Haughtiness in Love

understand it very well. I did this task on your behalf. Meaning of your name is pride or self- esteem.” Jawl replied.

  “Really”

  “Yes baby, perfectly suits on you” Jawl said.

  “What is the meaning of your name” Iba asked.

  “Jawl means to move freely as per my personality.” He replied.

  “Can I ask you something, if you don’t mind” Iba asked him.

  “Yes sure.”

  “Actually I was thinking of you at night..” Iba said.

  Jawl interrupted, “Really”

  She yelled again, “Not in that sense, listen to my whole sentence. Your dad is a famous politician. I was thinking you will too join him. Then why are you giving these all PMT exams. Please don’t increase competition.”

  “I am doing for my dad. He wants to see me in professional dress of doctor because I am brilliant in studies. Further I am not dependent on him. I will start my career in politics on my own base not on my father’s name. I will be a doctor only for my dad and then I will start my real career” Jawl replied.

  “Self praise has no recommendation….. brilliant in studies” Iba said with pride.

  “Hello, I scored 97%. What about you?” he asked.

  “96%”

  “Now say, who is brilliant” he asked.

  “Obviously you are. Why you want to always engage in brawl” she replied.

  “You started first. I am just finishing it. Why are you giving these exams?”

  “I want to be a famous surgeon” she replied.

  “Give me your contact number” Jawl asked.

  “Why?”

  “We will reach here on same time and will sit together.”

  “Why?” she asked.

  “I am tired off to give you answers of your ‘WHY’. We will sit together because you are first friend and first enemy of me here. I want to fulfill my duty for both professions as a friend and as an enemy. Will you?” Jawl said.

  Iba thought for a while and then she replied, “Ok”.

  They both exchanged their contact numbers. They were too comfortable with each other. Now it was regular routine to reach on same time and sit together. They became friends. The word enemy curbed for some time.

  Their friendship was increasing day by day though it was not agreed friendship. They never committed their friendship. There was no relation still they were too close to each other. Iba found a mind-boggling thing about Jawl that he was bashful. Initially she thought him as uncouth but he was too sincere. He was uncomfortable with other girls. He was dashing boy. So many of girls tried to talk him and so many of them tried to pester him. All the time he searched space to hide from them. One day he found best place for it. He hid in Iba’s car.

  Iba went to car and opened the door. Jawl pulled her inside. She fell down on him. Jawl closed door rapidly.

  “What are you doing Jawl?” Iba asked.

  “Please save me from these flirts. See my bike. There is no space for me. They are sitting on my bike. Where will I go? You are my friend. You can understand my problem. I am waiting. When they all will move from here then only I will leave your car. Till than stay here with me.” Jawl said.

  She understood everything and started laughing. She told him mockingly, “Will you stay here with me in this position. Dear Casanova, leave me” Iba said.

  “Oh, I am really sorry Iba. I had no intention such like that” and he leaved him. Both they were feeling embarrass.

  She took her seat and said, “This will be your regular routine. I will suffer for this.”

  He replied, “Will you not do this for your friend?

  She said, “Friend or friend’s motive. You are using me.”

  “Hey, don’t say these words. If you think so, than I will do this. I will kiss you here because I am using you. I can prove.” Jawl said.

  “Shut up. I didn’t mean that. I am just saying that you want to save from those girls. Because of this you are with me. Where is friendship?” she said.

  “Believe or not, I don’t care. I will not take permission to call you my friend or I will not offer you friendship. You are my friend that’s it.” He said.

  “It is not your right to do friendship with me without my permission” she said.

  “It’s my right. Accept it” Jawl said.

  “Why?” she screamed again.

  “Because I am saying this. I am Jawl dsena and don’t say this ‘WHY’ again.

  As per her routine she said everything to Riya.

  They were enjoying the time with each other. Gradually little infatuation took place between them. But they both kept silence because of ego and career. They were able to share everything with each other but not this feeling. They hid it. Those small combat and arguments were routine part of their life.

  Now that did not remain mere infatuation while there was love between them. They didn’t commit but they were fully aware about this feeling. But pride and ego was typical factor in their love life which prevented them to share this feeling with each other.

  One day when Jawl was sitting in her car he suddenly asked her, “Can I kiss you?”

  “Why, Do you love me?” she asked.

  “No” he replied.

  “Then, are you my boyfriend?” she asked.

  “Not yet” he replied.

  “Shut up. You can’t kiss me because there is no relation between us. I am not your girlfriend and we don’t love each other. We are just friends” she replied.

  “Relation is not must to kiss anyone” Jawl said.

  “Ok, then ask for this from those girls who really want to kiss you and you are hiding from them. Relation is not must. Further you want to kiss. So use them. So many beautiful girls are here.” Iba replied.

  “But I want to kiss you not them” Jawl said.

  “But I don’t want” saying this she stepped down from car and moved from there.

  “Where are you going” he asked.

  “I am not your property. You are not my boyfriend. You have no right to ask me. I am free to move or to visit any place. I will not take your permission for it.” She yelled.

  “Accept it or not, I have right on you” Jawl replied.

  Iba ignored him and moved from there.

  In evening she was sitting alone in garden. She was thinking of Jawl. She was thinking, “I am not feeling bad because you offer me kiss but I am disappointed because you do not want to accept any relationship still you want right. I am not getting it. You are my friend or more than it. If you are mere friend than you have no authority to ask me for kiss still you asked. But there is no relation between us. Further you are not Casanova type. I am confuse….” Meanwhile Riya called her.

  Iba told her everything. She replied, “Don’t worry give some time to it. You will understand everything”

  “Ok I will wait” Iba replied.

  In the same way Jawl called Atif and told him that he offered kiss to Iba.

  “Are you crazy? How can you do so?” Atif asked.

  “I don’t know what happened to me at that time? I had no intention to hurt her. Even I didn’t insist her. But that feeling was genuine. I was not jesting at that time.” Jawl replied.

  “Ok. No one can bear this. She is your friend not your girlfriend. She got disappointment because you denied any relationship and you have no authority to ask for a kiss in friendship. First solve this matter and apologize to her for whatever you have done wrong.” Atif replied.

  His ego was coming in front of sorry. Still he tried and called her at night.

  “Hey tot, how are you?” Jawl asked.

  “Fine” she replied.

  “I know you are not fine. I am sorry. I was jesting at that time. I had no intention to hurt you. You are my real tot and you will always. I mean real friend. There is relation of friendship between us. Forget that kiss. That was a joke.” Jawl said.

  “Ok. Thanks for calling me friend as I was confused.” She replied.

  “Will you for
give me?”

  “I have already forgiven you. Because I am fully aware of that fact. That was mere a joke.” Iba replied.

  “So we will not talk about this topic again.” Jawl said.

  “Yes” Iba replied.

  Jawl was unhappy. He was regretting. He was thinking, “I am sorry. But that was not a joke. Sorry for telling lie. I respect you and you have always treated me as a friend. How can I do so with you? I am sorry. I will remain your friend forever and never ask you about this. If you will feel something, than you are welcome because I like you genuinely. But I will not do this again.

  Iba thought, “He made this clear that we are just friends. So Jawl… don’t expect anything from me. If you feel genuinely something than I will be yours otherwise I will not. I will not talk about this topic again because we are just friends”

  After five years-

  In this way after completion of coaching their ways get separated. Iba worked for her dream and successfully completed her studies and turned into surgeon. Jawl too completed his studies. He was Dr. Jawl Dsena. But he didn’t move further in this field. He turned towards politics, as his dream was to be a famous politician. In this duration there were no meetings between them. They concentrated on their work and career.

  That was so long time. They never met in this time. Only phone calls and chats once in three or four month were there. They were in touch still they were far away from each other. They talked in same way as before but never committed their love. But there was astounding thing between their relations. Whenever Iba felt her alone and remembered him, he called her always. Same was with Jawl. Some miraculous powers were there between them which were able to read each other’s heart.

  Iba felt that Jawl didn’t love her. That was only friendship. Further she never
