I jumped and intruded myself into the conversation.

' Miss, He has come to meet me personally! Sorry for the inconvenience! Please, get going with your stuff! Rigidly sorry for the mess!! ' i claimed, patiently.

And then the real, mess happened. I had to turn to Tarun to clear myself. I didn't know, even in such a disorder, how i happened to drool at him, when he was close by. Land to earth, Heera!! You and your shitty mind. Come back to the real issue that happened!

'Tarun, De facto, an authentic sorry for the mess. Sorry for the tangled things. ' i asked in a tone, seeking forgiveness.

Bullshit! Should it be the apologies, that i first ask him.

' I am waiting outside, don't take much time.' he said and barged out and got into the car. I soon rushed back to my room to take my tote and bolted towards the car.

The next second, i got into the car..

'What do these people think of me!! Am i a psychopath?! To fix an appointment to meet you?! Or do I appear like one?!  Damn! ' he rebelled at me.

' Hello! Break off! Okay?! You must have told them lucidly!! About your purpose of visit. Standing inside a psychopath hospital asking... correction, shouting that you need to meet the doctor,  what do you expect people to eventually think?!  I asked sarcastically. He deserves it! How mean he was to the staffs!?

'I thought i would apologize to you for the brawl but now that you're beefing at my staffs,  i can't stay put! I am taking that authentical sorry back!! ' i grumbled.

' Who needs your sorry!? Just trash them!! ' he said and thumped the steering of the car.

' When someones witnesses a person to be so ragged in front of everyone, definitely people will name you nut case. Of course  you're nuts! ' i muttered, making sure that the final sentence barely reached his ears.

His anger was palpable. I could see virtually, his steaming ears and nostrils! Finally, after the argy-bargy, he accelerated the car and we moved.

When i can't even spend a short span of travel peacefully with this man, how is it going to be happen the rest of my life. All i feel is, the urge to bash and smack his face when i saw him beside me; the fact that his resemblance to the Greek god was distracting and dominating me not to do so!

I sedately started to analyze and assume how things could go worser, if I and him are put together in a house with no one around like how Rahul and Sanvi were bound together inside a house from the book ‘Miracles of Love..' But promisingly, even though we are left alone, i don't have to compare us to Rahul and Sanvi because they were miracles of love. They were bound by each other's love but here, i don't have to mention that it is only an allergy and aversion that we both have towards each other.

I came back to the presence, only when the car halted in front of a surprisingly huge building. Adjacently, I caught a glimpse of Maya's car. Soon, my face lit up and as soon as he saw the car, his face lit up too.

I got down from the car and walked fronting Maya and Aunty. I leaped forward to hug Maya. All my hatred, distemper and enmity flew away to the next galaxy when i saw them. When i have people who love me, why should i exhaust my time hating this guy!

We all entered the store; aunty wanted to buy me the finest slik cloth for the wedding. It always makes me aviate a few feets above the ground level whenever i think of her love and concern for me.

Finally, Maya handpicked a saree which caught her eyes.  It was really a delicate saree with fineness in the texture, finishing and the quality.  After a lot of puzzlement, all three of us selected the saree, while Tarun stayed back in the car. I didn't know where did Akshay go, he wasn't there anywhere around us.

Finally, when we came out of the place, I and Maya decided to go back together and Aunty went with Tarun.

We both sneaked into the car and then i started, ' Maya do you know, Tarun created a big scene when he came to the hospital!'  I said.

'What did he do?! ' she chuckled, concentrating on the road and her hands on the steering wheel.

And then, i dramatized whatever happened that evening and she almost rolled in the aisles, when i told her everything.

' Chill out Heera! This is nothing. There are many more incalculable things that's going to happen between you both! ' she chortled.

I don't have any idea of how this girl could strongly deem and hypothesize, that something that will never make us apart will happen between us, when it is only filled with disgust and ill will.

' Before that, you can get down now, because we've reached your home already! ' her voice shook me out of the thoughts. I grinned at her.

We both got down, Maya made her way into the house out of my compulsion. My parents were happy to see Maya. Soon, she left our home after a cup of coffee!
