“You know she smiled at me on the
subway. She was with another man”, Rahul kept murmuring.
“Shut up! Will you?” the mirror
shouted back. “You are just assuming
yourself to be James Blunt”
With this, Rahul indulged himself
again into a long evening chat with his mirror. Rahul doesn't know that the
mirror speaks to him. But somehow he understands that he must present his best
performance in front of the mirror. And he does it fabulously, doesn't he?
Every time he goes out, he makes sure he looks perfect in front of his mirror.
It’s like he has a secret love affair with his mirror and he has got no clue
about it. The mirror just laughs it off cause it believes that Rahul does
everything for it.
Sounds like a self obsessed mirror! Sheea.
The mirror kept listening to
Rahul as he bored it with the entire so called fling story. The woman, whom
Rahul supposedly met at the food court, was having a crush on him, according to
him.
“Another step towards wasting time”, sighed the mirror.
Rahul didn't stop until he
realized he was getting late for tuition. He started arranging his books. But
something stopped him. He kept standing near his desk for a long time.
“What is he thinking now? Will he go to the food court again tomorrow
and see if the lady is still there or not. Oh well! She should be. He just said
she was looking all formal and was probably employed in the shopping mall
itself. Oh my oh my, I am such a Sherlock!”
After getting into such an obvious
conclusion, the mirror still looked concerned for its best mate. Rahul hasn't
move a bit for almost 2 minutes now. That’s approximately close to a decade.
And why shouldn't it be
concerned?
The mirror was the only thing in
the world that knew Rahul through in and throughout. It has seen him naked; it
has seen him make out with his gf, get ditched and so many other things. Oh
wait! Did I just forget to mention, that it has also seen him try to cover his
neck with a rope a few months ago?
It was only because of the mirror
that made him change his mind that day. Just as he was about to kick away the
chair beneath his feet, he was lucky to have a look at himself against the bedroom
mirror. The rope around his neck did not make him look handsome at all. The two
passport sized photos of his gods attached on the top right hand corner of the
mirror did everything to make their son stop from committing a mistake.
Love it. :)
