Sweet Chillies- Episode 2

(continued from episode 1)

Part 1

Aditya Balani was waiting near the Shalimar Groove, pacing about anxiously. The Shalimar Groove was this nice quite park with 2 Shalimar trees in the Panchgani Institute of Commerce and Economics campus. It was a favourite of all the lovers in the institute. But Love was not on Aditya’s mind.

That bitch must be burying herself under her avalanche of make-up, he thought with disgust. He was just thinking about how ugly her face looked without make-up when suddenly two moist hands clamped down on his eyes as someone lunged at him from behind.

He was about to shout RAPE RAPE! But then a female voice whispered in his ear, “Guess who it is, my pet?”

“Sarah! You crazy, psychotic mongoose!” he barked leaping away from her clingy form.

He should have guessed those wet sticky hands were hers. Sarah D’mello had a taap under her skin that someone had forgotten to turn off and as a result her palms were always wet and slimy like the back of a fish.

“You sound so cute when you insult!” she squealed.

“oh, do i? You want to hear some more?” said aditya angrily

“ no jaanu, I want to hear, the reason why you called me to such a romantic place on such a romantic evening.”

“ok. As you wish. Sarah I want to break up with you.”

“what? Surely you’re joking sweetiepie”. Damn she was so stupidly cute that he felt like pucnching her in the face.

“no am serious.”

“thats not possible. My shonu cant do this. Why would my rabbit do this?” she wailed.

“well he just did. Live with it. And there is someone else”

“NOOOO!” she cried and she turned around and suddenly bursting into hysterical sobbing, she began running away from him. Clearly she was running with her eyes closed because she banged into a lamppost and fell flat on her back.

Part 2.

A few days had past since the break-up. Sarah had still nnot recovered from the shock. She still had that stupid expression on her face which made her look like an ant-eater. She had taken to listening to sad songs on her I-pod all day. songs of the calibre of “Every night in my dreams” and other assorted Himesh Reshamiyya songs. Along with that she would often randomly burst into tears and scribble ‘I still love you’ on chits of paper, her hands(but it would get smudged due to the moisture) and desks and wherever else she could find place. Clearly she had not taken it in the right spirit.

One day she was sitting in class, alone and sad as usual when someone came and sat beside her. she looked up to find that it was Satyavardhan Singh.

“Hey what you up to?” he asked

“nothing much. Am just thinking whether hanging myself from the fan is better than swallowing poison.”

“swallowing poison anyday” came satya’s quick reply, “but why would a beautiful girl like you want to think about such ugly things?”

“you think am beautiful?”

“oh, hell yea! I think you’re quite a package!”

Sarah Began laughing, “some people don’t think so...”

“forget them” said satya, “give me a chance. Sarah, I have a HUGE crush on you. Go out with me please.”

Sarah laughed. “we’ll see.”

2 weeks later they were a couple.
