"why ??what happened??" i replied..squirming for space
there was an effervescent zest in everything he talked about
how may killed april and the lilacs with it,
how the ashen foliage in the corner wasn't fooling anyone
how the girl he thought he had married was not
the one he did marry when he married her
the whole political conundrum was a scam
orchestrated by some obvious friend of his
half the world would soon come down with a flu and
fascism would soon be the only ideology left
and everyone's predilection towards busty women
"i just lost my job..it was a mess..."
"why ??"i asked again feeling the cushion for a wider hinging
"did i tell you about those lilacs??"
"why would she leave you ?"
i retorted...
"who ??" he politely inquired
"the girl you married "
"what girl ?? "
what an oaf .i addressed myself.
"aahhh !!! leave it.." i scoffed with disbelief as i denuded one of the gleaming bottles
"Again who are you ???" he asked me...but i had already gotten up to leave
irated by his boorish attitude..
"where do you think you are going" he asked beseechingly
i ruminated for some time standing there...studied my hands for a moment ....
"why would she leave you"
he seemed unperturbed by my question..a smirk abrasioned his face
"who the hell is she "
"the girl you married " i confirmed...
i thought he did not want to talk about it any further ...so i mitigated
"its okay if you don't want to tell me...i can understand"
he pushed his chest out and glared with aversion
"what the hell can you understand....you don't even know me"
i smiled and almost gloatingly announced...
"nobody does ...nobody "
and left the place in breaking din
denial comes after a betrayal and is followed by a trial...
