Chapter-10

“Dude relax everything will be fine! Don’t be worried Yashie!”

“No Mara…. You don’t know how it feels! Fiona…. she told…. she loved me…. but now she is engaged”

“She came today na?”

“I didn’t see her…. She was not in her classroom”

“College will get over soon… I will speak with her okay?”

I somehow manged to console my hurt friend.Why are some girls like this? If she had said that she didn’t love him the very first day, he wouldn’t have got hurt this much!

After three hours of continuous boring lectures, college got over at last. I saw Yash outside trying to hold Fiona’s hand. As he held her, she slapped….How dare she…. That b**ch! I rushed to save my crying friend.

“What is wrong with you Fiona? Yash….. you go to your college bus now…. I’ll speak with her”

“Mind your business whoever you are!”

“See…. I have more important work than chatting with a show-off  pig like you…. Tell me the reason why you cheated and hurt my friend”

“F*** off A**********"

As I was sure that Yash was out of my view, I slapped Fiona hard. She ran to her college bus crying. As the bus left, some seniors came with hockey sticks and blocked me. I felt something hit my heart hard……

The next moment, I saw myself at the hospital with my mom crying near me. I sat and consoled her.. As I was speaking, Yash came…

“Dude what happened? Tell me”

“Nothing to worry! I’m fine…  I fell out of the bus due to the crowd… It was an accident”

“De nadikadha… enaku theriyum…Hope you get well soon… I will speak to you later in phone….. Here is a bottle of Horlicks and fruits…”

“De naa enamo presavama irukra madhri panra?” (Why are you doing as if I recently got pregnant)

“Ivlo adi vanngiyum… Thirundhala paaru loosu!”(You haven’t changed even after you received a beating)

“Dey medhuva…Ammaku ketudum” (Dey please be silent.. mom will know)

“It’s all because of me na?”

“No da it’s not your fault… but… you must promise to do two things for me”

“And what is that?”

“Please forget Fiona… I know that you will get a better girl than her…”

“Ok… then”

“Please don’t let Vaishanvi know about this….Being a feminist..she will avoid me if …. She comes to know that I had slapped a girl and got beaten up for that”

“Hmm ok dude.. thanks for everything…. Take care… see you at college soon”

I got discharged from hospital after a day. I went to my home and saw that my phone was full of notifications. Most of them was from Gayathri and Vaishnavi. I opened Vaishnavi’s Fb conversation. I saw that she was online.

“Hey Mara…Heard that you had an accident! How are you now”

“Yes I’m fine!”

“Take care Mara… Yash is in bad shape! You really have to do something about it”

“Yes Vaishnavi don’t worry I’ll take care of it! What about your Fiance? You didn’t tell any details about him”

“Well…ok! If you really want, I can share the details with you… Won’t you get hurt? Coz you know…we…well”

“Na it’s fine! I’m happy for you”

“You know… Gayathri is really gifted to have you Mara”

“Now this is nonsense!”

“No I’m serious! You may be blunt, angry…but straightforward…one of a kind! You may say that you don’t like girls.. but I know that you respect them inside”

“Well… you know a girl proposed me… What should I do?”

“Wow… who is she… I’m sure that she is going to be happy to have found you”

“You know her…She is your fb friend”

“Gayathri? Pixie-cut proposed you?”

“Yes! Will it work.. I don’t want to hurt her you see”

“Of course it will! You won’t find a girl like her seriously… she told about you”

“What! tell me… what she told you?”

“She was telling about the things which happened.. how she met you..blah blah… except the proposal part! I don’t know why she hid that!”

“Hmm ok… You still didn’t tell me the name of your Fiance”

“Oh! I’m sorry about that.. His name is Noel”

“Then…..”

She told the details of her fiancé which was too boring for me! As I was replying, I saw that pixie-cut had messaged me on whats’app. I told vaishnavi that I will message her later.

“Hey pixe-cut! How are you?”

“Yes I’m great dear mafia”

“You know what? Your friend is in love with Shalini!”

“What the fish! Which friend?”

“Yash… I think”

“Oh! He is already not completely healed from Fiona… now… Shalini?”

“Hey shut up! Shalini is like you… she may seem a little bossy but an angel inside..”

“So you are trying to say that I am an angel as well?”

“Of course baby!”

“What? Me… baby?”

“Yes baby Mafia… hihi”

“Silly pixie…..”

“So tell me Mara.. your friend is committed…when are we… I mean you.. well”

“Ha ha as I told you earlier, I will be Samiyaar (monk) only”

“I love you Mara why don’t you understand that?”

“Hmmm… well ok I accept!”

“What…..?”

“I accepted your love silly..”

“What? Is this how you propose?”

“Ha ha you should be glad I atleast did this!”

“Yeah an happy… can’t tell you how much….but you can say that three words na?”

“I don’t know what’s so mesmerizing with that three words! Anyways.. I love you Pixie-cut.. I don’t know whether I’ll be a good lover to you, but I will try my level best to make you smile”

Yes! I'm in love with pixie-cut gayu dammit......
