Tell me your conditions-he demanded

For a moment I flustered but then keeping my random thoughts in order I spoke-

I HATE MEN , MAYBE BECAUSE I NEVER FOUND ANYONE WHOM I COULD RESPECT

Then I will try to become your anyone

I WONT BE ABLE TO TRUST YOU , MAYBE NEVER

We will see that

Why the hell !! He was agreeing to everything I was saying , I was pretty sure he could hear the thumping of my heart not because we were sitting close to each other but because my heart refused to slow down, I was embarrassed.

DONT CALL OR TEXT UNNECESSARILY I DONT LIKE IT

Ok

ALWAYS SIT OR STAND TO MY LEFT .

Got it

DONT TOUCH ME WITHOUT MY PERMISSION

Dont worry I wont ,never

WE CANT MEET EVERYDAY

Then Lets select two days of the week for coffee. Will it do??

Hmm Friday and Monday at 3??

Done

Anything else??

No

He was smiling in the end as if he won but I was sure I wont work, then he enquired about the bracelet so I gave it to him and he broke it and said

I didnt knew it would be this much of coincidence ,bit you know in this bracelet there are only six big beads and rest are small ones ,lets do this am giving you all six big beads representing your conditions and you give them back to me when you will remove any of your conditions one by one

Its childish

It is but this way it wont look tough, just say-you are going to give me those beads back so that I can give you those in new form, just like magical pond .

But what if in between six months you realized that am the heat of summer for which you would find shade not the warmth of winter you crave for

Am the heavy rain for which you will like to open an umbrella not the tiny ,soft droplets you are ready to soak in

Am the flower of graveyard representing sorrow and regret not the happiness and joy you want

He smiled

Am not joking - I said , almost irritated

Why do you think am this much confident?? He asked

I dont know-I replied

Am confident because I trust you , your soul ,your heart ;I also know that all these conditions came from your life experiences and trust me whether these are thorn pricks or sword cut , these will heal if you are going to face them head on.

Those words somehow comforted me and I felt reassaured , I saw my hands holding those six beads (my conditions) ,will I be ever able to give him back anyone ?? I dont know

I wanted to ask him about the ring he was wearing but I couldnt ,maybe I didnt wanted to hear that it was mine ,so I left it for some other day and thats how our relation started.
