Soch Lo

How would you handle it if your partner’s EX wants him or her back?

If u love someone,
set him free,
if he comes back,
he is yours,
if not,
he never was.

As soon as I read this title above lines hit my mind which we used to recite in our school days.

And As I suddenly found myself trapped in the imagination.............
One fine Sunday morning I am sitting on the breakfast table with my hubby and kids waiting to be served with hot and tasty Pastas and the door bell rang. There was Suhana outside. She is my husband's colleague. We also get along very well. I opened the door, gave her a nice hug and welcomed her inside. But somehow I felt that she is not the same as always.

Suhana stays alone in a rented house in a posh area of the city. She often used to visit our house. We use to spend quality time with each other. We use to prepare snacks together always trying something new.
My hubby used to do some office gossip with her and we use to do gossip about the world. She had the ability to crack jokes on each and everything.

I don't know but there was some hidden charm in her. I used to get amazed while talking with her. She could easily talk about politics at one minute and move on to great
Curry recipe in another. Everyone ay my place was fond of her because of her nature.

My hubby waved and said his usual "Hey". I asked her to join us for Pasta. She declined with a polite thank you and went to Sofa. She wasn't in her usual self and was
Sitting like a statue. I could feel something wrong in the air surrounding and was waiting for her to speak up. I tried to cheer her up by staring some gupshup and her response
Were monosyllable. At last I lost my patience and asked "Are you okay? Why are you so quite today"? She broke her silence with words which came to me like bolt from the
Blue,” I love your husband Maya, please give him back". I was dumbstruck. Nothing came out from my mouth. Somehow I managed to look at my husband who was looking
at Suhna in great surprise. He got up and asked what are you saying Suhana?

Suddenly it came to my mind that is Suhana joking and making fool of me. I managed a smile and asked her What is the meaning of 'give him "back" to you'? He is all yours
just send him to me when my maid is absent and he is supposed to clean the utensils. Suhana said Maya I am serious. We both love each other. We were dating each other
for all the 3 years of college. Due to circumstances we couldn't get married back. But I always had hope that he will come back to me someday.

Raj ....Raj what the hell she is saying I blurted out some how. with tears in my eyes. I was bewildered, feeling betrayed, broken down.There was no emotion left which didn't go through me.

Should I try to convince him to stay with me? Or should I let him decide without any influence from me? I’m afraid this whole thing will turn into a battle of ‘who fights for him
harder’. But NO I’m not like that, if he chooses me, I want it to be because he loves me, not because I had the ‘better argument’........

"Mamma I got 10 on 10 in Maths today" I was put to reality by my 7 years old son as he entered the house screaming and shouting. Meri jaan me jaan aayi.....oh, it was all
imagination, thank god, I am saved. But the next moment I thought what all I was thinking in the end was real me? Am I that practical? I recalled the T-Shirt quote in
today's Newspaper "Don't follow your heart bcoz it’s not on the right side”. I smiled.
