Abhi called. The stupid, idiot, romantic guy.

*** Abhi coming to Mumbai.God always send an angel to help you through pains ;)

"Hey"
"What"
"The dream came true...well one of the dreams"
"Ughh..okay which one now?"
"Got my first red BMW"
"What?Shit fucking lucky you are"
"Impressive"
"Ahh well enough..not enough to marry me by the way?"
"I am not marrying you. At least in next two year"
"Never would be better...why two?"
"I am moving in with a girl, so..."
"Good for you..but then you still expect to marry me?"
"Idiot. I am going for a higher executive program next year"
"Gosh..again, now where?"
"Harvard"
"Fuck YOU man!"
"I wish you would. I am way better than that bastard. It took you two times to understand..you are too slow in these matters"
"Whatever. But when I own a man or a teacup, it's mine. And you know that"
"It's acting like a stubborn kid"
" I have another news"
"Go ahead Mr. Panditrao"
"I am coming to Bangalore"
"Of all the places?"
"Goldman Sachs has a branch there, so they went sending someone and you know..."
"Yeah then to Mumbai?"
"Well if you don't start yelling at me like last time"
"Well, I learnt my lesson ...I gave up so much...for this guy, it's unbeleivable"
"And you still love him"
"Yes and no."
"Yes after he slept with other woman, after he claimed you as his ex, after he called you a slut to his friends, after he blames you for everything, and after he basically treated you like a paid prostitute to be his living in partner, come as he liked, go as he wanted..AND YOU HAD NO SAY"
"I know Abhi..don't repeat all of this, really. The sleeping part id pardonable, men need "it"...but then, okay I also did have couple of flings whatever. But yeah I was still true, that made it all different"
"Nevermind this topic we don't want to bring it up and you deal with it. I know you would understand soon, and ...you will find the real one. You are just holding onto an illusion"
"I know. Stupid me..Abhi I am so stuck up in this city and absolutely broke, lol.I miss Fermi, I miss Chicago"
"I miss you"
"Miss you too...I don't know if I am really stupid, but..."
"But you are decided this is your destiny, that it should be a story book romance with twists and heartbreaks and reunions...and fuck, let me tell you story book heroes are not jerks"
"Whatever"
"Stop believing in you so called prophecies. You would be some aerospace engineer..shit"
"shut up!"
"What"
"you will see...Abhi, I WILL fix it. That's my word"
"Else?"
"I will marry you"
"Fuck you...I am your second option?"
"You don't have a lack of girls...I mean seriously Abhi why do you like me. It makes no sense. even if I never loved akash, I wouldnt chase you. I just don't fit all these..."
"No I had 11 gfs, I broke up with I told you that model last month..but I am not interested in marrying any of them....I'd tell you why I like you when I come to Mumbai?"
"Oh when is that?"
"End of April"
"gosh...u kidding?
"Nopes"
"omg, omg, omg"
"Is that scary..?"
"Idk"
"Are you seeing someone else?"
"shut up Abhi, I don't need men to be happy"
"No, you just need jerks"
"Fuck you..okay whatever."
"Haha, after marriage okay?"
"Let me sleep Abhi! And hey.."
"what"
"Thanks.."
"For?"
"Putting up with me...all through these"
"I guess thats what friends are for. But I am selfish. I like hanging around nice and complicated girls"
"Lol"
"Hey, got to get back to work now, else if I get fired, this BMW wont stay"
"Aww, okay bye take care"
