I am sorry.. I am wicked..!!!
It was a bad day after which I return home, and when I say
bad day in Chartered Accountancy students life it means disaster. Aman Raheja
that’s me was again a victim of such disaster today. My day started with
tutorial lectures and today tutor cursed me for not studying, whole day is
spent in office doing internship where boss scolded me for mistakes in my work
in the next set to tutorial I felt ashamed as I was not able to solve a simple
accountancy problem also. It was the day where I got trauma thrice, but in a
normal day its one or two at a time. So I came home late by 9pm was feeling
fucked up threw shoes to the corner of room where mom gave me another half an
hour lecture on discipline and behaviour. It was ruthlessly a bad day for me.
At night, which is the only part of the day when I feel
alive, I was busy watching my favorite TV show and a number flashed on my cell
phone screen, it was Ishan my best friend sudden emotion of enthusiasm came
into me even after a fucked up day as Ishan was the only one whom I can tell
the story of my tragic life and he has been patient listener all these days in
my life. He was calling me after so many days and was calling on the day when I
needed him the most.
Aman: Hi Ishan
Ishan: Hi how are you..?
Aman: Screw this Chartered Accountancy, its taking my life.
Ishan: (Laughs) we
engineering student are equally screwed. You are no exception.
His sentence made me forget all the crapy things happened
during the day he was such a comforter.
Ishan: Aman I have one more bad news for you
Aman: Yaar, I have such a bad day that now I can even accept
the news of asteroid falling on my building also.
Ishan: Aman today I saw Ritika.
Aman: hmmm
Ishan: with some other guy
After chatting for a while I hung up. Ritika was the only
romantic angle in my life, she was the only person whom I loved very deeply but
never expressed. Even I was very good friend of her but I haven’t got
confidence of proposing her also I was busy in my life where I have to fight
with myself to work for 14 hours a day. I don’t know why I was feeling my eyes
little moist, though I was damn practical man with no emotion who was working
as a machine in his life without a single word of sympathy from anybody. But
this robot is emotional today though I had hint of it, but Ishan confirmed the
news. Suddenly my heart started aching and I searched for some gazals in my
cell phone to listen “Chupke chupke raat din aansu bahana yaad hai”. I haven’t
felt bad that she got hooked up with some other guy but she was with Rohit,
whom if I compare with myself was nobody. He was born rich this was the only
quality he has, has no internship as his father have relations with his Boss
who allow him to have a look of office once in a week if he desires so, all his
day spent in gyming, partying, enjoying, coming to the tutorials so that he can
enjoy sitting at last bench and passing comments watch girls etc. And there is
also one thing I noticed in this world, bloody pocket filled people are also good
looking it’s such a tragedy for poor hard working loverboy like me who can’t
compete with this.
Next day I went early morning tutorial when I saw Ritika she
waved me hi..! and to reply I also waved back hi..! Then I noticed Rohit
entering and they sharing glimpse and smile I noticed that all and this all was
salt on my wound. I tried concentrating on lecture but all I was able to do, as
I was watching Ritika turning in every 5 min to see rohit and giving her killer
smile which always hypnotized me.
After my office I skipped my second set of tutorial to see
Ishan. Ishan was only person whom I wanted to talk in this matter. Though I wanted to talk to him but it was
purely one sided conversation in which he was the speaker.
So you bloody moron,
got disappointed just because your girl hooked up with some one. Just because
of girl my highly talented arrogant tiger is behaving as a little wet cat. This
is not the Aman I have seen in my life, I have only seen a fighter who was
fighting for everything I want you to become the same snatch the things that
you deserve, I want you to be yourself back in form not a lazy dog that you
have become because of your busy schedule, I want my tiger back who never gave
a damn about girl. This lecture from Ishan has made me think all night about myself.
Who am I and what I am now?
Next day, when I went to tutorial Ritika waved to me as
usual ritual but instead of waving back I went near her and said good morning
and shook her hand, also I made sure that Rohit see all the happenings. Today I
deliberately sat two benches behind ritika so that I can have perfect view of
her and I also bench just infront of Rohit so that he can hear me. During the
lecture I spoke to the random person sitting next to me whom I barely know or chat
in whole year.
Look at that Ritika hot naa... For starting conversation
about a girl that too beautiful you just require to name her because all have
some stories to tell you. He began yeas damn hot I replied even she has feeling
for me, I am just waiting for right moment to grab her in my arm and kiss her
saying I love you. Random boy, are you sure she will say yes..? Definitely said
I, else nothing to lose instead I will have a kiss. We both began to laugh, I deliberately
tried to laugh lauder so that Rohit could here. Next half an hour I spent
discussing Ritika with that random someone, so that Rohit could hear it all. It
was my way to make rohit feel that there is something between me and Ritika.
In second set of tutorials I approached the teasing
community of our tutorials with a news that Rohit have something with Neeta I
have seen them together in weird position. I always felt Neeta and Rohit are
more than good friend but I don’t think they felt the same but teasing community
need a name that I provided them. As Neeta entered the class the teasing
community guys started shouting name of Rohit and fortunately Rohit entered same
time and people laughed on him. I was watching Ritika’s face all these time,
totally disgusted expressions. Whole class started talking about Neeta and
Rohit and some boys started interrogating Rohit directly. When this entire
scene was happening I was quietly hiding my face inside my book pretending that
I don’t care them I am here for studying.
Now the things were on for two days where people started
linking neeta and rohit and I began to go and talk to ritika for any silly
reason before rohit so that he can see me. It is easy to create
misunderstandings now rohit will feel that ritika is fighting with him because
of me and ritika will fight with him asking several questions about neeta
typical female tendency and that’s where my job gets done.
After few days I got
a call from RItika the girl who never cared for me, who never replied ever to
my texts, I was dying to talk to her but she never cared I loved her like
anything but she even didn’t notice that’s the irony of my life people remember
me only when they need me.
Ritika: Hi
Aman: Hi, How are you? How come you called me?
Ritika: Casually, cant I call my friend without any reason.
Aman: Ofcourse you can
(I knew she has a
specific purpose of calling me, after 2-3 min of casual chit-chat)
Ritika: Rohit and neeta story is true of what? it is hitting
popularity these days.
Aman: Yes I also heard about them, somebody told me they
caught them kissing in parking lot of tutorials.
Ritika: Ohh what a shame
Aman: Good for them, what we have to do with it?
Ritika: Yes I agree. Hey aman can I tell you one secret thing,
you are such a good friend of mine and I trust you a lot therefore I want to
share with you only
Aman: Tell me I won’t tell anybody
Ritika: This guy Rohit was hitting on me, even I accepted
his proposal believing he is nice guy but he is another jerk.
Aman: That’s terrible, why didn’t you ask me about it
earlier, everybody knows how crap rohit is.
Ritika: It was my mistake, I felt that he loves me but….
And she started weeping on phone, even though she was only
crying but I was feeling the same amount of pain as she was. I never wanted to
make her cry, even I can’t see her in pain. I started feeling guilty for my act
it was not the thing I wanted to achieve. People say best opportunity to get
hooked up with somebody is when he/she is just breakoff and they need support.
But I was feeling guilty of doing everything and was feeling that I do not
deserve Ritika, manipulator like me doesn’t deserve simple girl with her clean
heart.
The damage I did was incurable and I had no courage of
accepting it and apologizing.
After sometime Ritika found some other guy this time also my
heart has same amount of pain but I know I deserve this pain as punishment to
my wickedness.
The thing I wanted to say and will never be able to say to
Ritika, Rohit and Neeta is “I am sorry, I am wicked”
