Today, i'll tell you the dramatic story of Opu and Anamika's relationship. Before that, let me tell you, in India, relationships are NOT cool with parents. They find it stupid and cheap. So, naturally, this patch up was hidden from the parents.
I remember playing a game of hide and seek with everyone. Opu and Anamika were coming towards us, running and laughing. That's when someone said ''Don't they look good together? Opu has often been caught sharing secrets with her too!'' and that's when the teasing started.
And then i had to finally corner Anamika and ask her if she liked him. She just smiled at me mysteriously and said ''Ask him first''
And so after a lot of persuasiveness, Arpan Gupta ray (Opu's real name), admitted that he likes Anamika.
I was the happy carrier of this news. Then Anamika also said that she had a crush on Opu since the first day they had met. And then both of them were together.
It even resulted in a lot of quarrels, but we managed to keep this a secret.
Meanwhile, Anamika has a friend called Chhotu , who had found out about the two of them and was threatening to tell Anamika's mom. We held her in an arm lock and told her to swear that she wont tell Aunty ANYTHING. After a lot of difficulty and menace, she agreed.
But on one occasion, she got really angry, she called Anamika's mom and told her each and everything, and very meanly she even added that from now on, whatever Anamika said to her about this matter, it would be a lie, and not to believe her. Anamika, in a very bossy manner, with an air which said ''I don't give a damn i am the apple of my mom's eye'', she went to the phone and said ''Mom when do i come home?''
But Aunty's voice was curt and sharp ''Right now. We need to talk''
.....
Me, Nimmi and Diya could listen to Anamika arguing with her mom inside he house, crying, choking on tears. Then all went silent and i couldn't believe when I was called in by Anamika's mom.
She said, she only believed in my word and she wanted to speak to me.
I was called into Anamika's room, where she was lying face down and crying. I wish i could go and console her. Her mom asked me if any ''i-love-you's'' or ''kisses'' had been exchanged. I knew i am supposed to tell the truth. A lie would make it worse. I remembered Anamika blushing on Valentine's day and telling me that Opu had called her in the staircase and kissed her on the cheek, also he had said he loved her. I told this to her mother, only to be rebuked by Anamika, who was denying that this had happened. I told her that you had told me on Valentine's Day. And then she confessed it was all a joke.
So they broke up and Anamika was grounded. Opu still loved Anamika. Anamika had strange dreams about Opu.
This so very dramatic romeo-Juliet tale PART 1, remember, ended right here.
