What Not To Expect When Karma Is On To Fuck You
I was firm, solid and confident. It was a yes! How can somebody refuse the proposal of a so called lovely and handsome stud like me! Okay, I know What you’re thinking but I actually was good looking. specially after the jaundice 4 years ago, I lost too much weight and all human theory says, ‘Slimmer the Better’. But as a matter of fact, timing is the most important ingredient in the recipe of relationship. To make it right, Every morning I bought a red rose on my way to school. I was ready every day, every hour, every moment. Yet, it always rains when you don’t have an umbrella. I remember his face Fine. I was Late for school and as I passed from the flower shop, the man looked at me so amazed, He shouted, “No More?” And I passed a smile to him. My bag seemed empty without the everyday’s Pride though my books weighed no less than a motherfuckin’ Elephant! I was at basketball court practicing for the IST (Inter School Tournament). After long 2 hours of practice everyone was leaving. Lately when the court was clear as everyone left, I Took the ball, Shooting last shot for the day and at the same time, Taral Entered the court running. Taral Was a beautiful girl with a broad mind and was a witch in her words. she was one of the most wanted girls in our school. Involved in school’s every law breaking activities, we both had many things in common and enjoyed each other’s company a lot.
‘You gotta see this’ She said with her breath shortening
What?’ I asked in a shock!
She pulled my hand and Took me to the School’s Parking. Kesha was there shouting and abusing a guy. It was ashish, A freak but kesha was scaring the shit out of him and as we were almost there to stop her, the idiot tried to hold her hand. BAMMM!!! No Slap Hard as that I had ever seen. We ran to her and taral calmed her. she took her to the basketball court and we Sat there. Now what happened was clear. the guy was flirting with her and she didn’t like it..at all! Taral had her drink some water and now she was cool as an Air conditioner. Though taral wasn’t much of talker, she was discussing it with her and I was getting Bored. I mean what does a guy has to do in between two girls chatting! Nevertheless, I was listening and out of odds, kesha asked taral about the boy and as much I know taral, she acted as she was nervous and taral gets nervous only at one thing. Lying! I wondered why was she lying and what was in her mind but I better not get involved in it But what about taral told that boy to ask kesha just to see how she reacts. I mean she knows everyone in the class. Ahh!! Why am I thinking so much? Girls are really contagious! They were busy chatting 10 more minutes before kesha Left for Home.
‘you knew ashish was gonna do this?’ I asked taral.
‘The way he was asking me about her, I had an Idea.’
‘that why you were nervous when kesha brought him in your chat?’
‘I was not nervous, I was worried! you See, this will happen when you’ll ask her to be your girlfriend! She’s so damn Tempered’ taral said.
‘well, she didn’t reacted that much when I asked!’
Wait, what? you asked her? When?’ taral asked with a confused smile.
I didn’t ask her, I just told her. told her that I love her.’
SO ? what did she said?’
Ah, Nothing!’
Stupid! you need to ask her! GO!’
Now? I mean Right now? (looking at her face) No!! how do I propose without a Rose? It Looks so...Empty Handed! ‘Wait!’ she said and She quickly went to the tree near the basketball court and brought some flowers that were pinkish red and with her hair band, she made a perfect bouquet for me! I don’t know how to thank her for her incredible contribution in my life. No one has ever been so helpful as her. I quickly ran to the parking and saw kesha kicking her “never starting without kicks” scooty! I ran to her and before She could notice, I was On my knees and as she turned around.
Kesha! I know you might be thinking this is happening very fast and it’s not our age or we should wait before we take it further but I do feel that living without you is like watching 3D movie without 3D glasses! I Mean hey, will you be my gf?’
‘Karthik?!’
(Oh! She must be thinking why is everyone proposing in this parking lot.)
She took the flowers from my hand and gave a smile. I would have been the happiest person in the world if she was a mute but she was not! and her words were all different from what her smile said.
‘karthik! you’re very good but you’re my friend!
Friendzoned!! All I could here in my mind was it!
She FRIENDZONED me!!
She even said couple of things like we can be this and be happy and blah..blah..I can’t think much but just that and blah..blah..
Can’t we give it a try?’
I wish I would have told her but I acted as I was ok and I let her go. Sagar was right. she didn’t love me! what was I thinking! Why did I even Ask Her? How was I that stupid!
‘Hey, you Okay?’ taral asked in hesitation as she approached.
Yeah! well atleast she didn’t slapped me like ashish, right?
he he! but I can fulfill your wish!
(seeing me down she continued)
Oh come on! she’s not the only girl in the world, man! Don’t be that Emo! Let’s spill the beans over a coffee, my treat.’
Treat? Over my heart-break?’ I asked.
Treat! To Overcome it!’ she said bringing a smile on my face...:)
