Chapter 11
He felt the mobile vibrate, next to him. It seemed he was intent on digging himself up a deeper hole than he already was in. This was her ninth call today, which he hadn't picked up. And it didn't seem like she would give up today. It was not like she was at fault here. The whole and sole blame was on his shoulders, and he very well knew that. He wasn't doing anybody good. But hey, it was not like stopping was in his hands either. She was almost like a lethal drug, the more he tasted her, the more he wanted to inject her in his veins. She made her feel complete. That was it. That was the only reason he went back to drown every day. She was everything Taani wasn't.
Taani was warm and fuzzy. Kria on the other hand, was cold. Very Cold.
Taani warmed him up, yet Kria was the same temperature he was.
Taani needed him. And he, well he realized this for quite some time now, that he needed Kria.
But Taani was already a major being in his life. And he knew he had committed a sin which amounted to no going back. So, he adapted to this way out. He just had stopped picking up her calls.
He closed his eyes, going back into the simpler times. He put his mobile's vibrate alert off too, to escape reality just for some time more.
"Aap mujhe yahaan kyun lekar aaye hai Rey?" she said.
He removed his hand that was caressing her face, and as if he had been spaced out, observed the vicinity. Where was he exactly?
Last he remembered putting his phone down and lying on his bed.
Oh! He was dreaming. Of course.
He realized he was in St. Louise's fire exit. Did he miss his previous college so much, that he was dreaming about it?
"Rey?" She seemed to question him, "Hum yahaan kya kar rahe hai?"
"Koshish..."He replied back, smiling into her eyes.
It was an amazing feeling, this... knowing that you are dreaming.
Her chocolate laden eyes pooled with curiosity, and she asked another question, "Kiski koshish?"
And his eyes danced with mischief. Ohh how he had missed this Kria.
The current Kria was fine and all that, but it was this innocent Kria he missed so much.
"Exactly."He replied to her, "Kiss ki koshish."
He moved his face near her, and felt her goosebumps rise. It amazed him how he still felt insane delight on watching her squirm under his will. She was so pure back then. His Kria.
Not like she had any impurities right now. Except the fact that she left him to rot alone, everything was still the same with her.
He felt her shove him away, and like the natural reaction it was, he pulled her back to him.
"Rey... Chodhiye naa mujhe. Bhai ne dekh lia toh?" The girl who thrashed back into his chest squealed.
Taani? WTF?
He felt his hands go cold, and gulped down the fear arising in his heart. He was cheating on her. And here, she still was, the same, innocent, pure, woman-child that he loved so much.
"Accha sirf ek kiss. Bas! Uske baad jaane do aap mujhe." She misinterpreted the shock in his eyes as something else.
He felt himself leaning in to her, while she made contact with his rough lips, warming them to her own warm temperature.
A chilly shiver ran down his spine, travelling to the edge of his fingertips and toes, making him jolt up and come back to reality.
He felt the mobile light flicker, though for only a brief second or so.
He reached out for it, to see who had messaged. Of course, he knew who. But some tiny part of his heart wanted the other who to message.
'Remember, I will always love you.'
He read the message, and felt a lump forming in his throat.
How wrong was he now.
And how had he landed up in this position?
Reyaansh Singhania, the Superhero.
He wanted to burn at stake. He never had been this wrong in his whole life. This was so new, so utterly disgusting, that he just wanted to go bury himself in a grave somewhere.
He threw the mobile under a pillow, and wound up finishing the assignments for the project.
"Kiri... Are you really waiting for me to say something?" He asked her, after what felt like eternity of her explaining the dynamics of her relationship with Reyaansh Singhania.
She seemed to have spent all her words previously, when she told him, how she left him. When she showed him those stacked up letters, fearing he would consider her a psycho of sorts. When she had finished, he had gone completely silent. And she really didn't know what to say anymore. So, she just nodded.
"I really can't say anything. It's not my place to comment." He sincerely told her, as it really wasn't his story there. Rey was, and to some extent, as he now knew, still is an inexplicably important part of her life. So, how could he, selfishly remove Rey from Kiri's life.
"Please... I need to know that you don't consider me a psycho or something!" She managed to choke out.
"Sorry. The one thing that I can say is, He is insane, your mom is also insane, and you, my love, definitely are insane too." He breathed out, chuckling a bit at the end.
She seemed to have found his statement extremely satisfying, and laughed her heart out with him too. As he managed to see her back to her radiant form, he excused himself for the night, as he was extremely tired and needed some real alone time to think and process what Kria had told him.
An old song seemed to hum in some hostel room nearby his, and he couldn't help but laugh at the monstrosity of resemblance his Kiri's life was to that Pink Floyd number.
He started humming it too...
"And everything under the sun is in tune...
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon."
[So... how was it? And yeah, the song by pink floyd is not owned by me.. hehehe! its a song called eclipse. If you want to, you can check it out]
