My Dictator!

chapter 3

             Catherine's POV

'I told you not to leave me didn't I?But you did.'I told him with tears in my eyes,to which  He smiled 'I'm sorry Love,...' 
I could'nt get a clear aspect of his appearance.Very blurred.'I'm here now,and this time ,..Its Forever.Your heart is protected and safe just with me today,tomarrow and for the rest of your life.I love you'
He cupped my cheeks and slowly lifted my face until my teary eyes met his and he pouted at me  riantly.I could see so many emotions running in his deep eyes-happiness,deep love,a feeling of regret,joy..
He softly kissed both my eyes one after the another and softly murmured to my face 'I am here to wipe away all your pain and your tears,and by that I mean I'll be by your side and protect you no matter what.Always.Now don't you shed a tear.Okay?'
'Hmm...'I smiled.As he slowly came closer,his appearance got clearer and by the time my lips was just an inch away from his,there before me was Mr.Goodish,cupping my face with his warm hands,which swept over me like current being passed over me so hard.
'Get up,let's go for a walk around the park.' Barbara woke me up and I wanted to murder her right at that moment.'YOU B****! GET OUT RIGHT AWAY!....NOW 'she stood there shocked 'I said NOW' I shouted at her with all my might and anger.I couldn't contain my anger.She spoilt it all -my dream,my kiss,my promising prince,my day.Everything.
I was restless,marveled and annoyed at the same time.I could hear  the different Emotions inside me,questioning  me one after the another.I was confused.
Days passed and I slowly started to forget my dream and him-the reunion parties,the shoppings,late night parties, drinks and his vague appearance in my dream made me to.
Probably the main reasons why I couldn't identify him in the exam hall
      Present
The big doubt was finally cleared,I felt so relieved  and eased as if a heavy weight of 100 pounds have been lifted off my shoulders.
'I miss him' I Murmured not knowing what exactly made me say that.
I had to get a shower,and go down for the pancakes mom had been preparing.
It was a fresh and a relaxing shower.My Wardrobe was becoming as old as a wrinkled old woman in her hundreds.And it had the most worn-out clothes too,which simply meant that it has been long since I last wrote down my long shopping list.
The maroon maxi-dress hanging at the top appealed me.
'Mom,I'm done,are you?'
'Almost, princess. Come,sit here.Barbara is not here yet'
'Hmm' I sat,and scrolled down the uptades of my Instagram account.'oh,I could have at least asked his name 'I murmured' why didn't I?'Mom served the pancakes hot.Mom's made  probably tasted the best.I would say even better than the dishes in 5star hotels.I didn't wait for Barbara to come down and eat along with me.I ate it heartedly,to my heart and stomach's content,also licking the strawberry jam in my hands to satisfaction. 'Mom,wow!It tasted even better today.Thank you'
'I'm glad you liked it.' She smiled 'You want more?' 'I'm full.Leave some for Barbara too.She'll come down,gobble it like a pig,and ask for more.So let her be satisfied.'
'No,Don't say that.That sounds rude.Catherine,she's just like your sister.Learn to love her' 'Actually, she's not worthy of being loved.She crosses the bar and starts acting superior if shown love.So, one better not show her any love' 'Again!She'll be really hurt if she hears all of this.Now stop,and go up to your room.Take some rest dear,you've been working so hard' 'Okay.Bye' 'Bye'
I ran up the stairs and then to my room.Mom is true.I really did work hard for this exam,as I had to make it through by any means.
I just hoped the results would be out soon so that I could make a long,actually very long shopping list for myself.

His face appeared in my mind again.He is someone really special.Thinking about him made my self-esteem drop down to negative 100.But the truth is,he was just a passer by.

For two days and nights,I spend my time reading a book published by my nerdy neighbour titled-Let's learn to Love books .He is an excellent writer with a detailed understanding of almost every educational terms,and implies his knowledge effectively in his books.
He had a crush on me since grade 2 and I hated him to the extend of giving up my life,if I had been given an option to live and love him or to give up my life.But I knew how to tackle with it.I chosed to be atleast his friend and make use of his immense knowledge,and get him to help me during exams.Mom had me tutored for the NBs exams by him and he explained every term in an articulate way that I could understand it very well.He gifted me the book and I never even thought of reading the first page of it but I've finished reading it,probably because I was trying my best to get that guy out of my mind but he wasn't ready to get out.
The last time,I forgot him so fast,because of the parties and people and other meetings.But it was really hard now.

Got it!Long time no party.
     Dara,be ready by 6:00 p.m.,we are going out to the bar.
I texted my friend,and then took a refreshing shower.The black off-shouldered dress fitted me perfectly,showing off my perfect curves.My five inched stilettoes added more to the beauty and the Lady in front of the mirror portrayed perfection.I loved ME.

'Mom?where is the driver?' ''Where are you going dear?' 'To a  party.With Dara' ' Catherine, You are a grown up now,a Lady.And parties and all are done with,you should concentrate more on the business of the family'
'EXACTLY!Mom,I am a grown up now.And I've learnt to life life independently. And I hate it whenever you do this to me.Please for God's sake,I'm 22.'
'Okay,but remember Your Dad will be really mad at this' 'okay, okay,now will you please call the driver for me?'
The driver took me to Dara's home.She was excitedly waiting for me,with her boyfriend.Another trouble.Why is he coming too?I really hated to be around lovebirds and they were another dramatic lovers.
'Hi,Catherine,Talon's coming too'
'Okay.Come in'.
We reached fast.And,as expected I was left alone.They had their own moments to make and I was a stone,a big stone in front of Dara.
I went to the counter and sat there, enjoying the beat of the loud music. I called the bartender 'Excuse me,five shots of Vodka please' 'Here,Mam' 'Thank you'
'Mr.Goodish,this will make me forget you'I murmured,smirking.I drank it.'Another five please'.I drank it all continuously. And I was now in a different world.
I wanted to go home so bad,I called the driver again and again but it was switched off.I didn't even even care where Dara and his boyfriend was,and so,I have to walk home alone now.
