PART 5 : THE "UN"FRIENDS
It had been a week since she was Chacko's "official girlfriend" now.. And it seemed to get worse by the day.. She had let Chacko know, in no uncertain terms, that she was not interested in him, and it was just charity that she was giving him... "But why can't you like me, Gunjan?" he had asked, trying to imitate the "puppy dog"look Samrat often tried on her.. Contrlling her urge to slap him and cpoyrite that look in Samrat's name forever and immediately, Gunjan had just let out a breath and told him calmly.."That's because, Chacko, I like someone else.." That had been a mistake..Funny how she seemed to be making mistakes left right and centre afetr Samrat had entered her life... Shaking her head at her idiocity, she had racked her brains trying to figure out who's name she should take.. Smarat's ofcourse, being the only one true, and out of question..
Uttering a silent prayer for forgiveness, and apologising inwardly, she cringed and said "Sid.. Isnt it obvious? The whole school knows.." She treid to be rude, so that Chacko would take a hint and get away from her life..but no avail.. He just pouted..and said.."Yeah, I guess it was..But no problem..I don't mind it.." Shocked at the display of , or the lack of the famous "Male ego" , she went to find Samrat, wanting solace in the black dal he had in his lunch today, so lovingly prepared especially for her by aunty..just because she liked it..
"Here...! Sometimes I think my mom likes you more than me...Hmphh! So much for being the "Mama's Boy..Really Gunjan , I think at this rate, you will have to change your name from Gunjan Bhushan to Gunjan shergill in some days.." She stared at him in shock..appalled.. Did he even realise what he just said? "Samrat.. Um.. what..did.." "Save the questions for later Gunjan, a bball match is waiting for me.." and apparantly unfazed by the words he just said, barely registering them, he walked off, pecking Diya on her cheek on the way..
"Look Gunjan , I don't like you going too close to Samrat.. He has a girlfriend you know.." "Look, can't you just see I am doing you a favour by going out with you and leave it at that? Stop acting like a real boyfriend, for god's sake! " With that, Gunjan slammed the receiver down and made up her mind.. This had been Chacko's 4th question in a week about her and Samrat, since he had heard Samrat saying Gunjan Sherfill by the staircase that day.. She couldn't tolerate anymore..
"Samrat, I am breaking up with him.." "But Gunjan, what's wrong? Tellme..STop acting like this.. You have hardly told me what made you come to this decision..Is this a way to treat your best boy-friend?" "GUY-friend Samrat..not Boy-frined.. And if you want to know, then here it is.. HE THINKS WE ARE GOING OUT..! Satisfied? Now let me go get rid of this weight around my neck.." And then she saw it.. The dimpled smile she had been missing since she had started going out with Chacko.. It flustered her, and as she saw his face brighten, she walked away before the treacherous patch of red, spreading rapidly over her neck, gave her feelings away..
"Hey listen..Im sorry I cant go out with you anymore.." With that, she turned around and walked towards Samrat, who was waiting for her with a ...victorious? smile on his face...
"Ow Gunjan, stop hitting me!!! Im hurt" "Dont you dare Ow Gunjan me, Mr. Samrat Shergill! What were you thinking, getting your nose broken in school like this? Do you have the remotest idea of how it embarassing it was when someone comes in running saying 'Oh gunjan! Samrat is fighting for you and has got his nose broken'??What WAS all that?? " "Nothing Gunjan, I just..." "You just what? And dont look at me..Look down! Dont you dare try that puppy dog on me...You are not getting out of this one!" "Nothing really.. after you walked off, I just went and congratulated Chacko.. And then he punched me on my nose.. Now what was my fault in all this?" Gunjan smiled, pushing him aside, and walked home..
