Fake Ishq - Blogepisode 05 - The Judgement Day

previous episode

After coming home, I couldn’t sleep the whole night; I was just lying on the bed with my eyes wide open. I wanted to sleep, however sleep had other plans that night, because it was happening for the first time with me. I wanted to cry, I wanted to shout, I wanted to ask her why, why you did this with me. Actually it’s "us" I and Deepak. But that poor fellow didn’t know about the next morning plans. I looked at the clock and it was 12:30 AM. And I wanted this time to pass as quickly as possible. But things didn’t seem to be in my favor.

I picked my mobile and don’t know why I opened her chat and scrolled up, and up and up till I reached her first message "Hi". I wanted to go back in time and block her number then and there but now it’s too late. She is into my mind and now I cannot do anything. I started reading all the messages one by one, it took me an hour or so, when I reached to final conversation. She is a "Play Girl", isn’t she? She deserved a standing ovation, because it needs guts to be involved with two best friends at the same time. I don’t know what she was thinking.

Was she so sure that this is never going to get revealed? and

How long she would have continued this?

I saw a drop of tear fell on the mobile screen. No, No, No, I can't, I shouldn't. But I think they were not in the mood to listen to me. I immediately went to the washroom and stood under the shower. I didn’t remove my clothes and just started the shower. I tried to wash my tears in it, my legs were shivering, I held the water tap to balance myself.

"kyun kiya re tune aisa", I said

I wanted to call Deepak, but decided not to, "kal subah to uska bhi chutiya katne wala hai".

“Mere dimag mein bahut sare ideas aa rahe they, and har idea ek se badh kar ek innovative”. The worst idea, "let’s go and kill her". No, No, “mujhe Jail ho jayegi”. So thoughtful, isn’t it. Thank god my mind was taking over my heart.

“Ye bhenchod, dil ke pass dimag to hota nahi, fir log kun boltey hain, My heart says this and my mind says that, Chutiye sale”.

Meanwhile I got a title in my mind, "Anu ki Haar", “Waah, kya baat hai”. Believe it or not, “ye bhale hi kisi third grade director ki B grade movie ka title ho, but ye awaaz mere dil se aayi thi. Han bhanchod, mere Dil se, or dimag ne bhi ispar taliyan bajai hongi.”

So now, I made few bullet points for tomorrow’s agenda.

Topic - "Anu ki haar"

BP1 - She is not worth it, accept it.

BP2 - Narrate a betrayal love story to Deepak

BP3 - Pass few napkins to him, if he is crying

BP4 - Delete her number, from both phones

And last but not the least

BP5 - Celebrate this Chutiyappa.

Note - BP stands for "bullet point".

I realized that it was getting bit chilly, because I was sitting under the shower from the last 30min. I came out, changed my clothes, and made a tea for myself. “Nind to dur dur tak nahi thi”. So without wasting time, I started working on my task no. 1. But believe me, “jab aapko pyar hota hai na, to kya sahi kya galat , bhad me jaye, aapka dimag bas uske bare mein sochta hai”. So I don’t know when I started making plans to convince Deepak that she is not a good partner for you and also at the same time thinking of convincing Anu that she had made a mistake and I was ready to forgive her. You don’t believe, but people who are stuck in such situation or went through a breakup can understand this. “Sala, pata hone ke baad bhi ki “tumhare ‘L’ lag gaye hain”, apne partner par gussa nahi ata. Bolna bahut aasan hota hai Boss, but accept karne mein ‘G’ lag jati hai.” Its damn difficult, “fatt ke flower ho jati hai”, trust me.

So, as expected, “subah ke 7 baje tak ka status”. Task 1 - incomplete.

I heard Deepak was calling me, he wanted to use washroom.

“Kaisi rahi teri night man ki Job. Sale main 2 baje utha, light on thi, subah 4 baje b lights ON thi. Or Raat ko tujhe nahane ki kya sojhi. Kar kya raha tha raat bhar.” He asked.

I replied, nothing, bahut garmi thi, isiliye just took bath. And I wasn’t asleep so movie dekh raha tha.

Konsi movie, he asked, immediately

I so wanted to say, "Anu ki Haar", but I replied "Sonu ke Titu ki Sweety"

“Bhenchod, mujhe bhi utha leta”. Deepak said

“Sorry bhai, we will watch it today”, I said

Tea, I asked

Yes, He said

Sure, settle down, I will make it. I said.

I was still thinking about the agenda and wanted to fulfill the title. I saw Deepak, and it came to my mind, who is worth it amongst these two (Deepak or Anu). Honestly, it makes things so easy. I don’t want her and that’s final.

Now, status report,

• Task 1 (She is not worth it, Accept it), completed.

Let’s proceed to the next task.

I passed on the cup of tea to Deepak, and asked him, would you like to have something to eat.

Nothing buddy, He said

So how was the movie? He asked

Awesome, but you know “climax baki hai abhi”, we will watch it together, I said

Sure, he acknowledged.

Deepak, you were saying something last night, do you remember, I asked

Regarding what? He asked.

Someone special, I asked, in a different way

Buddy, please don’t get angry, I wanted to tell you, but just waiting for the right time and right place, he said.

No problem, buddy, Go ahead tell me now, I said. Inside me, “chutiye, time se bata deta na to na mera katata, na tera katne wala hota”.

You know the day when all our colleagues came to the Hospital. I saw Anu was very silent and very sad. So I texted her when everybody left.

Deepak to Anu conversation

Deepak - Hi Anu, This is Deepak, I saw you were very silent and sad. What happened?

Anu - Hello Deepak, I felt very bad after seeing you like this. Please get well soon. :(

Deepak - I will be fine soon, Thanks. J

I slept that day very well. We started chatting frequently, and one day she asked me, If she can come to meet me. You were in the office when she came.

She bought flowers for me. She was there for 2 hours and that day I said, "I like you, Anu"

She smiled and said, "Me too".

I wanted to jump, and tell you about this. But she said, we will tell you(Ravi) about us, once you are fit and fine and back home.

I agreed to that.

You know Ravi, she helped me a lot in recovering so fast, she is one of the biggest reason, I am standing on my feet right now.

In my mind, “Man to kar raha hai teri dusri tangg bhi tod dun. Bhosdike, tujhe abhi susu karwane main le kar gaya. Raat Raat bhar tere sath hospital mein main Raha. And tune sara credit Anu ko de diya.”

That’s great yar, I said.

Inside me "koina, Tere abhi ‘L’ lagne wale hain. Tujhe abhi aisi jagah lagegi , jahan tujhe sabse jyada dard hoga. The big fish is going to come soon my brother”.

“Bas yehi batana tha”, sorry for the delay brother. Deepak said

No problem buddy, I said

Without stretching this topic, I asked him, what you will have in breakfast. I want him to have something before his potential heart break.

Milk and corn flakes. He replied

While preparing the break-fast I saw he was checking his mobile. I immediately snatched it from his hands. No mobile. Go and get fresh. I said

Ji Mummy, He replied

I typed a message to Anu, Don’t you dare contact him. Mujhse bura koi nahi hoga. Sent.

As soon as I got two blue ticks, I blocked her on Whatsapp.

I kept Deepak's mobile with me.

After breakfast, we both were sitting and watching TV. Deepak asked for his mobile.

I was hesitant to return that. I wanted to speak to him first before he comes to know anything from her, as I knew she must be trying something.

Listen Deepak, I wanted to tell you something. Promise me you will not lose your calm and listen to me properly whatever I am saying.

“Sidhe sidhe bol kya baat hai, bakchodi mat kar”, he said.

Ready steady Po!!

Anu, is not a good choice for you. I said

What are you saying? Why? What happened? He said

Actually, its not a good choice for both of us, I said

Both of us, what the hell you are talking about? He was puzzled.

I gave him my mobile and told him to read the complete chat that I had with Anu.

Whatever she was doing with you, she was doing the same with me, on same conditions of keeping the relationship a secret. I don’t know what was she thinking, but that’s the truth. I said

I saw, Deepak was numb and he almost drop my phone.

Hey, buddy, don’t worry. She was playing with our feelings, with our sentiments. I said

Why the hell you didn’t tell me earlier, he yelled at me

Because the same contract she had with you, I said

I was very foolish to accept that, otherwise this wouldn’t have happened, I continued.

He was shattered and sat there with his head down, I hugged him. He broke down in tears.

Don’t cry buddy, its ok. I myself was in tears; however I had to be strong. I wanted to say, I can understand what are you feeling right now, but I stopped myself. The situation was so similar yet complicated two different guys in love with a same girl and most importantly for same reason.

I was thinking, why I am consoling him, I was doing the same thing a few hours ago.

He stopped crying after some time and I gave him some water. He, then picked up his mobile and dialed her number, I immediately snatched his mobile and disconnected the call. Listen, there is no going back. What are you going to say over call, "Why this Kolaveri Di", and you will end up shouting and fighting with her, that will make you look devastated. Don’t do anything. I told her not to contact you ever again. And I want this promise from you too. Let’s delete and block her number form our phones. Delete every single thing related to her we have in our mobile and in our lives.

Now, the status

• Task 2 Completed

• Task 3 Not required, handled more appropriately

• Task 4 Completed

Now get up and take bath. We will be going out. I said

No Ravi, I don’t want to go out. I am not feeling like. He said

Sun, apne aapko itna dukh mat de, she is not bothered about this. I am also feeling the same thing, and I can feel exactly the same how you are feeling, for the obvious reasons. So, ye rona band kar and try to come out of it, I said.

He agreed. I am glad he is listening to me.

We had lunch outside, did some shopping, and went for a movie.

On agreed mutual decision we bought a “Black label - Jonny Walker” to celebrate this day. We threw out that girl from our lives, like she was never there. I cooked the chicken. That day we made a promise with each other, talk whatever you want to talk about her, for the last time. And from tomorrow there will be no talks, no discussion, nothing.

Days passed, and Deepak was recovered, physically and emotionally. Things have changed, however, whenever we sit together and drink, we have one common line to say to each other, "Teri kabhi na hone wali bhabi ki yaad aa gai". and other say "mujhe bhi"

silence for a sec

"Sala Fake Ishq." We both laugh.

"Happy Fakeishq to you :) "
