The Shy Extrovert

Chapter20

Whenever our best friend needs us, however busy may we be, we always tend to reach out to them, no matters we are angry or frustrated with them, once we love someone we cannot unlove them. We forgive them sooner or later. I forgave him. I was still upset but I loved him more than anything. Megha's words were howling my brain and I was thinking about ashu. Oh my god! So any thoughts at a time. I feel occupied. Drops of sweat roll down my forehead. My head would burst of pain. Temporal lobes hurt; I hear a screeching sound in my mind and fall on my bed.

After a sound sleep, I wake up and look at the alarm clock. It has struck ten. "I was wrong!" Ashu's words haunted me. I tried being unaffected but he was still affecting me. Miracles do happen. I was waiting for one. I know I was being irrational but I had to help him. He was in despair; I had to be with him. But this time I won't be helping him on front end but I will be back end. I called my personal secretary to look for rehabilitation centers. He was a chronic alcoholic his time and needed to heal.

I called Divyashree aunty.

AUNTY: Hello Vaishnavi! Heard you after such a long time. I know you were ill-treated and misunderstood by my son.

VAISHNAVI: I have talked to a rehabilitation center for Ashish. You can shift him there. He will be fine again.

AUNTY: Why do you do this? How can you be so selfless?

VAISHNAVI: I do this because I can do this. He is my childhood best friend. I can be angry with him but I cannot hate him because I love him.

AUNTY: Don't do this. He deserves this much punishment. I am his mother I cannot forgive him then how can you forgive him for cheating you? He betrayed you sweetheart. Don't be this good to him. He would not value your kindness.

VAISHNAVI: Let it be aunty. I cannot stop myself I know he was at fault but then I cannot unlove him. I still love him and I will always do.

AUNTY: May god bless you my child. Keep smiling and stay as much brave forever. I am glad my son has a friend like you.

VAISHNAVI: Take care of yourself, aunty. Talk to you later.

I disconnected. This was for the third time in past two days when I did not know how I should react. I chocked and felt I cannot breathe. I tried to distract myself from Ashish. I had to plan a grand party. I was thinking about theme for party. Let it be sober massacred party. Theme will be royal blue and peach color. Yes, this will be perfect.

How different we are from us when it comes to our loved ones. I know am at a point where I have to be strong and calm and at the same time I have to be patient and unaffected by Ashish. It is going to be difficult. I have to teach Megha a lesson. She deserves a strong answer for her baseless threats.
