“Wasn’t it awesome? …Amitabh’s parties are always grand.
I saw you giggling, laughing loud with all the ladies!!” Aaraj started the conversation, sitting on
the car.
“Yep, not bad…! I too saw you dancing with your
college buddy…..you were quite intimate, huh? Once upon a time….” Montana’s
straight answer.
“Of course! We all have met after so long years…”
“I am talking about…..Ranjana…”
“O’ yaa… she was a good friend of mine. She helped
me a lot in study…”
“You used to study together?
“Yes, sometimes…”
“She used to come to your room…”
“Yes, many times….”
Montana put her feet on the ‘break’…….the car
stopped with a harsh hiss sound…
“How close you were? Tell me the truth….” Montana’s
big eyes attacked Aaraj strongly this time.
“What do you mean? She was my friend…not girl
friend…..Let’s move now, it’s almost 2 AM now……”
“You guys were in relationship?”
“No, Montana…”
“You were physically close enough…?”
Aaraj was quite drunk, so Montana was driving the
car. But, listening to Montana’s questions, intoxication was about to escape
from him….
Aaraj didn’t know what he should answer…..he was
silent…..He tried to count the stars in the sky, through the window. He could feel
Montana continuously staring at him, as if he just commanded “Statue!!!” to
her.
“Why are you
silent…….that means ‘Yes’, right???.......Why you deceived me?? Why you didn’t
tell me earlier???” Montana started crying loud…..
“No…No…No…..I didn’t have any kind of relationship
with Ranjana…” Aaraj now bursted.
“Can I drive the car…..I’m almost fine now….” Aaraj
proposed.
He got down from the car, went towards the driving
seat, and asked her to move to the next seat. He washed his face, poured some
water on his head and started driving, taking risk now.
Montana was still sobbing.
They reached home. Thank God! There was no police on
the way.
Montana directly went to the bed and kept
sobbing…..Aaraj had no other way than to console her and give one more
clarification.
“Darling, she was just my classmate, and we were
just friends, nothing else. I talked to her, danced with her as I met her after
so long time.”
“I saw you guys chatting on Whatsapp, recently. Why?
Why? Why you need other friends while I am there….I thought I am your wife cum
best friend. But, I was wrong.”
“O’….that means you look at my Whatsapp messages,
secretly???” This time Aaraj had a strong point.
“I have that right as your wife…”
“If you have read my conversation with her, then,
where is the doubt?”
“You guys talked lots about your college time….”
“So???? We studied together…and listen, I want to
confirm and reconfirm that ….you are and will be my only best friend…. Stop
this topic now. I don’t want to talk about that bullshit girl….have thousand
other important things to do in my life.” Saying that Aaraj gave her a bear
hug.
“…Let’s sleep now, I have continuous meetings from
11 am tomorrow till 8 pm. What’s your plan?”
“I will have to go for a client meeting tomorrow. I
don’t know what will I wear….” Montana now started thinking on a new topic….
In few minutes, she could hear Aaraj snoring.
Montana always envied his ability to fall sleep readily.
“Beep! Beep!”
Suddenly, Montana heard the Whatsapp beeps from Aaraj’s
mobile phone. It was about to be 3 AM. She could not stop her inquisitiveness and opened his Whatsapp
messages…..
“Awesomeness to meet you after such a long time….You’re
all the same – Dashing, Smart!!!….Felt like reviving our old golden days….. Let’s
catch up this week whenever you have time……. I am here till next week.
Love & Peace,
Ranjana”
Aaraj was peacefully sleeping, the poor guy didn’t
event dream what kinda morning was waiting for him!!!!!!
