C h a p t e r -1 4

I flung the door open in frustration when someone held me tightly and kissed me without a word. On opening my eyes, I saw it was him. It was Louis. Oh my god, he was here to give me a surprise. I held him tight and kissed him back as passionately as I could. I had missed him so much. But his arrival at this time had surely complicated things much more. After what I had just heard, I wish he wouldn't have come now. I have to sort things out and ... Ok, why am I thinking about Samrat while kissing louis. He was here and that was enough. His passion had overpowered mine and it felt as if he would never drawback and I held on. Suddenly there was a cough and we parted. I looked to my right and Dia, Benji and Samrat were standing right in front staring at us. I became a little more conscious thinking about how bad Samrat would be feeling when Ramona came from behind Louis and hugged me, "Gunjaan, C'est tellement plaisant de vous voir nouveau" (its so nice to see you again) she said. I introduced Louis and Ramona to my friends. "Samrat, this is Louis and his siter Ramona" I said, and the looking at them I said, "And this is Samrat." "So, you're the person who made Gunjan cry so much.." Louis commented. I could see the confusion on Samrat's face and I felt kind of embarassed. "Excuse me?" Samrat said. "Oh, didn't she tell you? She cried so much when Dia told her about your accident. She was shivering so much" he said. Samrat smiled a little and said, "Gunjan is extra sensitive about her friends and family.." "Very nice to meet you Samrat" Ramona said. Samrat had decided to put on another act and started to flirt with Ramona, who seemed to enjoy it. But I distracted myself with Louis. "Told you, I had an intuition that you would come" I said winking at him. "How could I not come.." he said smiling. "Oh, and Louis and Ramona, this is Benji" "Benji, Louis and Ramona" I introduced. "So this is Dia's boyfriend?" Louis asked. "No!" Dia exclaimed. "He isn't here now.." she said relaxing a little. "Pleasure to meet you Benji" Ramona said. "Thank you so much for coming! Where is your luggage?" I asked. "Oh, I asked the chaufer to drop it off at the hotel." He said. "Why hotel? You can stay here, with us." I offered. Samrat made a face but I don't think anyone noticed. Samrat was very judgemental about louis. I could make out from his expressions. He was clearly eying him and kind of checking him out. But he would obviously not find any faults, he was such a simple and handsome man. "I don't think it would be right for me to stay here.." he mentioned and as a matter of fact he was right. I don't think mom would have approved it also. "Okay. But you can stay here the rest of the day!" I said.

They sat down at the dining table while I went to get lunch for them. "So Samrat, how are you now?" Louis asked. "Much better.." he smiled. "So what are your plans for the future, any aims?" he asked. "My dad has a hotel business I would take over in sometime." "Oh, that is great" Louis commented. "I have always loved hotels" Ramona said as Louis nudged her. It was so awkward for me to sit there and listen to them talk. I really wish I hadn't listened to Samrat and the others talk. Oh god, why can't I just mind my own business. All my fault. Atleast this would have been a lot easier. Dia made matters a little lighter by complimenting the dal I made. "Smells so good! Why don't you guys start?" she said. It was the first time Louis and Ramona were having Indian food. "Do you two want something else? I don't think you've ever eaten Indian food?!" I asked. "No, its fine. You've made it, we'll have this only." They took roti's and after explaining all the vegetables I had made they began. Benji choked after a bite. "Are you ok?" I asked. "Yes, actually I just remembered that I had already eaten lunch before coming. I am so full.." he replied. I understood ofcourse. Wouldn't anybody? He didn't like the food I made and he was making it so clear! "Its amazing!" Louis said and Ramona nodded. "I really love it!" she said. Dia had half a roti and said she was stuffed. While louis had three! I tasted the food myself and it wasn't that bad but there was like no masala in it. Samrat had given up on me. He made me cut a fruit for him while Louis and Ramona kept saying how amazing the food was. "I'll make better food from tomorrow!" I said apologizing. "Its okay. You aren't used to it, right?" Samrat said. I just smiled apologetically. "firang kitna khata hai!" Benji commented. Dia spat out water and Samrat and benji just burst out laughing. As for me, I was trying, I was .. really really trying hard to control my laughter but it was so not helping. What is wrong with Benji? Such weird comments at the wrong times. Louis and Ramona looked puzzled. "What's so funny?" he asked. "Gunjan! You didn't teach him hindi.. Translate please." He said. I wacked him on his arm and then looked at Samrat for help. As usual he helped me, "He just said that Dia looks huge in Polka dots.." I laughed a little and this time Dia slapped Samrat on his arm. Oh my god, I don't think I had laughed so much in ages.

We were all sitting in Samrat's room and talking when the bell rang again. I went and opened the door. It was Claire—and two others from college. Uff. What is their problem? Why can't she just let Samrat live in peace. She shot me an evil grin and went inside. "Hi Sam"— she trailed off seeing unknown faces in the room. I came in and introduced everyone. "You mean, a real prince?" she asked when Louis told him what he did. "Yes!" I answered. "Dude, are you kidding me? That crappy description of your dream man actually came true?" she asked. "Shut up Claire." I said. Why did she have to mention all this in front of Louis. Now Benji and all would just make more fun of me infront of Louis. "What description?" he asked. "OHMYGOD!" Benji jumped up.. "She.did.not.tell.you?" he asked in utter shock. "umm.. no.." he answered. "I'll say it the way she does. I've got practice noww.." he said. ---" I am waiting for a person who is independent, not too proud and not one who thinks he's superior, he should be handsome but also honest, someone true to me, someone true to himself, who would love me & treat me like a princess, who would be nothing less than a prince himself and who would always be near me, morning, day or night." He said, trying to mimic me. Louis laughed a little, on the way Benji said it perhaps. Even Dia, Claire and the other girls laughed. The only two people who did not find this funny were me and Samrat. "Aww.. That was so adorable" he said, leaning in and kissing me. I pulled away quick because I didn't want to make Samrat feel awkward. I just.. I don't know why.. I didn't feel comfortable anymore around the two of them together. After knowing how Samrat feels, its unfair if I romance Louis in front of him. Samrat also looked distracted. He didn't look my way. He was lost somewhere. I went towards him when Claire put her leg in front. By the time I saw, it was too late. I tripped and I fell on Samrat.. Our eyes met and before there could be any sort of connection he screamed, "Ouchh" I jerked back. "Are you ok?" and then turning to Claire I screamed, "What the hell Claire? What is wrong with you!!" "I am so sorry" she said as innocent as she could be. "I didn't see.." "Relax Gunjan.." Louis said. "It's okay, Louis, Gunjan has always been over-protective of Samrat.." she said with a small smile. Now I was sensing what she was trying to do. She just couldn't she me happy could she? She had come here to ruin my life. Louis didn't say anything to that but just smiled. What would he say.. it must be sounding wrong to him, ofcourse. "So Gunjan, your taste changes so fast. Switched from Samrat to Louis now?" she said making it so much more awkward. I was quiet for a moment. I was unsure of what to say. I had to mark my words because if I said something wrong, Samrat or Louis would be hurt and I couldn't hurt any of the two. "Claire!" Samrat yelled. "There has never been anything or that sort between me and Gunjan, we have always just been friends" Samrat said standing by me, as usual. I could lipterally slap Claire. Why was she doing this? What would she get out of all this? Was she over Samrat the moment she saw Louis? Now did she want the 'rich handsome prince'. Im sure she must be thinking, that how did Gunjan get such a man, who according to Claire didn't exist! After a little while of bickering and faking her kindness and good nature, she left.

Dia and Benji also left after a while. Ramona went to the hotel and then it was just me Louis and Samrat. I gave Samrat his medicines and we sat beside him. "So Louis, for how long are you here?" Samrat asked. "Till whenever Gunjan wants me to stay.." he said. "Forever!" I said dramatically. Louis laughed a little while Samrat had a little frown. There was silence after that and it just got more awkward when Samrat said, "I think I need to sleep for a while.." So we got up and went outside. On the way to the living room I told Louis, "I am so sorry for the scene Claire created. She was one of Samrats' many ex-girlfriends and thinks that Samrat broke up with her because of me.." I said. That was true, but only half of it. I didn't know how Louis would react to the other half. "I can understand Gunjan.. Its totally fine" he said. I always though that I was lucky to have Samrat. I didn't need someone as good as Louis. He makes me feel guilty. Idon't feel like hiding things from him. He's so truthful and simple that it feels so wrong to lie to him like that.

Dear Diary, Its scary how things and outlooks change so suddenly. Till today morning I considered Samrat just as a friend and in this one day I happened to know that he has loved me for over a year! Why wouldn't he tell me anything? I didn't date too many guys in college, I was always available. Was it because I always had such a perfect idea of who my man would be? Or maybe he didn't want to take the risk. He knew if I said no, that would be the end of our friendship. Huh. What friendship? Just look at whats happened now? I rewind all the memories of the year and I just realised what he meant everytime he said something. Maybe he actually proposed to me on my birthday but on seeing my reaction he quickly changed the topic. Maybe he went out with so many girls so that he could get distracted from me. He wanted us to be best friends and to stay away from all this awkwardness. God knows what is going to happen in our lives. Where is all going? How will it end.. who knows. In between all this, Louis is here. What am I going to do? Its so awkward when Louis kisses me in front of Samrat. Imagine how bad he must be feeling. He is already injured and now this.

I started remembering the album he made on my birthday and the note he wrote at the end. All that he did because he loved me. He helped me through my tough times because he loved me. He has always been there for me because he loves me and not because he thought of me as a friend. Sometime or the other I will have to face the truth, I will have to confront him.. then what? All this will be over!? I don't know. All I know is that there is a very special place for Samrat in my life and I need him, always.

Did it matter that he loved me? Did it change things? ALOT. Completely. TOTALLY. I am still in shock but I really don't want to bring it up now, atleast not until Samrat is alright.
