So when Mara Mae told her best friend she was going to get married to Raghu Thapa, where wasn't as much celebration as she hoped there would be. I'm so happy for you, said Smriti, and I hope you guys are together forever. So quick, I didn't even know you were seeing him, good for you, this is one of your life's greatest moments, and really nothing or noone should come in the way of your happiness, everything's gonna go great, and it'll be awesome. Awesome awesome awesome, I'm soo soo happy for you! Oh I forgot to congratulate you I think, congratulations on getting engaged and ready to get married, and while I'd have liked a heads up before I'm really really excited for you guys. Real excited.
What's up? What are you not telling me? Quick spit it out Smrits, Mara said. She was a particularly observant person, she knew how her friend worked and what each of the tone of her voice meant.
Nothing, really, this is all so so great and it would be really crappy of me to tell you something bad about your fiancee. Yeah, I'm sure he's an incredible human being and he'll have perfectly good explanations for each of the little thing and you'll be mad at me for not being fully happy with your momentous occasion, stop talking to me and that'll be the end of it. Actually, that might happen either way considering... Anyway Mara, I'll warn you, he's not the nicest guy in the world. He's creeped out a lott of people I know -- nothing overtly physical, that I know of anyway, but who goes around, sending links to porn to casual women friends they barely know from college? And who the fuck tells an acquaintance they just met that they're fuckable and no that's a compliment, when the mutual friend's gone away for a moment. And so on and on and on. And I'm really happy for you really, but I think that person's a manipulative, psychotic asshole creep and you deserve so much better, so so much. But if you've decided that this is really the one, and nothing can convince you otherwise, I have only good wishes for you! He was probably just an idiot who's reformed now, you like him and fell in love with him so clearly there's another side of him that nobody told me about, and that's something new. Maybe he's a great guy and I happened to hear just the bad stories. Don't give this too much thought babe, Smriti said, tears in her eyes.
Mara paused for a moment. She'd open her mouth as if to say something and exhale without any words, uncertain how to phrase. She was sweating a little, it wasn't very warm in there. She shut her eyes for what seemed like a long time. Tiny pearls of tears appeared on her eyebrows, spreading around kohl and eyeliner. She sobbed. Once, twice, thrice.
I'll give your words a little thought, babe, she said finally, I need a little time to process all of this new information. I'll be back, she said, as she left the room in a horry.
