Those 5 minutes

It was an unusual meeting between 2 lovers. 'I'd expected some wacking and banging between the two, but they both behaved like good boys.' Zia was at trupti's place telling her everything that happened yesterday.

'One of them was a gentleman.' Trupti said looking at zia with a searious glare. 'What do you mean?' 'Zia. Don't feel bad to what i will tell u now. Why do you think aunty still lives with uncle till date?' Zia gave a super confused look at trupti. 'Are you kidding me trups. They're married for damn 25 years. What question was that..?'

'They fight for 12 hours a day, and other times, either aunty is out or uncle is out of the house. The answer is..they are together only for you.' 'So.?' 'So are you going to pay them back like this?' 'Like this? Means how?' Zia was getting trupti's point in her head and it showed in her eyes. Trupti continued. 'Look zia.You are a brilliant student. You have a successful career ahead of u. No doubt about it. And jai?' Both held a silent pause.. 'Mohit sir is settled and super handsome too.. he loves u.. why dont u think about him ... i feel you are simply wasting your life with jai... ' Zia interrupted asif somebody has abused her love. 'Trupti iv never found love in my life. My parents were always fighting to prove each is greater than the other. And i was their punchbag. Each and every time. When i was a toddler till today. Zia had 2 spoons of rice, wtf,i will show you how to feed. And dad used to hold my hands together and push spoons over spoons inside my little throat. Can u imagine what agony a 5 year old must be going through?? What..... vaccation... zia wants to go for a movie with friends, how dare she. Dump her in her bedroom and lock the door. Oh see.. how well i care for our daughter. And you are coming now from office to peck her 2 kisses on cheeks? That's all your responsibility towards her?? Fights fights fights and fights...' there was a long pause and zia eyes started watering.. She sobbed and sobbed covering her eyes between her palms. Trupti kept looking at her allowing her to pour out. 'Do u know?. From the day i could understand, iv always, each day prayed to god to send me someone who loves me unconditionally, who'll take care of me,understand me and hug me lovingly..'
