Chapter 7 Midnight strikes
Present scene
"Tell me Madhu, it was him that day, Wasn't he? Something happened that day between u two n that's why u left the place. U seriously thought I would buy your stupid message about u not feeling well?" Trishna said mocking the last words. I looked down to the ground ahead of me. The sec I had send her that message I knew she wouldn't be convinced. But I'm so grateful to her that she didn't ask me about what happened that day n respected my privacy. I wouldn't have wanted to talk about it with anyone, nor do I do today. "I'm not talking about it". I declared. "Fine" she crossed her hands. "I won't push u. But my point is why r u letting him or whatever he did, ruin ur life. Not everyone is him. U should be able to see people for what they are n stop being so damn judgemental. Rishi is a good guy n u shouldn't break his heart". I took a deep breath n answered. "First of all", I looked her in the eyes, "Its ironical that u r lecturing me on being judgmental when u r clearly judging me n my choices without knowing the whole story. N secondly I shouldn't be blamed for breaking his heart. Rishi n I r friends, we had been the same since the very start. I had never promised him anything. It's not my fault that he has developed some... some stupid feelings for me". I said throwing my hands in the air n she shook her head in disapproval. Somewhere I knew I was being a jerk for saying all this crap but I couldn't help it. This has been buried in me for too long and I need to get it out. "N what the hell r these feelings. We r medicos n we know this better that all these feelings n bullshit r nothing but just some messed up hormonal levels in our brains. It's just a temporary infatuation. U give it a rest n then everything hits back to normal. That's the normal physiology of our body. We r smarter than believing in that novels' n movies' love-crap. I'm sure Rishi would get over me soon". As those words left my mouth I couldn't believe it was me who just said that. Always been a hardcore Bollywood fan n there's hardly any romance novels that I lay my eyes on n won't finish reading in one go. I would always fantasize about all those characters having a perfectly happy ending with the love of their lives. N yet there I was ranting about how f**ked up n unreal it was in real life.
"No one gets to tell you what u should or shouldn't do". I was stunned on hearing that voice behind me. Trish waswequally shicked. II slowly turned around to find Rishi standing there. Shit! "It will always be ur choice" He said looking at me, all the pain n anguish clearly reflecting in his eyes. Oh how much I hate myself for breaking his heart. "Rishi!" I called his name with the guilt evident in my voice. "Don't" he steps ahead n holds my hands. "Don't take it back, whatever u said. Madhu I will never blame u for not wanting this. I said it will be your choice, remember? N it's not like I would die if u reject me". He chuckles slightly, rolling his eyes. "I liked u as a person for who u are n I wanted to spend more n more time with you. So decided to ask you out. But u r not obliged to accept this offer. Before all this we r friends n I that wouldn't change in either of the cases. I'm ready to wait for you if ... that's what u need? " He looked at me uncertainly. I was feeling pity for this man. He is the nicest person I know n I can't believe that I'm the one to cause him this much pain. I see myself standing in his place, when I was this helpless n desperate in front of...him "Rishi" I finally spoke. " I like u as a person too n I m sorry for being so harsh on u but I really don't know how to explain u this. I don't want you to wait fr me. Because I know I wouldn't want it ever. Can we... Can we stay friends" He looked at me n I saw his lips pull into an approving smile. "Only if u promise to complete my pathology journals. U owe me that much Maddy" I laughed hearing his playful remark. Thank God everything is clear n sorted. I didn't have any energy more in me to handle this "Sure" "Ok so now lets go to your room before the others decide to come down here too. U wouldn't want to miss all the perfect party setup we have up there" I looked back at Trish n she gave me a half smile. I know I need to apologise to her for being so rude but that can wait. It was almost midnight n so we quickly hurried towards the building.
I was just done washing all the cake off from my face n hands n decided to lie down on the bed. This had been a long tiring day. No actually the day has just started n what a start it was. So much drama n change of energies in the first hour itself. I really hope the rest of it is way too milder than this. I grabbed my phone to call my mom. She had called me earlier but I couldn't talk with all the crazy shouting n music around me. I dialed her no. n she answered on the first ring itself "Happy Birthday Madhu" I guessed that is what she said because I wasn't able to get her voice clear. Damn this network' I cursed. I told her I'll call her later n moved towards the window in an attempt to get better network. My eyes shifted to the garden outside. It was cold n quiet there n I thought about going there n having sometime to myself. It would relax me plus I had to get my head clear.
I got into the elevator n pressed for ground floor. My earphones were plugged in n I closed my eyes as I leaned on the wall letting the music soothe me. Nothing can beat the old classics. "Kya hua tera vada...!" I hummed, all engrossed into the song just when the lift halted n to my horror a couple entered, n they were all glued to each other's body. SHIT! THEY WERE MAKING OUT. The doors closed n they were still stuck up. I guess I could have puked any moment. I quickly straightened n looked away. "Ahmmm..Guys hello" I tried making them realize my presence. God! This is awkward. They pressed against the buttons n all of them hit together. At once the lift stalled in between the floors. "What the hell!" The guy grunted as he pulled apart. He turned around to look at me n I saw the face that I hate the most in the world.
"U!"
