Guess who?

NOTE:Yes! I'm running short of titles for my posts. There is nothing beyond this fact for my act of using movie titles. Again, this post is in no way related to the Bernie Mac-Ashton Kutcher comedy.

"Can you stop at the snack bar?" She broke the silence. We never talked for the last twenty minutes after I picked her from the school.

Man! I'm in no mood to talk with anyone today. It was all because of the talk we had today morning. I am not against her. But she never understands me. I didn't say anything wrong. I really don't understand why she blows a big balloon now. All started today morning when we left home.

Only she started, "Have you been at Kay's home all night?"

"Yeah. I told you right".

"You never told me before. Why you didn't bother to call me? I got so scared. How can I know where you have been?"

"I thought I told you already. Anyways what's a big deal?"

"What you mean by what's a big deal? So you never cared about home and thought you can do whatever you want?"

"Do you hear me?" She shook me from behind. "I told you to stop at the snack bar three times and you now crossed it. Are you in senses?" I just now realized we are about fifteen feet away from the snack bar. I took a U-turn and reached it. Still I feel the heat in her words. Again I say I didn't do anything bad and neither did I tell anything against her. She has an attitude...always! Huh! If she can be caustic with me I'm no less than her. I have my own character.

"Why are you shouting like this?"

"Am I shouting? Yes I am. Hmm boys! I just asked why you didn't inform me that you will stay out yesterday night. Did I say something bad or did I scold you? You imm..."

"..Okay. Why are you making a big issue out of this?"

"Big issue? Yes here lies the problem. You have always taken me for granted and you are trying to ignore me and disregard me".

"Why are you talking like this? I thought its not a problem if I sleepover at Kay's home one night. Also we had this assignment...."

"Didn't you know I am not feeling well for the past two days? I got so worried when you didn't come after 9 and I had to call up everyone with my headache and stomach pain". She didn't say a word after that. It was silence again till I dropped her in school. When she got down I saw her eyes. Oooh! What an angry look? I have never seen such a stare from her before. It was red hot.

I almost burnt my hand when I touched the burning hot coffee. She saw me. Not with the same red eye. This angerless not so passive look is not new to me.

"Are you still thinking abt the conversation we had in the morning?"

I nodded. I almost made an addition symbol in the air.

"Does it mean a yes or a no?"

Silence.

"So you are not talking to me hereafter. Right?"

"No".

"Then why are you silent?"

"Nothing".

"See, I was angry. True. But you should be knowing why. If someone ignores you, how will you feel. That too if your most loved one fails to share something with you won't you get irritated? That's what happened to me".

"Sorry. I should have called you. From now onwards I won't do such mistakes. I was a fool to think you always took over me. And how are you feeling now?"

"I still have the pain, but bearable. Better than yesterday. Also, it is not a foolish thinking. Its my responsibility to take things over when you need me. There is nothing of the sort of dominance or control in any relation. Be cheerful".

I paid the bill and sat in the bike. After the coffee I feel my headache is better now. He still looked unanimated. Poor fellow! I spoiled his day. Blame me. I was a bit more than harsh today. Surprising. I was never so tough with him. Maybe the pain. This is not the usual pain. This made my day bad with the kids in the school also. Perhaps I should have taken a day off. Ouch! the pain got multiplied by n factorial when he applied a sudden break to avoid the pothole. God! Let this pain may end all the usual pains.

P.S: Hope now you guys understood why I gave this title to this post.
