chapter 29

I started relating his story to mine. My boyfriend, Vicky, also cheated on me. I asked him patiently, “Then what happened?”His eyes turned moist, he said, “When I realized that she was not going to leave my friend. She wanted to stay in a relationship with both of us at the same time. My heart broke. I could not continue. I blocked her from everywhere and even from my life. Then I never turned back.”My eyes turned moist to hear his story. He must have felt that he was a great storyteller, he brought tears to my eyes but he didn’t know that I was also cheated by somebody. I saw my own boyfriend taking another girl in an old house where he was going to get her laid. It was a heart-wrenching scene which still haunted my mind. I wiped my eyes with my handkerchief and said in a low voice, “You did a great job by blocking her from everywhere. She deserved that. By the way, is she still in a relationship with your friend?”He said, disturbed, “Not only my friend but also she has found a new guy in place of me.”I said almost cursing, “Shame on such girls. What kind of girls are there in the world?”He said, “If a girl wants to go in relationships with many boys at one time then she should say clearly to a boy that she can make relationships with others also. But these kinds of girls never say that openly. First, they say I love you. I want to be only with you. But after some time, a boy comes to know when she was saying I love you to him, at the same time, she was also texting "I love you" to five more boys.”I burst into laughter, “Haha!” Seeing me laughing, he also started laughing. He must have thought that despite his lie being caught, he still managed to impress me. I abruptly asked him, cutting his stupid laugh short, “Hey, I forgot to ask you one thing. Why did you lie to me initially?”He thought for a couple of seconds and said, “I don’t want to remember my past.” He started becoming emotional or perhaps he pretended to become emotional, “Whenever I remember my past, it hurts me very badly. My past has become my weakness.” A shining tear appeared from the corner of his eye and fell on the table. I said to myself within my mind, “He is not lying. I have gone through the same experience. I know it hurts. Past break up memory is the most hurting disease that one can ever experience in his or her life. I can empathize with him.”Suddenly, he broke up and started crying like a small kid. I panicked to see his condition. I thought, “Oh ho, what has happened to him? He seemed to be a very strong guy but I guess emotionally he is very very weak.”I placed my hand on the back of his hand to comfort him and to console him. Quickly, he turned his hand upside down and caught my hand tightly. Now, I started feeling uncomfortable. I didn’t like his touch. But now the situation was such that I could not even pull back my hand. I didn’t feel he had any plan to leave my hand. He had started enjoying the softness of my hand. He said, “You made me remember my old memories.”Divya - I am sorry. I thought, “When will you leave my hand?”Again, he said something very stupid that I didn’t like. Out of nowhere he asked me, “Can I get your number?”I didn’t want to say yes. I was about to say no when I heard Vaishali’s voice which came from my head itself, “What are you doing, Divya? Give him a chance! I told you to give him one chance at least.”I said, “Yeah, sure.” I told him my number. Quickly, he saved my number and gave me a miss call saying, “This is my number. Save it. I will call you in the evening.”I thought, “Oh, now, I know what’s going to come in the evening.” Vaishali came back. She said, “Oh my God, still you are sitting here. Check the time it’s 5:15 p.m.”I shouted, “Oh my God, I am very late! I have to go to home.”Vaishali said, “I thought you would have gone. But I didn’t know you are still here.” I got up from my chair. Sahil had not left my hand yet. He said, “Don’t worry, your mom will not say anything.” I jerked my hand a little and got my hand released from his strong grip and said, “Today, my mom will eat me. Bye, bye!”He was still looking at me. He was in no mood to leave me. He said, “I can drop you at your home.” I said, “Don’t worry, I have my own scooty.” I left the shop. Vaishali also left. When Sahil was about to leave, the shopkeeper came to him and said, “Pay two thousand rupees.”He replied to him, “Vaishali has paid all the bills.” He said, frowning at him, “These two thousand rupees are for sitting with the girl without ordering anything. Sitting here is not free.” He thought, “What the hell! It’s very costly to sit with a girl in this city. I am fed up with this. Here everyone just needs an opportunity to extort money from a boy. Huh!” He gave him two thousand rupees and left the shop. Reaching home, my mom gave a nice class to me. She said outrageously to me, “I told you many times politely to inform me if you are coming late. You are neither calling me nor picking up my call! You have no idea what it means to be the mother of a girl!”(It will be so nice of you, if you leave at least a single word comment and please don't forget to follow me and become my superfan.
