CHAPTER 41 to 45

 

Chapter 41

 Saahil’s Diary

 9th November 2011

 

  

One more fortnight and I still don’t know where the hell Hitesh is. I asked his mom about his whereabouts but even she is not aware. They have lodged a complaint now. While leaving home, Hitesh had told aunty that he is going to south for some office related work. Now even I am afraid, what if he has been kidnapped and/or killed! Please god, no! Hitesh may be an asshole but he is a very good friend of mine.

 

There was some error in the billing module that Sneha had implemented and so we had to ask her to look into it. I could have called her up and explained the whole problem, but I chose to send a formal email to her. It is so difficult to accept the fact that someone doesn’t care about you and yet you want to be in the heart of that person. She replied saying that she will work from her office only and solve the issue. It was a one day job for her. The application is now working fine. I thanked her via mail only. I still don’t have the guts to call her up. I have reached the bottom of my self-respect pit and I can’t go beyond that. Beyond that I will have to kill myself.

 

Rahul and I are planning to meet next week at the same bookstore where we met the first time. He wants to know about the anthology contest held by WingsToWords Publications. I gave him the link and stuff of the contest. But he still wants to know how I approached the story and such things. So, we are going to meet soon. Maybe then I


can take his help to break the ice again with Sneha. Even though on the surface I hate Sneha, deep inside I still love her and want her to be in my life again. Maybe via Rahul I can send my messages to her. She might have already put my email id in the Junk filter!

 

The other day, the editor of the anthology mailed me that out of 870 entries, my entry is in the top 100. So now I pray to god that I get selected in the top 24 too! And then I can proudly change my Facebook name to “Author Saahil Shah”.

 




Chapter 42

Sneha’s Diary

 13th November 2011

  

Dear Georgie, my mother has shortlisted some 5 boys. 4 work in the IT industry. 1 works in a Pharma company. All are ‘KoBra’ i.e. Kokanastha Brahmin. The ones working in the IT company are good looking. They have lived in US for a few years and seem to have a lot of money. One guy has written in his profile that he has all the material comforts that a girl can ask for and now he is waiting for his better half to share all of it with. Hahhaha… Such cheesy lines these guys put on matrimony sites. Uff!

 

I exchanged mails with Rahul 2-3 times in the last few days. He only asked me out for a coffee. So in a couple of days I will meet him. He was asking if we should invite that Saahil too. A small reunion it will be, he said. I voted against that idea. I need to focus on what I want.

 

That Jenifer is pursuing the case against her ex-boyfriend very seriously. Such creepy fellows should learn a lesson. What if that cheapo has a sister and someone snoops in her life like this! I am planning to go to the police station with her next week and see if I can use my dad’s clout to make that bastard’s life more miserable. I will try my best. If anyone does something of that sort to me, then his parents will find his dead body! That’s for sure!

 

And Aryan added me on Facebook. So a new story might branch out, I guess. Guys don’t add you on FB for no reason, right?


Sunita didi tried to commit suicide. She was hospitalised. I took care of little Aditi for a couple of days. I so so soooooo want to have a daughter like Aditi! With Rahul’s looks and brains of yours truly, I think that our daughter will be one of a kind!






Chapter 43

 Rahul’s Diary

 19th November 2011

  

I met Saahil last week. Nice guy. Simple and jolly. And creative too. He said that his entry in the anthology competition is now in the top 100 out of 900 odd entries the publication house received.

 

At first he was kind of nervous as he didn’t know what I wanted to discuss and all. But then once he got comfortable talking to me, he was on fire. Joke pe joke. He is a pure veggie, unlike me. I then showed him the poems I had written. He loved those poems. He asked me to write stories too. But I told him that poems are my forte, not prose. I tried one or two short stories, but didn’t feel that satisfaction of having written something good.

 

He casually asked me if I had any communication with Sneha. I told him that we had exchanged mails a few times and that I was planning on meeting her the next day. I could sense from his face that he too wanted to join us. But Sneha had advised me against having him at our meeting. So, I didn’t invite him. He then gave me a lot of information about various anthology competitions going on in the literary world.

 

The next day I met Sneha. I met her after office hours at a Café Coffee Day outlet near her office. It was fun actually. The first time I had seen her, she was wearing a nice white top and that evening she was in a blue salwar. She was indeed looking good. She asked me how I was aware of the CCD outlet near her office. I told her that I had already


been there with a friend sometime back. She is very talkative. I had no other option but to listen to her sweet chatter. It reminded me of the days with my horse riding sir. He used to share his experiences in the army and how he saved lives of many civilians and his fellow army men on many occasions. I didn’t care if he was boasting or not. I just loved listening to his bravery tales in his thick baritone.

 

After a cup of coffee and a hot chocolate brownie, we left for our homes. She stays in Dombivli which is like 2.5 hours from her office in Goregaon. I wonder how people can travel so much!

 

This week I have to go to the police station for that teddy bear cum orgy case. I have been told that they have caught hold of the culprit. I am going to bash his face in front of the police itself!

 

Have 3 more poems to write before I sleep today.

 

Bye!

 





Chapter 44

 Saahil’s Diary

 24th November 2011

  

Holy mother of God! You will not imagine even in the worst of dreams what happened last week, dear Diaz!

 

Hitesh – my best friend and all-time flirt – had crossed his limits by light years. He had gifted his ex-girlfriend 5 teddy bears as a token of love when they had decided to part ways. He had taken out the eyes of those teddy bears and put in hidden cameras, which he used to record all the actions of his girlfriend. So whatever she did at her apartment, right from daily chores to you know, everything, this bastard friend of mine has taped.

 

The police said that most of wildest stuff that has been taped consists of orgies. I still cannot believe that such things happen in India. I used to think that such things are common in US. But orgies happening in the land of Gandhi! Oh my goodness! I am still in a state of disbelief. And and and, that Rahul was also in a relationship with Hitesh’s Goan ex-girlfriend. The police said that they have found a few tapes with Rahul and that girl having a heaven of a time! In one tape, the police said, there were 3 girls and 3 boys!!! Here I am having trouble impressing one simple beautiful girl and there people are busy being taped indulging in orgies!

 

And and and, that’s not all, that girl turned out to be Sneha’s best friend from office! And Sneha was there too when I went to meet


Hitesh in jail. If that is not enough, Rahul too had come to the police station as he was summoned by the police and his rage shot through the roof when the police revealed that Hitesh had uploaded the videos of their sexual acts on various famous porn sites. Hitesh said that he used to upload the videos every night. He did that for several weeks and one day the police raided the Goan’s apartment and found this whole shit!

 

Sneha was totally shocked to find out that Hitesh was my friend. She must have gotten one more reason to hate me! Let’s see if Sneha hates Rahul as much as she hates me after finding out that Rahul was involved in these American sex acts! That will show me how hollow or good she is.

 

I never expected the 3 of us to meet again in this fashion. At a police station!







Chapter 45

Sneha’s Diary

 25th November 2011

 

 

I have so many thoughts circling in my head right now that I don’t know what to and how to share with you dear Georgie. Let’s go point by point.

 

Jenifer: My best friend from office had the audacity to have rampant sex in her apartment and not even apologise in front of the police or me. She justifies her act by saying this is her fundamental right.

 

Fundamental right my foot! I have been waiting for my dream man since ages and here this queen is busy having orgies at her apartment! Not only that, her sexual escapades were taped by her ex-boyfriend for more than a month!

 

Hitesh: He is Jeni’s ex-boyfriend who runs a home surveillance system and had gifted Jeni 5 teddy bears with their eyes replaced by hidden cameras! He, I should not be shocked, turned out to be Saahil’s best friend! Yes! I am lucky that I didn’t have much contact with Saahil except during office hours. You never know what that despo guy would have done to me!

 

Saahil: He was at the police station to meet his friend. I could see from his eyes that he wanted to start a conversation. But I avoided him.

 

Rahul: Yes! The dashing Rahul that I had fallen for! Turns out that he had a nice time with Jeni in her apartment. But it was unfortunate to see that those tapes were uploaded to porn sites. The entire time we

 


were at the police station, he hung his head in shame and disbelief and tried to avoid eye contact with me. Just a couple of days back only we had met at the CCD near my office. It is so difficult to understand whom to trust and whom not to!

 

With this whole Jenifer fiasco, I guess I will stick to the arranged marriage route where my mom finds the guy for me and then I have 2 babies and then be a sweet mother to them and see them get married before I die.

 

I will have to open the Aryan card, I think.
