“But I dont know you well enough.”
“You are not dying to come here to see me, of course you don’t know me well enough.
Now come over here.”
“You don’t know anything, and you are calling too late.”
“There are two cups of tea in front of me. I just made them, still hot. It would be too late when they get cold.”
“What makes you think I want to?”
“How do you look in that dress?”
“Can’t stop looking at myself in the mirror. I want you to see me in it.”
“I am waiting.”
“You are crazy, his family is here, my family is here. Did I tell you my brothers love him so much. And my friends, they have flown down here.”
“You think I would want someone who wont have loads of family and friends around her on her wedding day?”
“Is it the adrak wali chai?”
“If you werent on phone you would have known.”
“You dint want the kids, you dint want to settle down. You had your coffee girls.”
“I drink only tea now. And it is getting cold.”
“Do you love me?”
“I don’t know what is love. I do know that I want to have this tea with you, listen to ‘better together’ with you, watch all those movies you, and of course punish you for the horrible thing you are going to do to that poor fellow.”
“But I don’t just drink tea, I have to have the lily flowers around, a bite to eat, exactly like that night.”
“That perfume was my wedding gift to you. How long are you planning to hide behind that door?”
“Till I know its the right thing to do.”
“What is troubling you the most right now?”
“That the tea is getting cold.”
“Then I guess it was the right thing to do.”
