My Boyfriend
#Writewithbunny
5 pm! The time was 5 pm..it's 5:45 now! Where the hell is he! Shreya mutters to herself and looks at her watch frantically. She's supposed to introduce her boyfriend Amir to her parents today whom she has been dating for 3 years now. Shreya and Amir met 4 years ago in her third year of college. If love at first sight had a face, it would be Shreya's. Not to mention, Amir was no less than a cinnamon roll himself. He wandered around Shreya like a love sick puppy following its owner everywhere. Strangers to friends and then to lovers..who knows what's next.
The clock struck 6, annoyed at her "perfect" boyfriend, Shreya turned around to leave but at that very moment she heard Amir's voice "Shreya!!!"
She turned again and looked at Amir running in her direction.
Amir (panting): huff huff...so sorry dear..huff.. l got caught up in some work.
Shreya: Amir seriously? You are an HOUR late!
Amir: lm so sorry Shrey...this will never happen again. I promise. Look l bought you your favourite ice cream.
Shreya: Thanks for the ice cream but lm leaving.
Amir: No please Shrey... please don't...we are supposed to meet your parents for dinner today ..we can still do that.
Shreya: Oh so you care about that huh? And what about me? We were supposed to go on a date before that! I have been waiting for an hour! From next time l will come 2 hours late make YOU wait!
Amir: Haha thanks for exposing ur brilliant plan dear. I will also come after 2 hours then haha.
Shreya: You think this is a joke!!! You piece of dead meat!!!
Amir: No absolutely not, my gorgeous girlfriend...btw where did u get that eye shadow from? That looks amazing!
Shreya: This is a MASCARA and l have been using it for the past 3 MONTHS! Don't try to flatter me.
Amir: oh sorry l meant the Lipstick. It's so bold, it makes u stand out.
Shreya: That's a liptint not a lipstick!
Amir: Areyy forget those.. where did u get that outfit from? So eye catching.
Shreya: U gifted it to me on my last birthday!
Amir: oh....
Shreya: What oh? Now all you have to say is a oh??
Amir (sighs): l accept my fate. You won.
Shreya: pfttttt ...hahaha..(laughing) the movie starts at 6:30. Come fast idiot.
Later at the movie theater ( ticket counter)
Ticket clerk: Ma'am, the movie you are asking for has already been released a month ago.
Shreya: What?! But l booked tickets for 24th April. I clearly remember.
Ticket clerk: Yes ma'am. The movie ur asking for has been released on 24th of April..Today is 24th May.
Shreya (in utter disbelief): What!?? Is this some kind of prank?
Ticket clerk: Ma'am, lm sorry to inform you but no tickets are available for today's show. Now if you'll excuse us, we got other clients.
Shreya leaves the counter and goes to Amir-
Amir!! Amir!!
Amir: What?! It's been only 10 mins Shrey..and u miss me already? Look l bought the large bag of popcorn as u said.
Shreya: Amir! That ticket clerk has gone crazy. He says our tickets are invalid an..d.. an..d..and...it's 24th May today!! He says they are fully booked, no more tickets are available anymore.
Amir (stares at her): ....
Shreya: What are you staring for! Do something or atleast say something!
Amir: Let's go meet your parents. (Amir leaves before Shreya)
Shreya: Amir!! Wait!! Say something! ( Shreya catches up to Amir).
Amir (suddenly hugs Shreya): l love u ...and l won't ever leave u.
Shreya (perplexed): l know that but...( Amir interrupts her)
Amir: No buts ...let's go now ...lm so excited to meet your parents but l would be lying if l say lm not nervous. Anyways, lm getting my bike ready.
Shreya: Your bike? But Amir you said the brakes weren't working properly...
Amir: l repaired them Shrey...don't u worry
Shreya: But...Amir...it's not safe ...u fixed them urself...what if something happens..it doesn't seem safe.
Amir: pfftt...Shrey! Your boyfriend is a born biker. Speed is his bestie and risk taking is his strength. Nothing's gonna happen...don't overthink. Come sit.
Shreya reluctantly agrees...
Shreya (thinks to herself) ...How strange...Amir's the type of person to overthink every silly thing...how is he so calm today...the incident at the ticket counter left me in utter disbelief and he completely avoided that topic...and what's today's date? I clearly remember booking tickets for 24th April..what is wrong with that clerk..and why is Amir acting so weird..
Amir: Shrey... What's the long face about? What are u thinking?
Shreya ( perplexed): Amir...are you okay?
Amir: yea? What will happen to me lol. We barely get free time to hang out like this. Let's enjoy. Come on smile.
Shreya( thinks to herself) he's right. It's been ages since we last hung out. We barely meet once in a blue moon. I will ask about that later..lm happy lm riding with him..( Shreya clutches on to Amir)
Shreya: Amir...
Amir: Hmm?
Shreya: lm glad to have u.( holds on tight)
Amir: What's the occasion? What do u want lol
Shreya: Uhh nothing...just glad...Amir...don't u think u should slow down a little?
Amir: Shrey...l told u..don't u worry...just enjoy.
Shreya: Amir! Don't increase the speed!
Amir: Haha u scaredy cat! I didn't know u were such a crybaby Shrey haha.
Shreya: Amir ...lm not kidding slow down..please..we will get into an accident at this rate!
Amir: l can't...
Shreya: What nonsense Amir! I said Slow down!!!
Amir: U don't remember...do u?
Shreya: Remember what?! Slow down..this isn't the time to joke around!
Amir: lm not joking...u don't remember April 24th...do u?
Shreya: What nonsense Amir! Today is April 24th! We will get into an accident! Slow down!!!!
Amir: yea...ur right...we did into an accident that day.
Shreya: Amir, I beg u...Stop please.
Amir: Jump Shrey..
Shreya: What the hell Amir!
Amir: I said jump! NOW! The brakes won't work ...l have to die.
Shreya: What!!?? Amir !!
Amir: Shrey! Jump just JUMP! I said JUMP!
Shreya: I said NO. If we have to die then we die together.
Amir: goodbye my love. But l promise l won't ever leave u ( Amir pushes Shreya).
Shreya falls over and hits her head..But when she tries to get up 4,5 blurry figures ties her hands.
Shreya ( screaming): What the heck!! Let go of me u idiots! Save him!! Amir!!! NOOO---
CRASHHH---
Shreya (jolts) and wakes up in her hospital bed. She looks at her mother sitting beside her with eyes full of tears. She notices 4,5 nurses tying her hands to the hospital bed.
Shreya: Where's Amir!!!!! Mom!?
Mom (crying): Shreya..my love, Please come out of ur delusions. Amir died a month ago on April 24th on the way to our house. He was spot dead but we were lucky enough to save u.
Shreya: Mom! No! This can't be happening! Amir and l just met! How am l in this hospital bed! No!! Hey u morons! Untie me! I couldn't save him cuz u tied me up! I said untie me!!!!
Doctor to Shreya's Mom: Ma'am, we advise u to leave the patient alone.
Shreya's parents leave with eyes full of tears along with the nurses.
Shreya notices Amir peeking from the door and when everyone leaves, he enters.
Shreya( crying): Amir! I know you are alive! Tell them dear. Tell them lm not crazy...Tell them you are fine.
Amir: I told u..l love u and l won't ever leave u..
Amir hugs Shreya and she blacks out again.
