4 Seasons....

No great person told it so I’m telling it. Ankit can’t live without chicken and neither can relation live without understanding.

R was lying down on his sofa and the only thing on his mind was “what could have possibly gone wrong”. Couple of shots vodka too weren’t enough to erase those thoughts off his mind, all he knew was he loved her more than anybody in this world but she thought it was the other way.

It was the same with G too minus the vodka that is…she thought it was all over and they had nothing more than a few cuss words for each other… this was way off target from what she had thought would be a perfect ending to their 6 year 3 month 13 day relationship. She began to think, wish there was a book on how to understand people. Even after 6years and those extra months she felt she never completely understood R. “if you can understand anybody in this world completely then it’s only you” she was telling it to herself. “I knew the food he liked, the color, the people, the songs, the movies, I knew exactly what a smile on his face and a tear in his eye meant. We exchanged a million word conversation and without a single word been spoken. We knew each other better than our own selves I thought, but that proved to be everything but right”.

When you think you know everything about a person we tend to stop thinking further about it and that’s where the problem starts because you don’t see that he doesn’t like blue anymore neither does he support Arsenal and nor does he hang out for a beer with the same bunch of friends. Same is the case in the role reversal situation, he thinks you still cry for silly reasons and still gifts you a Gucci even when you have moved on to Versace long time ago. We forget that change is the only thing permanent thing in life.

It’s not just the designer you wearing and the team that you root for change as the time gets older…it’s the feelings, the thoughts, the opinions which change too, And we tend to think that just like always the “better-half to be” will understand you but all they remember is the volume-I and not the volume-II and by the time you figure that out you would be sitting all alone trying to find out why didn’t you see that volume-II coming.

This is where the things take a turn for the worse, and the cracks start to open up. You no longer get a “I love for this” kinda look when you cook his favorite meal which supposedly, has changed long back. When you are in a problem and expect him to be by your side he aint there because he thinks you are used to handling such problems. Those eyes which always did the talking are now filled with tears. You can sense it that things are slipping out of your hands and so is he. A room which was once filled with love, laughter and joy is now renovated into a room full of arguments, tears and hate. A phone call for which once you waited with a baited breath has now vanished from hours to days to weeks to months. Nobody knows what went wrong; all of a sudden LOVE seems to be a word of the past. A person about whom you thought you knew everything is no more there. All of a sudden you start asking for SPACE from a person whom you always wanted to be by your side.

After all this thought and bucket full of chicken nuggets G got a bit philosophical. “People are just like seasons, both change with time and you have to notice the change and adapt to it” she told to herself. “Wonder what R would be thinking now” she continued….

“What could have possibly gone wrong” was the same question going on in his mind even after downing 8 shots of vodka.

Maybe it’s true… men can never think as much as a woman can, even after 8 neat shots of vodka….
