Chapter 31

Damini's POV

Flashback



I was happy that day. Anshu called me to invite for an outing with her family as they were celebrating her parents' anniversary.

My parents allowed me to go with them. I was happy after a long time.

We reached there, It was a happening place, which was liked by people of all ages. It had a nice musical fountain garden, Which made it a hit place for family picnics. It was a hot favourite with youngsters at it had a nice restaurant with romantic settings.

I was excited to tell Anshu about what my parents said that day. So when we got a chance, we both excused ourselves and went to take a walk.

I told her everything and she was so excited and just then Anshu was shocked to see something or... Someone. "Sagar?? " She said.

I turned to see and saw that he was there with a girl wearing a skimpy dress. They were sitting near a hideout kind of setting created for dating.

I was shocked to see him. But then I thought that it could be Sahil too. So we laughed about it. He was always flirting with girls.

They both were engrossed in kissing each other. He was holding her very tightly and his hands were roaming on her body. We were still looking at them and giggling quietly when another girl came and slapped him hard.

Ouch!!! His face lost its colour and he looked embarrassed and shocked

" What are you doing here Sahil? You were saying that you had to go out with your mom. She doesn't look like your mom." She said looking at another girl with disgust.

Thank God !! He was Sahil... I had a doubt that he was Sahil but it was confirmed now.

Very good... He deserved that slap, always flirting with girls. We were enjoying the show.

He looked at the girl who slapped him and said, " Excuse me ?? Who are you?"

" Oh, Wow!!! Great just great!!! So you forgot my name too. Great Sahil! Well, I am Preeti. Your girlfriend... I hope you remember me now. " She said sarcastically.

The girl he came with slapped him too and went away... He kept calling her but she ignored him.

" Oh, wait a minute. I know what is the confusion. I am not Sahil, I am Sagar. His twin. You should at least ask before slapping someone. You just spoilt my date with her. What would she think about me? " He said and we could not laugh at it. I was shocked as hell. I thought he was Sahil.

" What? No, you are Sahil only." That girl Preeti said.

" Oh please, I am Sagar. Sahil is with our mom, he had to take her to see her doctor. "

" No, you are lying. " She said and somehow, I was also hopeful that he was.

" Oh, you don't trust me?? Fine, I will prove it to you. Wait, I will call him, you can talk to him. "

I could not even hear my own heartbeat.

He called him on phone." Sahil, What yaar, your girlfriend doesn't even trust you? I got slapped because of you, I was here on a date and your girlfriend came and slapped me. My date also slapped me. Now please talk to Preeti. She thinks that I am Sahil. I tried to explain but she is not listening.

Please tell her yaar that I am Sagar. Tell her to say sorry to me for spoiling my date and then leave me alone. " He gave the phone to that girl. She talked to his brother on the phone and then apologized to him.

" Sorry Sagar, I thought that you were Sahil. You are just like him. "

" Yes, we are identical twins. " He said with a smile.

" But who was that girl? " Nidhi asked.

" She was my date Nidhi. She lives near my place. She is hot... I was trying to talk to her for so many days. I mean, it would be great to have a girlfriend like her. Right? Well, I was trying to take her to a date. You don't even know, how many efforts I have taken to have her as my girlfriend. But she was not coming... I somehow persuaded her to come with me. Everything was going well till you came. "

" I am extremely sorry..."

" It was my first date with her. Thanks to you, it was last too. She won't even talk to me now. "

" I am sorry, give me her number, I will explain everything to her, I will tell her."

" Let it be... she is a bit stubborn. She won't even listen to you. I would not like her shouting at you. After all, you are Sahil's girlfriend. I will try to explain it to her. But, if she doesn't listen, then let it be... "

" I am feeling bad for you... "

Was he the same boy who claimed that he was madly in love with me??

Was he the same one who has been singing romantic songs looking at me?? Whose eyes follows me everywhere??

Was he the one, who fought with our senior for me ?? Who looks at me with such intense and dreamy eyes??

" Ummm... by the way Nidhi, now that my date has gone and will not talk to me again, could you introduce me to some other girl?? Maybe some friend of yours or sister or cousin?? "

" So you don't have anyone special in your life? " The girl asked.

" No," Sagar said.

I did not realise that I was crying by now. I thought that it was Sahil, but I guess, I made a mistake. I thought Sagar was different.

He said, it doesn't matter if I like him back or not, but he would keep loving me. I guess those were mere words.

He was a good actor, who played his role well. I was so stupid, my heart broke that day and I kept standing there like a statue.

Vikas bhaiya came to drop me at home with Anshu. He was tense and shocked to see me like that. He was fuming and asked me, why I was crying, at least a hundred times, But I told him that I had a headache.

I knew, he didn't buy that but he kept quiet.

My parents were still worried to see me like that. I told them that I wanted to go away. They didn't ask me anything and made arrangements for me to go to the USA with the help of Mathur uncle as he had contacts there.

I went to school the next day our exams were going on and only two exams were left.

I saw him smiling at me, but I averted my eyes from him. I didn't want to see his face. I didn't want to get weak in front of him. I gave my exam and came out of class, 5 minutes earlier and then left for home, before he could see me.

I did the same thing on the day of my last exam. I wanted to avoid him at any cost as I did not want to see his face. I was disgusted with him.

We had the holidays after the exam and my parents had made arrangements for me and I went away to end this chapter here.

I wanted to start a new chapter there but all I could think was about him. Many boys in my school and university wanted to date me, but I couldn't move on.

Once a guy persuaded me to go on a date with him, he was very nice, decent kind of a boy, but I backed out at the last minute. I always compared every guy with him.

I tried to leave everything back and move on in my life. But his smile, his eyes, his stubbornness, his confession and his betrayal haunted me like anything.

Whenever any guy tried to talk to me, he invaded my thoughts. I had loved him and I could never move on...
