      Epilogue

      I live and study at Samundra Institute of Maritime Studies, I am a cadet, a Mariner.

      24 September, 2013

      I was sitting in my cabin and was surfing through Facebook , enjoying the weather of this hill station, when suddenly I received a text,

      AYYAN

      Oh man!!! It was a text from her, its almost after a month when I had received a text from her. As soon as I saw the text I rose to the seventh heaven and Without wasting any time I replied.

      Hey. How are you?

      I am fine. Can we please talk on the phone?

      Wow!!! My heart beat increased tremendously and it seemed like my heart will pop out of my chest and say Asshole give me your phone, I will talk to her. I was smiling as if she just came towards me, hugged and kissed me. Taking a deep breath and keeping my imagination safe, I called her. Just a single ring and she picked up. My whole body was trembling and I was beaming that after so long I could at last hear her voice but at the same time silly questions were striking my mind. Why does she want to talk to me?, What has happened?Does she want to apologize for her previous behavior? .

      Hello. How are you?

      I am good and you?

      " Badiya"

      She said this and stopped speaking and I was wondering what had happened. After waiting for a while, I said.

      "Haanji bolo?"

      " Kya bolu yaar??? Disturb toh nhi kiya.??"

      "Nahin nahin, I was free"

      " Yaar can you please do me a favor? "

      I should have guessed that she was calling for a favor.

      Yaa sure

      Can you please convince Dhruv that I can't go to his birthday party?

      Sure, but what happened? Are you fine?

      And what happens next is the reason why my heart melts again and again.I hear her voice break into tears. She was trying to gather all her courage and utter whatever came to her mind first, Ayyan, I am in a big trouble, please make them understand that I am not well. Please lie to them for me. I don't want to lose all my friends again.

      To this I nervously replied- I will do that, don't worry, but please tell me what has happened and why the hell are you crying? Please stop crying and tell me.

      Crying and sobbing, she replied rudely- I can't tell you. You just do what you are asked to do and please stop asking what has happened?

      I was trying to console her again and again asked her to stop crying and tell me her problem. But as usual, she didn't tell me anything and hung up by saying- Please do convince them all that, I am not well and I can't come to the party and please don't tell anyone anything. Please don't ask me what happened. I can't tell you.

      After our little so called Just Friends chat, I turned numb. My body along with my heart tried to absorb the mixture of emotions that reflect from this quick conversation. What the hell is her problem? Some hours passed and I was still thinking about her. I was not able to eat, think, or do anything. So I decided to call her again and talk to her. Though I so much feel like sharing my feelings with someone but right now I need to be alone. It a wondrously diverse situation when you are at a battle with your heart and mind.

      I chose the best place where I could sit alone and talk to her in a peaceful environment. I went to the backside of my college where the scenic beauty is simply fabulous. A lush green valley, clouds hovering over the green hills, making a canopy, a small river flowing in.. Cutting through the valley, making it a small paradise to look at. This is what Lonavala is known for, the best place where you can pass your time alone, thinking about someone special in your life.

      It was the evening time and I was all alone sitting in the dark having a look towards the natural beauty and I called her. I could actually picture her right now, her expressions on seeing my number flashing on screen.

      After few bells she received my call and she angrily asked, Yes??

      I politely asked her, " what happened yaar? Why were you crying?"

      She burst out and said, I told you, I don't want to share it with you, why the hell you don't understand?

      I was still calm and polite to her and tried to calm her down. Ok, fine, it's your wish if you don't want to share, then don't. I was just asking so I could help you. This was the line I always used to get people to tell me their problem, and it worked here too.

      Sinking into the speaker, she cuddled and calmly replied, neither you nor anyone can help me, I just broke up with my boyfriend.

      Now, it was a confusing situation for me, whether I should be happy or sad that the love of my life is single now. Happy, because now I can finally have her and sad because she is upset. But before I should try to make her feel good and console her. I nervously replied, but why?

      She sadly replied " yaar I was talking to a guy JUST AS A FRIEND whom he doesn't, like, without letting him know about it. This guy is just like a best friend to me, but my boyfriend doesn't like, me talking to him. "

      To this, I was not able to reply and all I could say was ohhhhh…"

      When she told about what all happened I was totally numb, I don't know why but I didn't like it. May be it was because once I used to be her best friend and when her boyfriend asked her, not to talk to me, she cut off all contact with me and left me alone.

      Then she continued and said maybe god is punishing me for doing all this to you. For hurting you. For not accepting your proposal even after knowing you how you felt for me. You liked me, but I didn't like you and I didn't accept you. That's why god is doing this with me.

      Now what the FUCK was that?? She was blaming me for her breakup and all mess in her life. WHY THE HELL IS SHE BLAMING ME???? Where was I in between all this ?

      But still I didn't say anything to her. I was about to cry, but I controlled my emotions and tried to make her understand that she should not burden herself, her boyfriend will be back because he loved her. This was the only thing I could say to her, though disheartedly. For about fifteen minutes I tried to make her feel good and asked her not to be bothered about all this.

      After her call was disconnected, I was in tears. It is a messed up situation when you try to support a needy person, though you are aware of the fact that you require it most. I wanted to cry but couldn't. This was the moment I regretted being in love with her. I was out of my mind sitting in darkness, watching those dark mountains, playing an irony in my life, local trains passing by. I wanted to talk to someone, I wanted someone's shoulder to cry on but I couldn't share this with anyone around me. Now this was the time I missed my home, my family, my friends more because I wanted to talk, because I wanted to share, but I was sitting alone 1500 kilometers away from my native place and my people.

      Some time passed and I was still sitting there all senseless, I received a text from my closest friend, my sister and the one with whom I could share everything, Ridham. I called her and after hearing her voice I started crying, I was in tears, but I didn't let her know about this. I said to her, Ridhu, she called me today.

      She nervously replied and asked me Who???

      SIYAA

      She replied angrily what the hell she wants now? Why can't she just leave you alone?

      I tried to calm her down and said " yaar she was crying."

      Ridham, still in an angry tone Why? And if she is crying, it should not bother you. She must be getting bored and wanted someone for time pass. So please ignore her.

      Ridhu at least listen to me first and then comment on her this time I burst out loud, though she was my best friend. I could not hear anything against Siyaa.

      Ridhu, she broke up and she didn't want to go to Dhruv's birthday party. So she just asked me to convince all our friends from SPC for her absence.

      Ridham was less calm and asked me, why was I upset then?

      I replied, I am confused that now as she is single so I should try to hit on her once again. Just a try. I said this to lighten the tension.

      She burst out laughing and said " Mere Bhai to itna pagal Kyun hai. Try it, but this time be careful, I don't want you to be a Devdas again."

      I hung up because I didn't want her to know the real thing. I always wondered if at anytime Ridham met Siyaa, she will murder her, just for hurting me. I was sitting in the dark and lonely place for more than an hour and was still thinking about the same thing, Why did she blame me for her breakup even though I
