Finding Her....Last Love 2

Just Friends

Reshu

After the Delhi event, our business boomed. Through references we had revived many orders. Skhika like a superwoman decided to take care of logistics and staff. ''Reshu don't you think we should hire a little of permanent staff''

''That means paying them every month. Won't that be a financial liability'' Shikha smiled; ''honey we are taking up all kinds of events , so we would be busy all year. If we hire contractors we end up paying more, here we will hire people on lesser packages. We give them job security and they would settle for lesser packages''

''Ok, I am fine if you are'' I went back to my laptop, doing nothing. I was just staring at the screen . Lost in my own world . ''Missing Yash'' Shikha interrupted my thoughts.

''N..No. Why would I miss him. I was just thinking about what you said'' I am sure am looking like a clown because Shikha laughed aloud at my words . ''It's ok Reshu, it happens '' Popping some snacks in her mouth she walked out of the room giving me a mocking grin. ''Arghh !! Yash'' Pushing my chair back I decided to take a break moving to the window overlooking to majestic Arabian sea. The rise and fall of waves made me smile. I had opted for sea facing Apartment because water calms me , it helps me break from lingering thoughts and right now I am looking for break from thoughts about Yash's .

Since our meeting, he had clouded my thoughts and even my dream. This disturbs and confuses me to the core. When he messaged me about attending a wedding and some match making hawk Sweety aunty, I really wished he rejected all girls. He did, but then I recalled he is committed to someone and is here for her. I message Shikha about going to the beach before leaving my apartment.

It was a pleasant evening and sand under my feet appeared cool, moving along the shore I smiled looking a roaring waves. I wanted to move out of all the thoughts and insecurities I feel regarding Yash. He is my friend , the best one , nothing more. I have been reminding this to myself quite frequently now . Yet I keep forgetting it. My heart jumps to my mouth when I think of his girlfriend. How must she be? Beautiful, intelligent or snob like Sheetal, who is just waiting for another more promising option which she can grab and crush Yash's heart . Shaking my head I huffed once, whom so ever she is. She should know, that she is really lucky to have a guy like Yash swooning over her . If she dared to hurt him once, I will smash her face hard. A sudden protectiveness surged my body.

I groaned, not again . I came here to get rid of his thoughts and all I am doing is planning the butchery of his current girl friend. I laughed , I have always been like this for my close ones. I had even warned Vivek against breaking Neha's heart. I still remember his blank expression when I kept listing all horrible things I would do to him in case he makes my dear friend cry. But Yash, I don't know why ?  I am worried about him, he isn't one those guys who could move on in a day. He is someone who puts his heart and soul into a relationship. He does his all to make it work, I had seen that while he was with Sheetal. She had made him something else, I would never forget the night he called me all broken.

It was around 11 in the night , me and Neha were busy revising the topics for our internal test next day. Neha was asking and I was answering , we always did that while revising. I had turned my phone on vibrating mode to avoid the irritating message tone. Neha asked me something and I started answering in points, just then my mobile started vibrating. I ignored once but it kept on going, thinking something I decided to check. To my surprise it was Yash, he never called this late, that worried me. A sense of discomfort and fear gripped my mind, picking my mobile I walked out into the lobby; ''Yash''

My heart sank as I heard his violent sobs; ''Why did she do this to me Resh? What wrong did I do to deserve this betrayal'' he was literally screaming in pain. Through his voice, I realised he was drunk. I cursed , why do guys have to be Devdas after a heartbreak. I understand it must be painful , but why destroy oneself for someone unworthy. ''Yash where are you?''
