Love Ke Side Effects…..

Us raat koi kuch bhi na keh saka… Aisa lag raha tha hum sabhi ajnebee logo ke saath safar kar rahe hai.. Karthik ab tak vishvas nahi kar pa raha tha jo uske sath hua tha.. Who poori raat soya nahi tha.. Kinjal apni berth me thi but who bhi shayad so nahi payi thi… In fact all were trying to sleep but koi so nahi pa raha tha.. Sab taraf tensed chehre the.. Jeet ki khushi pata nahi kaha chali gayi thi.. Hum subah Udaipur pahuche aur sabhi apne ghar ki aur chal diye.. Kinjal aur Karthik ne ek doosre ki taraf dekha bhi nahi tha.. Me and Vaibhav waved a bye to Megha, Simmy and Shruthi and moved with other boys.

Us din sabhi bahut tired feel kar rahe the.. main ghar pahuch kar so gaya and woked up late in the evening.. I took shower and was sitting with my mom and having my evening tea,, tabhi mere phone ki ring baji.. my mom looked at me.. *my mom was always very interested to know who is calling me.. to much care to afford* maine dekha Megha ka call tha.. I picked up the call…

Megha-“Hi…”

Me-“Hi.. how are you feeling now?”

Megha-“I am feeling much better now. And you?”

Me-“Yeh,, me too trying to recover and hope I will be able to attend classes tomorrow.”

Megha-“Baat hui kya us se?”

Me-‘‘kis se ?’’ *Shayad mera dimag kaam nahi kar raha tha*

Megha-“Kinjal ya Karthik se.. idiot.”

Suddenly all the things came around my mind.. it made me remember all the things happened in train regarding Kinjal and Karthik.

Me-“nahi yar.. I just forgot about that.. chal me Karthik se baat karta hu..tu Kinjal se baat kar,, baad me baat karte hai phir. Bye.!!”

*my mom sitting at dining table looked at me with suspicion. *

I said-“nothing mom.. I am going to Karthik’s home.. having some assignment related work to do.”*moms always know that you are lying, just that thay had nothing against us then* And I took my bike and moved over to Karthik’s house.. maine Vaibhav aur Sameer ko bhi call kar ke waha bula liya tha.

Main Karthik ke ghar pahucha tab tak Vaibhav waha pahuch chuka tha.. Aunty told me that both are in Karthik’s room.

Main jaise hi Karthik ke room me enter hua.. dekha Karthik aur Vaibhav chup chap baithe hue hai aur music system par sad song chal raha tha…

“Dil mera churaya kyo.. Jab yeh dil todna hi tha,, Hum se dil lagaya kyo,, Jab u muh modna hi tha… Why did you break my heart….”

*I tell you.. yeh hindi sad songs aise situation me bade effective hote hai,, aache bhale insaan koh bhi vishwas kara dete hai ki kuch serious hua hai life me*

Maine room me enter hote hi sab se pehle song band kar diya..

Vaibhav-“Areyyy.. band kyo kar raha hai.. kitna aacha song hai”

*I gave him a bad look..* he sat down..

Me-“Hey Karthik.. kya haal hai,, how are you feeling now”

He didn’t answer.

*His face became more tensed*

Me-“Are yar kyo tension le raha hai.. sab thik ho jayega.” *This words made me remember the words of Simmy jab hum Jaipur me green room me the.. oh I just love her.*

Karthik-“Just leave me alone guyz,, abhi main baat karne ke mood me nahi hu.”

Sameer entered the room…

Sameer-“Kya hua bhai.. mahoul itna garam kyo hai?? Sab chup kyo baithe hai?”

Vaibhav-“Karthik ke pyar ko shraddhanjali dene aaye hai.. haha”

Karthik filled with anger and said-“Tere saath nahi hua na isi liye jyada bol raha hai.. tere saath hoga na tab pata chalega ki shraddhanjali dena kya hota hai.”

Vaibhav-“main toh isi liye in ladkiyo ke chakkar me nahi padta hu.. sab ki sab ek jaisi hoti hai,, pehle toh khud pass aati hai,, phir kuch kaho to kehti hai.. sab tumhari galti hai.. maine toh kabhi aisa nahi socha tha.”

Karthik-“Kinjal ke baare me aisa mat bol.. tujhe koi haq nahi hai usko kuch bolne ka.”

Vaibhav-“tujhe bahut haq de diya usne vaise bhi,, dekh liya na kya kiya tere saath”

Karthik-“dekh ab tu jyada bol raha hai,, Kinjal aisi ladki nahi hai”

We tried to stop both of them but it was too late….

Vaibhav-“are sab ki sab ek jaisi hoti hai.. bloody bi…….*Slap-Slap*

Vaibhav baat poori kar pata is se pehle hi usko rok diya gaya.... Karthik slapped Vaibhav. Vaibhav ko vishvas nahi hua ki Kaarthik ne us par haath uthaya tha.

Vaibhav angrily rushed towards Karthik but we stopped him.

Sameer-“ Karthik,,Pagal ho gaya hai kya,, us ladki ke liye tu apne dost par haath utthayega.”

Karthik shouted *This time a bit louder*- “Please get the hell out of here.. its my house and leave me alone… get out!!!” *It was too late to convince him now*

Vaibhav-“Ja rahe hai.. humko bhi teri koi jarurat nahi hai.. ja apni us dokhebaaz friend ke pass,, usi ke saath rehna ab..” Vaibhav banged the door and moved out of the room,, Sameer followed him to stop.

Karthik.. his eyes wet…sat down on the bed.

Me-“hey..listen buddy…”

Karthik-“Please leave me alone bro.. is se pehle ki main kuch galat keh du.. please abhi mujhe akela chod de”

Me-“Ok bro..! we will talk later, you take care..” I left the room.

Vaibhav moved to his home without saying anything to us. Me and Sameer looked at each other. Depressed, confused, tired, hopeless, helpless, samaj nahi aa raha tha ki ab kya kiya jaye. Hum yaha karne kya aaye the aur kya ho gaya tha. Ek problem solve nahi hui thi aur doosri ne aa ke dimag kharab kar diya tha. Socha tha Karthik ko mana lenge aur thoda mood bhi fresh ho jayega. But yaha toh kuch aur hi ho gaya.. ladki ke liye ek dost ne doosre par haath uttha diya tha.. kya sach me ladkiya aisi hoti hai.. we said goodbye and moved away… saari raat yehi sochta raha.. time bahut kharab chal raha tha.. yeh sab kya ho raha tha……..
