A Manjeri Love Story

Epi - 18

Ayshu’s POV

Anshu’s confrontation made my mind messier and all I could think about now is about him, I felt angry myself for hurting his feelings, but I think it is better to run away from him now than later.

Suddenly my phone rang and when I checked it was none other than Anugraha herself, great, I couldn’t be more grateful to god for filling my life with all these dramas. I sighed deeply and picked up the call.

“Hello”

“Hello Madam, how are you? I hope you are doing so good dreaming about Anshu, the prince whom you are not going to get”, I could sense her scorn through the phone, but I’m not in the mood to argue with her.

“What do you want?”

“Oh, I’m sorry, seems like I disturb your serene mood, Ok, without any delay I would tell you why I called you, I want to meet you, that’s too tomorrow and before you would say any excuses to avoid this meeting, I want you to know I’m not ready to take No as an answer and if you are not going to come, I think maybe I would reveal your past to Anshu”, the mere mention of that made my heart stop.

“I would come”

“Good”

When I reached the bakery, she was waiting for me, she waved at me and I went sat on the chair opposite to her.

“What would you have? I heard that their shawarma is finger licking good, I think we should order that”, her carefree attitude made me angry.

“I don’t have time for your treat, just tell me what you want and we could finish it for one and all”

“Look like Madam doesn’t have any time for me, Ok, let’s come to the point. When we first met Anshu, I was attracted to him because he is so good looking and when I came to know he is one of the billionaires in Kozhikode, that attraction turns into need, so I need him”, she completed the statement just like she closes a deal. I don’t understand what she is trying to say

“Ok, even if you want him just go and tell him, I can’t understand what I have to do with it. It is none of my business and I’m sorry but I don’t run any matrimony or am I not interested to become the cupid in your love story”, I sarcastically said.

“Oh stop your acting, I know exactly what you are trying to do and I’m not a fool, I know that he is interested in you but you need to make sure that those feelings would never be a two-way emotion, all I’m saying that you should avoid him and make him mine, otherwise I would tell him all about your past”, that was more than to suffocate, I was tolerating this bitch for quite a long time and now she is trying to take advantage of me.

“What would you say?”, I dared her looking straightly into her eyes

“Come on Aysha, you are thinking that he would still love you after he comes to know what you have done to your best friend and how your marriage turns into a complete tragedy after the groom rejected you publically when it came to know that you do not trustworthy”, that’s it. She crossed the limit completely.

“Who do you think you are huh? You don’t know anything about me and my past, all you know is some stupid lies or gossip that you overheard from some marriage-crashing aunties and here you claim accusations against my personality, you want to know the truth, then listen I would tell you everything. I lost my bestie because she never loved me, all she did was took advantage of me and my marriage was broken because my ex-bestie send something personal to his family’s WhatsApp group from my phone and accused me to do so. All I ever did was trusted her and she betrayed me and made my life a hell. I don’t care whom you would tell all these, I had enough of suffering in my entire life and I’m not ready to do so after all I did nothing”’ I completed the sentence and everyone was looking at me, that time I realized that my voice was so loud to attain all these attention, embarrassment clouded me and I uttered a Sorry to all.

“Oh poor Aysha, even if you did nothing wrong, who would be going to believe you? Even Anshu would think that this is your other wicked idea to get out of what you did. I don’t think he is not even willing to see your face after he knows about all these things, so I would suggest you do what I said and make your own story not snatching what belong to other, I knew that you are a bitch but I never thought you have this history of a whore, anyway, I’m so pleased to tell you that after all your miserable attempt to get his attention, he decided that I’m the one who is perfect for him”

“What do you mean?”

“He messaged me saying that he wants to talk with me and starts everything fresh. I hope he realizes his mistake of choosing trash over the diamond, now he would be mine and that’s too forever”

That declaration made me more confused, if he is interested in her, then what was all that confrontation and why did he tell me that he has feelings for me? once again life played its wicked trick on me and I lost all hope.

“Anyway I don’t have time to chit-chat with you, I want to go and get ready for our first date, bye”, she gathered her bag and walked off.

I was numb to react, all the confrontation and Anshu’s this sudden behavior made me confused, I sat there without uttering a word, and a single drop of tears fall from my eyes.
