OUR PURPOSE.

14. THE DATE AND DEATH.

*Anurag*

Sh*t.

I don't have any clothes to wear.

Ugh.

“Mumma!”

She comes running, almost frightened.

“Kya hua, beta?”, she asked. What happened, son?

She makes a funny face when she looks at the pile of clothes on my bed.

Then she starts laughing.

“Acha, toh maharaja bahar ja rhe hai?”, she asked, voice full of sarcasm. So, king is going out today?

Why is she laughing? She should be happy that I am going out of house, I have been here, since... I can't even remember.

“Mumma, help me? What should I wear?” I asked her, almost pleading.

“Umm... Wear that white shirt with your black pants. You look handsome in that.”

“Mom, I look handsome in everything” I said in a duh tone.

“Then, why did you call me to choose an outfit for you?” she laughed,“So, what are getting dressed up for?” she asked.

Yohi toh, abhi tak kaise nhi pucha, I laughed to myself.

“I am meeting someone, mom”

“Oh, who is she?”

Mom, there is no she. It's he.

“Kay nay g, aai, ja tu” I replied. No one mom.

“Ok, ok, I know you'll eventually tell me and I want you back before 8pm”

“Yes, sir” giving her a salute.

She is loving, sweet, like the best mom in the world but she has some rules and if you break them, she'll break you. Just kidding. But yeah, she is strict, sometimes.

She left me and I started getting ready.

I wore the white button down shirt and black pants and my belt.
Sprayed on some perfume.
Gave my hair some direction.
And applied some powder and lip balm.

And I sat on the bed. 

After waiting for an eternity, I got a message from him.

Omkar: I am here.

I wasted no time and rushed out of the room.

I gave mom a quick kiss and said bye.

Wearing my socks and shoes, I was almost going to jump down the stairs but lucky for me, the elevator was here.

I checked my reflection in the mirror.

I tried to take deep breaths and act like it's no big deal, when it obviously was.

When I reached the ground floor, I walked out of it casually.

And I saw him.

Omkar was wearing a pink button down and blue jeans, he was looking so cute and sexy and the same time.

Wait, is that even possible?

He flashed a smile at me.

I did the same.

As I took into consideration the surrounding, I noticed he is standing infront of a car.

He had a car!

Ani konti sadi sudi nahi, balki,

A Black Mercedes Benz!

“Dad's car.” he said answering the question I never asked him but somehow he knew.

“Oh” I said and walked towards the car. I walked towards the seat beside drivers.

“Wait, wait” Omkar shouted.

Is he making me sit at the back?

No, please don't.

He jogged towards me and opened the door for me.

“Well, thanks” I said awkwardly.

I mean I am new to this thing and it's not like I am physically incapable of opening a door for me but still it was like kinda cute.

I flashed him a smile and he closed the door and jogged towards driver's seat.

“So, where to?” I asked him.

“It's a surprise”, using his hands to make a sign of air quote he continued,“dumbass”

I couldn't really control my smile

“Well, my date is funny” I said.

“Ofcourse he is” He said flipping the imaginary hair he has.

“Bas ab, Let's go”

The ride was silent but not uncomfortable silence.

He played some nice songs. Or should I mention romantic songs.

“Aren't I a badass? Ugh, It took sooo much effort to gain the title of bad boy. But I like how I am right now, with him. I guess, the bad guy fell  for the nerd. But I am not a bad guy. So, what am I? Dog. I would love to be one. I wish I was a scary looking dog, with a filthy rich master. I would look like a fu*kin badass without any fu*king effort.. Man, that would be an amazing life.”

“Hey” someone other than me and much louder spoke.

“Are you bored?” Omkar asked, with concern all over his face.

“Aww”

“No, just thinking” I replied.

“Sachi?”. Really?

“Yes, dumbass” I said in a teasing tone.

He gave a smile or should I say you-could-kill-me-or-just-ask-anything-you-want-and-I'll-give-it-to-you-happily-even-my-life-or-wait-let's-stop-talking-and-kis- wait,Is this going too fast?

Am I too gayer?

Jay bhai told me, like basically revealed to me that he was gay.

He even told me how he found it, and about his current boyfriend.

He told me when I went down, when zoya was in the hospital.

Zoya.

Sh*t.

What about Zoya?

My mind is Fu*ked up.

Why didn't I think about her?

How could I forget her?

I was just seconds away from confessing my feelings for her.

But, I have feelings for him,too.

I like both of them.

Is this normal?

Ugh.

And then, my phone chirped with a message.

I checked my phone to see who sent it.

It was Zoya.

I could feel Omkar looking at me curiously.

Even, a little worriedly.

I unlocked my phone and in there she wrote:

Zoya: He is dead. Chacha is dead. Anurag, he was my everything. I need someone. Zafi bhai and papa is not here. They wouldn't take me to the cemetery. I don't wanna be alone,please. meet me at Navratna in 20.

×~×~×~×~×~×~×~×~×~×~×~×~×~×~×~×~

What do you think?

Would Anurag ditch Omkar and meet Zoya or vice-versa?

Q~ Maggi or Top ramen?

With patience and love,
Kalyani.
