MY BEST FRIEND
"Pooja,
its me Faye's mummy."
"Hi,
mummy . How are you? Are you okay? Are you crying? What happened? Where is Faye
?"
"I
got a call from her. She said that her marriage is over with a Muslim
boy."
"What...???
When???"
"Just
now. Did you know anything about this?
Who
is that boy pooja? Please tell me
anything if you know. I beg you."
"No
mummy. I don't know. Does she say any name? stop crying mummy, we will figure
it out..."
"Isad,no
other details"
"Did
you tell to papa ? What did he say ?"
"No,
he doesn't know yet. Pooja call me if you get any details...okay ??"
"okay mummy"
Faye, my best friend married a Muslim boy?
Without telling to me...? Oh My God...!!! Please, that will be some mistake....will
it ??
She
can't go like that. She will not go. She is in love with Sharath. How can she
marry a Muslim...??
Wait....
May be it will be Sharath. Isad will be some fake name. It will be him...right
God ...?
No....but
he is in Dubai, How can he marry her? May be he came without saying to
anyone. Quick call him.....
"Hey...Sharath...it's
me. Where are you ? In Dubai ?? or here ??"
"Hi,
Pooja. I am here itself.In Dubai. Why ? Is everything okay ?"
God,
now what? It's not him. It is really someone named Isad. She really did it. But
why? Who the hell is this Isad? She had never mentioned a name like that
before. May be someone trapped her. Otherwise she can't do this. She is my best
friend. She tells me everything.
"Pooja,
are you there? What happened ? "
"Nothing
Sharath. It's....it's.....ummm....I saw someone like you"
"Sure...?
Is everything ok? Why am I getting a
feeling that you are lying"
"Sharath...Faye's
mummy called me. She said that her marriage is over with a Muslim boy. I
thought that it's you."
"What
? Marriage? You must be joking right? Which Muslim boy? What the hell are you
tell you telling Pooja ?I am here,in Dubai."
"Sharath,
it's true. Her marriage is over. With a guy named Isad."
"No
way...."
"Yes
Sharath. It's over. I am telling the truth."
Click.
"Sharath...?
Sharath....???"
I
should have known this. Everyone was telling bad about her. I didn't believe. I
had know her for the last two years. The one who knows all my secrets. My best
friend. I know her mum,sister,dad. May be its true.
Was
she a flirt? Why did she cheat Sharath? Why is making her mum cry? Why?? God??
Why did you allow this??
I
hate her. She is not my friend anymore. I will slap her if I saw her somewhere.
She will pay for this, for making everyone sad.
"Pooja,...?"
"Mummy...?
Did she call you? Is she okay? Was that true? "
"Yes
, Pooja. She came to the court today. She said she want to go with Isad. Said
she trust him."
"And
then you allowed. Why shouldn't you call her back...??"
"She
is 19, Pooja. We can't do anything. it's the court's decision. Pooja, you will
never go like this, will you ? If you are plannig to,drop it.It will make
everyone sad dear. Don't do it,please. I lost my daughter. Never let your parents cry like this."
"No,mummy.
I won't. I promise."
"Take
Care,child."
Days passed, I was travelling to my sister's
house in the vacation.
"Stop
the car. What's happening there? Let me look."
There
was Police everywhere, people running towards the spot. I too ran to the scene.
it was a dead body of a girl. I know her from somewhere. I went near to have a
clear vision. Yes there lay MY BEST
FRIEND.
