Fifteen years back.
In this entry ,I would share my encounter with verity. This truth had shook me to the core and made me relent a lot.And it was only the start of our many misunderstandings.
Unfortunately today could be contemplated as one of the worst day of my life.Wanna know why ?
Well I was deceived by a person whom I never excepted to be such gruesome liar.I knew the moment I had met him that he was a very bad news. He himself had confessed of committing innumerable crimes and sins but never was he a liar.You might be wondering its simply I perceived him wrong,my bad right?That's it.
Nope.It wasn't.
I shouldn't have bothered much because he was nothing but a seasonal wind yet I stood wrecked in the middle of my abandoned lawn.I wanted to surmount from this agony but tears won't pour out.I wanted to scourge him but all my strength seemed to have poofed off.
The day had began with my jogging and as I made out to the Southern street within minutes, I slowed down to gasp. This was my usual stoppage.
If one looks thoroughly one would find this particular street to be quite organized and clean if you know what I mean.Houses were with similar plan and were adorned with well trimmed garden flanked the aisle and in the midst odd but ironically stood a maroon house.Hilarious was it.And it was my bestie's,Annika's house.Don't be surprised I might be loner but I could converse with people time to time.Period.
Now to be forthright Annika could be considered to be a gothic chica who was an addict or better a fashionista and musicaholic. She even was the drummer of our school music band.She was always a bit funky who snorts at everything and is a serious chatterbox.For past few months after high school graduation it had become a ritual that in the morning after my jog I would end here and wake her up from her princess sleep. Often times believe me I would roll my eyes simply because I was aware of her being a light sleeper and with a one light shove only she would be awake. Dramatic much yet I loved her to a fault.Don't tell her though.
Sighing heavily, I knocked the door thrice and waited for Nike to open.Moments later Nike greeted me with a charming smile and pointed me to Ani,who was surprisingly awake and slurping down a bowl of cereals in haste.How on earth.....why or from which direction did the sun arose today?I even pinched myself for assurance.Unbelievable ...
As if on cue, sensing my astonishment Nike just shrugged his shoulders and left me back to the kitchen.
"Pinch me again,can you ?",I rasped.
"Bluey,thank heavens you are finally here.",she answered all the while chomping down her breakfast.
"Why this urgency ,may I know Ani?"
"Well,you see as being your only bf I ought to have some responsibility towards you so I...."
"Tell me you didn't, Ani",I groaned.
"Definitely I did",Ani retorted.
The thing is few days since Edward's arrival, Ani met Edward and I had introduced him and naturally she surmised us as being couples.Unfeasible.And to quench her curiosity she started digging into his social media platforms and blogs.She constantly nagged me for his details, his girlfriends, age etc.But I was a lost cause there.Definitely I was fascinated by him but I wanted the details to come from him directly.I wanted him to open up to me on his own.That's always had been my way of thinking so I stuck to it.
Nonetheless, I quirked my eyebrows in silent urge solely directed to Ani,whom I knew recognized the gesture. Hence to grate on my nerves more,she smiled melodramatically and proclaimed, "Ask him."
I was bewildered, what would I ask him in certain and this time when I pleaded Ani with my hopeless eyes,she groaned.She looked spooked too.Totally weird.
"What's wrong?",I inquired.
"Nothing,"she quipped.
"Just promise me before everything you will talk to him at first",Ani said before releasing my palm.
"Now off you go.Hurry."
