He:
|
You
know you are a sadist.
|
She:
|
Am
I now?
|
He:
|
Yes,
you are. You don’t realize how difficult it is for people around you to
listen to the fact that you wish to die. The way you throw it around so
casually. Not flinching about it even for a second. Talking about your death
at every possible instance.
|
She:
|
You
know I talk about this thing only to you?
|
He:
|
I
know. So you think it's easy for me?
|
She:
|
I know it's not. And I do feel
guilty for making you live under my shadow of 'impending death.'
|
He:
|
And
you still do it?
|
She:
|
As
if you've never toyed with the idea of death and never talked about it with
me?
|
He:
|
I
don’t do it on purpose
|
She:
|
Neither
do I
|
He:
|
As
much cynical as I am about life, I wish I could say something or do something
to hold you back
|
She:
|
Hold
me where?
|
He:
|
Here.
To this world. Even if I try I would sound like a hypocrite to my own self
|
She:
|
But you still try that, don’t you?
|
He:
|
Yes
I do. As if you have never tried doing that? Try to talk me out of it.
|
She:
|
Have
I now?
|
He:
|
Yes
Madam. You have. You are a step ahead. I atleast let you talk about your
death. You don’t even hear a word about it from me.
|
She:
|
You
know the irony of both of us consoling each other to hold back to the world is
that none of us believes it and yet we want the other person to believe
it and stay back.
|
He:
|
You
said it.
|
She:
|
I
sure did
