Apple and Orange - Episode 6

Apple and Orange by vino4d - Episode 6

I was being separated from my pets for nearly a week. All five days I called my mom to asking about the well being of the turtles.

There, I wasted my time with my buddies by merely talking about success. And I also like to meet two girls on Chennai in those five days. One was fighter cock, moody girl and my crush. Another one was my first girl FRIEND, my most favourite girl and stubborn queen.

First, I scrolling contacts on the smartphone screen and paused at alphabet 'T'

Thimuru pudicha ponnu

I made a call by tapping the contact.

"When I will come to meet you?" I walked front and back on terrace as held the cellphone.

"Why you want to meet me." Her voice was calm.

"Hey. Last week, you told me that we will meet on chennai if I come there. Now what happened?" 

"Hm.. was I said that?" She poorly acting like memory loss patient.

"Are you kidding?" I stopped my walk.

"No, what we will do.. first why we will meet eachother" she said over the phone in undefinable tone.

Why we meet. Wow. She telling me was her friend herself and also telling why I meet you. Where is the damn logic here?

"Leave this girl. She had no interest then why you distrubing her" my brain—was egomanic in this girl affair— interrupting me.

But I am not listening to my brain. Which man listen to the brain at woman's matter. I asked her twice. She repeating the same answer with various reasons—what if my relatives seen us, how I travel alone, and so on.

"Okay. I leave the topic"

"Hmm. We will meet some other time at our hometown." She said.

Second the stubborn queen,

" Can we have a meet" I requested her.

"Ahn.. meeting.. ah?" Her extended voice delivered the hesitation.

"Yep" I said, injecting my long hair into its cap and squatted on confines wall.

"Actually, I had some work and also had business meeting at workplace." She said over the phone.

"So what about the evening, after work?"

"Evening.? I can't tell when my work was over. Its depends on the work." 

"Oh. I would leave chennai yesterday. But I staying for meet you" I said.

"Why? you go home." She said quickly as lightening.

But it, thunder for me. What a great insult! No one was insulted me at this fast.

"Its fine. I will meet you at tomorrow evening." I said, " just tell me when your work was finished"

"Hmm. Ok" her voice was dead.

So, I going to meet my most favourite girl. I told to one of my friend—he is god's cub—that—

 "we two go to meet her tomorrow evening"

"So come back to home early"

"Or ask permission for an hour and come"

—and so on. He nodded like fat cow for every statement.

Next day, I awaited for him. He arrived home then entered into toilet. I checked clock every minutes. The time was running, but he was sitting in toilet for shitting. After a couple of decades minute, he stepped out and flattened on floor.

"Come on, get ready man. We running late" I kicked him.

"What?.. where da?" he said and readjusting the pillow 

"I told you to accompanying me for meet my friend" I said. 

"Oh I am tired. Look how pity I am" he rolled his body.

I tried to lifting him up with my bare hands, he was weighed really the fat cow. 

"Lazy f**ker, getup.." I struggled with him. After big royal rumble battle, he readied up with one condition.

"Say her to come half of the distance and we travel other half." He said, "you say now in front of me then I will come"

F**ker. Even I traveled to her house and tapped the door, she was thinking million zillion times to see me. But you said me tell her to come half the distance. How she do da?..

"What are you looking" he waved his hands on opposite of my faces, "call her now" 

"Calling her ah!"

"I don't know what she will reply! " I thought myself.

I phoned her. 

Tring. Tring.

He pinned at me.

"Don't watch my mouth, I will say that. Now go and put the shirt" I screeched to him. He went to put a shirt.

She attended the call.

"Hello"

"It's me. When your work was finishing today"

"I don't know. And I can't think there is chance for meeting today. Tight schedule. Too hard" she jumbled the reason.

"I just asked her one simple question but she answering tons" I thought

"Okay. I am not coming."

"Hmm. Just go home. Why you wasting the time here" she said

"Ok. I will" 

I ended call and put the phone on pocket.

"First girl was far more better than this one. She said we will meet some other time, atleast for manners. But this one…"

I was disappointed—not because of the reply, because of the person.

The God's cub went out with perfect outfits like bridegroom and said, "can we go.."

As viewing dark sky, I was drinking the yesterday's leftover whiskey and thinking about the both girls.

Why they are reacted like this. 

Definitely there was some reason for that. Because every emotions had reasons, so. 

I may unknowingly made mistakes at first or before or past. But I knowingly made many mistakes at past.

I behaved as rude, brainless, stupid and worst to both of girls. I hurt them consciously. And ofcourse they also hurt me more or less as I did.

Karma is a bitch, right.

I deserved everything what happens to me.

"She doesn't want to meet me" I said to the God's cub. He went terrace to call me for dinner.

"Leave it da.. maybe she really had tight schedule" he tried to convincing me.

" Forgot the word. Her tone relieved clearly that she doesn't like to meet me" I said and sipped the whiskey.

"Maybe she have some other stress or problem. So the tone was slack." he said logically.

Sounds reasonable.

"What do you think?" He shook my shoulder.

"I want to talk to her" I replied him.

"Then talk" he tapped my shoulder and left.

I gazed him and the whiskey—it gonna empty by few sips.

"Are you avoiding me?" I asked over the phone.

F**k. It was first thing I thought to not asking her. But I asked this at first.

"Not like that.." Stubborn queen said as stretching the words little bit.

Then I talked casually and she also replied casually. The conversation lengthened about nearly thirty minutes—maybe less than thirty, it was long time, I forgot the exact numbers. I was little happy than before.

God's cub for the reason.

I smiled and gulped the whiskey and went down from the terrace.
