Chapter 58: chapter 58

Aman – What! But why are you feeling like that I am not caring?Samaira – Because you didn’t for me yesterday!Aman – What are you saying? I cared for you and for your friends. I had you and your breakfast lunch and then even ice-creams! What more were you expecting? Samaira – Getting someone lunch and ice-cream doesn’t mean that you care for her.Aman – What! I am not getting you! Then what’s the meaning of caring? I did what I could.Samaira – You did nothing that a gentleman was supposed to do. Aman – Then please tell me what I missed? Samaira – You missed everything, Aman.Aman – But what? Samaira – You should be knowing yourself. These are not the things that others tell you. You are a grown-up adult, not a kid. Aman – What do you mean? I really don’t know what you are trying to say. Please you tell me. Samaira – You knew that we had from Delhi. Aman – Hmm...Samaira – And it’s a way far from Ludhiana. Aman – Hmm...Samaira – And I had come with my friends. And we were girls. You should have got us a room. You should have stayed with us. Being a boy, you should have thought that we girls were alone and it was your responsibility to protect us. Aman – But how I could have stayed with you all for the full night. I already told you that on the following day, I had to show my records to my officers. You know that my probationary period is going on. At my one mistake, they can throw me out of my job. Please try to understand me. Samaira – You know what my friends told me. They said to me sarcastically, “Is this the boy that you found yourself? If he didn’t take care of you before marriage, then what will he do after marriage?” They said to me clearly that he is not a good match for you. Aman – I am really very sorry, if my behaviour hurt you. But I was helpless. Samaira – My parents also don’t like this type of behaviour. What will I tell my parents about you? If they come to know that you did such a thing with me, they will never accept you. I didn’t say anything for a minute. Then I summoned all my courage and asked her, “So, what’s your final answer?”She said bluntly, “My final answer is no!”She hung up the phone on my face leaving me alone fully shocked. At once the song of movie “Dev D” started playing in my mind, “o pardesi, o pardesi, meetha sa chadha hai bukhaar, he re mai thara pardesi..” Well, I didn’t know what’s the meaning of these lyrics. But I would often listen to this song whenever I would fall in the deep well of sadness because of any girl in my teenage.My head began to spin. Everything around me turned blurred as if I had drunk two bottles of liquor. I thought, “It’s the first girl whom I said yes despite I didn’t want to say yes wholeheartedly. But she said no! A clear no! Now, I am finished!”“Uff! I am in a state of depression! What should I do now? I need help! Immediate help! I won’t let me in this state for a long time! But what should I do?”I went to the kitchen, took a glass and filled it with water. Quickly, I drank. But it didn’t help. A word struck in my mind “Friends!”. I said to myself, “I should call Paras and Amit right now. No! I should meet them now.”I kicked my bike and went straight to Paras’s house. From there, we went to Amit’s house together. He made us sit on the chairs on his terrace. Paras – Pal, today, why are you looking so depressed? Amit – Yes, he is looking terrible! No glow on the face! Aman – My brothers, today I am in depression! I am feeling very very very sad. Paras – But what happened? Aman – As both of you knew that I was looking for a girl on shadikamaal app, I found one girl with whom I can adjust in life. I said yes to her but she said no!Paras – Oh shit! Amit – That girl will regret her decision for sure. It’s very stupid to leave such a great guy like you. I said almost sobbing, “I don’t know if she will regret or not but I am regretting on my life, on my career! I don’t deserve any girl on the earth, my brothers! I am finished! I am done!”Paras – Hey! Hey! Don’t lose heart, Pal. We are with you. If we can help you in any way, then please let me know.Aman – No! Nobody can help me! It’s my destiny to be doomed!Amit – Aman, don’t lose heart. Have some courage. You have a good career. You will surely get a good girl. Aman – Amit, be practical. I practically tried to find a girl by using every mean I could but I failed to find even a single normal girl for me! (My voice broke in the last words.)Paras – Pal, I think today, you really need help. Aman – Yes, I do, my brother. I really need help. Paras – Let's go to a pub. Amit, today, we must take him there. Aman – No, I don’t want to go there! Paras – Pal, today, you are in tension. Have some pegs of whisky then everything will be fine. Believe me. Amit – Yes, Aman. He is right. Today, you must come with us. Otherwise, you will definitely fall in the depression. Today, the whisky will not be whisky for you. It will be a medicine for you. Please come with us. Paras – Yeah, absolutely correct. Come pal. Aman – No, I won’t. I will not drink wine, whisky or something like that as long as I am alive. But I am in tension, so I will definitely drink something. Amit – What do you want to drink?Aman – Milk shake. (It will be so nice of you, if you leave at least a single word comment 🌺❇️🌹🌺❇️)
