Neeyat and Shreyas #Getting together [part- 8]

All day so lost in lost
Each and every moment every minute every day...
Just can't, can't get enough
wanna always be together never go away!

That's all I really wanna do..
That's all I really wanna do!!

It was 2nd April when I had the widest smile on my face. That day, all my worries just fell apart. Single thing was in my mind- "Shreyas."

As my morning alarm rang, I got up and rubbed my eyes. I went into washroom and started brushing my teeth. As I was watching myself in the mirror, I saw a different kind of gleam on my face. I smiled! I had a twinkle in my eyes. Yes! it was the first time I ever felt so special. And, it was the first time when I trusted someone that much. Apart from my mother and father there was also someone else about whom I was so concerned about- Shreyas. He was one of the most important person in my life.

All things around me were perfect. I was being loved. Stupid English songs on my Walkman were replaced by the Bollywood love songs. Every time something that reminded of him, came across, I would giggle. I would usually sing few lines of "I Love You" from "Bodyguard" and try myself to be in place of Salman Khan trying all those foot steps. I knew only one thing, that i was extremely happy. But, somewhere in my mind there was a fear. Fear about losing everything. Fear about losing that happiness. I owed this happiness to Shreyas. I never wanted to lose him as all my happiness belonged to me.

The moment I came out of the washroom, I saw my phone vibrating. It was shreyas.

"Hello?" I said

"Come online. I need to talk, low balance." Shreyas said frantically and ended the call. I had no idea about what Shreyas wanted to talk. So, I just logged in.

Neeyat- What?

Shreyas- Nothing! I am disturbed.

 Neeyat- Disturbed? For what? All okay?

Shreyas- Don't ask so many questions in one go. I want to meet you.

Neeyat- Oh okay! We'll see.

Shreyas- What you'll see? I want to meet you and that too tomorrow. I don't need any excuses. 

Neeyat- Okay! Just calm down first...

Shreyas- Hmm..

Neeyat- Listen! I have some event in the college. Being a starred student in the college, my 
              teachers want me to join the freshers at the gathering tomorrow and I have to go. So,
              I guess we won't be able to meet tomorrow.

Shreyas- What are you talking about? It's cool. We can meet outside your college.

Neeyat- No Shreyas. Have you gone mad? Mine is a girl's college and if any of the security guard
              spots you there, you'll get into a trouble.

Shreyas- OMG! You think a lot. Nothing of that sort will happen. You just come outside near the 
                green belt.

Neeyat- Hey! How do you know that my college has a green belt? 

Shreyas- Come on, every college has a green belt. You just be there at 4 in the evening tomorrow.

Neeyat- okay! See you then..

Shreyas- Bye! :)

Neeyat- Bye :)


I logged off the account. Thousands of thoughts pranged into my mind. I thought that Shreyas looked dashing and i had to look beautiful. At least i could try to, I thought and smiled. That day passed just like any other normal day. Thoughts about meeting Shreyas made butterflies fly in my stomach. I smiled the widest that day. "Is this a date?" I laughed at my own sarcasm. "OFFICIAL DATE OUTSIDE THE COLLEGE...haha!"

Neeyat and Shreyas #Stalking [part- 7 (b)]

"Neeyat?" I heard my mom calling me.

I suddenly woke up and hugged her tightly.

"What happened Neeyat? Are you fine? You slept for five hours. It's 10 pm now."

"Nothing mom. I was very tired," I said hiding my tears.

"Okay. Be there at the dinner table within fifteen minutes. I have made something good for you." She said and left my room.

I went to washroom and washed my face. I tried to look little calm and normal. As I came back, I heard my phone ringing. It was Shreyas.

"Hello Shreyas?" I said hoping him to help me.

"Neeyat? What happened? I saw your message on Facebook. I was quite worried about you."

"Shreyas, I am scared!"

"Tell me Neeyat."

I told him each and every detail of that day's incident. As I was telling him, my voice started to break. Tears started flowing from my eyes. 

"Neeyat please don't cry. You know how weak I become when I see you in pain. I am right here beside you. I will surely do something. Please don't cry. For me, be fine. Be happy!" he said consoling me.

"Shreyas, please help me."

"I will Barbie."

As he said this, everything around me paused. He said me "Barbie." A smile appeared on my face. It was for the first time that Shreyas called me so. It showed how much I meant to him.

"Give me that number," he said.

"Yeah, wait." I gave him the phone number.

"What's his name?"

"Vanshu"

"Okay. Now you need not worry. I am here and now you are safe. Did you have your dinner?"

"No, not till now. Mom is waiting."

"Go fast and have something otherwise you'll become weak. Take care of yourself and you need not worry. I am here."

"Thank you Shreyas."

"You need not!"

"Bye. Good night."

"Bye. Sweet dreams," he said and disconnected the phone. 

I was feeling light hearten then. I knew that Shreyas was there with me. I trusted him. I knew he would do something for me. I had my dinner and I slept peacefully.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Next morning I woke up totally fresh. I saw a message from Shreyas:

"Did you go to the mall yesterday and that too all alone?"

I replied:

"Yes I went alone but what happened? Why are you asking me this?"

As soon as I replied to his text, he called. I picked his call.

"Why did you go alone yesterday?" he shouted.

"What do you mean? I am not a baby. I can go anywhere I want to. Stop being my daddy." I shouted.

"I talked to Vanshu," he said calmly.

"What did he say?"

"He said that he is mad for you."

"And what did you say then?"

"I said that don't stalk her and he replied that he is not afraid of anyone. He is actually mad for you ha ha." Shreyas laughed.

"Shut up Shreyas. You don't know how much scared I am. Yesterday I cried a lot and you are laughing at my situation?"

"Sorry Barbie."

"You should be."

"Now listen to me carefully. You are not a kid, I know that but still you need to be little more responsible. Do what I say now. Be there at the same showroom  today at 12 noon! Stand near the same trial room."

"Now what is this Shreyas? For whom should I wait?"

"For vanshu," he said hurriedly.

"Shreyas. You are asking me to meet him?"

"Yes."

"Oh goodness."

"Do you trust me?"

"Yeah, I do."

"Then do what I say."

"Okay"

"Good morning and get ready now. Bye."

He disconnected the phone. I thought that he was totally mad but I trusted him. I wanted to go there just for the sake of Shreyas. I knew Shreyas would have done something. It was also a test for him. I wanted to see whether Shreyas would break my trust or make a greater bond with me. I got ready and departed.


_________________________________________________________________________________


He was standing there. Vanshu. A chilling sensation flew through my spine. I felt very wierd. What the hell was I doing there in front of him? He looked at me and waved. I did not respond to him. I actually didn't want to face that person. He seemed quite fake. He seemed to be covered by different masks. He was the one with chameleon colors. Suddenly someone came from behind.

"Boo.."

I turned to see. He was Shreyas. I smiled and felt very relaxed to see him. In a nut shell, I felt very much comfortable. He very gently held my hand. The way he held it was something I still feel. His soft and gentle fingers touched mine. His rough palm touched my palm. I turned my head to see him but he was already staring me. My mouth gaped to see his expression. His expresiion was that of a great stupidity. He was showing his toothy grin to me.

"Let's go," he whispered in my ear.

"Where?" I asked.

"To your Vanshu."

I got irritated. I suddenly let go my hand from his hand's grip.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Nothing."

"I thought you trusted me."

"I do." I assured him.

He again grabbed my hand and took me near Vanshu. There he was. A stupid, grumpy cat. I hated him. I hated him like hell. I wanted to punch him hard on his nose. I wanted to disfigure his face.  I hated his crocodile smile.

"Hey!" he said.

I didn't reply.

"So Bro, I have brought your love to you. Say whatever you wanted to." Shreyas said to vanshu.

I was shocked to listen all that. I left his hand slowly.

"Yaar! I like you. In fact, I love you. I asked Shreyas to do so and he did this for me. I am very much thankful to him."

He smiled and gave a high five to Shreyas.

What was happening? What was Shreyas doing? He broke my trust. I tried to blink back my tears but couldn't. Tears were coming in my eyes. My eyes drenched with broken dreams. I felt bad. Really very bad. I didn't say anything and I tried to leave the situation. Suddenly, Shreyas held my hand. In just a nanosecond, he punched on Vanshu's face and said,

"Don't you dare to stalk her again."

We left the place. Tears were still in my eyes. I could not interpret the whole situation. What had happened was difficult to recall. I was in a great sense of confusion.

"Barbie, I am sorry. This was the only way by which I could beat that bastard."

"It's okay Shreyas. Thank you!" I cleaned my tears.

"I don't know why I am so possessive about you. The way you started crying, it made me weak."

"Hm?"

"Nothing Barbie. I want to confess something."

"Say?"

"I love you!"

 

Neeyat and Shreyas #Stalking [part- 7 (a)]

It was Saturday afternoon and I was in a very lazy mood. I didn't want to get up from my cozy bed (In the month of February who wants to leave their blanket?) My mother came and she forcefully pulled my blanket. She ordered me to get up then and there. I had to, because she ordered. I can't understand why is it so necessary for kids (especially daughters) to listen to their mothers! I made a dork face.

"Get up Neeyat, at once! You had been sleeping whole day. Just look at the time, it's 12 noon. Why are you becoming so lazy day by day?" She said.

" Come on mom, you know that I love to be in my comfort zone. Then why are you irritating me so much." I took the blanket again on my face!

"Time will pass this way. Come on baby, get up now. I know your college is over but still you need to do some daily chores to keep yourself busy."

"Hm.."

I got up from my bed, had shower and got ready!


_________________________________________________________________________________


After my so-late-breakfast I decided to go for shopping. My wardrobe was nearly empty and I had hardly anything good to wear. It was 2:30 pm. I ignited the car engine and went. As I was driving, my phone vibrated. It was mom. I picked up my phone.

"Hello?"

"Neeyat, get back home early."

"Fine mom. Bye"

I disconnected the call and concentrated on my drive. Suddenly, my phone vibrated again. I smiled to myself and thought that it would be mom again giving some more guidelines. I didn't bother to pick up the phone. Just after a minute, my phone again vibrated. I looked at the screen, it was an unknown number with "778." I didn't know whose number that was. I thought it must be Shreyas. I picked up the phone but no one answered. I disconnected. My phone again vibrated, it was the same number. This time I hardly bothered to pick it up. It vibrated continuously that fully irritated me to depth. At last, I stopped my car and picked the phone.

"What? Who is this?" I said, almost irritated.

"Didn't you recognize? It's me." Someone said in a male voice.

"No."

"I know you quite well."

"Um..Shreyas?"

"Haha...no! Is he your boyfriend?"

"No. Who are you damned?"

"Vanshu"

"Who Vanshu?"

"Your Vanshu. Oh goodness, you are actually very pretty. I somewhat like you."

"Please Shreyas. Stop playing around."

"Again Shreyas? I am not Shreyas!"

I was irritated. I disconnected the phone. How can just someone call me and say that he likes me? What a foolish prank it was. I tried to make myself little bit elated and relaxed. So, I turned on the music. it was my favorite song "love story." I sang along..

I enjoyed a bit with myself. After a long drive of 20 minutes, I reached the showroom. I was in a great mood by then. I almost forgot about the random phone call. I headed towards the escalators. At last, I reached where I wanted to go. I thought about what to buy. I thought may be some tees or some shirts or some tunics would work. Then I thought about salwar kameez but no! i thought about trying some dresses. As I entered the section, I could see beautiful dresses all around me. The most prettiest dress I saw was that glamorous red dress. I had a sudden urge to buy it. i just wanted it. I looked at the price tag and my eyes bulged out. It was so expensive. It was a dress from "GUESS." My face dropped down. Then I made my mind for buying salwar kameez. I was not into wearing traditional and I thought how I would look? I thought myself wearing it and looking like a behen ji. I grinned to myself and suddenly a giggle broke my thought. I looked around to see who it was. As I saw towards my right, a person in black was staring me. I thought who he was? I ignored him!

I moved to the first floor and I saw him coming behind. I was getting afraid. Who he could be? I managed myself to take a dress and go to the trial room so as to ignore that person. My phone rang and I was shocked. It was the same unknown number. I just picked it.

"Pink color suits you!" he said as i picked my phone.

"How do you know I am wearing pink?"

"I know almost everything. Right now, you are there in the trial room, trying out that sunny yellow dress."

As he said this I cut the call. My heart started beating fast. I was scared at that moment. I got out from the trial room and headed towards the exit. I wanted to go back home. I was very scared. As I sat in my car, I saw that black shirt person again. he waved looking at me. I was feeling so scared that my heart could pounce out anytime. I drove back home in full speed. I saw a text flashing on my screen. It said :

"Hey! What happened?
Didn't you like me?
I am not that bad! ;)"

After reading this message, I realized that the person stalking me was that random guy calling. i went home back as fast as I could. earlier, I thought about telling all this to mom but later, I denied telling as it could tense her.

As I reached my home, I went to my bed and sobbed badly. I was so horrified with all that scene that happened. I thought about shreyas as he was my only hope. I logged in to message him :

"Shreyas...I am so scared!
Want to talk to you :'("

I waited for an hour but Shreyas didn't reply. I got very sad. I logged off my account, wrapped myself in my blanket and sobbed a lot. tears oozed from my eyes and I was all red with tears in my eyes.
