Chapter 10: A visit to past (III)
I was unusually ready and that too before time. I felt so much like a teenager who was going out on a date for the very first time.
Ummph ! I sat on the couch with a thud. I laid my head back and closed my eyes, thinking how on earth did I agree to go on a date with Arjun!
Oh right! He tricked my dad!
I just couldn't believe that he tricked my dad and he succumbed to his plan.
That manipulative prick!
Closing my eyes made me sleepy and to be honest ,I was tired. Tired of sleepless nights that I had spent on researching on the project that I've undertaken. I couldn't afford to look tired and lethargic on so called date.
I decided to help myself with a cup of coffee and hopefully it would rejuvenate me and make me look lively and ebullient.
After making myself a steaming cup of black coffee, I, again resumed my place on the couch.
With the cup of coffee in my hands, suddenly a wave of deja vu washed over me. I didn't want to think about that day again but who's got control over mind?
No one.
I couldn't help myself from reliving that past but the only good thing that brings a smile on my face is Karan's care. He always blessed me with comfort and care in my saddest time.
*FLASHBACK*
It is half past eight and Virat hasn't turned up to pick me up for college cultural night. I was angry as well as curious as to what was holding him back so much, that he couldn't turn up. Is there a genuine reason? Or he simply was being his self? The least I now expected was a call! A call was not much to ask? Was it? And when I tried to reach him, his phone went on a voice mail.
I desperately wanted to go, I was so excited for this cultural night as it was War Of DJ's tonight. It is not everyday that you get to dance on the best DJ's playing. For an instant, I thought of calling Karan and ask him to pick me up but then I didn't want to ruin his fun time only to pick me up. So......I decided to change into something comfortable and watch a movie.
I got up from the couch and my phone started buzzing.
Karan calling......
For a second, I hesitated to answer but I, anyways had to answer it.
"Where are you, Naina? I don't see you around", he asked not even bothering to say hello.
"I.......um.......ummm. Virat didn't turn up to pick me up and by the time I realized I should've have left by myself it was already 8:30".
"You should've told me! Here, I've asked every possible person who might know your whereabouts! And may I know why your prick of a boyfriend didn't give a damn about you? ", his tone was harsh but I knew he was mad at Virat and he was venting out his anger on me; but that doesn't mean his tone didn't scare me.
"I.....you know....I..."
"What, Naina? ", his tone now soft as he realized I was now scared.
"I didn't want to interrupt your fun time", I said.
"Oh my good God! Do you know that I wasn't having fun until now because I was busy tracing you and now.....now, I come to know that you haven't showed up!", he says all in one breath.
I didn't know what to say. My tongue was twisted and it was as if I forgot to speak. Eventually, when I didn't have anything to say, I said, " I'm sorry".
