Read part 1 first
My mouth opened wide in shock. I
was speechless. Finally I gathered up my strength and spoke
-“BREAK-UP? But that’s supposed
to happen when you have a boyfriend? Everyone knows that you have been single
all your life!”
-“No one knows me enough, it’s
been three months since I am committed”
I didn’t know what to say. I have
known her for a whole year, she had always been with us, She had always behaved
as a single girl did. We never saw her put on makeup and go out, or talk on the
phone to anyone except her mother, which never lasted for more than 5 minutes
in a day. Then when did the boyfriend get in her life? Where did she fit him in
his schedule?
-“Tell me everything”, I was
curious
-“I will. I will tell you each
part of it.”
-“But, but I never saw you with a
guy, you never went out, you were never even on the phone”
-“Have you ever noticed me texting
at night?”
-“yeah”
But I have noticed texting her
the whole year, all the time, the whole day. She was addicted to sms-ing. I
even have a feeling that the new TRAI sms rule was applied because of her. She
was a tom-boyish type of girl. By tom-boyish I don’t mean the one with short hair and wears guy type clothes. She is a girl who mixes a lot with all types of boys. She
is a girl who has survived a whole year in this college without anyone ever
doubting her to have a boyfriend irrespective of the fact that she talks to and
roams around with so many boys.
Even I, her room-mate never got a
hint about it. I mean she is a sleepless girl, god knows when she sleeps, she
is always texting one or the other friend. Not a single soul ever had a hint of
her having a boyfriend
Smriti started narrating the
story. I knew this was going to be a long night.....
P.S-Next part up on 13th March.....
