You misunderstand me for everything I say or write to u.. n so I have decided that I will not say anything anymore… she said with hurt and anger so evident on her pretty face…

He stood there with his head bowed in acceptance… yes, she was right… he had said or written things which could be construed as a misunderstanding or even misinterpretation of her point of view… and this was not the first time he had done that… he knew he deserved the chiding… BUT…

But then he was just acting naïve… because he was tired of playing Mr. Know All at work, with family, among friends… he was tired of being the confidante, the pacifier, the comforter, the sympathizer, the allayer, the counselor n whatever else for all the rest… he too wanted to be attended to, to be sympathized with, to be comforted, someone needed to allay the fears in his mind too… and he thought she understood him..

He just loved the way she would try to knock sense into him when he uttered something silly… he loved the way she would try to pacify him… most of all he loved the way she showed her concern for him… he enjoyed all that attention… n for him it was... Yeh Dil Maange More.. yes he became greedy… he wanted more of it… as much as he could get… and to that end, he would pretend to not understand her or sometimes he would pretend to be silly so that she would try to knock sense into him in her own endearing way… but little did he realize that in all this he would end up hurting her…well !!! she construed all his tomfoolery as “him misunderstanding her badly” or even worse “him not able to understand her at all”… standing with his head bowed in shame (for he was ashamed to have hurt her)..  he thought... its only fair that she thinks that way... not her fault... anybody would have thought the same … BUT he thought she understood him better than that…

Now she has stopped talking to him… well she doesn’t talk the same way as she did before… her mails are few n far apart… they don’t bring with them that sense of pristine affection (that would make his day ) anymore… but he understands her… he knows she is still concerned about him… she had always wanted him to be happy... but then why did she have to stop talking to him…Or well!! change her way of conversation… why couldn’t she just understand that he was doing all this to gain her attention… he had always thought that she understood him much more than anybody else in this world…

So while she thought he was misunderstanding her… did she realize that she failed to understand him… will she ever realize that he is still waiting at that same junction..(I guess this is better expressed in hindi.. woh ab bhi zindagi ke usi mod par intezaar kar raha hai).. where she decided to stop talking n move on…

on his knees… with his hands clasped in a silent prayer… praying for her to come back… and be his comforter.. counselor.. sympathizer.. n everything else...

Will she ever understand him…
