The wooden ceiling of the room was making me play in a loop. The scriptures of pahari significance were intricately carved on the fine-piece of wood, fairly distinctive fish-shaped elongated eyes, oval faces, receding foreheads, round chins and prominent noses along the bold figures that were carefully laid against the monochrome backgrounds of red and yellow. The decorative coniferous trees suggest the feeling of a major perspective while the blue sky is indicated only by a narrow strip on the horizon.
The literature intrigued me but this beautiful craft of handiwork had rendered me sleepless. Most of the unsettling restlessness I felt was driven by Aryan Mallik who was soundlessly cherishing his dreamland leaving me to lick upon the wounds caused by his words.
The truthfulness in his statement had shaken my mind. Each and everything he said was true, be it the denial to my crush on him or my lucid approach towards my relationship with Aakash.
His faint presence of myself in this alliance was negligible. I do not know what I am thinking by stepping into the pool of uncertainty. My emotions and aspirations seemed vague whenever I pictured myself as Aakash's wife. My heart contradicted my mind each time I tried to defend my actions.
But was I really signing up for a compromise with Aakash?
I admit that I do not love him but every relationship does not begin with love. Some bloom with friendship which wasn't very clear in the case from my side. I liked Aakash as a man who my father admires but I couldn't bring myself to watch him in a different light. I respected him but taking him as a companion was a far-fetched scenario. Aakash ticked off all the boxes in the criteria of becoming Papa's suitable son-in-law, he was independent, responsible, sincere and lively but why didn't he match my standards of a prospective life partner.
