Indifference

Hello there! Glad you could make it back this week for another dose of Just Another Emotional Teenage Story. If you're comfortably set to read further, let's get on with it without any further ado. Just another way of saying Chaliye shuru karte hai, bina kisi chakbodi ke .

Was Leo's trusty friend doing this for the the greater good or was she jealous of what Leo and Ativna had? That's for you to decide. She spilled all the beans ever eaten. Indian Aunties in serials are better than this, for God's sake! The conversation which followed between the mushy couple, online, was interesting to say the least!

"Hey! I heard from one of your friends that you were bitching about me. Got something to say to me? Say it on my face!", typed Leo furiously. The reply came in like 5 seconds. "Arey!!!!! Kuch Bhi!!!!! Look, I don't know ki wo kya boli but agar tumko uspar zyada bharosa hai toh thik hai, I'm sorry for creating havoc in your life(😂😂 Cant believe she actually typed this!), never wanted to!! Have I ever fought with you??!! Tum to jaante ho ki agar humko kuch bolna hota hai toh hum bol dete hai".

 Ek maha purush ne kahan tha ki The amount of exclamation marks used in a sentence is directly proportional to the excitement in the sender's mind. Count them yourself! However, I would like to point that she was a lady of culture because of the usage of hum instead of the stupid and self-obsessive word mai. 

Now, in the mind of Ativna, this was a solid reply to Leo's strongly worded message. However, this stupid stupid biatch forgot that Leo hadn't been born yesterday. He knew all the ins and outs of fighting with the other kind, graciously and elegantly learned by fighting like a wild animal with his sister. He took out the weapon which she had least expected. It was a fudging Brahmastra of couple fights. He took out.... The Silent Treatment!!!! Brrr, did it just get cold in here!

For an entire month, he didn't as much as look at her. Total radio silence! After this period, when she couldn't take anymore, she took it upon herself to message him and this is one of the most cringiest messages I've ever read.
"I Love You, I'm Sorry. I want to talk to you. Please"- Ativna 2015.

Now, you might or might not have a question in your mind right about now! If there is so much going on between these lovey-dovey homo sapiens and if Percy was a sucker for these kind of stories, where the hell is he now? How did this asshole make things worse for them? In his defense, I have two points. First, You're right about the asshole part. Had he known  things were that serious between them, he would try to have some fun at their expense. Second, Leo and Percy had one of the biggest fights in the history of the bro code. They were on ignoring-each-other-aggressively basis. Yay for Non-Violence! I'll write this fiction spin-off series in one of the later posts. Right now, all you need to know is that the comedic relief of this story is no longer around and everything now is from Leo's POV.
Fun Fact: Leo had created his Facebook account on Percy's dump of a computer and all initial chats were seen by Percy before Leo shifted to his father's mobile.

Let's continue with the main story, i.e., Let the cringy text series continue from Ativna:
" You won't talk ???!!!! You trust her sooooo much??!! Koi kitni asaani se hamare beech misunderstanding create kar Sakta hai...please reply ! Leo please reply...Please please please please please please you're killing me. Please please please please please please please please please ..... reply please sorry!!!😭😭😭😭  ". Funnier Fact: This is the exact text received by Leo unabridged, except, of course, the name Leo . Even the number of "Please" and the the number of "o" in sooooo hasn't been changed. It's Classic Literature. Why would anyone change it?

So, your boyfriend isn't talking to you cuz he's angry. You can't call him cuz...India. You have no way of contacting him. What do you do? You stalk him, of course. Once, when Frank and Leo were playing football  at 4 in the evening before going to their tuition, Leo saw someone behind the nearby bushes peeking at them. Fearing for his life and to avoid getting kidnapped, he flipped out the flip phone which he had and started to call 1-0-0 when he saw the general "figure" of the person and his expression automatically changed from stark white in fear to green in disgust. Then, when he realized that there was something colorless and liquid-y coming out of her eyes, his expression changed, again, to laughter, albeit rather accidentally.

 Of course, this led to more tears and reluctantly, Leo went to talk to her. I, personally, do not know what Lovers talk about when they are upset with each other, or rather, what they talk about at all because I'm fully inexperienced in this aspect of life. If I had to guess, I would say that Leo went towards Ativna in a suave manner and wiped the tears out of her eyes. Then, he took her in his arms and leaned her at 45 degrees with respect to vertical axis while looking deeply into her eyes like they show in Bollywood and Hollywood. This is what they call, mentos zindagi.
Aam Zindagi was a bit different though. They talked about "stuff" by which I mean that Ativna explained herself and Leo looked at the ground so hard as if looking there would make him a multi billionaire like FRANK ZHANG! Haven't forgotten you buddy!

She completed her rant in the low low time of 30 minutes. 15 minutes of the rant was just her sobbing so it was all in all, a very productive session. After the entire rant, Leo's reply was a looooong  "Hmph". Then, he did the most logical thing possible at that time. He told Frank to rev up Frank's Activa Scooty and got the hell out of there. A very mature minded move!

I would eat something as bitter as Karela  if I could get the chance to see her face then. Also, football without Percy. That's sad!

That night itself, Leo replied to her first time in 2 months. "Okay, taking into consideration all of your pleadings, let's forget about it... I Love You", he typed. Kind of an Oxymoron, isn't it? Something like, Since you satisfied me by pleading to me a million times, let's forget about it! I might be wrong! Feel free to correct me.

Exhilarated by the fact that the love of her life had replied to her, she couldn't contain herself and said, "So can you get committed to me ?" Oh Snap! Oh Snap! They still aren't committed? How can this be? Ativna had done her pyaar ka izhaar a long time ago. This shouldn't be possible. If you go back and read the previous posts again, you'll see that Leo had never formally specifically said that they were being committed. Here you go, all misconceptions cleared.

They decided to meet the next day itself to tie the knot of commitment but , yeah, she stood him up. Tat for tit maybe? Fortunately (or maybe unfortunately) Leo let this one slide and they decided to meet up at a mutual free time. I haven't mentioned this yet, but after class 10 exams, Ativna and Percy decided to change the the school in which they studied, which in retrospect, was a bad idea. At this instant in the story, a news came out that the principal of their previous school (Leo's current school) was leaving and they decided to meet her at her last day in school. Thus, Ativna and Leo decided to meet that day.

Due to some "unforseen" circumstances, Percy couldn't go to his previous school to meet her and, I dunno, life went on.
Now, when 3000-6000 students want to meet you before you leave, you want to keep the meetings short and sweet so that you don't piss off these assholes at the final day. The school administration is smart this way. They devised a system where the entire school occupied our largest auditorium three classes at a time while the other classes could do whatever they wanted to do. The main love interest of this story made good use of this system.

Leo was oblivious to what would happen to him during this day and this makes me, the narrator/P man, chuckle with excitement. Leo, that day, had already met with sister principal and was just chilling in the classroom with his friends when a girl came in from another section. The catch is Leo had never talked to this girl before and his initial thoughts were let's see who this girl talks to in this class full of boys. It would be fun to make them uncomfortable.

The girl pointed towards Leo and asked him to come towards her. Instantly, the class became a hooting zone and people were cheering Leo as he managed to be with, not one, but two women. Hats off to him. Leo's face was as red as a tomato. He went towards her and asked what she wanted in a somewhat rude manner. However, his face changed to a deeper shade of red when she told him that Ativna wanted to meet him and she was waiting for him. That stupid woman couldn't even come to call him herself. Reluctantly he went with his guide.

There she was! The love of his life. The person with whom he was a bit upset right now. But who was he kidding? Certainly not himself. He loved her more than he loved football. And that was saying a lot. He needed to give her some tough love so that she wouldn't take him for granted but other than that, she was absolutely perfect for him.

He saw her waiting at the ground floor and went towards her. Just looking at him, moistened her. For all you pervy idiots, it moistened her eyes. "Why the funk is she crying again ?", said the other girl and went to console her friend. Leo went ahead with a "This is stupid" expression and then they talked.

You would expect by now that the annoying friend would leave them alone and go her way but nooo, Madamji had to stay there and act as the referee. She took her role as the referee a bit too seriously, so much so that she even blew the starting whistle by telling Leo to start the conversation. At first, Leo was a little uncomfortable by her presence but considering the alternative where Ativna would cry her eyeballs off and get him expelled from school, he let her stay. Of course, there was some crying nonetheless. She said sorry to him for the umpteenth time. Then she accused him of not being interested in her anymore. All this while Leo was trying very hard to stifle the constant bursts of laughter coming from deep within. After all the drama, finally Ativna got down on her knee and now it was Leo's turn to cry. "What The Fish? Was she Proposing? Parents will kill him! Have no money! Will be broke. Bitch is crazy!" These were just some of the sane thoughts going through Leo's mind.

Turns out it was just a single rose. Drama Queen much? Leo thought about his situation for a good 5 minutes before agreeing to this deal. I believe that his thoughts at that time mostly consisted of "This a crazy biatch! She's a stalker! She kill me! She get me expelled! She bad for health! Gotta do something fast!"

That's how the greatest couple I've ever seen came into existence and instantly they became boring! You were expecting something different, weren't you? Something like, they ran  away from home together and crossed all hurdles together to become a  the first couple to reach the net worth of 3 trillion (which is still half the net worth of Frank) ! So, the instant they promised themselves to each other, everything changed. There was no tension anymore. The talks began to get mushier with each passing day and this is the unbearable part. From looking at nail paints to sharing detailed personal things about each other, they had everything. Gross!

Ever had a moment in your life where you are watching a car which is absolutely going to crash and instead of helping them in any way, you sit down with a bowl of pop corn and enjoy the show? Never happened with you? Hmm, am I a psychopath? Probably! The next part of the story is the absolutely delicious car crash.

Finally, after the honeymoon phase, both of them snapped out of their bubble and that's when shit started getting real. This is the most exciting part. Finally, one day she mustered all the courage she had and said," I feel like we're killing this thing we have right now! We do not talk anymore! We don't meet. We don't even text each other. It seems like we're taking each other for granted. I'm feeling that maybe this was never meant to happen" Leo lost it at this point. "Wow Seriously??!!", he started. "You know what? I kind of had a feeling that you were different from the others but well it turns out that I was wrong the entire time. And remember the friend you invited to your birthday? She told me that you'd say something like this back then. Guess I should have listened to her and trusted her!".

"What's wrong with you??!! I thought that now that I'm your gf you'd be happy but no! You always seem fussy and you're never content!!!!!", she cried, presumably. "I don't feel like talking to you anymore!!!", ended Leo and that was the last time they ever talked. The end of the relationship was just as explosive as it's beginning. The next time they met, it was the same intensive ignoring-each-other-aggressively like mentioned before if not worse.

Two years after this incident Leo and Percy set aside their differences and became bros again. Both of them mutually agree that the misunderstanding was one of the worst things that ever happened to them. No chick should've been able to do this ever.

Epilogue: Life doesn't give a shit about any of the main characters, present here, and goes on. Leo and Ativna are still actively ignoring each other aggressively. Although, Percy, Frank and Jason can verify the fact that the ex-love birds still look longingly into each other's eyes sometimes but then turn their faces away. Leo and Frank are B-fams now as they are in the same college. Other than them, all others are in different cities. No wait, I guess Ativna and Jason are in the same university. Well, only Percy is alone then. That's depressing.


The author would like to add that he still wants Ativna and Leo to get back together. It's awesome when you get to beat a couple  on Valentine's day. Jai Bajrang Dal!

Posthumour

Alright people, I'm not gonna lie when I say that I was trying something new when I wrote the last one. It's apparently called the pseudo-truth method of writing. This happens when the narrator describes something from the first person point of view which may or may not be the truth. It certainly consists of things which are actually present in the real world in the vicinity of the narrator. In my case, I took the route from my college to my grandparents' house and escalated into this story. Well, can you blame me? I get bored in that God-Awful 2 hour journey and think of these things. I'm weird that way. Anyways, it's my bad that I didn't give you all a heads up and some people were genuinely concerned about my sanity. It feels good to be loved though. Link:  Click me This type of narration intrigues me and I'm gonna continue writing two or more stories like this. I should also say that I got this idea from reddit and you guys should definitely chec...

I was rage-baited

Time to get my creative juices floating again. I have been doing the video and audio format for so long now that it seems like the written format is not getting the love it deserves. It makes sense though since the written format takes the most time to create with how organized I have to make my thoughts. I can ramble on in the other ones but not this one. I know, first world problems in a third world country. I was talking to a friend in Jamshedpur ( Percy ) a few days ago about the deets in the big man city and got to know about an interesting development. There was a get together of some of my friends last week due to the 30th wedding anniversary of Mr. Hunter 's parents and from the photos, it seemed like a grand old money level party but I digress. In the party, Percy wanted to have some fun at my expense the reason of which I still do not know. I swear I have never made fun of him and bhabi ji ever with the mama y papa jokes in front of others but I believe it's time to ...

Thought Exercise - Part 1

If I had only known what was about to happen, I would probably have preferred to stay at home today... or maybe not. After Nolan's last movie "Oppenheimer", I thought that the first day first show would have to be a necessary watch and booked a ticket at AMB cinemas. I woke up early in the morning (earlier than I would have intended) and in my excitement, went 1 hour before I actually had to, to watch the movie. Probably should have stayed home a little bit longer and who knows? The awkward situation might not have arrived. I reached the theater 1 hour early and decided to roam the mall by myself. I tell myself that I went alone because no one is a bigger Nolan fan than I am but in reality, everyone was busy in their own life. Being the only bachelor in the friend group gives me a lot of time to explore alone because other people are busy being boring. I went to the food court to get myself a chicken roll and that's when I saw her. I had not seen that face in a long t...
