TRUE LOVE (PART 2)

part 2

"jasmin!" pankaj called as I walked away.
I turned to see what he wanted.
"Babe, whať's wrong? Where are you going? Come back" he asked, with narrow eyes.

Then he looked at Aly and so did I and Aly give him distress;
An angry look and pankaj continued. It confused me.
"I mean where are you going?" his voice cracked.

Is pankaj scared of Aly? was that possible?I noticed Aly's fist was clenched tightly like he wanted to punch someone; or just Pankaj. Why does he care? I was super
annoyed now.

"It's disha's engagement. I'm going to see that" I said sharply, looking at Aly directly.
"Wait, we are also coming" Nidhi said and followed me.

I kept glaring at Aly; his fist was loosening now, and he looked down as if hiding his smile. Does he think I am funny? I will show him what's funny.

I walked towards the stage without turning. As we reached everyone was clapping. and we joined them. Disha and rahul were exchanging rings. Everyone was showering rose petals at them. They were smiling and so were we and everyone else. They were happy, and we were happy to see them happy.

I look at girls and they look back at me and we exchange a smile, Aly looked at me with those big eyes and winked,
I shook my head and smiled. I turned my attention back at disha again.
He is gone crazy; I thought.

Suddenly,
bharti pulled me to the corner.
"majnu was totally jealous," she whispered in my ear; Excited.
"Really?" I asked in disbelieve.
I noticed he was pretending but jealous?I was not sure he had that emotion in him.

What?" nidhi asked as she was standing
right next to us and saw Bharti's childish grin.
Bharti repeated in her ears and Nidhi replied.
"Defiantly, you didn't see his face?" nidhi asked grinning too.

I don't know why you all are paying so much attention at him?" I asked with a smirk. It was clear that they were enjoying this drama.
Bhart answered.

"Firstly, sorry to say this, but he is hot; way too hot" she said seriously, I rolled my eyes, she continued.
"Secondly, I never saw majnu and laila in real life, and you are the closest things to them with way more drama.
So, we are interested in you both, but one request.
She asked raising her one finger up.
What?" I asked curiously.

"Please don't do anything stupid, she drawled.
I burst out laughing
What was she thinking? We are laila & majnu? Seriously?

I mean that's the world's greatest love story, and she was comparing it to us? I mean there is no love between us, at least not now, I know I still loved him, but nothing from him; I was sure.

Also, majnu never left laila.
Suddenly, I was distracted by it remembering the tragic love story.
bharti didn't join me laughing she looked at nidhi and asked her.
"Am I funny?" she asked in her stern heavy voice.

Oh, you are serious?" I confirmed in shocked; at once I stop smiling
"Yes, I'm, do not do anything stupid. If it's hard or anything wrong, talk to us, we will kill him instead, don't do anything foolish."
She ordered.

Stunned and speechless I look at her serious face, she meant everything she just said.
"Thank you and I love you" I hugged them both.

I felt blessed to have friends like them; they cared for me and I cared for them. We were not always close, but after college, we grew closer than ever. Some parts of my life, Ive been lonely and being with them helped me.

It wasn't always easy to keep pretending, but when I was with them, I don't have to pretend at least not lately, because I was happy for real. We supported each other, if one of us was crazy for something then the rest of us made sure we got crazy too. It was always fun and inspiring to stay friends forever. I loved them and they loved me back.
