Chapter 11: 11. JUST A PLAY

Teena pov :

I sat upright on my bed as my hands travelled to the direction where my phone was kept. My hands ran through my brownish black locks on my face while I silently stared at my phone screen for a notification. I sigh escaped my lips as I stepped into the bathroom to freshen up.

As I walk into rhe room after freshening up, a sudden ting sound makes its way past my ears. I grab my phone in a state of happiness and a small squeak escapes my lips.

It was his birthday!!! Omgg, I'm so excited, excited to such an extent I can't tell.

I pull off in my best looks, a red dress, a pearl necklace , high heels with a messy bun and my locks arising on my forehead.

Lastly before I go out, I grab the keys from Nisha.

Driving at the top speed possible, I turn on my playlist. From charging up while listening to baadshah to almost crying at Lana Del Rey's song.

On the way, I picked up a beautifully decorated flower bouquet made entirely of roses after all it was his favourite and all I wanted to do was to surprise him on his special day..

I reached there much faster than I had expected. Opening my seat belt I parked the car in front of the main gate, which looked enormously big and also well designed with flowers and statues adorning the intricate pattern.

Damn!

I took my way through one of those huge gates when I came across my friends chatting in the hallway.

There was a number of girls staring at me when I was startled by a sudden voice.

Yeah, it was him.....

"Darling, I missed you" Riyansh exclaimed.

"HAPPIEST B'DAY LOVE, I MISSED YOU TOO" I spoke when I received a hug in return.

He took my arm and introduced me to his friends.

T : why don't you cut the cake??

R : I will love, just waiting for someone special...

He emerged out of the great ballroom to greet the guests while I stood there busy texting Nisha saying that I won't return home tonight, as Riyansh had planned a sleepover party for his birthday.

Just then I came across HIM  holding onto another girl's wrist entering through the doorways, she was none other than the famous college bully, Pihu.

I didn't speak further, I took steps towards him in an instant angry mood when he called me for the cake cutting celebration. Once again, I shrugged off my thoughts.

All the while he was busy cutting the cake, I was busy admiring his handsome face. Like last year I expected him to splash the cake on my face first, but perhaps I was wrong. He cut the equally with feeding the first bite to his friends.

Is he by any chance ignoring or trying to avoid me???

No he can't, maybe I'm overthinking....

He handed me his phone saying " i need to go out for some work, love, can you pls hold my phone??"

I had evidently agreed , not knowing what was coming next. I was about to enter the garden which was the main venue for the evening's party.

Seeing the venue decorated with colorful lights and flowers and many things of such kind, I started daydreaming thinking how we will enjoy tonight. But a sudden phone call rummaged my thoughts . On seeing the caller ID, I was a bit startled.

Bhaiya??

He had a brother??

He never told me though. I felt curious looking at the photo, as if though I had seen him somewhere. and me being the dumbass I am I picked up at the call.

"ji??"

I said but I got no response from the caller. Deaf is he?? Can't he reply I thought to myself when I spoke again

" Mr Riyansh is not available now."

thats when i felt a soft voice speaking

"Uhmm. can you pls give the phone to him, whoever you are, I need to speak to him urgently."

THE AUDACITY...

The audacity this man has to call me WHOEVER , I wanna punch him straight in his face.

"WAIT"

I retorted back at him almost yelling.

I rushed towards the garden only to witness a scene which broke my heart. His phone slipped from my hand while I covered my hand to stop the squealing cries to escape my lips.

HE WAS KNEELING DOWN RIGHT IN FRONT OF ANOTHER GIRL WITH A BOUQUET OF FLOWERS, THAT TOO NOT AN ORDINARY BOUQUET, IT WAS THE SAME DAMN BOUQUET OF ROSES I HAD GIFTED HIM.

the whole crowd was cheering and cooing at them, while I stood there dumbfounded  mentally slapping myself for disobeying the words of all my well wishers.

Him and Her , both looked at each other with eyes full of appreciation and smile ,but no one paid heed to the girl, who was broken and crying her heart out.

Crying and screaming  I grabbed my bag and  ran out . I bolted the door of my car pushing aside the seatbelt.

"waisa bhi ab jiu ya maru?

kya faraq?? kon dekhega?

dekhnewale ne bhi to saath chor diya......."

Jhuth tha sab, jhuth thi uski batein aur uski duniya, pyaar kabhi kiya bhi tha usne mujse?? kiya hota to kisi aur ke liye ghutne na tekta.......

I drive silently when the cold breeze brought inside by the car windows makes a shiver run down by my veins and I get forced to close the windows, when I see rain pouring down the sky.

A smile curves on my lips.

The rain??My favourite?

Yeah it is, because whenever i cry it does not leave me alone , instead it cries along with me.

I speed down the roads as i wipe off my tears .

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

On the other side ,

Nisha pov:

"Shubhi lights off kar dena, andhere me movie dekhneka maza hi kuch aur hai."

I said as I swiftly settled myself on the couch laying on mr toothsie, my pillow, the only one I can hug while I sleep.

Shubhi turned off the lights with an annoyed expression her face , while I switched on the tv.

"konsi movie dekhe gi ?"

" jo bhi dekhna hai dekh but horror mat dekhio, warna mummy ko tera susu pochna padega" Shubhi teased

YARR YE DI BHI NAA, inka hum kuch nahin kar skte.

" uff, thik hai , chalo we will watch CONJURING then." I said with a smirk on my face, as I knew shubhi di will deny and I will get the chance to annoy her, but to my uttermost disappointment, SHE AGREED .

We sat down comfortably on our seats with a bucket of popcorn in our hands, when the sound of a thunder echoed through the room.

"MUMMY, BACHAO BHOOT" I squealed

Shubhi di being the over confident ladki she is, got up to open the door.

When another thunder hit our ears , the lights including the TV went off with her almost jumping on my lap like a scared kitten.

Then I stood up rushing towards the main door, when the door bell rang, while chanting the bhoot bhagayo mantra.

The next thing we saw, made both of us scream, as if though a real bhootni had appeared in front of our eyes.

It was Teena di, her whole dress drenched in water, her eyes bright red, her under eyes visible clearly and her hair which looked like that of a bird's nest.

"mujhe to laga, aj main gya" Shubhi di exclaimed, while I laughed sarcastically, without noticing Teena di.

"Waisa di apne to bola tha, aj Riyansh ke ghar ap stay karogi, apka plan cancel ho gya kya?? " I said but got no response in return.

"Teena?? Tu hosh me hain na?? " Shubhi di asked.....

Instead of her response, the thing which took place, made us halt in our tracks, as she passed out right on my shoulder while clutching onto Shubhi di's hand.

"Di, di, wake up, di, wake up, kya hua apko" was thee last thing I said while patting her cheeks..... Trying to wake her up.
