their lives. Vikrant was one of them. He knew that Sanaya was Anurag’s girlfriend and taking a chance on her would be risky for the entire band. He decided to take a back seat but didn’t erase her thoughts completely from his mind.
‘Did Anamika break up with Anurag that night?’ Sakshi asked Vikrant.
‘Anamika didn’t like the way Anurag treated her. She was not a sex toy, God dammit. He had tried to get physical with her against her will. Now that’s not the right way to prove your manhood or treat your girlfriend. He later on claimed that he truly loved Anamika and was sorry for that night but Anamika didn’t give a fuck.’
‘You mean he approached her later?’ I asked curiously.
‘Yes. He did. Not the next day. Anamika expected him to approach her the next day but that didn’t happen. In fact on Monday, 27th August, we met Sanaya in the metro as I told you before. I knew things would get worse. Anamika had unknowingly disclosed to Sanaya that she never wanted a long-term relationship. Sanaya wanted an opportunity to show her superiority over Anurag and she got that.’
‘How bitchy is that. Why the hell did she tell Anurag about it when she hardly cared?’ I shouted.
‘Girls will be girls, after all,’ he smiled and continued, ‘Ask Sakshi what she would have done in case she would have got to know that her ex-boyfriend was dating a girl who never loved him but just used him as a protective shield? She would have told him he was a loser. Sanaya did the same.’
I still wondered what Sanaya was going to gain from it. I guessed that this would be the only reason that the band performance got screwed. I was curious to know Anurag’s reaction.
‘Then what happened? Did Anurag hit…’ I asked but Vikrant interrupted.
‘No. He tried to. As he got to know the dark reality behind their relationship, he approached Anamika the next day with his group of friends. He abused her badly and tried to pounce on her. Yuvi was unavailable that time in college but luckily I was present. There were some blows exchanged and before the situation could get worse, some students stopped both parties. Anurag left the place and didn’t come in her way again. Anamika didn’t react to the entire scenario but was worried about how Yuvi would react once he came to know about it.’
‘Oh yes. He had already warned her many times,’ Sakshi said.
‘I think Yuvi and Kashish were the luckiest. They had a smooth relationship and everything was going well. Isn’t it?’ I smiled.
‘Yes. You are right. They were one such couple whom you could look up to. Kashish stood by him whenever he needed her and that is what you expect from your love,’ Vikrant added.
Taking care of a man is not a tough job. All you need to do is pamper him and stay by him when he needs you. No other special gifts are needed. However, taking care of a woman is a challenging job. This is especially true if you are her boyfriend and trying to figure out what she wants. Yuvi had managed to do that for a long period. Anamika wished for someone like Yuvi who could lighten her life. Vikrant craved for his love Sanaya to walk into his life and make his life worth living. Sanaya had moved on but was not ready to accept Vikrant’s proposal. Anurag was suffering the same pain of betrayal that he had given to other girls in the past. Now when he had really started loving Anamika, he had got a slap on his face. The sound of that slap echoed so loudly that it hurt his ego.
None of us knew whether they would really be together or end upalone. If they did meet, then what would be the outcome?
‘Vikrant, tell me one thing. Did all this affect your band? What happened later?’
‘Yes it did. It not only affected us, it ripped us apart.’ He closed his eyes and I could see tears rolling down.
