Metamorphosis

I was talking to my friend earlier today. After the usual role of entertaining her with my banter and troubles that i run into every other day, the conversation took a surprising turn.

"Are you finally over her," she asked. Now that's a direct question and I have to answer such direct questions.

"No" came the sharp reply.

"Do you still love her?" Another simple question that I should not answer.

"Yes", I was surprised that I did not hesitate in replying.

"Do you want to get back to her?" What was she trying to do?

"Dont be my shrink for heaven's sake" I retorted.

"You still have not answered my question," She persisted.

"No, I do not want to get back to her," and she knew I was not lying.

"Will you ever get over her?", another of those question that I have to answer to.

"Maybe" another surprise for me.

She started off on her attempts to talk sense into me. That it is high time that I move on with life, that I should meet new people, should go out with friends and so on and so forth.

"Listen, you have to stop this nonsense. What ever you have just said, I am doing all that. Hanging out with friends, meeting new people, movies. My social life is too full for me to handle. I have very well moved on with life. Nothing stops me from doing what I want. You are talking to me of all the people. You have known me for over 8years now. Have I ever stopped living because of anything, or anyone?"

"No you have not," she did not hesitate. "In fact your's is the most exciting life I can imagine, never out of fun, never out of jokes to share, never out of weird experience."

"There you go,"I had to stress it.

"But Rahul, of all the people I know, I never thought any girl would make you fall for her."

"I sure take that as a compliment, but yeah life is full of weird stuff."

"You know what is more weird, the ultimate weirdest thing?" Now she's got me completely hooked.

"Go ahead, you have got me completely interested. Am all ears"

"You used to hate her in school," I was surprised, taken aback, speechless, and all the relevant adjectives to say the least.

"How can you be so sure? I do not remember making such a statement about anyone."

"Cuz you told me personally that you hate her. I never told you this before because I thought it would hurt you or something."

"I will talk to you later, I need to regroup"

Could it be really possible??? Guess that is the metamorphosis of life. No comments to my friends statement. She beat me hands down today, and she got the last say.

Good night.
