She replied,” Nothing. Why do you ask?”
“Your eyes and the way you are indicate that you are not good. Tell me what happened? Did you eat?”
“Nothing yaar. Just not feeling well. I will eat after some time.”
“What? Do you know what time it is? It is 4pm now. How can you skip your meals? Let me go and get something for you to eat” saying it he was about to stand up. She caught his hands and gestured him to sit. So he obeyed her.
“Varun. I don’t feel like eating. Please don’t compel me. I am in a bad shape now if I eat something then I will be in worst position. So please. Did you eat?”
He thought to himself,” Oh! So now I get it. I think she is suffering due to her periods. She could have shared it with me. What is there in this? Isn’t it nature for girls to get it? Let me itself ask her.”
“Maya, are you in this state as you have the girls time?”
Maya liked the way he asked. He didn’t mention as periods or menstrual cycle or chumps. He mentioned it as GIRLS TIME which means that he was aware of what and why they have also means that he respect those time. She smiled at him and simply nodded her head.
