Exit Affection...
So Goldy’s gone back to M ... he was back home for Diwali … told me 10 days before coming that he would come to D and then go home from here… but true to his bad habit of lying to me all the time he didn’t come.. Even when he reached home he said he would try.. told him I was wiser now and that I did not consider anything he said anymore and he shouldn’t say things he’s not going to do … he said I should always keep my hopes up …luckily for me I’ve stopped taking every word of his as carved in stone and more like written in sand just before high tide…!!!
Goldy and I share a very funny relationship…(if I can call it a relationship at all )…We met 4 years ago during our stint at post graduate studies in S.. We moved from friends to special friends then to official special friends (official in the sense I made him come down on his knees and ask me out with flowers n the works…but we were never an official couple in the eyes of our friends.. again .. his call …he is the master of shady things…)…then we had the worst break up in the history of .. well .. my life and a lot of other lives…..I came back to D and cried over him for a year and a half till better sense prevailed (his) and he wooed me back just before I went to L to work (while he was still around about there) .. I really don’t know if we got back together or not cos it was without any formal asking out and we became more like friends with benefits.. but since he’s moved to M we’ve moved to absolutely no benefits...the only benefit I could have looked at getting was if Airtel announced an award for the person making max calls to M.. and since that’s not happening either.. I am essentially a no benefits kind of person.. sorta like running a charity...
The latest stage in our so called relationship is my lack of affection for him or essentially the 'just a buddy' stage .. which started 2 months ago courtesy a string of events that unfolded between Goldy and myself while in G and M …this also resulted in my formulating an anti chipko movement against him.. after all he isn’t a tree I reasoned… his name isn’t Ashoka… it’s Goldy.. so why this affinity to chipko to him…
What really happened is after Goldy moved to M in June for work we got a chance of going to G together.. Garry was going with her friends and after much coaxing I got Goldy to actually come.. (it’s funny really the amount I had to beg and plead with him when going to G was actually his idea.. all I did was mention that Garry was going and had asked me and I wasn’t planning to go cos I didn’t know any of her friends and he suddenly made her plan his plan and forgot about it.. leaving the logistics and actually figuring out if he would come or not to me…)
G came and went and sadly I have not one magic moment that I got back from there.. except the foot squeeze he gave me at the train station which was about the only time my heart fluttered the rest of our trip was spend either fighting or … well .. fighting… Goldy doesn’t understand what I mean by ‘G was not magical’..he insists it was a good trip and that we hardly fought so it should be good…and I agree despite the fighting it was fun but again .. not magical… Goldy and I should have been like this love lost honeymooning couple but instead we were like this old couple on the last leg of their lives ..having exhausted their supply of viagra.. spending time in some Ashram or something.. it was weird..!!..i ( we must have been giving out those old hag vibes so obviously cos the guy at the shack lit every candle on every table including family tables..all but ours.. I had to force Goldy to make the waiter light our candle before we made him click our picture…you can clearly see the candle was lit right then and there for effect …:( …) .. In a way its good when I hear him say he remembers the trip fondly and it was fun for him.. shows he’s not like those silly boys who are only into u know what .. but it doesn’t do a great deal for my desirability quotient…it was more like this… a lil nooky never hurt no one…and so a lil nooky is all I got….not more.. but way way less…!!!
After G came 5 days in M which I planned cos I wanted to meet him before I left ..but Goldy as usual had other plans for me.. I had to change the venue of our meeting cos of last minute unforeseen family circumstances (due to my family being blissfully unaware of the Goldy factor in my life) .. called Goldy to give him the news the night before and then had a conversation almost reminiscent of someone asking him for a kidney … (sad sad life I have ..)..after much ado and arguing I realized I was being treated unfairly (duh!!) and that it was time to show the tad lil bit of self respect I had left and told him there were bomb scares and I did not want him to come at all … period!!.. Needless to say.. he happily agreed…!! Idiot!!
The whole him not meeting me before I left episode and G not being as it should have put a few things into perspective …!!.. all of it accumulatively as you can imagine put a damper on my affection for him…So came into effect the anti chipko movement which by my standards has seen some real progress… it’s been 2 months and counting and Goldy and I’ve spoken only thrice and that also at his behest. .!! .. I do have my days when I wanna just run to M and into his arms and chipko to him like I’m bonded to him with super glue..till he decides the only way I will leave him is if he enters the men's toilet… !!!
When such insanity hits me I call Garry and have our dose of male bashing talking about our dysfunctional relationships with the opposite sex and by the end I conclude ….
If all men are dogs.. I got their king and she got the heir to the throne….!!
(She of course insists hers is the king pin ..but then ask any woman and she’ll want that title for her own man … )
