We both came to Kartik's house, Kartik was the one who was rich and always liked to have parties at his house, today was the day he and his girl Saye fell in love with each other and then there was no going back for them, they have been dating for 3 years, I some of the time feel a lot alone when I see couples and I don't have a girl yet. He invites the whole office, no matter if he knows them or not, he will invite every single of them, he had a big bungalow, he was a rich kid, he just wanted to work out with simple people so that the richness does not make him a rude person and he learns to respect every single person.
Everyone was wearing really good party dress, from skirts to jeans, from suit to normal shirts but yet stylish. I wore a black shirt and a brown pant, I did not know if this matched but this was the best, Tania told me this looked good at me, She even made my shirt look more good by rolling my sleeves up. We both entered the party together. There were some drop down, beautiful girls standing, my confidence fell down already.
'Tania coming up with her boyfriend,' one of the girl said, she was holding a bottle filled with beer in it.
'He is just my bff, nothing more,' she said and looked at me, I was not even able to look up right now.
'So girls, it means "Boyfriend forever"' another girl said and all of them started laughing.
Keep speaking, it is feeling good. I was thinking, also from my expression I was saying 'No, stop it'
'By the way, he is Anirudh, better known as Ani, he also works in our office,'
'Yeah, he is cute,' a girl said. No one has ever said me cute.
'Ani. go and enjoy now, I will enjoy with the girls,' she said and joined the girls group.
I looked all around, being alone in home is like my everything, when I was small kid I used to roam around with my school friends, after school days got over, even their friendship for me got over. They never tried to talk to me, they never tried to meet me, any day I asked them, they ignored me in a best way possible and this all made me think "Why do all people hate me?" and that thing got stuck in my mind, that was the thing will made me anti social, by my experience I thought all the people I will go to talk with will hate me, so I never tried, I tried to post some stories on Insta and all just so some people will reply on them and I would get to talk. But it never happened, that was the time I got to know that internet is the worst place to show off emotion, people need attention, that's all they think. I got the feelings inside me and would never like to share it with anyone, as of no one cares.
The stairs, the design, the suit everyone was wearing it felt so cool, I felt really awkward between them, I stood near some boys, they were talking, the disco lights was there, the music playing was English. In all of that, Kartik came in front of us, the music stopped, he picked up the mic and said "As today is the day, I got to know this beautiful girl will become my wife, I hope you all are enjoying the day, we will now have a couple dance, as if I really need to dance with this girl, Saye come over," Saye was wearing a black color dress, she looked damn beautiful in that, she hugged him, and the music of love started playing, the first song was 'perfect' I saw people asking each other to do a dance with them, I saw a girl wearing a maroon color dress, she was standing alone near the bar, I thought I should ask her out for dance, but I had Tania, why I should go and look for someone else, I searched for her, I saw her, I started to walk and that was the time Soham came into the way for her, he asked her to dance with him and she accepted it with a big smile on her face, might be both deserved each other, I saw that girl again, I went near her.
'Wanna dance with me?' I asked and took a deep breath, I was nervous, but I had to come out of my zone. God knows, if I get a good friend after Tania.
'Look for someone else, please,' she said, in a rude way.
'That's mean but okay,'
'How the heck are you to say I am mean? Get off man,' she said in a angry voice, some of the people nearby looked at me, I ran out of the house, and that was the time I again saw Tania dancing with him, I left them alone and went out in the dark, I tried to make a new friend, okay leave it. I sat at the stairs of the building entrance; one of my worst decisions was coming over here. I took my phone out from my pocket and saw the messages, no, nothing as always. But the people inside house, a notification sound came from many of the mobiles at the same time, everyone felt to see it. I heard some of say out loud 'Our boss caught my police?'
'Ankit with police? What is going on?'
