Bhai... My voice was filled with liters and liters of confusion... I may be able to fool the world but this one man can never be fooled... he knew me too well...
Khushi...??? What's wrong dear... Why you sound so confused...?
Huh? I snapped out of my thought as soon as I realized my brother caught me... Noo.. noothing as such... I'm fine.. not confused... and no I don't want to ask you about my feeling for him...Nothing bhai...
Feeling about him??? Khushi... who is the he?
Ohh crap.. when my head is not in its place why do I even try to act smart... I thought!! Now bhai already knew even if i didn't wanna tell him...
Khushi... what is the matter angel... tell me... I'm getting worried now and you know right you can't lie or hide anything from me.. so don't even try...
Bhai... actually... ermmm... I narrated the entire 2 days to bhai... I told him how I first saw him, then him having my phone...then meeting him in the temple and also the bet... then Amna and her silly but worthy dinner idea... I was about to tell bhai about the kisses too but i stopped as I knew he wouldn't like it at all...
This was the very first time I was telling bhai about a guy so passionately... he alwayz asked me if I liked anyone or if there was anyone after me... I would just brush him away by saying "Nope bhai... there is only 3 main important male in my life... Papa, Shivji and You..." I can't handle the fourth wan...
But it felt like everything changes... My heart feels overwhelmed welcoming the fourth entry... but my brains wasn't ready... I don't know what was stopping me... My dad is traditional minded but he doesn't mind his daughters finding a life partner on their own... only condition is there should be a thick boundary before marriage... and he shouldn't be hidden... so family's blessing wasn't an issue... then what was...? I wasn't sure myself...
Khushi... morning I gave you a good news.. and now you are giving me a good news... nice wan tapeli... (Tapeli comes out when bhai is really relaxed and in masti mode)
Bhai... how is it a good news??đ
Well... atleast you didn't kill the guy... knowing you and your crazy ideas to suhhh guys away... surprisingly this didn't happen here... nice to know my dear... Oki... so back to the topic... what is the issue then...
Bhai.. I don't like him...
Lolzz tapeli.. you wanna try lying and see if you succeed? Bhai knew me too well...
Bhai... I'm not trying to lie.. but I'm not sure... I mean how can someone know they felt for that person... I mean seriously... I met him last nite... hated his arrogance... I met him today morning and hate is overconfidence... and at nite I'm having dinner with him and surprisingly I enjoyed it... Whats going on bhai... 𤢠this is irregular...
Khushi... love is always confusing... no one is able to wipe the creases on your forehead except you yourself... Do the thing you always do when you are in confusion... probably you will find answer there... I'll wait for your call and remember... no doors should be close... they all need to be opened up... It must be really late rite now.. rest and go tomorrow in the morning... You will get your answers I'm sure...
Bhai ended the call and gave me a ray of hope to find my answers...
He was right... I need to do my usual thing... I cleaned up the dishes, tidy the kitchen and took a cold shower... I was just thinking about my conversations with him during the dinner... the kisses... What did all that mean... I can't wait for tomorrow morning...
I went off to bed without realizing Amna wasn't back home... But i was too lost in my thoughts and I don't know when i felt asleep... It was a very peaceful night... how come...I don't know...
It was 6am.. My eyes automatically opened up... I saw Amna sleeping next to me... Ohh shoottt... I forgot about her last nite...đ she must be dying in curiosity... I wanted to let her be in it a while more... I needed to sort out my head before I can tell her about the scene yesterday...
I tried to make the minimal noise possible and got ready after my shower... Plan of the day was very simple...
1. Mandir
2. My relieve spot...
I drove to the temple.. prayed and somewhat this time I was so conscious.. Was I hoping to meet him here again... I đ to my own thought... He returned my phone.. so no calls to disturb him that would disturb him from his sleep...
Wait.. my phone was back with me.. how come he didn't call me..? I mean at least a text... I didn't tried contacting him too.. Did he mind my behaviour yesterday...? I was worried now...
I quickly prayer and ask Devi Maiya to show me the right way... I then took the prasad and went to my car... I wished he was standing there... but nop... that was just my crazy imagination...
Now i arrived my destination... my relieve spot...Kuala Lumpur Lake Gardens
Nothing can probably calm me down... but the freshness in the air here surely kills all my tensions... I love this place... really love it... Sad, happy, you can find me here when i need to clear my head...
I sat looking staring at the trees around me and the lake.. Tried seeking for my answers... I asked myself.. why am I afraid of letting him in my life..? I believe in love but I'm too afraid to let anyone be so close to me as they always end up hurting you...But he seems different... Yea he is arrogant, rude and egoistic... but he is still sweet and caring...flirtious.. ermm may be a little... I blushed at my own evaluation... đł I closed my eyes and question myself if I should give it a chance... My brains said.. "Ermm.. if you see a bird near you.. then yes... otherwise nop!!"
I slowly opened my eyes and I saw no birds around me... got really disappointed but accepted it... Just as I was about to get up and go.. I saw a bird near the lake... I smiled so widely... đ I should give it a try I thought...
I quickly called bhai... Of course he didn't answer as he was fast asleep... I left a voicenote... I needed to tell him first... since he didn't pick up I left a note for him so when I go home I can answer Amna...
I quickly and excitedly drove home... Amna was having her bowl of cereal...
Khushi!!!!! I have been waiting since last nite you idiot... Doll you knew naa I would be curious... She started blabbering as soon as she saw me by the grill...
Kangaroo.. relax.. I'll tell you everything in detail... I sat by her on the dinning table and explained to her the entire scene... She heard it patiently... *I was surprise at this for sure...* Kangaroo enjoys dipping her interruption thoughts in every convo.. but today she was just hearing...
Now was the biggest news I was about to tell her...
"Amna... I think... ermm... May be.. I don't know but... I guess..."
She just hugged me sooo tight leaving no gap for even air to pass...
"I'm sooo happy... awww finally finally Khushi... you liked him right..? Amna question though she knew the answer...
"Yea Amna... âşď¸" We both hugged again and she jump towards the room and played a lovely song... She asked me to dance and we started dancing... laughter was just in air...
It didn't last long though...
I thought of calling him... wanting to know if he was alright.. well probably I needed to hear his voice...
The first time i tried calling... i got nervous and hanged up within a second itself... What would I tell him... I wasn't sure...
Few minutes later... I composed myself and tried again...
Hey.. Its Arnav Singh Raizada Here...
I heard this and almost melted... Before i could reply the 'Hey..' i realized it was the voice-mail answering it... I was extremely disappointed but thought he might be busy...
I left him with a note and hoped he would call back after hearing it... I went on doing my work but never failed to check my phone for almost 100 times... I made sure my house phone was working too just incase you know...
3 hours passed but no trail of his call... I was worried or probably sad... Why hasn't he call me back... he didn't even call or text last night... I hope everything is okie... I silently prayed...
Khushi.. i need to shop a few more things... and you know right day after tomorrow I'm leaving... so please let go out... Amna reminded me that she is not here forever...
I hugged her tightly... I'm not sure if it was because she was leaving or because Arnav hasn't called back... whichever was the reason... I needed her to calm me down...
I composed myself and got ready... we both went out to shop... the time passed and I totally forgot about the call...
"Khushi.. did you call him or did he call you" Amna innocently asked while looking at a shirt she wanted to purchase for her dad...
Call?? ohh crap... I forgot about it... I quickly took out my phone and was heart broken as there was no missed call from him... đ He might be busy i tried to relax myself... but it has been 6 hours now...
I just gulp the thought down my throat... It didn't go unnoticed by Amna... Hey relax... he will call yaa... I softly smiled not wanting her to be worried... I wanted to spend good time with her.. She will go day after tomorrow... time passes by so fast I thought...
Amna spent almost $300 dollars... yet wasn't satisfied shopping.. but thank god the money was almost over... she was disappointed but I was thankful... lolzz was too tired walking around the mall...
We had a quick dinner and went home...
"Khushi.. I'm just in the room sorting this out yaa" Amna said while walking in the room...
"Yaa sure... I'm going to ermm call him I guess..." my tone went softer as I didn't intend to tell her that...
I tried calling again and wow... it rang... I got excited but chills went down my veins... Again all the confusing thought roomed my brains... What will I say... should I tell him...
Just as I was thinking.. my called was answer...
Hello...
I was about to reply but the smile faded from my face... A girl answered the call... but i could hear his voice too...
"Kinjal... return the phone to me... Sweety please... It must be an important call... pass it to me yaar...Don't test my patient dammit..." that was everything ASR said...
"Nooo nooo nooo ASR... let me go.. oouucchhh let me go.. please please... honey please..." That girl pleaded...
Tears just rolled down my eyes... What the heck was this...? Sweety... honey...? My head was now pouting so badly.. I felt like someone had just punched me so hard... tears just flowed as if one left a tap in the bathroom on... My world was shaken off... I just hanged up the phone... I couldn't take it further...
What just happened... What did I just hear... What was all that about...? I couldn't stop thinking and tears weren't stopping as well... I just stood there lifeless... I seriously had no idea what was going on...I wanted to run and hug Amna... just then I heard her talking to me..
'Khushi.. you can't imagine how happy am I...Sooo excited... Your poor ASR has to give me a gift of my choice...'
Gift? Amna caught my attention... Why gift Amna...? I asked anxiously...
Ohh Khushi... we both had a bet... Amna answered...
BET!!!!! I was shocked...
Yup... you know when you were talking to someone while drinking water (Me and Sejal, my relative)... He told me he wanted to talk to you so he is going to ask your number... I told him that wouldn't work... and I gave him this as an idea... and we both had a bet that you will call him within 48 hours... and you did that already... so I won the bet...
48hours...??? I was now beyond shocked... Amna played such disgusting game... she was and is my best friend... how could she...
This explains everything... he didn't call me since last night, he didn't revert back my call... and when I called again... a girl picked up and she was being addressed as sweety... she called him honey...
I felt gross... Was I a punching bag... Was I a betting material...? What was these people thinking before they played with my emotions... never i let any guy close to me because I knew they will hurt... but today... I'm not just hurt by the guy but my best friend also...
Having no response from me made Amna come out of the room... She saw me standing lifeless by the couch...
'Khushi!!! She ran to me and hold my shoulders... What happened yaar... why are you crying... talk to me Khushi..." Amna was hell worried...
STAY AWAY AMNA!!! My voice was filled with anger, hatred, disgust and all sort of feeling... You cheated me.. you played betting game on me???? What were you thinking Amna...? I'm a human that too the one close to you and you of all person did this...
ASR... that man has a trail record of breaking people's heart through his words, actions, rudeness and arrogance... but you Amna... I can never imagine this... I honestly liked him Amna... I really fell for yours and his trap... you won your bet... and his ego must have won too...
He challenged me and here... I gave him easy victory... his ego must be hurt when I walked away without thanking him... so he played his cards... and you played yours... disgusting...
I didn't even let Amna say a word... I just ran to my study room.. locked it and cried endlessly...
"It was true... never let someone so close to you because they will end up hurting you..."
Just the song to suit the entire part...:
Well this is the exact way it happened with me... I was really heartbroken...
First time I felt someone stabbed me so badly... My best friend bet on me...? The guy that I liked for the first time had played such tricks... I was all numb and lifeless after knowing about it... It was really extremely painful beyond imagination...
An Important Note: The next part will be the last part... I would tell you guys how the air got cleared and how everything settled down... It will be a long part because I will pick bits and pieces from here and there of my life while the clearance stage... it wasn't just a day and all solved... so yea.. Then I won't be updating this OS further...
humsafar... this is specially for you as you wanted to know how did me and my ASR met đł
