Pichle Saat Dino Mein....

First of all I would like to thank Almighty God for rewarding me with all his blessings, ever-loving parents, guides, friends and critics who all are responsible for guiding me on every hard and critical situation.

This story is a real and hard effort from my side to entertain my readers. Lots of emotions and moments are joined with this story, so I personally feel that this story will be liked by every one. For making this story worth reading I would like to thank my ever ready friend and the best critic Aman Sachdev. I would also like to thank Sidhant, Rishabh, Kanika, Radhika, Sharine and please my apology to those who have appreciated me and made me write something for you.

My last but not least thank to my brother Puneet who tries to find those very silly mistakes in emotions that sometimes I forget. But I always follow a saying

Practice makes a man perfect

Prologue

‘Hello Mr. Romeo, what happened???, I told  you to be  beware of these girls. One day you will repent’, I told Saket lying on the bed in  the PGI hospital.

‘Hi, I should have listened to your advice’, Saket replied.

‘How are you now??’ I asked him.

‘Better than yesterday, who told you about this??’ he asked.

‘Raghav told me, I don’t think that you would  have ever told me’, I replied.

‘By the way what happened?? Raghav  just gave me a hint, even he doesn’t know about the full story. Tell me in detail’, I added.

‘Leave it dude, please’, he replied.

‘Tell me otherwise I will hit you harder on your left eye’, I said.

August 16, Wednesday

It was the month of august after our first term exams got over , I was sitting alone in the classroom. I don’t know exactly but all my classmates were absent that day. Our chemistry teacher, Mr. Umesh Kumar, was also sitting on his chair, busy doing his own work. Raghav was also absent that day. He was to come late that day and I was busy in reading my class notes.

‘May I come in sir?’

It was a female voice and I was hearing it for the very first time.

‘Yes, please come in’, sir said.

My mouth wide open and the only thing I whispered was OMG!!!

A girl wearing white shirt and grayish short skirt, 5’2’’ tall, with snow white skin, long silky hair, smiling  with dimples on her face, with sexy long legs entered the classroom.

My mouth still wide open. She was one of the most beautiful girls I had ever seen in this world and to be precise in my entire life. Love at first sight????? Was it???? In fact  the second crush of my life. For the first time I could feel a song going on in background of the situation. My heart was singing

Pehli Nazar Mein

Kaise Jaado Kar Diya

Tera Ban Baita Hai

Mera Jiya

Jaane Kya Hoga

Kya Hoga Kya Pata

Is Pal Ko Milke

Aa Jee Le Zara

Mein Hoon Yahan

Tu Hai Yahan

Meri Bahon Mein Aa

Aa Bhi Ja

O Jaan-E-Jaan

Dono Jahan

Meri Bahon Mein Aa

Bhool Ja Aa

O Jaan-E-Jaan

Dono Jahan

Meri Bahon Mein Aa

Bhool Ja Aa

‘Yes?’ sir said.

‘Good morning sir, new admission’, she replied. Her voice was as amazing as she herself.

‘Ok, what is your name?’ sir asked .

‘Devika sir, Devika Malhotra’, she replied.

‘And which trade???’ sir asked again.

‘Sir medical with additional math’, she replied instantly.

‘Students are not there today, so I will give lecture tomorrow. You can have a seat or can ask for the  previous lectures’, sir said.

‘Thank you sir, I’d rather have seat today’, she said.

Classroom was empty, only me, sir and now Devika was there, rest of the classroom and seats were empty. She had ample of choices to be seated but seeing me sitting alone; she came near me and got herself a seat.

Devika: may I????

Me: oh yes of course….

Me: hi, Saket Arora

Devika: hey, Devika

Her wish made me feel that I should never be talking to this girl again. But like a dog  who cannot resist a bone, I tried conversing again.

Me: so you’re in non medical. Right????

Devika: no, medical with "additional math", I guess.

She sounded like she hated math or confused for the expressions she gave using those quotes made by hands.

Me: aren’t you late??? I mean it’s august and classes started from April.

Devika: not exactly, I was in St. Mary’s College since last 4 months, study wasn’t good there so I shifted.

Me: ok, so basically you are here for studying. Right????

Devika:  not exactly, but crowd there was not so good, you know what I mean?

How could I know what exactly she meant, but still I agreed to her.

Me: ok….. By the way you’re very beautiful…..

WTF!!!

She met me for the very first time and talking for the very first time and what have I said. I was scared about what  she will do next; nobody could ever expect such a thing in their first meeting.

Her eyes were staring me like I  said something really bad about her. She was stunned.

Me: I haven’t proposed you; I just said what I felt for you. I am really sorry if you felt  the other way.

Devika: it’s ok

I forwarded my hand to her

Me: friends?????

Her eyes went again like they were a few seconds ago. She was staring at me as if I had proposed her.

Devika: ok

She said without even responding to my hand.

Me: I am not proposing you!!!

I laughed and she smirked and shook hands with me. She looked amazing, I got lost in her thoughts and I forgot to leave her hand after shaking it. She pressed my hand hard to make me realize about the situation.

Me: oouuucchhhh…… I am really sorry

Devika:  it’s ok

Me:  by the way it’s not my fault.

We both laughed over the situation.

My watch struck 11 am and it was time for common lectures with commerce students. So students started arriving in the classroom and the next lecture started. After that we didn’t have much talk besides seeing each other for some moments during those boring lectures. Raghav also was with me after 11 am break and he was noticing me.

After college got over I went along with Raghav to his home.

Raghav: what’s going on dude?????

Me: nothing yr….. I just had a talk with her during our morning hours

Raghav: just had talks for ONLY 2 hours????????

Me: yea…..

Raghav: I am your best friend and I can read your mind.

Me: it’s nothing like that

Raghav: go ask her out!!

Me: are you mad….????? We met today and how can I propose her without knowing her????

Raghav: do you love her …..???? Then what’s the problem????? Its 2012 dude, you have to be fast….. Otherwise there are lots of choices…… you can know her after proposing her.

Me: are you with me???????

Raghav: of course I am with you….

Raghav boosted confidence in me to propose her and I was pretty much sure that I was going to propose her the next day. I had fallen in love at first sight and I wanted her desperately in my life.

Tumhare een khoobsoorat aankhone muzhpe jaado kya chalaya
samhaj mein nahi aata ye kaisa jam tumhne pilaya
din ke ujhale me bhi na jane kahan sa koh jata hoon mein
samandar se gheri een band aankhome bhi doob jata hoon mein…

August 17, Thursday

With a fresh new morning I had fresh new ideas to propose her. Having back up plans also for every expected problem except for one which I forgot that initial lectures of the day were common lectures of all students. My classmates who were expected to arrive at 11 am were already there at 9 am. But some one whom I expected wasn’t there. She reached the classroom 15 minutes late. So I decided to propose her after 11 am. Raghav was with me time after time inspiring me and boosting some confidence in me to propose her.

Some how I passed those 2 hours and waited for the moment when she would be free. After about 10 minutes she got free and was sitting alone. It was the best time to talk to her. I went near her and started the conversation.

Me: hiii…. How are you????

Devika: hiiii…. I am fine…. How are you??

Me:  I am great. You were late today.

Devika: yes, actually my cousin arrived today morning, I was with him and he dropped me here.

Me: actually I wanted to tell you something…

Before I could say the next word her cell rang

Tujhe dekha to ye jana sanam

Pyaar hota hai deewana sanam

Ab yaha se kaha jaye hum

Teri baahoo…..

And she picked the call

Devika: hello

Yes

Wait, wait…..

Just wait I am coming in just 2 minutes

Byee byee….

Me: I was saying….

Devika: hey…. I am really sorry but I am in a hurry now. We’ll talk tomorrow if its not that urgent, or is it?????

Me: oh not that urgent…..

Devika: bye take care cyaaa…..

Me: bye tc…..

And in a flash she was out of my sight.

SHIT!!!

All my plans failed. Raghav came near me.

Raghav: hey… what happened??? You proposed her???? What did she say????

Me:  nothing happened yaar…. She had some urgent work so she went. I missed the chance.

Raghav: don’t worry, I have a fantastic idea.

Me: what???

Raghav: your birthday is on Saturday. Let’s throw a party and invite her and propose her on that day.

Me:  and what if she refused my proposal????

Raghav: she will have pressure of your birthday yaar…. It will not be that easy to refuse a boy like you. Trust me.

Me: ok let’s do it….

I decided to throw a party for her on my birthday and prepared the list of requirements.

I was prepared for my birthday alias my proposing day.

August 18, Friday

I went to college and attended the lectures up to break. I invited my friends for my birthday bash and specially Devika.. I left college after the break, after all I had to make arrangements for my birthday alias proposing day. I took some ideas from some romantic novels that I read.

I went to a jewellery shop and ordered a silver ring of my pinky fingers’ size. Then I went to a restaurant to book it for my birthday treat, arranged music system for it and some romantic music CD’s for it. I bought  a denim jacket as my birthday dress. The whole day passed organizing the  party and deciding methods to propose her. I was tired after my whole day work but I was practicing my lines to tell  her. I took some help from Raghav to prepare a speech for me. He wrote it on a paper and gave it to me.

But dozed off soon after I started practicing. All I was having  was a thought in my mind

1 Khamoshi Beqarar Kr Jati Hy,
1 Khamoshi Iqrar Ban Jati Hy,
Pyar Kro To Kbhi Khamosh Mat Rehna,
Q K Kbhi Sirf 1 Khamoshi Zindgi Bhar Ka Intezar Ban Jati hai

August 19, Saturday

It was like dooms-day for me. I was so excited about the day. My birthday was becoming so special for me. I got ready early in the morning and went to the market. Party time was at 2 pm but I had to make arrangements for it.

I went to florist  to buy red roses. Then I went to jeweler shop where I had ordered a silver ring. After that I and Raghav reached the restaurant at around 1 pm to see the arrangements. Friends started arriving at around 2 pm. I had arranged a separate table for her.

Friends started arriving at around 2 pm and greeting me. She still wasn’t there. Will she come????

Raghav: let’s cut the cake

Me: just wait for everybody to come….

Raghav: oh got it…. Sure yaar…

And she was there, as usual late from the given time. She was wearing a one  piece short gown of white color with blue leaflets on it and  was looking stunning again.

We started the party and every one started to greet me again and handing over gifts. She also gave me a gift wrapped in a red paper, I was so eager to see what had she given but she insisted me not to open it here so I had to wait till every one was gone to see what she had gifted me.

Devika:  happy birthday once again.

Me: thank you so much dear…… come this side.

I took her towards the table I arranged for her.

Devika: you were going to tell me something that day. Isn’t it????

Me:  oh yes…. Let’s have a drink first.

Devika: oh yes.

Waiter brought 2 glasses of drink and before she could pick the glass some one pushed the waiter and glass full of drink fell on her.

Devika: what the fuck…. Are you mad or what???? Don’t you know how to serve a glass…???? Disgusting these people…. Spoiled my dress….. Just get lost from my eyes… bloody idiots.

Me: Devika come with me

I gave Devika my denim jacket to cover her spoiled dress and took her to nearest apparel store.

Me: just choose any dress for yourself. And I don’t want to listen  a no from you. You are not looking good in this dress. And it’s my birthday and I will feel great if you choose one.

Devika: ok… as you wish.

She chose a dress and changed her old dress with it.

Devika:  how am I looking????

Me: amazing…. Great. Now give that old dress to me and keep this jacket with you, I will give it to you after dry cleaning it and no explanations on it I don’t want to have any discussion on it, its my birthday.

Devika: ok…

And she laughed

Devika: now I have to go, I am getting late.

She took bill from me and wrote something on its back side and handed it to me.

Devika: Byes take care and once again happy birthday and thank you for this.

Me: thank you and it’s always my pleasure.

She was gone and I was looking at the piece of paper where she wrote something. It was her cell no. and something written along with it

“Call me tomorrow”

She took an auto and was out of my sight in  a few seconds. And I again failed. I still couldn’t  tell  her. My ring and rose along with that piece of paper on which my speech was written were still with me in my jacket.

OH SHIT!!!

They were in my jacket and it wasn’t with me, it was with her. All I was thinking was what would happen if she found all those things in my jacket. I prayed to god the whole night that she didn't open those things, rather not find them at all.

I opened her gift and it was a fast track watch with something written along with it.

“Stay blessed, with love, Devika”

I had her no.  But I didn’t call her because she told me to call her next day so I was waiting for next day to come. I had a restless night and was able to sleep at around 3 in the morning.

Aaj Bechaini Si Hai Dil Mein Ekh Tadap Si Hai
Na Jaane Kyun Yeh Hulchul Si Hai

Ankhoin Ko Khwahish Si Hai Maan Mein Ekh Umeed Si Hai
Uski Yaad Aaj Phir Kyun Ayi Si Hai
Din Mein Bhi Khwab Dekhne Laghe Hain
Teri Isse Judai Mein Hum Kyun Pal Pal Marte Hain

Bhaghoon Mein Phir Phool Khile Hain Yeh Achal Phir Lehraya Hai
Be-Pehchan Si Yeh Fiza Leh Rayi Hai.

Mujhe Isse Khushi Se Ekh Daar Sa Hai
Tujhse Phir Juda Ho Jaane Ka Ghum Sa Hai

Kaheen Toot Na Jaye Mera Khwab Phir Se
Kaheen Bhikr Na Jaaye Dil Mera Phir Se

Kaheen Rooh Bhi Mujhe Pehchane Se Maana Na Kar Jaye
Kaheen Mera Wajood He Na Isse Sab Mein Se Khoo Jaye

Meri Mohabbat Ko Yunh Tokra Na Dena
Mujhe Yunh Phir Na Maar Dena!

August 20, Sunday

I woke up late, I was thinking about her only. I had her no. and was about to call her today but before calling I felt that it would be  better to text  her. I texted her!!

“Hey…. Saket this side…. Good morning & I’m really sorry for yesterday”

I took bath and got ready and checked my cell but still no message from her side. I went to laundry house to get her dress which I had given for dry cleaning last day. I came back home and started watching TV and at last got a message from her.

“Hey…. I’m so sorry... … I was running busy”

I texted her back

“It’s ok and I’m really  sorry for last day”

She replied

“Leave that stuff and temme what you wanted to tell me from past 3 days”

I was confused regarding  what to tell her now; shall I propose her here only, on mobile???? No… I texted her back

“I can't explain it here”

I got a reply on it

“Something serious????”

“Can we meet today???? I wanna talk to you…” I replied.

She replied,

 “Ok, I have some work in the market this evening. Will tell you the time and place to meet. And I got something from your jacket……. Lolzzz….:P”

“OH SHIT!!!, you explored everything????, I am really sorry and I will tell you about this in evening”, I replied.

She replied,

“ok then lets meet…. Till then bye tc cyaaa…..”

I reverted

“bye tc….. J”

After messaging her I slept at around 2 pm. I opened my eyes at around 5:50 pm and immediately rushed towards my cell that was on charging mode. It had 3 unread messages. One was of them was  her's according to which I had to be in sec-23 market at 6 pm sharp. OMG!!!, I had only 10 minutes. I took my bike and rushed towards the market. I was there by 6:10 pm and was late. She wasn’t there.

had she gone???

Will it be like the other days????

Should I propose her????

But it was possible only when she came.

What if she had left???

In a hurry I forgot to see my cell. I was going to text her back, when I saw that it already had an unread message. She messaged me that she will be late and will meet me at 6:30 pm at same place.

THANK GOD!!! I got a breath.

She was there at 6:30pm sharp. I took her to a  nearby coffee shop.

Devika: sorry… I’m late again.

Me: it’s ok, I don’t mind at all.

Devika: I have your belongings with me. But I forgot to bring your jacket; actually it wasn’t dry so I thought to give it to you next time.

She was smiling while giving them to me and I handed over  the dress to her.

Me: did you see them???

Devika: yes….  and I felt as if you are in love with some one. Am I right???

Me:  yes

Devika: ok. And by the way you wanted to tell me something. Tell me…

I was scared, my heart started beating fast and all I was praying to god was  to bless me. I gathered some confidence and started my prepared speech for that moment.

Me: I have written something for you I want to say it for you

And I started reading that precious piece of paper.

I love you because you bring the best out of me. I love whom, I have become since I have known you. Every time I look in your eyes, my heart misses a beat. I enjoy doing things with you and spending time with you. You are simply irresistible.

Sometimes I feel lost and out of touch, but when your there, I feel safe. Your voice soothes me. I could sit here and try to tell you just how I feel, only I can't find the words other than I am happy we met and have gotten together after all we've gone through.

You make me feel loved, you make me feel needed, but more importantly, you make me feel wanted. That is something that I hadn't felt in a very long time. I want to slowly grow into a beautiful relationship that only you and I can understand.

We have both gone through so much in our lives; we've both been hurt and have lost trust in others, but I ask you to give me a chance as I give you one. I don't ask for much, only for you to love me as I am and not to hurt me as I would not hurt you. I only wish to be by your side and with no one else.

From this moment on, we have each other and all the time to be in each other's arms. When I say I love you it is truly meant. 

Love always,

After reading I looked at her and she was staring me like I had done some crime proposing her.

Me: I really love you and this is not what I feet for you now but from the very first moment I saw you. And please don’t say no to me. My heart is very weak and won't be able to  handle rejection

And without wasting another second I went on my knees and offered that silver ring to her.

Me:  will you be my partner????

And when I looked at her, she smiled and that word from her mouth was  the world for me

Devika: yesssss…… I love you duffer….

I wish I could capture that moment but I was living the moment and in a moment that ring was in her finger. We hugged and wanted to kiss but place wasn’t suitable for it so we had to control our emotions.

Devika: I have to go now; my parents are waiting here in the market only, and its beautiful (pointing towards ring).

Me: wait wait…. Would you like to go for India Pakistan ODI tomorrow with me????

Devika: and what about college??? And if some one caught us???

Me: no one will tell anybody and nobody knows anything about us. Just chill and get ready for tomorrow. I will wait for you in morning.

Devika: ummmm….. Ok then cya bye take care… and love you

Me: bye take care cya and love you too.

She passed a flying kiss towards me and I acted as if  to catch that kiss. It brought a sweet smile on her face.

Then I called Raghav for  the match passes. He had some connections with cricket stadium members so I asked him for match passes. He arranged match passes and I was all set for my date.

She texted me telling about guests at home and that would not be able to talk that night and about meeting me in morning at the stadium.

I texted her back telling her to meet me near gate no. 3 at 9am. And we passed hugs and kisses to wish each other a very good night and sweet dreams.

August 21, Monday

Weather was romantic, sun was behind the clouds and rain was just about to come. I parked my car in parking area and rushed to gate no. 3. Devika was already standing there and I was late for the very first time.

Me: hiiii, I am really sorry sorry sorry… please forgive me.

Devika: don’t talk to me; I am not in a good mood.

Me: actually the thing is that I was dreaming of you and how could I break a dream of being with you. So that is why I woke up late. Please I am really sorry.

Devika: ok ok, and by the way what were you dreaming about???

Me: shall I explain it verbally or practically???

We both laughed on it.

Devika: shut up you naughty boy lets move in.

Me: sure, this way…

We entered the stadium and moved towards our seats. Stadium didn't have  any shed on common sitting area and parking lot and chances of rain were maximum. It was a perfect weather for romance. India won the toss and elected to bat first. Everybody was enjoying the match but I was enjoying her company. She looked  beautiful in white salwar and  pink kameez  with a  beautiful embroidery on it. During this time  I was holding her hands as if I never wanted her to leave me.

After 11 overs it started raining, and we ran towards our car because we didn’t have any other option. We jumped into the car, but the  rain had already made us wet and weather was getting cold. She still looked very beautiful. I was only  looking  at her. Rain was so hard that nothing was visible across the window panes.

Devika: what??? Why are looking at me like this???

Me:  can I live my dream with you???

She didn’t answer.

I pushed my car’s front seats downwards to make it a couch. I made her feel comfortable. She hesitated, but I extended my hand. She held it as I pulled her gently down. I kissed her, and she kissed me back with closed eyes. It wasn’t franatic or sexual. It was, if at all it is possible to kiss like that chaste or pure. However, we kissed for a long time. I paused and held her shoulders; she hugged me and buried her face in my chest. It made me feel protective.

The rain grew insistent, noisy, thumping the window rhythmically. We kissed and, naturally my hand went to her kameez.

Devika: don’t Saket

But raised her hands to make my job easier.

I removed my shirt. This time when we embraced, her warmth and softness melted into me.

Me: I care for you so much.

Devika: stop talking

I gently pushed  her shoulders to make her lie back on seat. I removed rest of my clothes. She looked away.

Me: what???

She shook her head, without making an eye contact with me. I slid next to her. She kissed passionately. I reached down to remove her salwar. She halted me for one last time.

Devika: I am not that kind of girl

Me: you are an amazing girl

My finger dipping into her navel. I paused to kiss her there. I placed her hand on my body. I went back to undoing her salwar. I found it impossible to take it off without her help.

Me: could you??? (After 5 minute struggle)

My request brought forth a giggle. She took it off and I waited and then drew her close to me.

I bit her and kissed her all the times that I was becoming one with her. What happened only magnified my love for her. I plundered her neck, planting as many kisses as the raindrops on the window. Our naked bodies felt toasty in the cold weather. We huddled and explored each other for another hour. The rain stopped, started again. I wanted to show her how much she meant to me.

This time she looked in the eye as she surrendered herself.

Me: thank you Devika

Devika: shut up you idiot. I am not a prostitute whom you’re saying thank you.

Me: I love you…

Devika: love you too…

Me: want some coffee or tea??

Devika: tea

Me: ok let’s move then

I drove my car to nearest tea stall and ordered 2 cups of tea. In the due time she started doing  her makeup.

Me: why do these women keep their make up kits along with them only????

Devika: please …. Don’t ask such stupid questions.

In the mean time tea arrived. Suddenly her phone rang,

“bheegi bheegi raaton mein, fir to aaoooo naaaa….

Aisi barsaton mein aaaoooo naaa……”

She picked the phone,

‘I’m coming in just 5 minutes. Wait there’

Devika: can you drop me to sec-23 market??

Me: sure… but are you going??? Who was on the phone???

Devika: yes, my cousin is going to USA and I am helping him shop. He called  me to accompany him.

Me: ok.

I dropped her to sec-23 market and drove off. I took a U-turn from next turn and waited there to keep an eye on her. Some one in a car came near her and she sat in the car and went ahead. I didn’t want to follow her because I had to trust her for making a stronger relationship. I went back home and after changing clothes I dozed off as I was tired after the incident.

I woke up at 6 in the evening and called her but she didn’t pick my call up. I didn’t call her again. After that I had some work and then dinner. I called her again at 10 in night. This time she was on the other side.

Devika: hey…. I’m really sorry for the evening. Actually I was busy in evening with my cousin.

Me: hmmm… it’s ok. And are you ok now?

Devika: yes, bit of cold and tired also.

Me: take some medicine and rest, we will talk tomorrow.

Devika: ok

Me: you coming to college tomorrow na???

Devika: yes, of course dear.

Me: ok then take rest and we will meet tomorrow.

Devika: ok then by take care good night sweet dreams, love you mmmuuuuaaaahhh…

Me: good night sweet dreams and take care. Love you too… mmmuuuaaaaahhhhh.

I couldn’t sleep for another hour. I was thinking only about her. Was she sleeping???

Should I call her???

NO- she will be disturbed if I call her

YES- if she is up, she’ll pick and if she’s slept, she’ll not.

At last I dialed her number. Instead of a ring I heard number busy message. I disconnected and dialed the no. for another two times but she didn’t pick and was busy over some other call. After that I waited for her call for another half an hour but I didn’t get any. I slept in the thoughts that I will ask her about it next morning.

August 22, Tuesday

I was sitting alone in the classroom. She was always late. Other students also started coming but she still wasn’t there. I texted her

Where are you???

Everything fine???

Are you coming??

I didn’t get any reply from her side. I called hr during break time but she still didn’t pick my call. I was not able to concentrate on lectures. All I was thinking was about Devika. College got over and I was still thinking about her, that if she had got into any sought of  problem???

Suddenly I received a message from her no.

Come near college gate

I rushed towards college gate immediately. She was standing there waiting for me. I had a smile on my face  seeing her but had lots of questions to ask her. Before she could say anything to me, I shooted my questions to her

Me: hey... Where have you been since last night??? You didn’t even pick my call. Whom were you talking to last night??? And you were supposed to come  to college. Where were you???? Why didn’t  you reply to my message???? You didn’t even pick my call. Why??? What happened???? Any problem???

After shooting so many questions I felt like I had injured someone but I still needed the answers to my questions. But she wasn’t going to answer any of  my questions.

Me: now what??? Please don’t give me this look. Answer my questions. I’m asking you some thing.

“Let me give you answers of your questions”, some one from my back answered me. I turned around and a boy of around 21 years with a strong built and heavy voice was standing in front of me. It appeared as if he was his brother about whom she was talking to me for the past 2 or 3 days.

Me: who are you to answer me???

Devika: he is Karthik, my boyfriend; I wasn’t with any cousin from last week. I was with him, I was talking to him last night and I was with him since last week.

She was explaining me the incidents about what I asked her and giving me explanations on why she did this to me.

Me: it means you didn’t love me???????

Devika: no, never, how could I love a person like you. You are not my kind.

Me: and what was that happened between us yesterday?????

Devika: what???? There was nothing between us.

Karthik: what are you both talking about??? What happened between the both of you ?

Me: what about it???? Tell him now.

Devika: nothing happened he is just a bloody liar.

Me: am I a liar??? We had sex. What about it??? We had sex and you are saying that you don’t love me. Please don’t say it Devika.

Devika:  but that doesn’t mean that I loved you. We had sex and that’s it. What’s the big issue in it. Be mature Saket.

Karthik: what are you saying???? You had fucking sex with this idiot Devika???

Before I could say anything,

BANG!!! On my right eye. He started beating me before I could recover from her first punch. I fell on ground and before I went out of senses I heard him telling me.

Karthik: stay away from Devika; otherwise I will hit you harder next time.

And I went unconscious.

When I came to senses, I was lying in some hospital and Raghav along with my mother were sitting on a bench in that room. They saw me getting into my senses and my mother started weeping again. Both gave me consolation and advised me to stay away from such girls.

But who can tell them that love didn't see anything. Love is blind, and I payed for it. I had so many questions in my mind but no one else could answer them. I wasn’t able to recognize the situation that whether I should cry for her not being with me, smile because I loved her so much, or laugh on myself that I loved a bitch who betrayed me.

Mere beete huye zindagi ki kuch itni si kahani thi,

Kuch hum khud barbaad huye the,

Kuch unki mehrbani thi

Epilogue

Me: hmmmm…… I warned you and you did the same. Now just chill and enjoy  life because you never know what is going to happen with you  the next day.

Saket: definitely bhai I will surely take care of your words. But please make mom understand my situation. She is getting on  her nerves. Please if you can.

Me: ok, I will but do take care now and will see you soon. I’m going to Delhi today.

Saket: ok then do take care of yours and call me once you reach there. Bye

Me: bye you too take care of yourself and aunt.

I met aunt and then left hospital. I was driving my car and was thinking of my new project that I was going to handle in Delhi. I was hitting the road and radio was playing its song and suddenly to my surprise  radio played the song which explained the whole incident that took place with Saket. .

meri laundry ka ek bill
ik aadhi padhi novel
ek ladki ka phone number
mere kaam ka ek paper
mere, taash se heart ka king
mera, ik chaandi ka ring
pichhle saat dinon mein maine khoya
kabhi khud pe hansa main,
aur
kabhi khud pe roya

present mili ek ghadi
pyaari thi mujhe badi
mary jaine ka ek pckt
meri denim ki jacket
do one-day match ke passes
mere naye naye sunglasses
pichhle saat dinon mein maine khoya
kabhi khud pe hansa main,
aur
kabhi khud pe roya

maine hosh bhi khoya dil bhi khoya
kabhi khud pe hansa main,
aur
kabhi khud pe roya
maine pichhle saat dino mein
ye sab hai, khoya..
