Love Me Not! (Part 6)

My heart ached when Suhas called me up the next morning. “I crawled in my bed and hunted for my cell phone. I could see empty bottles of Vodka. My head felt dizzy and heavy! I took an oath for the 8^th time. I need to quit it. I declared trying to find my cell phone.

“Hey baby! Wassup Princess? “

“Ummm sleepy. Headache.” I said trying to think how I will clean this mess. Where am I going to throw these bottles?

“I love you baby!” he said in a confident tone. He did sound very confident. It seemed very unusual.

“What’s wrong with you?” I questioned with no worries. I often spoke like that to him.

“Is this the way you talk to your boyfriend? “He questioned, now his voice seemed very firm.

Okay. So I was officially his girlfriend because I had um let’s call it like, umm I had shared some intimate virtual time with him.

“Look Suhas, I was drunk, I was vulnerable. You know how tense I was. I love Raghav. Yesterday was a mistake. I admit a terrible one. I don’t love you that way. I was mad. I had lost it. Please forget it dear…”

“You broke up with Raghav. If not, tell him today. I can give you two days of time. You don’t deserve him at all. I love you a lot.”

He seemed very determined to get me separated. I don’t advocate I was right. It was a mistake, but never knew I will have to pay so severely for another year.

“I wish to hear no more excuses. I knew you might deny the love. I have your naughty secrets recorded. End up with Raghav, else I can anyway make him forget you. That will be terrible. I swear! I know him so well after hearing so much about him. He would definitely not forgive you for this.”  He laughed. In the beginning, it was a chuckle. Then, it turned into a roar!

I knew it. I was caught in his trap. I wondered if I had put up a good teaser forth him. Man! I pumped my fist in the air and collected the bottles and swinged it directly from the balcony. It landed with a thud in the drainage. An old woman came running out of her home.

She looked at me and cursed, “This girl drinks like a man! She threw the bottles again!”

I locked the door and wondered if I had any such choice to swing Suhas out of my life that way.

I got a message from him. “Princess, tell your bad ass Raghav that you have me now. Break it up with him.”

I replied him, “Shut the fuck up dude! You know I love him.”

In next two minutes, I could see a drunk girl peeping into the camera and crying.. Taking off her clothes in the name of connecting with the nature. How could I be so foolish? I wondered. I looked not a bit sexy taking off my clothes. I looked more like a hypnotized kid who followed every word the magician had uttered. I cursed the alcohol. How foolish of me to undress I in order to bloody connect with the nature! It made no sense. I did nothing. I spoke to him about Raghav all the while. There was no mention about me breaking up with him.

The story still concludes with me being a stupid ass that had an Mms registered on its name. It looked more like a funny video.  Raghav would definitely kick me out of his life. There lay my fav hand bag, my dresses were piled up behind me. Raghav knew my room very well. I couldn’t even say it was a fake video. I was trapped with psycho Suhas.

I got ready to the college. I had occasional glances at my English Professor. Cursed myself for not worrying enough about the situation I have put myself into.

“I am visiting you next week darling. I will stay with you for a week. Make arrangements for the leave. You will show me your city. Lots of love, Suhas.”

I replied, “No, I can’t take such long leave. Sorry!”

“Baby can’t take long leave? If your naughty secrets are seen by your lecturers, they would definitely grant you a very long vacations darling!” He laughed with a roar which definitely didn’t suit his teddy bear like innocent face.

“Listen I am sorry. I love you. Please don’t force me to be the bad man that I am not! Please break up with him.” he said in a calm tone.

“I can’t do that! You can’t blackmail me like this Suhas.”

“Don’t advise me on that. Make the arrangements for my stay. You will be with me for a week.” He declared and cut the call!

The day got dragged somehow at the college. Raghav called me up in the evening, talking normally. “I have one more year to complete my studies. Then, I will be yours.”

“Really?” I questioned with shock as well as happiness.

“Let’s see how things work. Destiny you see.” He said brushing the topic as usual. A part of me wished to tell him about the situation I was in to. A part of me just didn’t care. I spoke normally and cut the call.

“Hello, is this Sapna Lodge?”

“Yes ma’am... How can I  ...” I cut her in the mid-sentence and booked a room for two.

I was digging my own grave.

I light up the cigarette and try to calm down my nerves. “Move with the bloody flow!” I try to console myself.
