They have been silent for over two minutes now.. both holding onto the phone waiting for the other person to say something....
She knows he will ask, "Dont you have anything to say?".. And if she says no.. he will say, "Fine." and hang up... most probably without saying, "Bye"..
She could beat him to it.. She could be the one to ask, "Dont you have anything to say?".. and it would be his problem.. to say "No" and be the reason for the end of the conversation.. or to come up with something to say and acknowledge that he needs it to continue....
It shouldn't be difficult for two people like them to come up with something to say.. But the routine is such, that after the two minutes of the 'I-dont-care-to-say-anything' silence, inorder to continue the conversation, you must let go of all pride and acknowledge that continuing the conversation is important to you even if it isnt for the other person.. and in that lies the deflating of the ego which built up over the two minutes of silently wondering who will be the first to ask the question...
"Dont you have anything to say?" he wins.
"No" .. she wins.
"Fine." he hangs up.. (and yes.. wins)

sometimes that two minutes of silence can set lots of things straight!!
he he, curious to know what happened next.
sometimes not saying anything can be defeaning...maybe both of them enjoy the sound of silence...one of them definitely does...they find hope in those two minutes...enough maybe to last the distance...till the thirst returns...and then one of them suppresses their ego...coz those two minutes are all they have...beautifully written Miss Maya...I liked the way the tragedy is expected and yet...and yet...
dude Imroz,u r on a very wrong track. 2 minutes of silence is bullshit n nobody enjoys it.even Maya doesnt. like she said its just EGO or i think it could be 'pangs of separation'.
My friend,
Firstly I have a problem with the fact that you conceal your identity, are you afraid of being critisized by name...anyways...as for what maya was saying...my perception of the blog spoke about what they held in their hearts and not what words they spoke...everyone can say something and feel something else...above all...the real beauty about the written word is that you can give any meaning to the blog depending on your perception...so instead of being critical of my perception...just enjoy the blog...!!
cryptic....but I'll make my own deductions,thank you!
How come I've never seen your blog before?!!
