Cousin – di told me about you…
A – Hmmm...What? (Romancing with the mobile, “damn! The balance is low”.)
Cousin – that,what was the turning point of your life…
A – what was it.?
Cousin – your last affair. !!!
A – (now that raised the alarms. Keeps the mobile aside ), so?
A – (Chuckles)
Cousin – what was the reason?
A- I myself never understood the reason she gave me. May be I was not good enough for her.
Cousin – hmm...but you look sweet and cute!
A- You think so, not everyone around.
Cousin – hmm...
**Silence**
Cousin – no contacts?
A- Not much, just few pleasantries on facebook. I wished her birthday last year.
Cousin –and she?
A- I block her every time mine comes.
Cousin – why do you do this? (A touch of seriousness arrives)
A- I don’t want her wishes, or perhaps I am afraid she would have forgotten me completely. Blocking her gives an excuse of escaping my proposed thinking........ But she did wish me valentine this year.
Cousin – that’s sweet. Which of course means she has not forgotten you?
A- May be, but I have given up all the hopes. It’s been close to 2 years now.
Cousin – I don’t think so, you still love her don’t you, bhaiya?
**Silence.**
A – I cannot keep the thread holding, when the other end is slack. May be things were never meant to be, between the two of us.
Cousin – so, when is next one coming?
*** lightens the atmosphere.**
A – (Answers with a smile) not that easy. Don’t have time for these now.
Cousin – but you may fall for someone, you never know. Someone right around the corner could be the one.
A – (Remembers the cute girl in his class) I won’t, my feelings are more controlled now.
Cousin – but it happens…
A – Enough! Now go to sleep, I have to catch the train and you gonna get up late for school, tomorrow.
Cousin – (with a grin she holds her teddy tight) good night, bhaiya.
A- good night,
Kids these days are just too curious about these (mummers to himself)

Can totally relate. Had a similar conversation once too with a cousin "A" and I was playing the role of little cousin sister :D
Well, things always get better with time, don't they? :)
@chitranshi - well, it's good when you are on the questioning side.!!
ya, things do get better,but the bitter taste remains forever.
