ONE WEEK LATER:
SHEHRY'S POV:
It had been a month since I last called Anjali or even saw her. Everytime I tried to call her, her phone would be out of coverage area. How was that possible though.
"Good morning" Hussain said knocking me out of thoughts. "Kya hua..aaj kal bhabhi ko nahin milne jaata"
My heartbeat raced and tears came up in my eyes.
"Kya hua..roh kyun raha hai" Hussain asked totally blunt about our breakup.
"Chali gayi..." I stammered. "Mere pyaar ka maazak bana ke chali gayi" and he stood up confused.
I explained everything to him and he raged.
"Par aise kaise-" Hussain tried to talk.
"Kuch nahin yaar chod...aur yeh taani bhi...kabse tang kar rahi hai" I sighed and got out of bed to brush my teeth.
I came out of the shower saw my phone buzzing constantly. I rushed over thinking that Anjali had called for me and without reading the name picked up.
"Hello?" I asked hoping to hear her angelic voice.
"Shehryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" Taani screamed annoying me. I rolled my eyes waiting for ehr to say what she wanted.
"Acha Shehry..I have to really talk to you today..its important" she said and I rolled my eyes even more.
"Taani mere paas time nahin hai" I tried telling her but she revealed even more of why she wanted to meet.
"Tumare pyaar ke baare mein hai" she said and I was shocked. Kahin yeh Anjali ke baare mein toh kuch nahin jaanti?
I grabbed any shirt and rushed to meet Taani.
A few moments later, I was sitting at the coffee shop waiting for Taani to arrive. Kaha re gayi I thought. And just then Taani entered through the door. She waved at me and sat across from me.
"Haan toh kya bol rahi thi tum?" I asked excited to hear what she had to say.
"Tumare pyaar ke baare mein baat karni thi" She said making me more eager to learn about Anjali.
I looked at her waiting for her to continue.
"Actually Anjali--matlab Anjali se..umm" she stammered.
"Haan haan kya Anjali kya?" I asked excited.
"Woh actually mene Anjali se baat ki thi" she said and I waited for her to say more.
"Kab..kab baat ki thi" I asked.
"Woh toh pata nahin..matlab hoga kuch ek mahine phele" she said.
"Kya keh rahi thi" I asked urging to hear.
"Itna excited kyun ho rahe ho?" she asked not knowing my love for Anjali. "Bata toh rahin hun" she said and I nodded.
"Anjali se...matlab ek din mene usse coffee pe bulaya tha..aur mein usse se confession kar rahin thi..ke mein..umm ke mein shahid...umm" she said and started blushing leaving me confused.
"Umm I love you shehry...aur mein chahthi hun ke hum saath ho jaye..matlab relationship" she blurted and my stomach churned.
"Yeh kya bakwas kar rahin ho" I said and pushed the table in from of me away and exited the door creating a scene.
I rushed to my car and before I got in Taani pulled my arm forcing me to face her.
"Taani aise maazak mujhe bilkul bhi pasand nahin hai" I said and she rolled her eyes.
"Mein maazak nahin kar rahi Shehry...tum tum itna gussa kyun ho rahe ho" she asked.
"Anjali ke baare mein kya ke rahin thi??" I asked her.
"Woh hi toh bata rahin thi! Anjali ko mene apne feelings bataye the..aur us ke saath apni problem bhi share kari thi..yeh problem ke tum shahid ek relation mein the" she blurted and all the puzzle pieces started to be put together. I let Taani continue.
"Aur ek din baad, Anjali ne mujhe bataya ke tum phirse single ho gaye ho..aur is liye mene ek mahina wait kia..so you could recover from your breakup or whatever..par tum toh aise act kar rahe ho jese mene pata nahin kya keh diya...
My heart hurt so much realizing why Anjali broke up with me...all her words started to make sense now.
I ignored Taani standing there and rushed into my car and drove away home. How could she do this? Uska itna baara dil...Taani ke liye apne pyaar ko sacrifice kar gayi.
I stood at a red light just wanting to be home when mom called.
"Ji Mama?" I asked trying hard not to sound sad.
"Shehry beta...aate waqt supermarket se kuch cheeze le aani hai" she said and I agreed. I turned left heading to the supermarket.
Just as I entered, I couldn't believe my eyes. Anjali's whole family was there shopping. I rushed toward them searching for only one girl but she was nowhere to be found.
Right then I spotted Anu. I rushed over to Anu but this shopping cart was blocking the way. "Anu" I said but she didnt hear me.
I turned around and went from another aisle to find her. But I lost her. I rushed here and there. She wasnt in any aisle. I rushed to the last one which was barely crowded and luckily there she was.
I walked up to her. "Anu?" I asked her and she turned around shocked yet smiling.
"jiju--I mean...aap?" she said and it hurt me that she couldnt call me Jiju no more. I smiled tho hiding my pain.
"Kesi ho?" I said placing my hand on her shoulder.
"Im fine! Aur aap?" she asked and thats when I couldnt hold in my tears.
"I know" she said knowing my pain.
"Anjali?" I managed to say asking where she was.
"Woh Di-" she stared to say but right then Uncle and Aunty saw us.
"Shehry beta" Uncle said and hugged me as I hid my tears. I greeted Aunty too.
"Kya beta..ek mahine se naa phone naa message...tumare mami papa bhi nahin karte. unko toh me dekh lungi" she joked and I laughed it off.
I was just about to ask about Anjali but I realized that they would get suspicious.
"Ok Aunty mein chalta hun...Mami bula rahin hai sabzi ke saath" I said and I left.
