Jab(when) we met (completed!)

15) A friend?

"To the girl whom I loveD...

Sash

I apologised to you a hundred times.

But you don't even care to reply.

You really think that I will run around you day and night, just for your forgiveness?

You are wrong, babe.

What do you think of yourself? Huh?

If you do the big honour of seeing this mail, please know that we.are.done...

Forever."

Tears of anger filled my eyes but I tried to fight them away. His words hurt me like the sharp edge of a knife against my throat. But I also felt a hint of guilt. Should I have forgiven him?

I typed a reply..

"I didn't ask you to run around me for my forgiveness!

That's not my problem.

We were already done. Long ago. When you accepted Shona.

Get lost, dog."

As my mouse hovered over the big red button saying "Send", my gut felt wrong. None of this felt right. I convinced myself that I was just being emotional, and I hit the button.

There. Done with him. I blocked him so that I didn't see his reply. I didn't wanna take the argument further. It would just spoil my mood.

I had told Arya about this whole Sohail thing. She thought that I was being a jerk to him. Of course, I was. After what he had done to me. He had to know that I wouldn't just stand and watch him play his moves. I was strong, and he must know that. He can't hurt me.

I tried to surpress my gut feelings, but to my dismay.

I had thought that maybe, some day, I would forgive him. After all everyone makes mistakes.

But things didn't really go as planned.

Now, I hate him even more. Thanks, Sohail. You did good.

Ghosh. What a night.

-----------------------------

School seemed pretty dull.

Especially with Karan behind my back all the time.

Actually, he made things more lively. At least for me.

We would rag some short guy of our class together. He had this huge glasses and half broken teeth which were not very appealing. He admired Karan, for some reason, and Karan would take advantage of him. This short guy, whom we called, Munni, had this big fascination for debating. So that's we would do. Debate with him, and he would make such a fool of himself, the poor kid.

"Hey, Sash!"

"Hey" I stuck my tongue out to Karan.

"What's up girl?" He smirked at me.

That idiot. His smirk suggested that he was upto something.

I trodded carefully around my seat to ensure that he was not playing tricks on me. Satisfied enough, with my scrutiny, I carefully sat down. Then, I saw the evil thing on Arya's hair! It was a cockroach! I was pretty sure it was not a fake one, it moved to the side of of her head.

I shot an angry look at Karan and then I rolled a bunch of papers together and lifted it into the air mumbling "Ar...."

She happened to hear me and turned around, and without thinking for the slightest, I whacked her face with the rolled bunch of papers.
