2 States The Story Of My Marriage

‘Close your eyes,’ Guruji said.
‘I have,’ I said and shut them again.
‘What keeps you awake at night?’
I kept quiet.
‘Do you take a long time to go to sleep?’ he probed.
‘Yes,’ I said.
“What kept you awake lately?’
‘Various things. There is work, which I am not exactly exited about. There’s
uncertainty about Ananya. There’s my father.’
‘What about your father?’
‘It’s complicated,’ I said.
‘And a heavy load, isn’t it?’
I sighed deeply.
‘Let it go,’ Guruji said.
‘I can’t. I don’t want to. I haven’t even talked about it.’
‘I’m listening,’ Guruji said. He bent forward and placed his palm on my head. I
felt a new lightness. I felt transported to another world. It was as if my soul had
disowned my body.
‘Guruji, don’t make me do it,’ I begged, not wishing to revisit the pain that
awaited me.
‘Go on, I’m listening.’ Guruji said.
