Cupid’s Stupid Game Of Love (Chapter-13)

Cupid’s Stupid Game Of Love
Talks over the years
——————————-

Swara’s point of view.

As i walked past everyone in the hospital, they stared at me with utter surprise…. I remember accusing Sanskar’s grand mom for breaking our friendship when a she slipped into coma… We did so much for her… Instead of getting healthy for us, she slipped into coma and that’s what angered me…. I never entered this hospital ever since then but every doctor, every nurse, every ward boy, every staff member knows me quite well… They had to give me anti-depression pills to calm me down…

I slowly pushed the door of her room…. It was her room indeed…. She was living here for the past five years….. Maybe she loved this creepy white colored contaminated bed more than our clean colorful and cheerful one….. She is weird….She has always been weird….

I looked at her…. Pale face….. Lifeless body with injections running all over…. A glucose bottle connected to her hand….. A actual coma room is so different from the ones they show in movies and daily soaps….. It is much more scary…. Much more dull…. Much more dark….. Not literally dark, but the feeling we get in here is dark….

I walked closer to her and sat on the cold floor… I caught her hands….

“Dadi!” I never realized when but i broke into sobs……

“Dadi…. It was your wish to get us married… We married…. But you didn’t come back…. Dadi… come back…. He is leaving me….. He’ll leave me….” I sobbed harder as tears continued to flow down my cheeks….

“Dadi….. I know you wanted him to stay away from Kavita….. I know you wanted him to realize that she didn’t like him…. You wanted to stop him before he did something wrong….. And that’s why you wanted to see us married….. But we were just teenagers dadi” i explained with full hope that she is listening….. I’m such a hopeless creature.

Meanwhile, the dam i built over my eyelids top stop the flow of water was already broken by the stones of hurt and anxiety….

“Dadi…. I know you got married when you were thirteen….. But that was some other era…. Now, people don’t marry at that age…. It’s a crime….. You could have asked him to break his relation with Kavita…. He would have listened to you… He never disobeyed you right?” I asked and paused for a while as if waiting for an answer….

“I know… You and dadi could do anything to bring your grand children on the right path….. You proved that five years ago….. I hated you because i thought you were the one who spoiled our friendship…… We started hating each other….. Your mission of separating Sanskar and Kavita was accomplished…… But what about me? Dadi? You never thought about me? How would i live without a grand mom like you and a best friend like Sanskar?” I controlled my tears….

“You just lost your best friend that day… But i lost everyone…. I lost my dadi….i lost you…. I lost my best friend… I lost Sanskar’s family…. I lost my family… I lost Ragini….” I cried again thinking about the number of relations this marriage affected… Almost every relation was broken… I hated my family… I hated my best friend… I hated his family… I hated everyone….

“Only people i trusted were Laksh and Kartik…… ” i said and paused remembering what happened today…. A small smile appeared on my lips as i remembered Sanskar coming for my rescue…. It disappeared remembering the fact that we are going to separate soon….

“Laksh has always been my biggie bro… But Kartik….. Dadi… he tried to…” And that was it… I broke into sobs again…..

It took me a few kilos of minutes to recover…” But Sanskar saved me….. Nothing happened to me… See… I am all right…. But i fainted…. When i gained consciousness, he started scolding me…. And i said that I’ll be leaving him….” I cried.

“And… He readily signed the divorce papers….. Dadi…..” I took a deep breath…

“I love him… I love him dadi…. You always stopped him from making a wrong move…. You always showed him the correct path… Please…. Stop him…… He hates me… And he should hate me…. And I’m ready to do anything to get him back….. Please help me… Dadi…. your Shona needs your help” i finished my story and kept looking at her hopefully….

I wish she gets up and comes with me…. She pulls Sanskar’s ears and asks him to forgive me…. But she didn’t even budge….. Why would she help me? I hurt her…. I hurt everyone…. I hurt her grand son…. Why will she even help me? Maybe she’ll ask Sanskar to dump me as soon as possible…

God knows what happened to me…. I got up and started waking back home…… I called Sanskar on my way…..

“Yes?” was his weird way to greet me.

“Hello!Sanskar?… We need to talk… Are you free now?” I asked….. It’s a yes Swara…. It’s a yes!!!!

” no…..” He replied and hung up….

You know what? He is such an arrogant jerk!

Sanskar’s point of view

I looked at the caller ID…… Kavita….. A girl who was everyone to me one upon a time…… My girlfriend!!! Sorry! My Ex girlfriend!

I didn’t feel like picking up the phone… But still i did….
“Hello?” I mumbled softly…. God knows how she looks like now…
“Hallo Sanskar! I told you…… She’ll leave you….. And she did! Your Dadi wanted to separate us….. And so she asked you to marry your so called best friend….. Right? But now, your best friend left you…. That means we can be back together….” Her unfamiliar voice chirped……

“No….. I’m still married” i protested…..

“Who are you kidding? Me? As if i don’t know that you already signed the divorce papers” she mumbled with irritation….

“Kavita! I’m not interested in any relation now… Bye” i said with displeasure rolling my eyes…..

“Okay okay!!! No relation….. But we can still meet… As friends?? What say?” She chirped…

I rolled my eyes again….

“Kavitaaaa…” I was about to explain.

“Sanskar please!!!!” She pleaded…

“Okay…. Tell me… When and where” i said once again rolling my eyes.

“Palace hotel……. At five…. Is that fine?” She asked.

“Yeah” i replied with maximum interest i could show…. Zero percent!

“Byeeeee” she chirped…

I didn’t reply and disconnected the call……

As soon as i threw my phone on bed…. It rang again… Why doesn’t she understand I’m not interested to talk to her…

I looked at the caller id anyway….

“And you started dancing again” my brain chided…..

Shut up stupid brain!!

“Yes?” I asked rudely.

“Hello!Sanskar?… We need to talk… Are you free now?” She asked….. It’s a yes Sanskar…. It’s a yes!!!!

“No…” I replied before disconnecting the call….

You know what? I’m being a perfect heartless jerk now!!! And I’m hating myself… But what am i supposed to do? I’m going to meet Kavita today…..

“Your wife should be more important to you…. Than Kavita” it was My heart this time….

I hope i Already knew that!

“I know that! But i can’t help it….. I really funny want to fight now….. Not at least with Swara !!! Please” i scolded myself… Or rather i scolded my heart…

Yay!! I’m so super cool!!! I want to hide my feelings for the sake of my ego….

“Your ego will ruin you one day” my heart sneered….

As if i didn’t know that already!
