One Sided Love – Everyone Has A Story (Part 1)

One sided love huh…..common….not really…..I am confused….but this one is gonna take you through many stories of this kind
1. One sided love where you are friendzoned
2. One sided love where you have no courage to confess
3. One sided love which everyone takes as a joke but its genuine
4. One sided love where you get to have a relationship with them but they don’t have any feelings for you
5. Two sided love with constant fighting ’cause one sided is overloaded now.

So its been a as-always day. Get up. Prepare breakfast for two. Get him and yourself to work. Work. Get home. Sleep. Get up. Start preparing dinner for two.
I didn’t start preparing…wait….you should be wondering about the TWO.
Well one of them is ME. And the other one is not my husband or boyfriend. He is my schooltime bestie who lives across the hall now. The most trustworthy one. My parents secretly think (my brother told me) that he is my boyfriend. But I am 27 and my supercool parents haven’t even asked me about my marriage plans. Even though my relatives keep fixating on that. His name is Sandheer. Sandy.

So. I haven’t started preparing dinner ’cause I am waiting for my phone or skype to ring. Sandy is home I know. He must be doing the same.

Last time when we had this group skype chat was when Ragini and Sanskar-not the ones from SwaRagini, its just a coincidence- announced their engagement. And it was surprising. All of the sudden you recieve a call from Ragini and she asks-erm orders- you for a skype chat, and last time you talked to her was a week ago and she was crying and saying “I don’t want to see Sanky’s face ever again”, and then you see all your f.r.i.e.n.d.s on the screen and they said they are getting married. It was a less of a shock and more of a surprise but a huge dose of happiness. They both are like Ross and Rachel. On and off and on again and off and so on. Ragsy and Sanky are the love story no. 5 (see the top). And 6 months ago when they told us that marriage date has been fixed, Ananya told us that she is also getting married. Arranged marriage. Now this was more than a shock. And we were kinda happy for Ana. But the fact that we did not know the boy and ARRANGED marriage kept us wondering. And it was kinda awkward too. And gloomy for Sandy. Sandy’s love story is no. 1 for Ana. He managed not to say anything for the call but we were on the same phone and I saw his face. I was about to cry seeing him. But he needed my support.

We all knew the topic of today’s chat. As SanGini marriage had just a month to go, we had to discuss it. My skype rang and I recieved. Including me, there were three people on screen.

Me- Yo Sanky Yo Ragsy
Sanskar- Yo Rhea

Did I mention before that my name is Hridyanshika Singh a.k.a Rhea?

Ragini- No one is online except you. I hate everyone.
Sanskar- Where is Sandy?
Me- He was home an hour ago. And society kids just rang his bell and ran so he must be awake….

My door opened. Sandy came in.

Sandy- Rhea I forgot about the chat. Ragsy is calling me. She’ll ring you soon. We’ll just tell them I was here and I didn’t for…

He stopped his rant when he realised what was on my laptop screen.

Sandy- get. Erm Hii Ragsy. Yo Sanky.

Me and Sanky were laughing while Ragsy giving angry looks to him added Chandana a.k.a Moon to the chat. Moon is my cousin. And ours is a joint family.

All of us (me and my friends) studied in St. Mary’s school in Manali and we all hail from there. We were together in school. All in same section till 10th. But then the streams divided us. I was a commerce baby. Me and Arhaan (Honey) were the ones in commerce. Moon and Sanky were humanities. Ana and Ragsy had PCB and Sandy and Ankash a.k.a Ashu had PCM. But we all still had english common. Science people had most of their classes common. Sanky had economics with us. And we had maths with Sandy and Ashu. It wasn’t like before but still good.

Chandana- Hey people
Sanskar- Yo babe
Sandheer- Hey
Ragini- I hate you
Me- Hi Moon. How are you?
Chandana- Still Alive. You?
Everybody- Same

Honey, Ashu and Ana were added.

Ana- So whats the plan.
Moon- Leave plan. In the marriage you are gonna make us meet your- what was his name- Rohan
Ana- Rahul
Moon- Whatever. Make us meet him. I don’t want to see any stranger marrying you.
Ragsy- Yes Ana. And Rhea your one is also invited.
Me- Oh in that case, Mere saiyan ji se AAJ maine breakup kr lia (I broke up with my boyfriend today)
Ashu- Humko bin btae tune ye kb kr lia? (When did you do this without informing us?)
Moon- You said it was going nice.
Ana- That party drama?
Everyone- What party drama?
Me- Sandy tell them about the party drama.

When I said it was an as usual day, it was. There was no fight, no crying. Though I could have but I didn’t do any of these. Deepak was a nice guy. But I didn’t even have any like-feelings for him. And when you ask me why was I with him, I will tell you this- As a teenager, I always tried to find true love. The one who is made for me. Then one day, something shifted inside me. I was 18 at that time. And 9 years passed, and I’ve been in a few relationships. And without any feelings, I made love, and without any issues from my side, each one broke up. But i never felt anything except ‘he was a good friend’. And I went back to my routine.

Sandy- So this was the drama.
Honey- Basically, he still had feelings for his ex.
Sanky- And his ex turned up drunk in that party and said she also likes him.
Ashu- And when you asked him to tell her that he does not like her anymore…
Me- He told me that he still has feelings for her. Yeah.
Moon- And then that son of a b*t*h said he wants to be with both of you.
Me- No he didn’t…..
Ana- What the hell does he think he is? Christian Grey?
Ragsy- Men are the worst.
Sanky- Whoa whoa whoa.
Me- Wait. I am not the topic of today’s chat. What so you want that we all attend your marriage in orchestra dress?
Ragsy- Well about that. The theme is. Sanky?
Sanky- Pink!

And the both held up cards saying WE’RE SORRY MOON.

Moon gave I-am-so-disappointed-that-I-don’t-even-have-words-to-explain-my-disappointment look.

Moon hates pink.
