You just did it for Dr. Saanvi.\u201d \u201cThat was different.\u201d \u201cOkay, but you were in tears when I cried confessing about my past.\u201d He is trying hard to convince me that our shedding of tears for each other is due to our friendship. \u201cDoesn&#8217;t it feel weird that we used to be strangers to each other two months ago and now we cry for each other?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I scoff in a sarcastic tone. \u201cIt doesn&#8217;t. It feels like discovering something we have been missing all the time since our marriage.\u201d He whispers softly and I lock my gaze at him. \u201cDev! Do you think dreams can be too much? Like beyond reality or like too many expectations?\u201d I ask all of a sudden. \u201cIs this related to your argument with Dr. Saanvi?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I somehow feel amused by how he refers to her as Doctor despite Saanvi being my best friend. \u201cYeah.\u201d &#8220;I think the answer is simple. Dreams are pure imagination, and imagination has no limits\u2014so why dreams should be bound by reality? We can\u2019t control what we dream about or who appears in them.\u201d He pauses, his eyes locking with mine, and I wonder what he meant by \u2018who.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s truly something\u2014so rare, so sensible. &#8220;That\u2019s a beautiful thought, Dev. But what if dreams set us up for heartbreak? Maybe that\u2019s what Saanvi was trying to make me understand.&#8221; &#8220;Anything is possible if the universe conspires to make it happen. It\u2019s just a matter of time.&#8221; &#8220;Oh, you really think so? Is it okay to have foolish dreams?&#8221; Dev chuckles at my question, and damn, it sounds like music to my ears.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why call them foolish? One day, they might come true. Just keep dreaming.&#8221; He ruffles my hair like I\u2019m a kid, and I push his hand away playfully and I like this. \u201cThere\u2019s a food truck over there. Would you like to have anything?\u201d He inquires. \u201cCan I have Falooda(a mughalai cold dessert made with vermicelli)?\u201d \u201cSure!<\/p>\n<p>But you don\u2019t come out. I will go and bring it to you.\u201d \u201cIt&#8217;s okay! We can just eat at that truck.\u201d \u201cNo, no! It&#8217;s already cold outside. You will catch a cold so please be here. Let me bring it to you.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Holding On To Us Can love conquer compatibility?
