The Open Secret

Confessions

 We went to Rohit's house to find him.I was waiting in the hall.Danny went upstairs and searched him but he was not there.Thats when I remembered he joined the music club and he must be with Adhi now.I asked Danny whether monster knew I was his cuddle bunch?."When did sugar cube become monster zeedy?"he asked laughing hard.I told him to shut up and took him to the club.

 We reached there and everyone were practicing.And correctly they had their break.Adhi came down the stage to me."Chunky what are you doing here with tacos in your hand?"he asked and I could sense his stomach grumbling in hunger.I mean is there any time he has not been hungry.So we all sat near the stage and that's when I noticed the monster.He walked past us with his phone in his hand.If Adhi had car issues then monster had phone issues.I have never seen him without his phone till now.Suddenly I found Rohit and Adhi staring at me.Did I tell that loud?Oops.Danny called him also to join us.Adhi went and got coffee for all of us.Perfect.

So I had a sip of coffee and started to act dramatic."Adhi Can I have one sugarcube please?".Suddenly the monster looked up from the mobile".Quite a win."Since when did you start wanting only one sugarcube ?".Oh God.I could see the monsters life collapsing.But he managed to ask "Why do you need a umm sugar cube when the coffee is sweet already?".Thats when I told him "But my life is no longer sweet when I ignore my sugar cube.Umm I mean one sugarcube.Its kind off mandatory"I finished it with my signature smirk.

"Oh Drama Queen enough I can't handle it all in a day"Danny said and suddenly his face changed."What happened Danny?"was all I could ask."It's just that I'm leaving tomorrow and it was a huge surprise meeting you  but i'm not leaving having so many questions unanswered.Its time to open up.I got to sort it out Zeedy.I mean do you understand Zee I promised Neha. You are  not the only one suffering.From the day you left she has been dying inside and have not decided whether to stand for her bestfriend or for her love."I was shocked.Its not that I don't think about Neha.I still could not forgive myself for doing it to her.Our times flooded back and so did my eyes.I hurt her badly and selfishly.I wanna scream the truth out.But I don't know how.And I don't want all this pain I suffered to go to drain.Selfish said my conscience.I am going to kill my inner self.

"Am I missing something because I don't understand a word you guys are talking about.Care to explain at least now?"Adhi told sending me daggers."Nothing to open up and all.Danny is just messing.And Danny what happened is the truth.There is nothing to explain okay?"I told him emotionless.

 Danny just lost his temper."LISTEN ZYRA DIXIT,I BLOODY NEED THE TRUTH.STOP FOOLING AROUND.I AM NOT THAT NAIVE.FOR ONCE PUT YOURSELF IN FRONT OF OTHERS BECAUSE I VERY WELL KNOW YOUR NOT CAPABLE OF CHEATING?".Adhi worsened it more by saying"Dude, control yourself.Chill okay?!"."OH COME ON.CANT YOU SEE HOW PATHETIC SHE IS?"Danny said completely losing his temper.

 "She seems cool.I mean she is happy.Ain't that enough."Adhi told like it's no big deal."OH REALLY. YOU THINK SHE IS HAPPY. WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HER? SHE USED TO BE A MINGLE FREAK.DID YOU KNOW THAT SHE HAS NOT PASSED A DAY WITHOUT TALKING TO AT LEAST 10  NEW PEOPLE A DAY. SHE ONLY HAS ONE SINGLE FRIEND HERE. SHE HAS NOT MISSED A SINGLE PARTY BACK THEN AND PEOPLE DON'T COME TO PARTY IF SHE IS NOT THERE. HAS SHE EVER ATTENDED A PARTY HERE. SHE NEVER KEPT HER MOUTH SHUT FOR MORE THAN A MINUTE.NOW SHE BARELY TALKS A WORD.YOU KNOW WHATS WORSE SHE HAS NOT SPENT A DAY HURTING HER SOUL BEST FRIEND AND NOW SHE HAS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED TWO YEARS HURTING HER.YOU ARE SO SELFISH ZEE.So for mother effing sake,OPEN UP"he said panting for air standing right opposite to me.Adhi was shocked to speak.Shocked was an understatement.I could sense hurt in his eyes.I guess I have hurt enough people.

"You are calling me selfish Danny?"I laughed to myself."If only I was selfish back then I wouldn't have lost my relationship,my best friend and the life I used to have.What do you know Dan?".
