I just sat on the bed totally confused.
Vinaya explained this guy Arnit about why I dont remember him. Those few minutes were the most awkward minutes of my life.
Atlast, Arnit faced me. He walked towards me and sat on his knees on the floor in front of me. "I love you, Ariya. And I'll always do." Saying this much, he ran off out of the room.
His broken voice still strolled in my mind. He was surely on the edge of crying. But, what am I supposed to do? I dont even know him!
"Ari..." Vinaya walked to me and sat beside me on the bed. "He really loves you. And its not good to just forget someone who loves you this much. Try to recall him. Please. He'll break if you wouldn't be able to remember him." And Vinaya walked out of the room.
I just sat there saying nothing. All that I could think about was that guy Arnit. And his wet eyes when he said that he loves me.
Later, the next day, I was discharged from the hospital. I went home with my parents.
I was sitting in my room reading some magazine when there was a knock at the door.
"Come in." I said.
Vinaya showed up. And behind him was a guy.
"A-arnit?!" I shouted.
"No." Vinaya walked to me. "Arsan." She said.
That guy followed Vinaya and sat on a stool beside my bed. "You probably dont remember me as well. I'm Arsan. Arnit's brother."
"Brother? You mean, twins?" I asked staring at this guy. Oh, he looks so similar to Arnit. The only difference I could pick out was the length of his hair. It was shorter than Arnit's hair. And I think his face was thiner than Arnit's as well.
"Yup." He said. "How are you, bhabhi? Feeling better?" He asked. And also, his voice was deeper than Arnit's too.
Wait. Bhabhi? Why's he calling me something that should be called to a brother's wife?
"You calling me 'bhabhi'?" I asked.
"Yes. My brother has one girlfriend. You. And ofcourse I'm calling you this as usual." He replied.
Oh no... he calls me that often...?
"Aah!" I groaned straching my head. "I cant remember!"
"Dont worry." That guy said. "I'm sure you're gonna recall everything soon." He said with a smile.
"Sorry but inspite of trying very hard, I'm absolutely unable to recall anything about you or your brother, A-arsan..."
He giggled. "You calling me by my first name huh.." He said and looked at Vinaya. Vinaya shrugged and smiled.
"Okay... what's wrong by calling you by your first name?" I asked.
"Well, you usually called me 'jeth ji'...so..." Arsan replied with a smile.
What on earth! Jeth ji means husband's older brother!
"Oh, what?! I used to call you that?!" I asked.
"Yup! Almost always. You didnt take my first name often." Arsan replied and let out a laugh. "Bhabhi." He said and giggled.
Hearing that made me feel uncomfortable...
