Love Me...Once Again

Chapter 15

''Where are we going?'' Lakashay's fake date asked; a little worried by his mood and the speed of his vehicle. 

''You seemed all over me a min back and now you look scared !'' He taunted

The girl blinked, he looked dangerous. ''Look Man, I am a normal girl who got all star eyed meeting you for the first time. But if you are mad about any girl approaching , you should make your sexuality clear.''

Lakshay applied quick breaks. ''What?''

''Yes! I agree I was little carried away, plus the offer of your crooked friends . They offered free concert tickets to me and my friends. Who would refused that? But now I know, all celebrities are two faced.'' She huffed dramatically, pulled out an envelope , pushing it into the hands of Lakshay. ''Give this back to your friends, and I promise to ruin your reputation online.''

Lakshay was mad and this girl was adding to his annoyance. ''Just go and try writing one bad word about me or my band. I will make sure you settle in a court. Trust me, you cannot touch a hair on my head. Now, get out.''

''what? How will I go?'' 

''You have a smart phone, call a cab and scoot. Moreover, we are in a city and no one would want to date a mad girl like you.'' Lakshay knew he sounded mean to his own ears, but he was pissed.  All those years away from Nirali, he had imagined her moving with someone but watching her smile with a random guy on a date made his soul burn. he wanted to shake  her mad ,tell her that she belonged to him and that he had loved her for years and it was just who deserved him. Lakshay punched the steering wheel hard, not once but multiple times. He knew Nirali ran deep in to his blood, but now she was messing with his sanity.

''Nirali, lets go back.''  Amisha tried to reason but Nirali looked determined. ''No, today he crossed all his limits. Until I break his head, crush his ego, I won't stop.''

''Nirali, you were as well on a date. Who knows that pissed him off.'' Amisha reasoned. Nirali applied quick breaks, a bit thoughtful. ''If that was the case, he should have walked to me and claimed his right. He should have kissed me and told me that he loved me and there will be no one other than me.''

Amisha rolled her eyes. ''Yes, and you would have accepted that? Wake up Nirali, you have been pushing the guy away all your life and you want him to chase you, that's drama. This...is life.''

''Now you are his friend.'' Nirali asked , her eyes burning with rage.

Amisha faced palmed. ''I am your friend but bringing your faults  to your notice is my job. Above all, you have been driving in all direction and we are out of fuel.''

Nirali shut her eyes tight. ''Get another bike. I hate this one.'' Amisha wanted to laugh, the girl as definitely mad in love. Nirali finally agreed to ride back home an Amisha took a breather.

Lakshay came back but in a foul mood, he turned his room upside down , breaking stuff in his anger. His friends sat in the next room worried about his anger. Lakshay wasn't the one to lose his cool, but today his buttons got pushed beyond his limits.

''Should we talk to him?'' Naman asked Arun. The latter shook his head, ''No, let Varun come and let's understand what is Nirali's state.'' Naman winced when when another crashing sound reached his ear.

''Did we do the right thing?'' Arun just answered with a confused look.

***

''How is Nirali?'' Varun asked

''Mad! Beyond repair. I pointed out her fault and now she is taking out on me.'' Amisha answered stirring her coffee. Her phone buzzed and she scolded the random operator for calling repeatedly.
