Twists Twirls Perils & Pearls

48. Stranger Talks

"KAVACH???!! What kind of name is that? You are Indian? You don't look... sorry. But auburn hair, blue eyes are rare for Indians." Abhedya was still under the effect of the drug.

"I am Indian. My hair is dyed but my eyes are magical." Kavach explained to him with a smile.

"You are very pretty and your smile is very... amicable. I am hot." Abhedya suddenly took off his blazer and shirt.

"What are you doing?" Kavach asked him. She got a little nervous.

"I am hot... very hot." Abhedya took the water bottle and drank in one go. He splashed some on himself.

The dripping water from his hair, to his face, to his chest, to those perfect abs and lower was epic level sexy, tempting and heavenly.
Kavach could not stop gawking at the enchanter. She dropped her gaze when Abhedya whipped his face with his hand.

"Could you drop me home?" Abhedya asked her.

"No! I can't enter the city. You will have to stay in the jeep for tonight. If someone is waiting for you, make an excuse." Kavach told him.

Abhedya half-heard her and rested his head at the headrest.
"Wait? I don't know if she will ever wait for me. I broke her heart again today. I doubt she will speak to me? See my face. I hate myself. I feel my coming to the world was a mistake. Huh! Sorry! Don't bother. I am just..." Abhedya stopped speaking. He was only thinking of Swarnima.

"Since we have the whole night, you may talk to me. Sometimes strangers are good for talking and sharing stories. They don't know you or people around you to pass their judgements. Go ahead. Try me." Kavach lent him an ear to narrate his story.

Abhedya looked at her for a few seconds and said, "You have a very captivating face. No! I am not flirting. So, my story is... was a fairy tale. I loved a girl from the day she was born.
Our parents were best friends and the day she was born I knew she was in this world for me. I was just about one but was obsessed with her. My mom said, my crying, tantrums everything stopped at her sight.
We were kids but made promises of a lifetime to...
love each other
Remain Best friends forever
Never keep secrets from each other
Never say anything that would hurt the other
Fight all fights together
Share our toys and chocolates
Be with each other on happy and sad days
But, fate separated us.
I met her again but didn't recognise her. She was in front of me for three whole years but she didn't bother to come to me. She broke the promises. I was and still am angry with her for hiding. But, I was ready for a fresh start and we did. I guess, someone cast an evil eye on us.
We are grown-up but are poles apart from each other.
She is the miss always right. I am the arrogant jerk. She sees the world from a perspective that is not acceptable to me and I guess, vice versa.
She is a different girl. Different from all angles and for all reasons.
With her around I say something, I mean something and I do something.
I hurt her, say mean things to her, scold her, but she remains quiet. She never registers her objections. I want her to fight back, shout at me... but I fail to get any reactions from her.
She is the sweetest, prettiest and purest soul alive. She makes me feel like a devil's reincarnation.
You know, sometimes you should fight and finish off everything but she never says anything, keeps to herself, is lost in her world, her silence kills me. And provokes me!! Damn, I hate her!
Today... I said something so hurtful and mean to her but she didn't say anything. Had my friend done anything like that, I would have fought and made him apologise. She needs to understand friends get closer with fights too. She is distancing herself from me, but, I will just hold her and keep her to myself. I am not letting her go... not this time." Abhedya stepped down from the jeep and banged his hand on the bumper of the jeep.
