By Your Side

I am still haunted by the memories

Samairaa purifies the space, including a few glasses. Who cares if she poked her hand and blood spilled? After cleaning, Samairaa notices her filthy, bloody hands. She gives them a disgusted look and wipes them on her T-shirt.

Samairaa gets into bed, picks up her phone, and immediately dials Rahul after seeing several texts and calls from Neha and Rahul.
Rahul picks in one ring, appearing to be waiting for Samairaa to call.

Rahul- Phone kyu nai utha rahi thi mera?

SV- Teri tarah phone haath mai leke nai ghumti hun. Kya hua, itna kyu call Kiya hai?

R- Aapke pass TV hai.

SV- Haan, tha, maine tod diya aaj.

Rahul is silent for a short while as he considers his friend's outrage.

R- Woi mila tha?

SV- Ahh... Nai, Mirror bhi toda, TV bhi toda, aur ek vase tha, aur bhai, AC ka Remote bhi galti se haath se gir gaya. Order kar diyo. Mere drawings account se nikal Lena.

R- Kaaash mai tere ko ek gali de paata, par mujhey pta hai, tu mujhe hi maaregi. Aur waise bhi jo haal tune unn ladkiyon ka kiya hai, tere se panga kon lena chahega.

SV(excited)- Hainaaa? Ab bhale hi gym mai biceps nai ban rahe, strength toh jarur aa rahi hai. Mere paise toh waste nai hua.
Chal ab bta, kaise call kiya.

R- Yahi puchne ke liye koi plan bana rahi hai, yaa khud nikalna hai iss jhamele se?

SV- Nai iss baar hai koi jo mere liye lad rahi hai, dekhte hai kya hota hai.

R- Are you for real? Nai, I mean you don't trust someone when it comes to you.

SV- I know, but iss baar mujhe Dil se bharosa hai, woh insaan will never let me down. I don't know, dil se feeling aa rahi hai.

R- Anaya? Tu hi hai naa? Cross connection toh nai ho gaya?

SV- Nai mera bhoot hai. Aur... Bhai, iska jawab toh mere paas bhi nai hai.

R- Kya?

SV- Kuch nai yaaar, mera dimaag kharab ho chuka hai, tu call cut kar agar haal chal puchne ke liye kiya hai.

R- Achaa boss, mai rakhta hun.

SV- Ek min, woh Neha kyu call Kari thi?

R- Don't know, mujhey toh bataya nai usne, haan, waise ab jab suspension mila hai toh thoda idhar focus kar le.

SV- 50% ka partner maine aise hi bana Diya naa tujhe?

R- Achaaa Achaaa, I will handle her.

SV- Nai chodh, thoda time de, kal office aati hun.

R- Sure Bye.

SV- Bye.

R- One last thing....

SV- Kya?

R- Woh bully ki wajah se tujhe sab yaad aa gaya naa, tabhi tune unn sab ko itna maara?

SV- Bye.

R- Arrey....
Samairaa blocks Rahul before he can finish speaking, throws her phone on the bed, then sits motionless and remembers something as she idly looks out the window. She quickly wiped away a tear that had just come to her eyes and then collected herself to stop thinking about it.

"Huh! Kya hi farak padhna hai kisi ko. Aur waise bhi maine koi apne personal trauma ki wajah se nai maara hai unko, woh deserve karte the. Mere samne koi injustice karke toh dikhaye, woi haath  unke body ke samne nai rakh diya toh mai Samairaa Vashisht nai. Bloody Morons"
