Breaking Bad!

Chapter 7
Breaking Bad!
The sunday morning sun was visible from my window and I was feeling the guilt that I slept over her call. I didn’t knew how important that was. How helpless she was. I was Shocked and trembled inside. Out of any clue what was happening? Out of a clue how would she be feeling right now! I cannot imagine our Iron girl crying. yet she was, bcoz she does have a heart. I was unaware so brittle it was, broken bad, Broken by the person she loved the most. From the person she gave away her best friend for! Yet there he was for her where I couldn’t get enough of my sleep.

Who’s he?’ Asked kesha.

“Jaimin, He called me. He made me feel the guilt i’m drowned in right now! so I asked you to come.” I said.

“What do you want me to do?” Kesha asked.

“I don’t know. help me! or atleast her. She has this bad tendency to stay away from those bitchy girls and that really makes her so alone and helpless! So I called you as you’re only the female friend she trusts.”

“Omg! I have never seen her so weak” Said kesha sighing as she stood up to go to her.

“Neither have I” I said.

I was feeling very bad! She was there for me every time I needed her and I just couldn’t pick her call! Her mom knocked the door. She wiped her tears and asked jaimin to open it. Her mom was there with some home-made snacks. She put them on the table and left. Oh, she had no idea what her daughter was going through. What mattered if she knew?

I tried to start the conversation and I was about to say ‘I’m sorry taral!' when Taral looked at me and started crying again as all of her emotions overflowed her as kesha asked her something that I think reminded her of what I just did! I quickly closed the door and kesha unaware of what happened stared me with a oblivious face! On the other side of the room, jaimin was sitting watching everything like a dumbo but he was there for her and I was a Douche!

“What Happened this morning?” kesha asked me with a loud voice that shivered me through my spines.

“I was deep asleep in my bed when I woke up to my Phone’s Ring and as I glanced on the phone with one eye, Hardly visible font spelled taral. Sleeping on a sunday morning, I was not in a mood to attain any call and I choose to ignore it Having no idea what it might be that she was calling on a sunday morning. I slept through it. I opened my damn eyes a hour later to another call. It was jaimin and with half-asleep voice, I said, “ Hi!”!


“Hi!!” He screamed
“Do you have any Idea how many times taral has called you!” he said.
“I don’t know I was sleeping..wait, how do you know that?” I asked in amazement.
“because when you didn’t took her calls, she choose to call me!”
“wow! when did you both left your ego on side and became friends again?”
“Do you have any ideas what’s happening here? She called ME! she was crying and she had no one to talk to! ” He said angrily.
“Wait, Crying! Taral’s crying? what for?” I asked in a shocking voice.
“Dixit broke up with her. She’s not telling me why but it seems they had some issues. You know i’m not so good at holding people and you’re! You know what was going on in her life and you better come here in 30 minutes!”
“I can’t believe that! I don’t think they had any issues. we went to a movie 3 days ago and they were definitely so happy together.”
“I don’t know! I can’t see her like this. you come here now!”
“I’ll be there soon.” I said and came here as fast as I could.


'Who is this guy again?' she asked.
'He's jaimin. Taral's best friend and mine too.' I said
'Why don’t I know about him?' kesha asked.
'Taral never told anything about her.' she added.
'they were not talking to each other since 6 months! I'm confused too..
' Ohhh! I don’t know what's happening here but i'm so damn sure that's why I don't fall in a stupid relationship!' kesha said
'Was that sentence anywhere pointing me?' I asked
' i don't know,maybe!' She said.
' kesha, that boy left taral for I don’t know what! When i said i loved you, i meant i'll love you forever! I'm not some asshole who's in search of his first girlfriend just bcoz he hasn't had any!' i said a little aggressively.
' why are you getting so mad. I didn't meant any of that. And yes if you're bringing this up, aren’t you trying to get a girlfriend coz you haven’t had any!, Kesha furiously said.
' No, that's what i'm saying! I haven't felt anything for anyone like i feel for you. '
'And i don't want to feel about anyone i see taral feeling right now' she interrupted.
You think i'll do that?'
‘No i think complications will make you do that! I mean If you'd be in a relation with someone. You know what karthik, i've seen enough to end in a relation with anyone including you. Please take my advice. Don't love me. Find someone your type. I'm sorry to be rude but i'll never love you!'

She went into silence. She knew she said enough. But why has everything to end up in sadness for me. Two days before she was holding my hand, excusing that she was intending to get some popcorn! Was she really? I mean was it all in my mind? Does she really never thought of ‘us’ a single time! Everything was going so good! Why does it has to end like this!
I gathered all my courage and got to taral and sat beside her!
“I’m sorry!” I said with a little courage lost with every word.
“Why? It’s not a big deal!” Taral said
“I Never thought you’ll call me for a situation so tense! I never thought you would go this emotional! ”
“Not your fault, Right? All was mine. I fooled myself thinking you would be the most affected person! I imagined you care to fucking pick my call!” she screamed in anger as she lost her mind!
“I’m sorry yaar! How would have I possibly thought that Someone in this damn world could have broke YOUR heart!” I screamed back.
“Why? Don’t I have a heart? am I not a human? Can’t I feel Fucking terrible when i’m in love with someone and he fucking kisses someone else in front of my god forsaken Eyes!!!” She shouted and ended in tears as she smashed her hand on the floor. Kesha tried to interrupt but something stopped her.

“What? He kissed someone else? Who?” I asked.
(Crying) “ Mana...Manali!”
“Who Manali? Wait! His EX?”
“YES!”
“Wait, Wait, Wait! you told they broke up because She cheated on her and she was a fucking bitch and he couldn’t see her everyday so he changed the school!” Jaimin said interrupting now!
“Yes! I lied! He left her for me! He told me once but I never thought that he would do same to me!” she said.
“What! Are you freaking Mad? ” Jaimin asked with a what the fuck look on his face.
“I was in Love!” and she started crying again.
This time kesha hadn't stopped for anyone’s approval and hugged her as Taral cried her soul out! This was the most emotional scene in taral’s life and that day she found her Best female friend long after we all were in kindergarten!

I don’t like to accept this but I think I cried back that moment when I saw them hug like they were those twin sisters who grew up together for last 17 years! I went out in the balcony with jaimin with a smile on my face!

What’s wrong?’ I asked jaimin.
‘ I had told her that boy wasn’t correct for her and she fought with me for that cheater and What happened? He did the same, didn’t he? And she! She lied to me for him! This really saddens me yaar!’ He sighed.
“I know but she was in love, man! I can understand it and Let’s..Let’s get over this, Dude! On the positive side, You both are friends again! Isn’t that great!”
“Yeah, I guess.” he said with a Dull expression on his face!

(Oh God!) my mind said when I saw his face! Was he jealous? Was he Seeing taral the way I was kesha? Oh God It seemed so, If he was, he would obviously tell me before he would tell her, right? Of course he would...
