You've got chat!

I had this conversation below, a few days back, with a very dear friend's hubby:

GagL: hey
can i ask for a favor?
me: sure
GagL: if u r not busy?
me: go ahead
GagL: has wifey mentioned any new friends recently like from her work?
me: naa
v hvnt talked abt her office
GagL: or has she mentioned some new acquaintances anywhere else?
me: naa- she hasn't
GagL: ok
one ques
did she have any boyfriends at school if u dont mind?
i mean was she a flirty type?
me: no- she wasnt
& naa she dint hv any boyfriends
not dat i know of
but i would hv known had she had any
GagL: ok
just wondering these days
me: i guess it's normal 2 wonder but really u hv nothing 2 worry abt
GagL: i guess i am getting paranoid
but
sometimes.......
one wonders..........
me: seriously GagL, pls put dis out of ur mind
nothing 2 worry abt
GagL: i can put things out of my mind
but my eyes cannot deceive
and neither can my ears
something is up
me: c'mon
i dont believe it
GagL: i didn't either
me: she really loves u
datz wat she says alwayz
GagL: but she really has a thing for men in power positions
i mean
men who have more influence than i
me: talk 2 her den
i don't know abt anything
GagL: and lately she has started acting moodily
and wants to spend more time in office
but nobody is there
i know it
the phone rings and nobody picks up
she comes home and claims she is not hungry
i know why
the other day i say a restaurant receipt in her purse
i am telling u
something is up
some guy named iqbal
she was even saying his name in her sleep i think
u sure she has not mentioned anything?
ok
in this time of crisis all have turned their backs......
that's ok
later
i will get to the bottom of this mess
once and for all
me: hey sorry- sum1 was @ my seat
i really hv no idea
i m sorry- i really don't know how can i b of help
GagL: marry me then....that will teach her a lesson

Oh yes, it took me all this while to realize that I was the butt end of quite an elaborate joke. Now, that I go through this little chitty-chat, I realize I should have picked up the nuances relatively early- first "power positions" & then "guy named iqbal" was a dead giveaway. Well, all I can say GagL, is that I whole-heartedly acknowledge your conniving abilities and am glad that I provided you such a wonderful opportunity to laugh your head and backside off.

Just wait till I get back!

And, you know what- I might just marry you, just so as to teach you a lesson!
