Ruhanika

The whole car ride was filled with Manyu’s cute rambling. It, in a way, helped me distract myself from the anxious thoughts swirling in my mind. I wondered about the way they would behave. Jai uncle seemed kind when we had earlier met at the office and seemed really glad to see me. But, I can’t deduce someone’s behaviour just from the first visit. There have been many instances in my life where someone who seemed kind and genuine at first had turned out the opposite. Moreover, I hated the way I behaved even if someone showed me an ounce of affection or treated me sweetly. I used to wait excitedly for the arrival of that person only to find out in the end that the person would cast me aside or ignore me as soon as someone whom he considered more close or important arrived. This is why I crave to be the most important person in someone’s life. Somewhere along the way I taught myself not to expect too much or hope from any person. This is also the reason why I am wary of Jai uncle even if he seemed sweet earlier.
