Fatal attraction

Chapter 11

Hey ! I changed Roy's name to Marshall..

"Honey, it's 8:30", Megha softly tapped the door.

"Hmm..Just a sec", I got up from my bed and rushed towards the bathroom frantically.

"Hurry up! We have to reach there before him!" I applied face wash and splashed water on my face. After few minutes, I rushed towards the gate where Megha was waiting for me in the car, not bothering about changing my clothes.

*After 1/2 hrs and 15 min*

"Where the hell is your stupid ex", Megha stomped her foot on the ground and snorted.

I glanced at the road for the 11th time. "I don't..." Suddenly, I saw a black Honda Civic. "There he is", I pointed at it as my heart fluttered. Stupid heart... I snorted.

"Ah nice", Megha smirked and called up her 'gay' friend.

"Yeah! he's wearing a black shirt. You received the pic, no? Yeah, I know he's smart. Flirt with him.Yeah. Rest you know what to do", I heard her as she spoke on the phone.

"Come on. Hurry up!", She grabbed my hand as we ran towards the club.We sat on 2 chairs and waited for him. After few sec, I saw him making his way through the crowd to the bar as he glanced around and sat on the stool. Megha smirked and winked at the bartender.

"Why did you wink at him?", I whispered in her ear. She smirked and mouthed 'Wait and watch'.

The bartender said something to Rohan as he offered him vodka. Rohan nodded and gulped it down as the bartender offered him few more glasses. After he finished all of them, he banged his head on the table and dozzed off. I looked worriedly at my crazy best friend who squeezed my hand reassuringly. After some time, I saw a guy going towards Rohan who I assumed was Megha's friend, Roy and waking him up. He lifted his head and looked at Roy as he said something to him. He raked his hair and hugged him as Roy showed us the victory sign.

"Give me the camera quickly", She snatched the camera out of my hands and started taking the video of the whole scene.

The hug lasted for a few minutes and after that they started dancing romantically.

"Omg! Vas happenin, boys?", I chuckled at the scene as well at my sentence. It is Zayn's favourite line.

They looked like a gay couple completely in love. I was laughing as I watched their romance when suddenly, I gasped when I saw both of them.. smooching!!

"What the fuck?", I covered my mouth with my hand as I got up from my seat.

Megha pulled me down as she grabbed my hand. "Shshsh", She hissed and pointed at the camera.

'Sorry', I mouthed at her, still shocked at the scenario. After few minutes, Megha called her friend and asked him to stop all this and we left the club.

*After 20 minutes*

"What if he called you back?", I bit my lower lip as I kept the pillow on my lap.

"He won't", She smiled gleefully.

"The kiss", She chuckled.

"Omg!", I laughed and fell on the floor.

"You...should...have... seen...his...face", She spoke in between her laughs.

"He...will..regret...drinking..", I wiped a tear from my eyes as Megha fell on the floor beside me, laughing hilariously.

After our laughing session, we uploaded the video on youtube.

I'm feeling much better now. This should teach him a lesson to never ever someone's heart...I taught him a lesson, mom. I looked at the ceiling and smiled proudly.

              ******************

At midnight, I opened my mum's diary and started reading it.

Dear diary,

       I finally found you behind my new books. I'm in 8th standard now and it's been 1 year since I filled your pages and it's been 2 years since I had a crush on him. I want to tell you something which devastated my life. After my 7th final exams were over, I received the news about my grandmother's death. I felt very sad and devastated because I loved her very much. She was very fond of me and my mother also told me that she wanted to see me in her last days but her wish couldn't be fulfilled as I had my exams. At her funeral, there was a family dispute. I was angry at my uncles. I mean it's their mum's funeral, can't they fight some other day? I didn't know why it started and I never asked anyone. I was feeling very weak and feverish. I couldn't ealk properly and felt like I would faint anytime. I guessed that it might be because I didn't eat anything the previous day. At night, I was talking to my mother when she held my face and looked in my eyes worriedly and then screamed. My dad came in the room as I started crying. I thought I had AIDS or something. Next day, we went to the doctor who told us I had jaundice and If I had come later, then my liver would have damaged. I started crying at her words and mentally thanked God. Maybe they were tears of joy because I wasn't going to die or maybe because I wanted to enjoy these days and now, I had to lay on the bed and eat sweet things. I wanted to eat junk food. I wanted to go shoping for novels or clothes. I wanted to roam around with my friends. But, I guess have to just sit at home and sulk. Well, I'll write later because I'm feeling a little bit dizzy. I hate this disease already..

Sneha

I flipped the pages fervently. I read my mum's diary as if I was reading a novel and I love reading novels.

Dear diary,

       I totally feel like I should commit suicide. This is riduculous. I think God likes to make my life hell. No, even hell is such a small term to be used to define my life. Lemme elaborate. I was online when I received Niharika's message. She wanted to call me and asked me if I was free. When I replied in affirmation, she called me and told me something I didn't wanna hear. Something which injected pain straight into my heart. I wished I would have never logged on fb. I wished to never pick her call. Well, so here it goes, one of my good friends is committed with Him. I felt so wierd while writing these 9 words. Jealousy? yes. Hate? yes. Sadness? yes. Shock? yes. I felt all these emotions at once when I heard the news from Niharika. I didn't have the strength to cry because I felt so weak and miserable. So, I just laid on my bed during the remaining days like a motionless living being. I didn't speak with anyone, not even my parents after that day because I was not in a mood  to talk. I secretly wished to die. Sometimes i think i overreact but its just so..... i can't even find a suitable adjective to describe my current situation.... I still have feelings for him which I'm trying to ignore but.... He's hers now and I can't do anything about it because let's face it she's better than me except in academics and nature-wise. But, people go for the outer appearance not for the inner one....

ps- I'm sorry because I ruined your pages with my tears.

Sneha...

I wiped my tears from my face. It brought back the emotions I felt when I saw Rohan with that girl. I understood my mum's feelings. I knew how it feels to see the one you love with someone else. But, you still keep loving them because there's a tiny little part of you that keeps the love burning new, fresh and bright. This little hope is what keeps you going. The pain keeps crushing you down while you still cling to that 0.1% hope. Stupid hope and its bullshit.

"I don't believe in fucking hopes", I shrieked and clenched my hair. I looked at the wall as the vision became blurry. This time I didn't wipe those tears because I deserved this pathetic life. I regret loving that bastard and tommorrow, Mr. Rohan is gonna be the worst day of your life.... I laughed evily, tears still streaming down my cheeks.
