By the time I reached Avi's house bustling through the after job traffic of Hyderabad, it was almost 8. The lights in Avi's and Ravali's room were out. Weird. The door was locked so I went inside the house using the spare key I have. Avi was sitting in the living room, watching television. Seriously! "Hey bro, you really came?" asked a surprised Avi.
"Avi, is this some kind of a lame joke? 'Cuz I really missed the humor in it. You call me saying it's serious and you pretend to cry and when I come, I see you relaxedly ask if I really came." I was starting to get angered seeing Avi smile.
"Hey hey cool down feisty. I really was sad. I'm sorry if you were enjoying the party and I disturbed you." Avi and his poker face. I really hate it when he wantedly makes his face expressionless. "You know what Avi, just get lost." I was angry that I had been played with. I started to move towards the staircase to Ravali's room. "Saha just wait, there is something I wanna tell you" shouted Avi. I stopped and came back to the living room and propped down on the sofa. "Umm, it's just that I found out something" "What is it, Avi? Does that relate to our thing?" I was getting excited already forgetting my anger over him.
"Yes, it's that I actually got an internship opportunity at a company and I don't." "That's great Avi. Yeah, congratulations I suppose. I'll be on my way home. It's getting late" I was devastated. I couldn't take any more of this. I always thought of Avi as my best friend, my brother, and the one who always was, and would be at my side. But I was wrong. It was wrong of me to trust anyone. Even my own tears. They were starting to come out. "Good luck Avi. Bye"
One thing which I found out was that one cannot ride a bike with tears skimming in their eyes. It was a good experiment, Saha. I couldn't bear the fact that Avi was not gonna be with me forever. It felt like my whole life has shattered into pieces. I just don't know what was gonna happen to me next. My parents are not someone whom I can hold on to my entire life, I very much received a blow from the person whom I didn't even expect to betray.
So here I am alone. Hey don't count the maids and cooks. My parents away not wanting to be with me on even my graduation, my boyfriend I mean my ex-boyfriend whom I dumped for my best friend I mean my ex-best friend. What a life dear. I told my maid to not let anyone come to the house. I went to the room where I and Avi spent all of my childhood. There were many memories relating to us. I couldn't take it anymore. I cried till my eyes were void of all the tears and my heart void of all feelings.
