Love Trap – Part 19

“Hmm…. Hmmm…” I adjusted my throat.
“Poo… Pooja….. I….. I love you” I said in a husky voice after a struggle.
I tried to look into her eyes... but ended up in a failure.
She stared at me and gave a deep sigh.
I sensed that something was wrong.
She kept quiet by holding her hands crossed and continued staring at me.
“Pooja... I…” I tried to say something... But I was interrupted by her bold voice.
“Stop it Karthick!!!!” she said harshly.
I blinked blankly.
“I mean it Pooja… I am telling it from the bottom of my heart… I love you like anything!!!” I said everything in a rush without knowing what was in her mind.
“To how many girls will you tell the same?????” she asked in an irritated tone.
I was taken aback by her question.
“What???????????” I was literally confused.
“I never believed when others told about you... But now seeing it myself!!! How could you behave like this Karthick???” She asked me.
“Pooja... what are you talking about??? I don’t understand???” I said.
“Do you think I would show my teeth and come behind you when you say so???? Is this what you are thinking about girls… huh???? How cheap you are??? She started shouting.
“Pooja... Please relax… I think you misunderstood me…??? I tried to calm her down.
But she made me to lose my temper.
“You might be a playboy... but don’t ever play your filthy games with me and try to fool around me…” she said firmly.
That’s it. She triggered my ego.
“Hey… Mind your words…” I raised my voice as a result of frustration.
“Don’t raise your voice against me… It’s you who has to mind about what you are doing… Don’t ever use love for your fun you pervert!!!” she said it straight.
(Slapping sound)
I slapped her strongly in a reflex… I couldn’t take her words. I went out of my mind.
Her pink cheek turned reddish. I saw my finger prints on her cheek.
She kept her hand on her right cheek. I saw a glimpse of tears which were above to roll down from her eyes.
When I realized that I did a mistake... It was too late.
“Pooja… I am…. “I was above to ask sorry, but she didn’t let me speak.
“Enough……………!!! She said in a low voice.
I looked at her without knowing what was happening around me.
“I am done with you... I don’t ever wish to see you again in my life Karthick... Goodbye!!!” she said and started walking back by crying.


Kanika came opposite to her.
“Hey... What happened...? Why are you crying Pooja???” she asked her.
“Take me back to home!!!” she said to kanika by wiping her tears.
“Why de????” she asked in a confused tone.
“Will you please stop asking questions and take me back home????” Pooja shouted like anything.
Kanika understood something terribly happened. Without asking further questions she took her back to home.
I stood there silently.
“That’s it Karthick… Your love came to an end!!!” I heard my mind voice.

I took the love greeting card from my rear side pocket.
It was a medium sized digital greeting card.
Its front cover was pure white in color with a hand carrying a red colored heart at its center.
That card was designed so romantically. It brought both the essence of joy and pain of love in its look.
I thought the person who designed this card should be loved, to portrait the joy of love or should be in love like me, to capture the pain of it.

I opened the card. To the right side of the card, there was a digital image of a heart pumping in rhythm with a beat sound. It emerged out the word “LOVE” whenever it pumps and LOVE floats throughout the page.

I saw the printed words in the card. It states…
“Love is a miracle which happens only with those who wishes to die to make their love alive….!
Love becomes eternal only for the braves who struggles with universe to stop from letting their love go away…!”
I looked at Pooja... I thought I had let her go away from me!!!
I saw the words written by me at the end of the card.
“Pooja,
Don’t get angry over me for not mentioning any affectionate words before your name.
The reason is, I don’t wanna bound my affection on you in a word!!!
You would have heard that mother’s love is the best love in this world.
Once you start living with me, you will disagree with it.
You would have heard about epic love only in stories.
Once you start living with me, you will feel it on your own.
You would have heard about the happiest person in tales.
Once you start living with me, you will set yourself as an example for it.
I am assuring you that I will let you cry only when you shape our love by giving birth to our child.
I Love You Pooja!!! I Love You As Always I Do…!”

Wish to be Yours Lovingly,
Karthick

When I was above to close the card, tear glands from my eyes dropped down on the card and left a mark on it.


Kumar was standing approximately 50 meters away from me and talking with other friends.
He didn’t see anything happened over there, because that path was covered with trees.
I walked towards kumar like a dead piece.
By looking at my face, he understood something went wrong.
So he came towards me before I reaches the place, where rest of my classmates have gathered around.
“Hey... What happened da??? You are looking like a zombie???” he asked.
“I wanna go home kumar” I said softly.
“Why Machi… just an hour before only we came???” he asked in confusion.
“I wanna cry… but don’t want others to see it…” while telling that my voice almost got broken.
He understood my state of mind.
“Ok I will drop you home in my bike. If you ride now, I am afraid you won’t make it home…” he said.
I stood still without saying a word.
“Rajesh……..” kumar called one of my classmates.
“Yeah machi…..” Rajesh came near to us.
“Huh... I am not feeling well... Severe headache. So I am going home in karthick’s bike…
While coming back you take my bike and leave it in my home machi” Kumar told him.
“Hey... what da???? It’s you who have planned everything buddy... Guys would feel bad dude” he said.
“Yeah I understood buddy... but I couldn’t concentrate on anything... Sorry machi... Don’t mind... You guys have fun... Hmmm... Sorry da!!” Kumar said.
“Hey... don’t be sorry and all da... leave it. I will handle... You go safe... Take care da!!!” Rajesh said.
We reached bike stand.
Kumar didn’t ask me anything.
I looked at him with intension.
He understood what I was trying to ask him from my look.
He looked at me. “If I had pointed at you, then they would have asked 1000 questions about your departure. But you are not in a mind set to answer. Moreover they would show you as the reason for spoiling the party mood. I don’t want anyone to blame my friend... That’s why said so!!” he said.
I smiled at him. “I love you machi” I told to myself.


We reached home.
No one was there in my home.
We went to my room directly and locked the door.
I told everything that happened to kumar.
While telling it I started crying.
“Hey... Come on... Relax da…! Everything will be ok machi…! ” Kumar tried to console me.
“I really didn’t do anything... She called me... Per… pervert da!!!” I started sobbing.
“Karthick... Forget it… It happened because of misunderstanding... We can prove to her... Don’t worry dude!!!” he tapped on my shoulder.
“Kumar….Shall I go to her home now, talk to her and prove myself right!!!” I said in a broken voice with kind of urge.
Kumar looked at me with pity.
“It won’t work Karthick... If you talk to her now then she would feel even worse about you... Let’s deal with this after a week… Now please relax da!!!” he told me.
I stood before the dressing table mirror. I looked at myself as a useless ****.
“What if she decides that I am a bad guy???” I asked him by looking at the mirror.
He understood I was losing my mind.
“Will you stop talking about this now???” he raised his voice.
“She didn’t value my love... Isn’t it???” I asked in wicked tone.
“What?” he asked in a confused tone.
“I have failed to prove my love to her” I told in a low voice.
“Karthick!” kumar called my name.
I started laughing without reason.
Kumar got frightened by my behavior.
“Karthick???” he tried to came near to me.
I looked at my mirror image. I felt like it was teasing me.
“I hate myself! I hate myself… I hate myself…!” I shouted like hell and smashed my head heavily on the mirror.
It started bleeding from my head.
Before I could try hitting the mirror again, kumar caught me from behind.
I jumped…. I Screamed aloud……..
“Kill him… Kill him… He is teasing me… Kill Him…!” I shouted by pointing the mirror.
Kumar realized something was wrong with me.
He pulled me out of the room and brought me to the hall.
I didn’t know what happened to me. Blood was peeping out from my forehead and rolling down through my cheeks.
I sat in front hall sofa…
“It’s bleeding Karthick... Wipe it with a cloth” Kumar told me.
But without listening to him, I was moving my body front and back by sitting at the same place.
“Karthick! Karthick…….” Kumar shouted at me.
“Hmmmm!!!” I came to reality then.
He looked into my eyes deeply, but didn’t say anything.
He took a cloth, wiped my blood and put dressing on the wound.
“You gotta cut on the head... We need to go to doctor!!!” he told.


By that time, mom came back from temple.
By looking at my condition she got tense.
“Karthick……….. What happened da????” she rushed towards me.
“Ayyo…… It’s bleeding... what happened... tell me… what happened????” she asked me.
“He slipped from the bike and fell down aunty” Kumar told instantly.
“Oh my god…. Dear... see... how it’s bleeding!!” mom started crying.
“Aunty... That’s ok... It’s not a big injury... Let us take him to hospital” kumar told her.
They took me to a nearby clinic.
The sister there cleaned the wound, applied ointment, and dressed it neatly with cotton.
Doctor put an injection.
He asked mom to get some medicines in the nearby clinic.
Once she left, he asked me “Where did you hit your head??? It doesn’t look like a bike accident???”
I looked at him blankly.
“Huh... We had a fight with some road side guys’ doctor... They broke his head with a stone… If we tell the truth then his mom would worry…. That’s why we told her as an accident “Kumar again managed with some lie.
Doctor looked at both of us.
His look clearly told he didn’t believe us.
“Hmmm… Take care!!!” doctor said.


We came back to home.
Kumar accompanied me to home.
Mom went to kitchen to cook food for us.
We reached our room.
I looked at the mirror. There was blood strain on the mirror.
“Machi” kumar called me.
I turned my head towards him.
“What happened to you da….? At times you are becoming inhuman. I think you got trapped by something” he worried.
I smiled at him.
“Yeah…. Love Trap…! ” I thought to myself.

 

That you have to say rakinya As far as i know girls are unpredictable only. We would have some assumption about a girl, but most of the tym she behaves in a reverse way only That's why girls are ever green puzzles to guys

 

I don't know what went wrong with Pooja! But why are you suspecting Kumar? If he hear this then he would feel bad

 

Thanks Vidhya I am unsure about Pooja's behaviour!
