[PART 1]
Tears streamed down my cheeks continuously as i stared ahead at the wall blankly. Thoughts clouded my mind as i try to decide desperately.
"Why always me?", i choked out.
"I-i'm.... I'm just a... Girl. A g-girl who w-wanted to.... love", i sobbed.
This is my life now. Filled with Depression, sadness and cries.
But why?..... Well...
[FLASHBACK]
Two years ago.....
While Folding my clothes, suddenly the phone rings. I reached out and picked up my Grandma's small keypad phone.
"Hello?" I said quietly.
"Heyy! Main Priya Di bol rahi hu!" My Cousin shouts into the phone, making me groaned internally.
(Heyy! It's me, your sister priya speaking!)
"Yeah? What do you want again?", I asked while going back to fold the clothes. The phone pressed between my ears and shoulder blade.
"Umm actually, you remember I was talking about a guy?", she whispered.
"Yeah? The guy who likes me? What's with him?", i replied nonchalantly.
"Vha tujhse baat karna chahta hai", She stated with a sigh.
(He wants to talk to you)
I froze for a moment. stopping my clothes folding as i grip the phone, then replied with a grunt, "to kya hua? Main nhi karne wali hu koi baat, dadi hai"
(So what? I don't wanna talk, grandma is here)
My cousin-sister sighed, "it's no big deal, sis. Just listen what he wants to say."
With a defeated sigh, i replied, "theek hai"
(Okay fine)
"Hold on, I'll take him on a conference call" my cousin-sister whispered with a giggle.
While she dialled the guy's number, i quietly sneaked out of my house.
The call connects and immediately Chaos filled my ears. I heard him saying, "Priya ji main baad mei baat karta hu, abhi cricket khel Raha hu", Then he hung up.
(Priya, I'll talk later, I'm playing cricket now.)
I don't know why but i felt.... Disappointed.
Priya Di speaks up, "well, i guess he's busy now."
"Umm i see", i mumbled gruffly.
"Anyway, I'm coming next month for your birthday!", she exclaimed excitedly.
My eyes light up immediately, "sachhi?! Yarrr jaldi se aoo, main bohot bore ho Rahi hu yaha akele."
(Really?! Dudeee come soon, I'm getting ready bored alone here)
For a long time, we talked. Planning about my Birthday.
That's when my grandma called out, "shreyanshiii! Khane a jaldi seee!"
(Shreyanshiiii! Come to eat!)
<Priya Di, she's also my grandma's granddaughter– My grandma's Third daughters' Second child. She's friendly, humble and kind. Everyone loves her so much and she's my favourite of all cousins. Despite being more than five years older than me, she's just like my friend and shares her all secrets with only me.>>
After a week, at night when I was eating and my grandma was seated on the bed, the phone buzzed.
My grandma immediately handed me the phone. I looked at the screen and raised an eyebrow, unknown number. I picked up.
"Hello?", i said while chewing. But there was complete silence.
"Hello? Kon?", I repeated.
(Hello? Who?)
A male voice filled my ears, "Main Sonu bol raha hu", He whispered. His voice sounded like he was sleeping.
(It's me Sonu)
I froze, the name 'Sonu'.... i remember my Sister telling me that name. i looked at the small wall clock. 12am, i always eat late. Then i just hung up and blocked the number immediately.
"Kon tha?", My Grandma asked while sleeping.
(Who was it?)
I replied with a neutral tone, "Pata nhi. Koi jawab nhi de Raha tha. Pakka koi wrong number hoga."
(I don't know. No one replied. Must be a wrong number)
The next day, I tried to contact Priya Di, but she didn't picked up. I wondered, who gave him my number?
The month passed by blur.
August Month Arrived, my cousin-sister, Priya Di came one day before my birthday. My birthday is on 3rd August and she came 1st August.
I greeted her with a big jadu ki jhappi (Hug) while she kissed my both chubby cheeks.
"Dekh agayi main jaisa promise Kiya tha", she chuckled.
(Look i came just like i promised)
But not just my cousin, my mom came too.
"To kya layi hai teri didi tere janamdin k liye?", my mom teased while cooking.
(So what your sister brought for your Birthday?)
"Woh khud ayi hai iyehi kafi hai mere liye", i replied with a pout, making everyone laugh. Still clinging to her.
(She herself came is enough for me)
At night, me and my sister slept together on Machaan (small Attic type under the roof).
We always sleep there at family gatherings or if any cousins comes.
She was talking to her bf when suddenly i ask, "sis? Did you gave my number to that guy?"
She replied, "umm why do you ask?"
"Because he called me week ago, how did he got my number?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
My cousin-sister answered with a nervous laugh, "o-oh, i-i.. i didn't!"
I leaned closer suspiciously, "you sure?"
She gulped nervously, "okay fine. I gave him, don't be mad"
I sighed heavily "why?! He called me at late night! Grandma was there"
She speaks in a ressuaring tone, "Don't worry, He's not a bad guy. And after all you blocked him right?"
I just rolled my eyes.
~But i didn't realise how much my heart has started race a little faster since hearing his voice.
What's gonna happen next?
