Confused 💞

11.

“Kabhi Kabhi Kuch Baatein Humare Yaadon ke Kamre ki Itni Khidkiyaan Khol Deti Hain ki Hum Dang Reh Jaate hai.”

Teja heard this as soon as she entered Karan's room, her face brightened up , it was YJHD playing on the tv, her favourite film.

Karan knew that Naina and Bunny are the only people who can bring a smile on Teja's face even at the worst moment, and it did, YJHD never fails.
They both sat in silence for the next two hours with Teja continuously smiling and Karan glancing at her from time to time.

Teja started meeting Karan on every Sunday, but soon the motive of her going to his home changed. It was no longer to meet her friend but rather his parents. Karan's mom and dad bonded with Teja as if they knew her from years. It used to be Teja and Karan's dad playing chess, discussing politics and their most favourite, roasting Karan.

Karan's mom was already very fond of Teja, their conversations seemed to have no end.

At a corner used to sit Karan, sulking, seeing his parents being hijacked by his friend. Though the sulking was only superficial, deep down he used to love seeing Teja with his parents, having fun. This felt right, so right, that he wanted this for life.
' Karan, control your thoughts brother, they are going in some weird directions ' his consious warned.

"Yash is back from US "Ananya said

"What? When? Where is he right now" Teja bombarded Ananya with her questions.

"He came back three days before and is here, I mean in Mumbai"

"And what stopped you from telling me this earlier."

"I didn't know if he wanted you to know about his arrival or not so..."

"Then why did you tell me now"

"Let me atleast complete yaar Teju...so I was saying that I met him yesterday and he asked about you ."

"And then"

"Nothing I filled him with your information. That's it"

After a pause , Teja said "How is he? "

"He is fine, almost the same , but a bit mature than before ."

Ananya and Teja chuckled.

"He has the same phone number or is it changed. I hope he will be fine with me calling him."

"Don't worry he will call you himself, he told me yesterday."

"Is he still single" Teja asked with a tight liped smile

"Yes, but definitely not waiting for you"

Teja laughed sadly and said "I hurted him a lot na."

Yash was one of the closest friend Teja had in her college days. After Ananya he was her go to person.

Yash liked Teja, from the second year itself. He knew that Teja was not interested in relationships, so he never praposed her, but it was well known by everyone , even Teja, that he liked her , a lot. Things were going good until Yash decided to propose her on the farewell day.

: flashback :

"You know it quite well, how I feel about you. But as it is the last day I wanted to say it to you that I really do like you and..."

Teja interupted and said "why are we doing this Yash, you know me pretty well to know my answer."

"A no, is it "

"Ofcourse, you know that I don't want relationship"

"Give me one valid reason for your rejection Teja, that's it. I will stop."

"I am not interested in being in a relationship, you know that."

"Okay fine then give me six months, I will talk to your mom about us, we will get married."

Teja laughed and said "are you serious, is this a prank."

His face fell "how can you laugh Teja, how can you be so insensitive towards it."

"So what should I do, you are behaving as a kid, you think that me not being interested in a relationship is the only reason, the main reason is me not feeling romantically for you. I don't feel for you as you do for me. I can't understand why are you even doing this and making things awkward between us, ruining our friendship."

"Yes ruining a friendship in which one person always felt more, wanted more."

"Actually I guess you are right, we were never friends , because if we were you wouldn't do all this." Teja said slightly raising her voice.

Yash chuckled and said "  okay then, good bye Teja, take care"

: flashback ends :

Yash and Teja did not talk to each other there after. Teja wanted to talk to him and apologies him for being so rude but Yash never gave her a chance. He blocked her from everywhere and asked his friends to not talk about her , and as soon as he got his degree he left India for futher studies.
Teja missed her friend, she  regretted talking to him that way , but Yash wanted space and she respected that .

It was Sunday again and Teja was at Karan's house , when her phone pinged

"Hey bitch what's up"

It was from an unknown number but Teja right away knew who it was.

"A beautiful celling" Teja replied , laughing at her own message.

"How can someone be so lame."

"How are you Yash (heart emoji)"

"Not bad , what about you"

"Good. I hope that you are staying here for a few months , so that I can meet you."

"Kyu bhai mujhe vapis kyu bhejna hai tujhe, mein kahi nhi ja raha ab."

"( Dancing emojis)" Teja replied

"Btw where are you, i know in banglore, but it's an off day right"

"Yes it's an off day and I'm at his house" Teja wrote and sent it along with Karan's pic.

"Are you kidding me Teja, what are you doing there"

"I came here to meet him . Can you believe that he is my friend now. You always used to say na that I won't even meet him once in my life and see now ( smirking emoji) "

"Teja this is not funny. How much do you even know him to be at his house at 8 pm."

"I know him from the past four months, and he is a great guy ."
She replied, threw the phone in fustration and went to have some water.

"Teja leave from there. You are in a new city all by your own. You can't trust people like that, even if they are some known celebrity, keep your bias aside and think sensibly."

"Teja are you listening."

Teja came saw this messages and replied
"fine I'm leaving because I can't shout at you here . I will reach home and then give it back to you for all the rubbish you have written."
