Chapter 38

Damini's POV



" For god's sake stop this and tell me why you say that?? What have I done to you? Tell me what you think I know very well. I swear I have been dying to know that..." He said as if he didn't know.

" Don't act... I saw you on that day."

" What day??? What did you see ??? "

" Let it be... " I didn't want to remember all that.

" NO !! You tell me... What did you see? Why are you behaving as if I am some kind of a jerk ?? "

" Because you are... "

" Explain !! "

" Ok. if you want me to spell it out for you, then fine, I will tell you what I saw. I will remind you of it. After that just stay away from me as I already know the truth. "

" I am waiting to know, what I did..."

" I saw you with your date... Having a cosy time eating her face. "

" What ?? When ?? Where?? How?? I never did that... "

" I saw you with my own two eyes, so don't act smart. You may be smart, but I am not stupid. "

" Are you crazy??? Do you even know what are you talking about? "

" I am not crazy. In fact, that day I came to know about reality. "

" Damini, you are mistaken. " He said holding both my shoulders.

" No, I saw your reality with my own eyes. " I told him about the place where I saw him.

I jerked away from him but he caught my hand and pulled me again to him.

" There is some misunderstanding... I never kissed anyone. "

" I saw you kissing that girl Nidhi. Don't you dare to deny it? "

" Who is this Nidhi? "

" Oh!!! Already forgotten her. C'mon Sagar, You were trying for so long to have a date with her. "

" I think you had some bad dream or something, it is not reality. I never did anything like that. I don't even know any Nidhi. "

" Yes, why not?? She used to live near your place. You were trying to date her for so many months and finally, you got the chance. Don't try this innocent look on me. I saw you telling all this to that girl named Preeti. "

" Who the hell is this Preeti now? What is going on? "

" Sahil's girlfriend, who slapped you. "

" Why would Sahil's girlfriend slap me? "

" Wow, you are behaving as if it never happened. Ok, I will remind you, you were there kissing that girl Nidhi. That girl Preeti slapped you very hard as she thought that you were Sahil. "

" Damini, I seriously think that you must have dreamt this all. None of this ever happened. "

" Are you saying that I am making it up? "

" I am not saying that... But how do I accept it when it did not happen? "

" Oh please, stop that... by the way, did Nidhi talk to you again?? Did she give you another chance to take her on a date? "

" Damini listen, there must be some confusion. I have never been to any date till now."

" Oh yes?? And I am Miss Universe. "

" What?? "

" You said something that is not true so I also did the same... "

" Please, listen !! the girl, I have been alone with, other than my mother or sister, is you. "

" Ha ha ha. You are hilarious. "

" I am serious. "

" You want to say that I was hallucinating?? "

" I don't know, but maybe it was Sahil. "

" I thought so, but then you said to her that you were Sagar. Then you made a phone call to Sahil and let him tell his girlfriend that it was you, Sagar."

" What are you saying.. it never happened ?? "

" Wow !! You don't trust me and expect me to trust you. Wait, I have proof. "

I took out my phone found Anshu's number in my contacts and called her. The bell was ringing. She picked up on the 4th ring.

" Hi, Damini !! How are you? So you finally got time to call me? "

" Hi, Anshu!! I am good, how are you? Anshu do you remember the day when we went to that place to celebrate your parents' anniversary? " I put the speaker of the phone on.

" Yes. Of course. Why, what happened? " Anshu asked.

" Do you remember what we saw when we both went for the walk alone? "

" Absolutely. It is crystal clear in my mind. Why are you asking about it? We decided that we would never talk about that ummm... him. " She was confused now.

" Do me a favour and repeat what we both saw, please... "

" Ya, ok... " And then she repeated each and everything so clearly as if she had just a video clip of that moment.

" Thanks, Anshu, I will call you back. Bye, take care..."

" You too, bye and make a programme to meet me. I am dying to meet you. "

" I will, bye, " I disconnected the phone and looked at him. He was so surprised and shocked. He was thinking, as if was trying to recall it, but it seemed that he could not do it.

" I don't know, what is happening?? First of all, I don't even know any girl named Nidhi. I don't even know if she lived near my place. Second thing, I have never been to any date till now. I didn't go on any date that day too. But if you both saw me it could only be Sahil."

" But, as we told you that when that girl Preeti slapped you, you said that you were Sagar. Even we thought that it was him. But you proved that it was you, Sagar.. "

" I have never done that, maybe it was Sahil. You know how he is. He must have said that to save his ass. Wait, let me call Sahil. "

" There is no need, I know what we saw and hear. "

" But you are accusing me of doing something which I have never done. So, let me prove that it was not me. "

" But, then that day you proved that the guy who got slapped by two different girls that day was Sagar... Today you want to prove that he was Sahil. Why should I trust you? "

" Wait... let me call him," he called his brother again.

But his phone was switched off. He called again but it was switched off.

" His phone is switched off right now."

" Let it be Sagar, I don't care. It doesn't matter now. "

" Well, it does matter to me and I know that it does matter to you too. "

" Think whatever you want. Leave me alone. "

" No!! Never. "

" Trust me Sahil must have said that because that girl Preeti saw him with another girl. So, he took advantage of having a twin to get out of that situation."

" And how do I know, if you are not doing the same thing? Maybe you are also trying to shift the blame on him to get out of this situation. " I said and he shook his head.

" Well... Just a few minutes back you thought I was Sahil. Until I started behaving like myself. We are identical twins Damini but our behaviour is different altogether. " He said but I didn't say anything.

" Do you think, we both behave in the same manner? He flirts with everyone and I don't even think about anyone else. "

" Sagar, please leave me alone, I am tired and I want to sleep."

" Have you ever seen me looking at another girl?? Oh, c'mon yaar... Even the peon of the school knew my feelings for you. They were and still are genuine. "

" It doesn't matter now, it is too late."

" Yes, It is 10 years late. But you should have confronted him then and there, you had every right to ask what was going on?? If you thought, it was me, You should have slapped me at that moment only. If you had confronted him/ me at that time, we would not have suffered so much. I loved you. I still love you. I know you don't want to marry him. I will not let you marry him. " He said and got out of my room.

Oh god!! was it Sahil??
