Animesh's pov
Tring... Tring... Tring... Tring... Tring...
The nonstop ringing of the alarm broke my sleep. I woke up holding my head. It was paining a lot. I sat on the bed crossing my leg and pressed my head trying to ease my pain. But nothing eased the pain.
"Ahh.... My head will be bursted into pieces in this manner. Why I am feeling this much pain!" I said to myself, not expecting a reply, until the walls decided to break their vows of silence.
"Maybe due to the effect of the amount of alcohol you consumed yesterday." I looked up to find the idiotic best friend of mine. Again he came inside my room without knocking.
"Don't you have the basic manner to knock before entering inside someone's room?" I said with irritation in my voice. But this guy here had no shame. He always had his own reply to irritate me more.
"Come on Ani! There is no need of rules in between lovers. Don't you know everything is fair in love and war." He said dramatically showing his third grade acting skills.
"Exactly, everything is fair in love and WAR." I said while throwing the pillow from my side and it directly hit the target, I meant It straightly landed upon the face of Abhimanyu Singh Rathore.
"Now please, stop your drama here only. I couldn't take it anymore. My head is severely paining. And why in the earth I couldn't remember anything about yesterday's night!" I spoke looking at his opened mouth as I was cent percent sure that he would utter one more nonsense speech from his brain which lacks sense.
He closed his mouth and again opened it as if a fish. I wanted to laugh looking at his face but the headache didn't allow me. I again pressed my head and dipped my face into the pillow.
"Wow!" He said and clapped showing his drama skills. "Oh Lord! Where are you? Are you seeing this cruel creation of yours and his cruelty. Here I am the most innocent soul, who wanted to help him and he was giving me speech by calling me names." I couldn't tolerate his drama any more.
"Abhi! Please Yaar, I am really having a severe headache. At least spare me now for the sake of humanity although you are not even a human."
"Yeah how can I be a human when I befriended with a giraffe! Now wake up and drink this special lemonade prepared by the great chef Abhimanyu Singh Rathore. It will heal your pain." I immediately grabbed the glass from his hand and drank it as the pain was really unbearable for me. After sometimes the pain reduced and I remembered things slowly slowly till I dosed off in Kiara's arm.
But I couldn't remember what had happened further. Did she take advantage of me? I forced my memory to remember about the happenings. But it was blank as if someone purposefully erased about yesterday night from my memory. But if I lost my self at the party, then who brought me here. It must be Abhi. If he rescued me then he must have known about everything. I looked at him with a lot of questions in my mind.
"I know you have a lot of questions inside your head. But first freshen up and then come downstairs. Then we will talk." He patted my back and left the room.
I smiled at his maturity. He may be irritating and annoying most of the times, but for me he was my best friend who can go to any extent to save me.
I completed my daily chores and went inside the washroom. I chose a white shirt and denim jeans to wear today. After setting my hair in a perfect manner, I came to dining hall. Abhi was already there waiting for me.
I watched him sitting like a king on the couch facing his back towards me. From his sitting posture, I sensed the seriousness of the situation. I reached near him and was going to pat his back when he raised his hands in the upwards direction and pressed the button of the remote which he was holding.
I looked back to see the video which was started to play. It was a CCTV footage of yesterday's event. I was confused but I silently watched the whole video as I know that Abhi had his own reasons for playing the video. Soon the scene came where that bastard moved his step towards my Janu's direction.
"No.. I can't control myself watching this scene again. I would break the screen only." I thought while fisting my hand when suddenly the video was forwarded till Janu ran away from the party. I looked back to found Abhi's gaze fixed on the screen.
"I know you more than you know about yourself. Don't you dare to hurt yourself by breaking the screen. Watch the full video patiently." He said and moved inside the kitchen.
While I watched the video, this time more keenly. With each passing scene, every seconds of yesterday night revealed to me which I thought I could never remember.
I watched the whole video standing on the same posture. Even I didn't realise when the video ended. I came back to my sense when Abhi patted my head. I immediately hugged him.
"I can't find words to thank you buddy. You saved me from that witch. Thanks a lot." I was really feeling emotional today.
"Hey Ani baby! How could I allow someone else to take my love away?" He said playfully to ease my attention and I laughed at his silliness.
"I am serious Abhi. Both of us are very well aware about the evilness of Randhawas. God knows now what is cooking inside their head? Haven't they had enough fun playing with innocent lives 6 years back? Why again they were playing these sick games now?" I recalled those horrible memories and looked at Abhi's stiffened figure. I knew he also remembered the bitter past.
"I don't know Ani. I really don't know that what they want now. But this time we were not some naive kids to be their prey. If they will try to even lay their eyes on our loved ones, then we will rip their body apart." We looked at each other promising to over come all the obstacles together.
"By the way for now you don't worry. Just focus on your love story. After all I sacrificed my childhood love for the sake of your love only." He again started his drama while I sighed and sit on the bean bag holding my head.
"Every thing ended before the start only Abhi. She left without answering me." I said sadly. While tears were threatened to flow but I controlled myself. No matter what happens, I couldn't cry. It was her decision to accept or reject my proposal. My tears might harm her in future.
"If she left without any answer, then how do you know that she don't like you?" Abhi asked as if he found the keys to a mystery door. Once a i***t will always be a i***t.
"Isn't it obvious that she left me without any answer because she didn't want to accept my relation." I said sarcastically. I hope this will put some brain inside this i***t's head.
"Yeah! You are right. Maybe she was not ready to accept the relation at that moment, but it doesn't mean that she rejected your proposal." I looked shocked at his words. Actually he was right. Though she didn't accept my proposal, she didn't reject it yet.
"But if she need time then she could tell me there only. She left the venue and I noticed tears in her eyes." I said to myself forgetting about Abhi's existence in the same room.
"And you call me an i***t when you have no brain to think." He reminded me about his presence in the room sarcastically.
"My brain works perfectly unlike you." I mocked him.
"Yeah, your brain works more perfectly than mine and too much perfect brain is injurious to heart." He said showing his thirty two teeth.
"Stop showing your teeth idiot." I said in a pissed off voice.
"Hey these are not some ordinary teeth, these are pearls, my precious pearls. Show some respect to them." He said while caressing his teeth.
"I won't mind to break these precious pearls of yours by my punch." I said while caressing my knuckles.
"Ohh my dear! For now you ask your heart about your problem. We will talk later about my teeth." He said and I nodded my head and tried to recall all those incidents that occur from the beginning. Abhi moved inside to pack our stuffs as we have to go to college.
I started to think about everything from a calm mind. Still I didn't get that why she avoided to answer my simple question. At least she could tell me that she need time to think before accepting my proposal. Thinking about all this, I became more and more confused. But I knew from where I will get the answer of all my questions.
"Abhi! I am going to college taking my car, bye." I shouted from the living room and came outside.
"But we still have a lot of time for our lecture. Why are you going this early?" Even he shouted from inside. Huh! Copy cat. I ignored his words and ran outside before he will further enquiry me.
