Chapter 7: chapter 7

I thought, "I love windows the most in my house. From the windows, I can see the rising sun. From the windows I can see the cool moon. From the windows, I feel the times of a day. The windows keep me close to nature. And I can't live without being in the lap of nature.""I don't know how people manage to live in rooms by keeping windows and doors closed. I can't be in an ac room for more than 3 hours at a stretch. I start feeling suffocation. I want natural sunlight. I want to see it. I want to feel it.""I want natural air to come into my room and caress my skin. That's why even in the summer season, I don't use A.C. I use only a cooler. Because I can keep the doors as well as windows open while using the cooler. If not the door, the windows I can easily open."Knock! Knock!I said to myself, "Who could it be now? Don't know who has come to ruin my beautiful evening."I opened the door. They were Gagan, Neha and Sanya!I said excitedly, "Oh, all of you are here, together! Welcome!"Neha and Sanya smiled and both of them said together, "Won't you ask us to come in?"I said cheerfully, "Yeah, sure. Come in."The three of them entered my small house. I thought, “Why has Gagan brought them here? My house is very small and I don’t even clean my house regularly. What would they think of him? They will say that his (Gagan) friend has not even basic manners and hygiene. If they say these things to me directly on my face, it’s okay for me. I can tolerate it easily but it will be very difficult for Gagan to bear all these taunts.”Aman - Please be seated on these chairs. They were about to sit when I said, “Hey! Stop! Wait, let me clean the chairs first. The chairs are dirty.”I looked right and then left and then my eyes fell on a dirty rag. I picked it up and started cleaning the chairs. Neha - Aman, don’t worry, we will clean the chairs by ourselves. Aman - No, you all are my guest. I will clean them for you. Neha giggled. Sanya just smiled. Gagan - Aman, give me the rag. Let me clean. I smiled and said, “No, I will do it.”After cleaning the chairs, I made them sit comfortably on the chairs. I hope that they sat comfortably on my cheap chairs. I mean, the chairs in my house were not of luxurious type.I was still wondering, “What’s the purpose of their sudden visit to my small room?”I said, “You sit here comfortably and take some rest. I am going to make tea. I will come back soon.”Sanya - Hey, Aman. We don’t need tea. Just come here and sit with us. We want to talk to you. I said suspiciously, “Don’t worry, guys. I make good tea. You will surely like it.”Neha said with a sweet smile on her face, “How cute! Aman, you don’t worry about tea. Today, I will make tea for all of us.”Aman - But you are my guest. You can’t work in my house.I thought, “My kitchen is also not good. I have kept everything on a bed type charpoy (A charpoy which is not made up of cane but of wooden board.) The gas stove is on the charpoy and the boxes of tea, sugar, spices, all are on the charpoy. She will feel very bad over there.”Neha - No, no, today, I will make tea. Where is your kitchen?I said to Gagan, “Gagan, please make her understand.”Gagan smiled and said, “I don’t know what to say to her. Well, if she wants to make tea, then let her make tea. Hehe!”Aman - But?Neha - Aman, I make very good tea. Don’t take tension.Gagan - Aman, come here and sit with us. Today, enjoy Neha’s tea. Sanya - Yeah, today you enjoy her tea. Neha entered my small kitchen and she prepared tea and came back with a tray on which there were four cups of tea. I thought she would come back making her face because of my bad kitchen but I turned out to be wrong. She came back with a smiling face and her smile was even more pleasant than before. I wondered, “What’s happening?” All of us took one-one sip of tea from our cups and almost all said together, “Tea is really great.”Neha said in a childlike way, “It’s Neha’s magic.”We all laughed at her dialogue. Then three of them started looking at each other’s faces. I wondered, “Why have they started looking at each other’s faces? Do they want to say something to me? Perhaps, they are asking each other who will start first.”Suddenly Sanya said, “So… who will say?” She looked at Gagan and Neha in turn. Neha - Gagan will say. Gagan - Okay. I looked at Gagan and became receptive. He said, “Aman, it’s like that. Hmm… you met Sanya and Neha for the first time in marriage. Right?”Aman - Yeah. Gagan took a deep breath and said, “Truth be told, I thought after what you said in the marriage, they were going to hate you and would never like to see your face again but I was wrong.”His every word was shocking me.Gagan - Instead of hating you, both of them have started liking you. They are seeing a very unique man inside you. And your uniqueness interests them. In short, they want to be your good friends. I was shocked to hear that, “What! Really?”Gagan - Yeah. And they came here especially to start this friendship. I looked at Neha and Sanya and said, “Is it true?”Sanya - Arre! We just want to be your friends. Why are you so shocked? We don’t want to be your girlfriends! Hehe!(It will be so nice of you, if you leave at least a single word comment and please don't forget to follow me and become my superfan.
