THE PAST UNVEILS
2 1/2 yrs back
The commentators voice smooth as silk, issued from the speakers.
"Well well looks like the match is in hands of the new player in the Tigers team Uday."
Everyone in the audience were screaming "UD! UD!" the cheerleaders of the team were dancing
Uday with his brilliant ability to dodge the players was heading towards the basket
i watched from the front bench among the audience. Yes after 6 mnths of seperation i had decided to surprise samrat by appearing on this very important, players selection match.
"Oh God pls pls uday bhaiya u can do it u can do it"
"and the player is ready to go for a basket n ooooh it missed but the ball is again in his hands n he passes it to player 11 Samrat"
The audience screams with even more energy "SAMMY!! SAMMY!!"
I looked over at him there he was his face fixed in concentration, i knew he will do it, he can.
"and player 11 is heading in his full speed towards the basket .yes frnds one more basket and tigers will win but it is hard to manage as they hv got only 15 seconds"
I heard the commentator over the loud voice of cheering
"come on sammy u can do it!"
"AND BASKET!. TIGERS TEAM HAS WON THE MATCH"
Every1 in the crowd applaud in delight.
"The audience is very happy, well congratulations Tigers a well played game,the whole basketball court as you can see is crammed with players n coaches wishin each other on their victory the cheerleaders too,"
Uday looked at sammy in amusement as he saw a girl come all over samrat.
commentator- "ohh and look at the lucky boy being kissed by one of the cheerleaders, might b his girlfried huh?"
Gunjan's pov
I just stood there staring at him. Girlfriend? samrat's girlfriend!? and samrat. It seemed as if i was frozen at my place i couldnt move. I felt my heart shatter to pieces. i dint even had the strength to breathe. He had lied to me… all this time.
--------------
Udays expression turned from amusement to shock he looked around to find tht the audience was screaming and some wolf whistling and among them at the front bench was gunjan. "Gunjan!?"
hearing her name brought samrat back to his senses he pushed the girl away from him. The girl looked at him in confusion. Samrat turned to Uday "ya u r ryt. tht shouldnt have happened"
U-"No dude Gunjan there"
S-"Kya!? Kahan?"
He looked at the direction where Uday was pointing.
Samrat's pov
True chashmish was there. The sight of her caused me immense pain, one he had never felt. She was completely heartbroken her face tear streaked.chashmish turned and headed to the exit.
No She cant leave i have to explain this to her.
I pushed n ran past everyone towards gunjan. It was very difficult as people were stopping me every now n then to wish me
I ignored them all.Gunjan was more important.
I saw her heading towards the wash room.
S- "chashmish"
she had heard me i was sure i gathered speed & walked faster but my legs didnt seem to work mayb coz of the exhaustion of the game i finally caught up with her and caught her hand she turned
I wanted to kill myself for this, i had caused her so much pain. Her expression changed from hurt to tht of cold hatred
G- "DONT U DARE EVEN TOUCH ME!!!" she yelled as though she was disgusted by our close proximity and yanked her hand away.
I stepped forward without touching her in any way
"chashmish wat u saw was"
G- " WAS THE TRUTH!"she yelled again
S- "no gunjan listen to me first"
G- "NO I WONT" she yelled again her expression was filled with hatred n disgust
S- "pls can we settle this politely log kya sochengey"
G- "log kya sochengey!? u knw wat I DONT CARE!...
S- "Gunjan please"i pleaded her
G- she seemed to hv agreed as she took a deep breathe n looked at me.Her expression still held the cold hatred towards me "Wat Samrat i came here to surprise u! i thought u wil b happy seeing me here but u ...u broke my heart sam"
S- "chashmish i dint mean to. Trust me"
G-"thts wat i cant samrat! i hv seen it with my own eyes u and ur girlfriend..kki" She turned not able to continue
S- "Gunjan i dont knw tht gal u r makin it a big issue"
She turned again
G- Samrat! i cant believe u. you think wat happened was nothing!?
S- no i meant tht these all things happen gunjan! tomorrow i will be a famous player.. these all things happen and i love u gunjan..they r just fans"
G- "FINE then stay with ur fans .....m leaving"
S- "Gunjan! TUM ITNI SI BAAT SAMAJH KYUN NAHIN SAKTI!!" i yelled at her angrily completely losin my control
G- "Kyunki main tumhare tarah nahin hoon..meri soch alag hai! mujhe pehley hi samajh jaana chahiye tha ki tum yeh relationship handle nahin kar paogey. Isliye behtar hoga tht we end it right here"
I looked at Gunjan not believing wat i had just heard
she turned around "Gunjan tum itni chhoti si baat ki wajah se"
G- "chhoti si baat tumhare liye hai samrat mere liye nahin"
i held her hand she looked at me with full hatred though i could see the hurt clear in her eyes
S- "Do u really mean it. u want to end this all"
G- "yes i really mean it"
S- but gunjan i love
G- i find it hard to believe she said bitterly
S-"Then how the hell am i supposed to make u believe it!!" i yelled losin my control again
G- "You dont have to ..u hv proved it!" with tht she walks off
S- "Gunjan NO!"
she turned
"Dont ever call me again" with tht she left
fine if this is wat she wants than be it!
with that i walked back into the locker room.
As expected Uday was waiting for me there. he looked at me questioningly
"later" was all i could muster
he dint push it.Mayb he felt my anger.
