The Love Victim 5

v

$Aditya$

I was flying would be an understatement if you would want to describe my feelings now. This is the first time any person stood up to me. I couldn’t put those cute little eyes burning with anger off my brain. Her lips were so inviting; ohh godddd… i had to control myself with every ounce of energy  and self control i had to not smash her lips with mine. 

I never really felt so happy with my name as I am feeling today. The way it rolled off her tongue was as if it was just made for her to pronounce it. I wanted to here more of it. I’ll make sure I get to hear her speak my name everyday of my life.With no make up at all, she looked devilishly beautiful; and omg, the look she gave when i called her a princess, it was priceless. That is definitely what i am going to call her from now on!! she was surely a princess, MY PRINCESS.

*******************

$Kiara$

I didn’t know what she wanted, but i could tell that Aish was up to something from that over confident smirk  of hers. She was definitely plotting something. I could be 200% sure of it; that is what you know when you grow up together with a person almost all your life.

When there really was nothing in it, why the hell was she making such a big deal out of a trivial matter as this. 

I wasn’t planning to tell her about Aditya anyways, so she was right about that part. Now I would have to tell her or else she wouldn’t leave me alone. I am obviously not going to admit my feelings of like toward that guy. That is going o be so unlike me, and there is really nothing to talk about it. I am pretty sure they go straight into the dustbin once he gets to know me.

Huff… the class is over!

I am damned. She is waiting for me as expected. Well, lets get over with it then!

 …………………..

And that’s how it ended. It’s the first time I am seeing the guy in person. I told her everything about our stupid chats.

 *********************

$Aishwarya$

“And that’s how it ended. It’s the first time I am seeing the guy in person.”

She told me on our way home in her car as she was driving. I knew she wasn’t lying by the look of her. Kiara doesn’t lie. It’s not her thing,of course.

But she was hiding something. I could sense it. Nevertheless i bid my good bye for the day when we reached my house. And she went her way.

I think i will have to look up to this guy Aditya. I didn’t want my friend to get hurt. I knew he ’s the captain of the cricket team; i have seen him in many college parties. Kiara doesn't party like most of us and so that explains the fact she was completely ignorant of the Hunk.

But I’ll have to know him much sooner than they go any deeper in their casual talks. It was necessary, it is a part of my job!

Oh yeah, and I almost forgot, I would have to tell this hot news about The Hunk to Kiara’s parents asap;after all, it’s my duty as her bodyguard.(A blended bodyguard)

$Kiara$

I had missed a week of my college. Not that I was really worried about the portion, I had already completed learning my syllabus; but I would now have to borrow notes from my friends so that I could see if our teachers have taught us something more than what I knew. Yes, I have never revealed this part of me to you. I am nerd. I look cool to people but deep deep down I bother about my grades a lot and I study like a freak.

The college went well for the morning and we(my girl friends and me) were sitting in our campus lawn gossiping about some pair who started dating recently. My friend was going on about the details she heard from someone, when she dropped her jaw all of a sudden. I lifted my head from my notes( I was writing my absentee notes) to look at the reason for her sudden silence only to see that everyone from our group was looking straight at something. I was curious obviously which resulted in my head turning to spot their centre of attention.

I found out pretty quickly that they were gaping like dogs at a guy who was coming there on his bike. I had to say he looked like a run away model. Perfect features; good body; and yeah, the arrogance showed on his face. I hated such guys. So I looked down at my notes and continued writing.

Suddenly, a hand popped in between my eyes and my notes. I peeked at the owner of that hand angrily as it was disturbing my concentration. Then he smirked; I must tell it was looking amazing on him(Shit! What the hell am I thinking).

******************

$Aditya$

 Hi, I said.

She was angry and she looked really cute with her cheeks flushed so red. Woww. I didn’t know the reason for her anger but it only made her look all the more beautiful.

She arched an eyebrow in confusion and said,” how can I help you?”

I was really dazed by her response. She didn’t recognize me? I am now feeling insulted.

“So you are playing hard to get I see!”

“what the hell! Why on earth would I want to talk to you when I don’t even know who you are??”

“Are you kidding me? I am really confused Kiara. Why are you putting up this cold behavior with me?”

Is this some kind of a joke. Remind me, why should I talk to you!

Because I am Aditya.

She wrinkled her nose now. Oh my god, this is really cute. Her innocence is so adorable.i can read by her expression she’s trying to remember me…

“Ohh.yeah…Aditya. Hi”

“So finally, I get the HI I have been waiting for ages from my princess.”

“Excuse me? Don’t you dare call me that again!”

********************

$Kiara$

If I my friends’ had left their mouths open when they saw Aditya’s dramatic entry as Tom Cruise in India; you could happily call their present state as mouths hanging.

 I was stuck now. I had to explain our stupid conversation to everyone just because of this dumbass. Why did he even have to turn up like this, out of the blue?

Was there a real need to? And now people might think I am his friend cuz of the way he’s talking to me when he is clearly nothing more than a stranger to me. I hate it. I hate him!! And I hate that stupid  breath-taking smirk of his!!! And what is he calling me?Princess. Yuck. I am not a fairy tale girl to blush when he calls me that.I really am feeling the need to get away from here.

“well, it was nice meeting you Aditya.but I gotta go now.bye.”

And with that I threw my bagpack over my shoulder and started sprinting towards my class room.

…………………………

I was trying my level best to concentrate on the stupid lecture our fac was giving on applets for the past 15 minutes, when i felt an arm nudge my rib for the umpteenth time since the class begun.

“I swear m gonna break that little arm of yours if you don’t stop nudging me Aish!”

“And i swear to happily rip that intelligent head of yours if you don’t spill the beans now. Oh wait, did you even think of telling me about that handsome hunk who seemed obsessed with you?I hate you. I hate my best friend!!!”

“I love you too darling. And FYI there is absolutely nothing to tell you, i dont even know the guy. I just spoke to him twice.”

“And where on earth was i existing when you spoke to him so many times?”

“Two times doesn’t count as “so many” times darling”

“Fuck Off”

“Ok.I am sorry. I’ll tell you everything after class. Lemme listen what she’s ranting for now!”

******************

$Aishwarya$

I don’t understand what’s the point of listening the class for her; as if she doesn’t know all that. She is definitely planning to escape me. I left her for now, but I am gonna get back in a better manner. You are in for a surprise Kiara.

 I really couldn’t believe she hid something from me. I was her best friend.  In fact, the only person who knew the real Kiara; and not the smooth neatly polished version everyone here knows.

 Kiara is the dream come true for any guy, I know that. But she is nothing what she seems to be. A beast would control its anger better than her. The havoc she caused then was the worst i had even seen or heard off in history. I hate to admit it, but yes, I am scared when it comes to facing the true music of this devil in disguise. It’s better to deal with her when she is sugar-coated like this.

Anyhow, I need to plan a confrontation now. I don’t know why but I feel that there is much more to the story than she ’s telling me. Two talks could not and would not ever be enough bring out the unforeseen emotions in her eyes. That was the first time I ever saw her eyes sparkling with love like that; she masked it well after a second but I didn’t miss them.After all, its’ not everyday that the devil is in a good mood, i thought smirking to myself.

$Kiara$

I was in Bengaluru for a week after this chat.

I pushed this guy to the end of my brain as well.

And then I realized…this guy never pushed me away from his brain!

He must have lost his nuts.

So after my vacation I came back and opened my account to check for any updates..and you won’t believe what I saw.

312 unread messages from Aditya Kumar…

 OMG!! Could this even be possible? How can a person type so many messages!!

Though this was my expression then, I really felt great. It felt fabulous to be cared. Someone out there  whose face you haven’t seen yet…whom you gave nothing but sarcastic retorts all the time actually cared about you!

You couldn’t tell I was in cloud 9…but cloud 8 also could do well. I read every single message of his!(can you believe that, me-Queen Impatient of all people read a whole lot of three hundred and twelve messages without leaving a single message...actually I found re reading some messages just because they felt nice to be read)

I haven’t actually let out my darkest secret yet. I was excellent at almost everything…from gymnastics to music; from studies to dance; everything on the globe I was a perfectionist. I could speak in 13 different tongues. But all I lacked was love. I never had it from my parents. They were too busy to take care of me; too busy to just see how I smiled; too busy to know my likes!

And now, my heart tied into a knot on just seeing a guy’s message, which is the first of a million times I was ever around guys!

It was an all-in-all different feeling I had. So I decided I would have a little chat with my new found admirer 

Hey

(I couldn’t really believe myself.

I was blushing. Thank heavens,

he can’t see my face)

I can’t believe it’s you. Finally..woww…

I am feeling blessed now!

Yeah...me! finally huh?

I am still waiting for a proper reply to my hi

Ohh…err hi☺

Hehe

So u were waiting for sumthn?

Au kidding me? I was waiting for you.

That was pretty evident in my messages!!

Nd cud I know the reason for your wait?

Is there anything specific u wantd to tell me?

Ummmm…uh yeah

Shoot !

I was kinda missing you!

Wowwww..he missed me. I would have traded anything I owned to get this thought from someone just to feel this amazing feeling. It felt so damn real. I wanted more of it. This really felt something more than hot chocolate makes me feel for it. Nevertheless, I decided to play along blanketing my feelings for a while. I had to at the least judge him if he was true or fake!!!

Is it a usual player thing to tell? 

How many girls have you told this line?

Huh?

Could you just for a sec respect my feelings?

I never dated a girl. You can check out on my 

status if you wanted to!!

Statuses prove to be fake most of the times!!

You could run a check on me if 

you really want to know!

I am not interested in the least!

Bye

Actually, he just made my game more interesting. I wanted to find out about him. I could easily tip someone into finding out the person’s bio data. That’s in fact what I usually do. But this time, I wanted to find things for myself. I wanted to know all about him in-person. I wanted to know, why of all people was he interested in a head weighted lass like me. I made it my agenda for the next day!

And I really was shocked the next day when I found out whom I was talking to all these days. This was the first time I seriously started cursing my pride in my beauty. I never gave more than a glance to any guy. But when I saw the person I was looking at, I knew I had met him before. There was this thread I didn’t know where to connect. I tried really hard to push it to the back of my head that it had started pounding in the next four hours!!

I definitely had to know where I had seen this guy. I had to know how I was connected to him in any way!!

************

$Aditya$

I don’t know what to tell but this isn’t something you can share with your friends. I was interested in her. And she wasn’t talking to me in the least. She hasn’t even come online. It weirdly started to get me worried, Was she ill or something? I text her but she doesn’t respond.

I tried for her mobile number but there’s nothing in her details on her account. I even thought of getting her number from the office, but then which girl would give her personal number out there in the public. She must have obviously given her guardian’s number! Huh…is there no way out in the world I could get rid of this ache in my heart, the ache of missing her!

Well, there was one though. If I focus on something else rather than on a girl I was missing to talk, I could possibly solve my problem. But no, I have to admit that my concentration is worse than a bee in this week always wandering off and pondering on the same topic: Where on earth was Kiara?

$Kiara$

The next day at around the same time:

Hey

Wat?

You found out?

Did I have to find out sumthn?

Hmm…I thot you would find out who I was!

Dats wat u call overconfidence.

I didn’t and I would never!!

This beats me.

Fine..screw it!

This is my frst tym. So do let me tell how I performed:p

Uh?

Hi. I am Aditya 

The university team cricket captain.

And what? I just introduced myslf..

Hmm…I think that wud be enough.

Nope.this is sumthn new.I was told that

Pigs can fly!!

Is it sumthn spl tday or au always like this?

What do u mean like “this”?

Your level of sarcasm

Nah!its always this way

Wow..ua amazing!!

Huh..such a daft!

This was what I thought when we ended our conversation so abruptly!

**********

$Aditya$

And here she goes…in a truly Kiara style.

An original piece, I must say!one of a kind..or probably one in a million.

 What does she even think of herself!??

Me, the king of egostical people is striking a conversation and here she is, playing it hard for me. Why can’t she ever talk properly?? Which beats me again, why doesn’t she ever date??Does she have a past experience that’s blocking her? 

Ohh crap!!! My head hurts. Of course not with the questions, its cuz I was standing in the middle of the pitch, trying to focus on catching a ball that was coming towards me but in vain. Obviously which guy in his right minds would be able to focus on a mere ball when his mind was going gaga over a chic-a very hot chic!!!

The Love Victim 1

i

1 friendship request

My facebook page had the red mark blinking.

Aditya Kumar-64 mutual friends

Ohh wow!!

We had so many friends in common. And I don’t remember a face like this. Quite a common name. Might probably be my classmate I wasn’t familiar of. :p

There begins our story where I accepted the request and started my own fairy tale in an extremely ordinary life.

I am not exactly a social networking addict but I am habituated to check all my accounts once in a day. It was more kind of a duty cuz I get my class work updates in a group. So that’s how I landed up having a small chat with my newly added friend while I was facebooking casually.

 And this was what we spoke that day.

HI

Hey

Ssup

Do you know me??

Nope

And ua askn me what am I upto!!

Ah…yes. 

I guess I asked you the same!

What kind of a freaking person does this!?

I thot u were my classmate. I am Sry.

But I hate talking to strangers

 or rather say players like you!

Au kidding me?

You really don’t know me?

You are not by any chance

 Hrithik Roshan for me to know you!!

Oh oh...cool down missie!

Its’ strange to know that someone 

in our college doesn’t know me.

Sry to hurt your ego. But I dunno you and 

I am not even interested about you. So better be off!

You might be thinking I am rude to a stranger. But that’s what I am to players. I hate the way they beat around the bush.

*********

$Aditya’s point of view$

I was bored of my routine day. Not quite intent on doing anything specific, I was flipping through my facebook pages. Then a notification appears:

 Kiara has accepted your friend request. Write on her timeline.

Ha! Just what I needed. Finally, I found something to do, I thought and pinged her with a hi to have a nice little chat.

I should have seen what was coming. Knowing a lot about Kiara from our freshmen time, I should have heeded my brain’s protest to stop talking to her.Of course, who in their right mind would do that!

Kiara has the history of rejecting a long line of boys who proposed her for a date. People said she never even gave a thought before rejecting them down line, leave alone getting to know them much. She behaved as if she didn’t give a damn about it.

The most competitive person I have ever heard off in any field . A filthy rich girl who had an aura of happiness wherever she went.Oh..why wouldn’t she.She was rich after all.there’s nothing money cant do.

And oops…when I talk to her, I found that I was really really very judgmental on the girl. In the first place, I expected her to know me. And gosh, she doesn’t have a freaking idea of  who I am. Either she gotta be acting or she’s genuine about her feelings. And the second, the most sarcastic person I ever spoke to, leaving alone the fact that the person was a “female”.

Thus, ended our cute little conversation between two most famous figures of our college. With a ‘little’ sarcasm, more of ego and of course a small tinge in me to strike a convo with this girl.  Not my problem, but she just made my game more exciting!!!

All you have to do is be yourself and live the story no one else can live...the story of your own unique life!

Kiaraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…………

This is the last sound I heard. Seems like a long long sleep. Do I have to wake up now!?

I don’t really want to.

But in the end I know, deep down in my heart that I was alive. My dad might probably be pacing up and down confused. My mum would be muttering some words to screw me up (some even unknown to the world, I guess) under her breath on how careless lass I grew out to be.

Surprisingly enough, I am not in a mood to wake up. It might be because I subconsciously know if only I opened my eyes, I would have to explain the reason for my behavior. My stupid assholic behavior, completely uncharacteristic of me.

Oh yes..we are discussing about me. Kiara Kumar. You might be thinking of what my name means. Lemme clear your doubt before we move any further. My name is a fusion of my producers on earth, namely my madly-in-love parents Kirthi and Aravind. I still remember the day when I came to know what my name means.

I was in my first grade when we were given a home assignment to write down the meaning of our names. And that arouse the renaissance thought in my little brain, do names have meanings?? I didn’t know that. I just thought names came out of nothing at all. I went home and asked my mum the same question, “What does my name mean?”And then was the moment I knew the specialty I carried. I meant love, passion, desire, trust, courage and intensity. All mixed together, small-sweet-and-simple-“KIARA”!!

Coming back to the situation, I forcefully opened my eyes one lid at a time only to check if I was in single piece. I had committed a suicide, or lets’ say a suicide attempt as I am still alive. If I was told a year earlier that I would be doing such a thing today, I would laughed on who-so-ever’s face. But love does things to people...and unfortunately I am also a Love Victim!

Before scolding me out on my stupid behavior, please hear me out. Hear the story of my life...The unique story in which I lived!! 

Candle of A Submerged Lord

I made this beguiling gel candle to gift my friend.And I as well thought I might just put up a tutorial in my blog on how to make it:)

The materials which we require for this are:

A little amount of gel wax-crystal clear(as you can see in the pic below)

Gel colour-1 or 2 drops

A pair of scissor

A wick

A fragrance of your wish(I used Rose scent in mine)

A spoon to mix the colour in wax

And some decorating material to decorate your candle

Step 1:

Firstly,we start heating the gel wax in a bowl.

Step 2:

After the wax completely melts,we add two drops of blue colour into it.You can add any colour of your choice.

Step  3:

Now that our wax has completely taken a liquid form,let us pour it neatly into the decorated material.We wait for another 2 minutes and now push the wick into our wax.

Our Candle is now ready to be neatly packed:)
