Miserable Jealousy:
So, everything is prepared and I am ready sitting in my room, and chewing my lips when Payal called me and said she can't come to my place. She have to baby sit her brother as her mother have to work, so, in short I feel my Sister ditched me, as I know she is more than my friend, she is more that's it. I am already nervous and you guys are sticking behind her, uff...* It's been a week when I fought with him for some ridicules reason and with my idioticy couldn't able to call him either. And now I am sure he will come to this party which my mom throw for some reason, she told me but I was not concentrating, coz as soon as she said party I knew Arnav will come and I was planning how to talk to him, or tell him how Sorry I am.. So right now I am sitting on the edge of my bed and chewing my perfect manicure nails, my glossy lips and I don't know what I am about to do, and if someone will ask me about the theme of the party how will I reply, hey, shouldn't they already know? Hmm.. But maybe people are like me exist right, so, they even not concentrating and don't know the theme and they will ask me, how will I reply. Urrghh.. I puff my hair in the air, and got up to face the music.
Khushi, come sweetheart: my mom boom form downstairs, I know now I have to go, as she has already boomed the hall twice before.
Coming Mom: I shouted, and with heavy heart I descended the stairs. Stay calm, Khushi, handle everything like an adult, I chanted to myself. But, it was not easy, to say sorry, when you know you were wrong is embarrassing, and I don't want to be embarrass in front of him, at least; NOT AGAIN AND AGAIN. Before I can reach the bottom, with just one look I wanted to bolt around and hide in my closet, why didn't it occurred to me, my mom was wearing the same dress as mine, Damn she. If I will go down, we both will freaking look like a sister, I cursed and move backward to the stairs as silently as I can, but my mom saw me, she frown, but I smile nervously, what now, I moved down, with the same 24 clock smile. Why she don't understand that she is not young, and that peach colour doesn't suit her, she is older than me, and I am young one out here, why she have to look like my sister every time.. (By the way I will never confess that but she is looking smoking hot in that dress, more beautiful than me, with the complete perfect curves in their place, after all she is my mother.. hehe)
We look same, isn't it? She asked.
I wanted to say, freaking twins, but instead I said: Of course, with the same 24hour smile. (Colgate wali)
I step down and waited again, he was nowhere to been seen, maybe he is not coming at all, I sigh. I moved around to meet people, and with my still little luck no one asked me about the theme of the party, maybe I am the only one piece in this world, as much as it appeased me, I was hurt too... it mean I am the only fool all around the world. Urghh.. Okay Khushi concentrate. I chanted.
The doorbell ring after an hour, and before I knew my feet was running for the door, I wanted to stop my feet, but it was on its own cord, but I guess that butler was more faster than me, and then my mom, I am sure it is non-other than Arnav. But still, I want to check myself, and indeed it was HE only. And damn if I start drooling, he is as handsome as ever, and looking as was about to kill with only his smile, I peck from behind my mom over her shoulder, and urghh.. Why she also hug her like this. MOM HE IS MINE. I wanted to shout but I didn't as he look toward me directly from her shoulder, it was not the reason I couldn't speak, the reason was behind him, a CHICK.. Holy Shit he is indeed a JERK. He already moved on or what?? she came from behind his back and my mom hug her too, as they both are lost friends (did I ever mentioned before? my mom loves girls, especially, if she looks like her, tall, lean, nice build, not so curvy or slim, but cubby type, who's chick you can pull and sing, like in adds choo'chi woo'chi coo coo type, all in good places and have a nice polite smile) she fall from these kind of girls immediately.
When my mom left her, she immediately turns toward me, with her beautiful light brown eyes, and with the same polite but bitchy smile, like she was telling me, GAL; I HAD YOUR CANNDY.. Seriously. What does he think bringing her little girlfriend over here? What he wants to prove? Is he shoving her on my face, like see I have.. urgghhh.. I tried to put a polite smile on my face but I felt I failed miserable, as the small smile on Arnav face, and before I can ask him anything, he move down on her and murmur something in her ear, which cause her eyes to go big to bigger, but she compose immediately.
Khushi are you listening? My mom broke the trance of mine, I suddenly looked toward her, on which she rise her perfect trimmed eyebrows and narrowed her eyes.
Khushi: the Jerk said, meet Sheetal my friend. He said with the knowing smile on his face, Sheetal she is Khushi, my... He said while giving a small gesture toward me.
My mom fill the blank for us: Sister.. she boomed on which i felt Arnav jaw clenched hard, but his smile never left his face. Sister I thought again.. Is thsi what we both are of each other?
Khushi! So good to finally meet you: she chimed and hugged me instant, I have heard so much about you. She said and moved back to Arnav, on which he secure his hand on her waist.
If you asked me what happened to me, I will said, my mind became as cold as ice, and my mind blow with the ferocity of heat, and so my hard plaster smile, I was sure the smoke has radiated from my body, (from ears, nose, mouth, even all those parts of my body, which sure I am not including at all) coz as soon as his eyes met my, he withdraw his hand from her waist and secure it in his pocket, if the situation was different and I was not on the receiving side, I would have laugh, but not now. And second I was sure that I produce some smoke as my mom elbow me hard so I can break my stares, she apologize for I don't know what reason, and drag that Sheetal and that holy jerk to the hall. Now as they all are out of my sight, I wanted to shout, kick, scream and pull my hair at the same time, so first thing first, I kicked in the air, thinking as he was bend down half and his ass was in full view to me, but rather than ogling over it, I kicked it pretty hard, so hard that he drop over his face, then I pull him up by his collar and scream in his ears, so loud that his ears started to bleed, and that was not enough, I pull that bitchy Sheetal from behind the door, and pulled her hair like anything, and again I screamed on my lungs. As I was happy for doing all those things to them, but as soon as I looked up, that big dark black eyes were staring at me, and then I wanted to scream in terror, but suddenly they looked down and went away, I looked around myself and then I realize it was all in my thoughts, those kicks and all that things. So picturing all those thing should have soothes me, but it give me another effect, I was more angry than before.
I went to the hall, with a convince smile I felt, but as I saw my mom, she narrowed her eyes, which was the reason I felt it was not so convenience then I thought, but she should also understand, We just had 1 fight, and he bought some chick to place, to mock me, is it fair? So, I spread my smile more and my mother narrowed her eyes more, if someone will see her right now they will assume that she is already slept, but I know better... I looked around for some escape so my mom stop putting her motherly senses hole in my head, and believe me; with all this I can't handle one big hole in my head. I turned around to find some escape and my gaze landed on Biggest Jerk and His So called Friend, and Girl included. I start fuming again, but soon I realise they don't care at all; so my brain stop fuming and started to make a plan, A plan which will make him jealous and fume in anger rather than me. When he will be on receiving side, he will know how it feels, so for that I need a cute boy, who will be interested in me, more than HIM.
My devil rubbed his hand in glee: Mr. Raizada you are gone. My devil stepped up and danced in victory
And maybe Arnav realise I called his name so he turned around with the same dazzling smile, I smiled back toward him, but soon it disappear and he narrowed his eyes like my Mother as they can see through me completely, he narrow his eyes more, so many wrinkles appear on his forehead but before he can figure out anything I turned around and stared my hunt to find that mystery boy who will make Arnav Raizada Jealous. My devil smiled again.
It's been dinner time and with my miserable luck, I am still alone, and my plan to find Mr. perfect to make my Mr. perfect jealous is out of the window, even I tried to seduce one or two, but there date snatch them before they can say any word to me, and they eye me like I am a big time s**t and trying to take there Mr. Right from them. Urgh... even one youg man asked me my name, and I smile to him, like I got what I wanted, But it was way too small, a girl came by his side and with a nice smile asked me.
Any problem? ( so I tell you the smile, a smile which is good if a boy see it, but for girls it is kind of secret warning, like she was screaming KEEP YOUR DISTANCE FROM MY GUY... HE IS MINE type of scream) I just nodded and turn around, I wanted to die now.. please kill me someone.
I sat on the dinner table and in front of me Arnav and Sheetal took their seats, they both look happy looking couple, like they still have tons to talk about, like Guttar Goo type.. urgh, I wanted to throw these cheese salad on them. I wish I could. And again Arnav looked toward me, eye to eye, like he knew I was thinking something about him, he looked toward me and then the salad bowl which is in front of me and give me his crookey smile. Damn did I said that aloud, I looked around to see if someone else has even heard my word but everyone is busy occupying there seat and talking to each other, I looked back toward Arnav who was now looking at me like he knows my secret, but that investigation stopped when someone tab on his shoulder and he turned around to look to the source, I inhale a long breathe to calm my nervous but it stayed just for a second as my eyes got locked with Sheetal, she was looking at me so curiously like I am some meal she can eat, she showed me her perfect lined teeth and I wished I could break them all, but as a good host I passed her my perfect teethes too, okay not perfect but whole and white teeth's, as I know from center to left third tooth of mine is little back forth, but it never concerned me before than right now I am feeling, how can a person have such a great row of tooth's, of course a high profile dentist work; Right? As I smile toward her smile got more bigger than before like she got the invitation to eat me alive from ME only.. I again look here and there to find some exist as I was sure she is some cannibal and she wants me for her meal. I move uncomfortable on my chair and I was about to bolt out my mom patted my shoulder from behind and move toward her husband and sit beside her, but before she sat, she narrowed her eyes toward me in complete warring that if I did any anything impropriate I will see her wrath. So I sat back on my chair looking everywhere but to Sheetal.
But as I was wondering what to do and with even sitting in front of Arnav he was ignoring me and chatting with the Cannibal Sheetal, and then the realization hit me, if she is cannibal and if Arnav doesn't know it then may be after all the feast he will take her to his place and till morning she will eat him piece by piece , eyes, nose, ears, hands. Damn.. but before I can even shout I heard a voice.
Are you okay?
I looked around and found a cute black headed boy is sitting beside me, but before I replied I looked him curiously, black hair, brown eyes, just like Arnav, small face boyish type, of course not like Arnav, he have chubby cheeks, again not like Arnav, but its suits him, just like Arnav.
Are you okay? He asked again
Yes I am.. I replied with the best smile I can give him, and my plan of Almost Mr right in front of My Mr right is on the go, I can't even believe God throw him in front of me, when I felt my misery won't end so soon.. Yupiee.. My devil danced in my head with glee and mischievous in her eyes.
I turned around to face the lovely couple in front of me, but to my surprise Arnav was looking toward that boy then me or Sheetal, I wanted to laugh but I couldn't its mean if I even smile to someone he will get irritate, the why not I have some fun I thought and some mysterious energy came in me, which was telling me to have little fun. Sure why not, I told that power and my mission starts with that.
Of course I am fine: I said to him on which he smiled back, I turned around again to concentrate on my meal which was not looking tempted at all, as I am sure one pair was staring at me and boring a hole in my head and one pair is doing the same to my cheeks and I felt the third pair too, Third one, who can he be? I wonder and without any thought I looked toward Sheetal who was indeed the third pair, her smile was same broad one, like her lips are stretch from both ends and forcing her to smile, but on her face that smile look genuine, and then I notice her plate was untouched except the salad, it means she is looking to me and she wants to eat me, the horror strike me hard and before I can start chewing my nails in front of everyone, I felt a hand on my thigh. It was warm but not tingly warm, it was like sweaty warm. Urghhh SWAET..
I looked by my side and found the same boy his brows have wrinkles now as I turned toward him he again asked: Are you really okay? You look pale.
I self-consciously touched my cheeks, do I look pale, seriously: no...! I am fine, I told him, but even after my answer he didn't remove his hand, I look toward his hand and my thigh, and he follow my gaze and like immediately he remove his hand.
Sorry: he muttered.
What is your name: I asked without even thinking.
His smile got broad when he replied and I saw from the side view that Arnav clutches his water glass slightly harder than necessary, I notice because I was noticing him from t time he came to my house with is So-Called-Friend... Cannibal-Friend.
We chatted the whole time his name is Arohit, he is a student just like me, and just like me, he love to read romantic stories, well boys doesn't like romantic stuff, but to my surprise he knows the lines and even he talk about his thoughts what could be story can be, which such a slight change, it was so interesting to talk to him that I even didn't realise that the dinner is almost complete. Many time he put his hand on my thigh as same as before and many time I politely removed it too, other than that he was nice boy.
To my surprise when we all are having desert he asked me something which had chocked me up.
Khushi after a month we are having a dance party, will you come with me? He asked so innocently that I had said yes before thinking, but the hard cough stop me before replying. As I turned around, Arnav was coughing hard and Sheetal was patting her manicure hand and rubbing too on his back, but his eyes were lock on me, and I am sure he had heard what he asked me, Sheetal give him the water which he took without breaking his gaze.
Arohit here you are my boy: one old lady about the size of small Dina-sore or at least weigh about a small country, if some exist or to say hippopotamus type, come to our side and kiss on top of his head, on which he made a face, of course, we all know our parents love us, but to kiss like this on our head in front of so many people it is king of over loving.
Arnav my boy, she again said in her beaming voice, flatting herself on the table to grab his hand which could be said a polite gesture if she was not crushing half me and forcing my body to meet the table in not so nice way, Arnav looked to me from aside and got up from his chair, or I guess something like that, because she is almost off me and I got a space to breathe again, I looked toward Arohit, whose eyes was shut like he was praying to end this all thing soon enough, but his mother was not in hurry to end up things. I heard Arnav politely answer her all question and I was sure on certain point he too wanted to end this conversation, and till then I saw my ice-cream melting into milk and making a way up to Arohit mother's dupatta. I think on something I feel satisfied.
Mom you wanted to say something to me? Arohit finally asked, bringing her mom back to him on which I am sure I heard a small sigh from Arnav side, as I am not sure, as it is way too noisy out here.
Yeah my boy: her voice boom again. Yes!! I was finding you, I got a date for you, for your dance. She said, her smile was so broad that I felt within a second it will fall apart like a mosaic.
But mom, thanks I already have one: he said while giving me an apology smile, I want to smile back, but the thing is I never answer him, Not even yes nor No..
Her smile vanished away like in a second as it was never there: who is she? She asked her voice was like a thunder, I saw Arohit to change his footing while he just extended his hand toward me.
She turned around and looked at me from up to down and not to forget with some hard gaze, which was way too uncomfortable for me, and before I can even say hello, she laugh out loud.
You poor boy, you don't go with a girl who is elder than you, no offence: she said like its not a big deal, and clearly she was not even bother if i am hurt, Arohit cheeks turn pink as mine too, I suddenly look ahead of me, and found sheetal looking at Mrs. Hippopotamus with her mouth hanging open and Arnav was, ummm.. like... I don't know... Like he was crying... or... is he trying not to laugh... or because of his earlier cough.. I mean., he have this strange expression which was like he is in some very intense pain, his eyes were watery and his hand is fisted in his mouth, I saw sheetal elbow him in the rib and then I knew he was trying not to laugh on me.
I am so sorry: I heard someone told me, as I looked around Arohit was seated on his chair, his whole body is toward me. It was really rude, she sometime doesn't know how to talk, you know. With that his again put his hand on my thigh, and I was sure, I will ripe it off from his body, This all Jealous thing was getting on my nerves, what the hell just happened.. it was so humiliating.. Please someone kill me. But before that I wanted that sweaty hands off of me, and again before can protest, Arnav cleared his throat and push himself on the table, not like Mrs. Hippopotamus had done, but like a gentle way and with a hard look, I don't know how to describe it, anger and frustrated both I guess.
But his voice was so cold I felt the chill all over me: One more time if you have touched her, I swear I will rip that hand off of you and feed you the same. He hisses and took his seat like nothing happen, like he had not threatening the boy to death.
For a second I didn't move and when I did I saw Arohit, he was so red I felt tomato can be little less than him, then he looked toward me, and then back to Arnav, who was looking just to him, I saw him take the glass of water and gulp it down in one shot.
I am sorry I can't take you to dance: he said in such a small voice I felt it belongs to chikpic. I felt the heat rose back to my cheeks, and I wonder how can some get humiliated two times within 5 minutes. Without even saying a word I turned around to the ice-cream who is now completely melted, but still I picked up the spoon and tried to eat the milk which is reaming and as I was about to put it in my mouth I remember Mrs. Hippopotamus duppatta was floating in the same ice cream, so I put that spoon back, as soon as I did that the new scoop came in front of me, I looked up may be Arnav have done it, but to my surprise it was Sheetal, and she was smiling to me like it is not a big deal.
My Miserable Miserable Jealousy... I sigh while taking a full spoon of Kiwi Ice-cream and if sheetal have mixed some magical portions which change me in to kitten, as like Harmony changed herself in kitten in Harry potter by mistake, big round hairy head, I wouldn't have minded.
