His Destination

CHAPTER:- 3

The young man ended his song and gazed at the twinkling stars in the dark sky. His gaze broke feeling a tap on his back. He turned around to find his childhood buddy, Abhimanyu Singh Rathore. 

"You again didn't go to your home," Abhimanyu asked sitting beside his best friend. 

"Abhi! Correct your sentence, I have a huge mansion, not a home" He came back with his as usual sarcastic reply.

"But your family will turn this huge mansion of yours into a home..sweet home my friend."

"Family!" he laughed loudly." Family is the biggest joke of my life." He said making his best friend sighed. Still, Abhi decided to poke him as that's why best friends are for! 

"Then you should start to plan about your own family. At least I will be free from babysitting a young adult"

"Abhimanyu Singh Rathore!" He shouted irritatingly. "If you don't want to be killed by your best friend at this moment only, then stop your stupid talks." He threatened his best buddy. 

"As u say Mr. Animesh Singh Shekhawat." Abhimanyu dramatically bowed down his head. 

"By the way I was really serious about that family thing buddy. Even in your 23 years of lifetime, you never dated a girl. Soon people will start doubting about your s****l preference. To the worse you always sticked to me. It will increase their doubt. Even I would lose my reputation of having a cool image around girls." Abhi replied mischievously playing around him. 

"You know Abhi, I don't care about such useless gossips. So leave it. And why today you are so much interested into my relationship status?" Animesh asked him irritatedly. First the family thing and now Abhi's baseless talks increased his irritation. He was in a good mood while returning from the college. But how can this i***t best friend of his will give him a peaceful environment to live!

"Nothing I just casually asked. You seemed to be completely lost into the song. I mean you are a good singer. But today it was different. It was sounding like you are dedicating the song to someone..You know someone very very special and close to heart. " Abhi said smilingly with a mischievous wink at the end. 

"Not..thing li..ke th..at, I was just singing.. yeah, just singing a random song to refresh my mind." He stammered first but later maintained his confidence and lied like a pro. But it was too late to be unnoticed by the pair of eyes, which were continuously staring his every moves. Abhi was now suspicious. 

"Oh My God! The great Animesh Singh Shekhawat is stammering. So there is something..Or someone..I want details buddy." Abhi screamed with excitement. 

"What details??? There was nothing to explain in a detailed way. My life was a open book for you and for God sake stop screaming like a teenage girl. My ears would have blasted hearing your loud screams." He showed fake anger. But whom he was kidding! Abhi very well knew how to tackle him. 

"Fine now you also started to lie to your childhood buddy, it's fine, Who am I to you now, you got your girl, now I am no one to you." He started his emotional drama. 

"Nothing like that buddy. You will always be my best friend with whom I share everything without any second thoughts. Nothing will be changed after her arrival too." He innocently replied feeling bad for making his buddy sad while Abhi smirked listening to his confession. While Animesh realised what blunder he has created, but it's too late to understand the trap. 

"Her! Her! Her! I guess my ears are not working properly. Animesh Singh Shekhawat is using the pronoun her!" He dramatically said rubbing his own ear.

"OK fine, stop your drama and listen. I won't explain it again.Today I met a girl and Ikindalikedher." Animesh took a deep breath after completing his line. It was like a hard task for him. 

"Easy boy, I am all ears to listen your love story. Now explain me patiently. I couldn't understand a bit of your express speed language." Animesh rolled his eyes listening to him and again continued his confession.

"Hmmmmm. I like that girl. I mean I like her smile. Nahhh, Her eyes, they were speaking a lot of things. But I like her kindness too. She was innocent and cute at the same time. I don't know how, when and why, but I like her completely for the way she is." Animesh ended his part of speech with a small smile, that was lingering on his lips from the time he was explaining about her. 

"What so finally you got a girl and you decided to ditch me. It's OK. I will not be villain in your love story. My blessings are with you." Abhi said wiping his imaginary tears. But from inside he was happy for his best friend. 

"Stop your drama bro, I never see that girl before in college, I saw her today only. And love can't happen too quickly. It's real life man,not a fiction to love someone at the first sight."

"Buddy! love has neither time nor date. It will not knock your sense for permission to enter inside your heart. It will come unexpectedly and took away all your senses. So first confirm your feelings OK." Abhi adviced him. 

"Keep your free advice with yourself. It will help you in future. I will sleep for now, bye, Good night." Animesh wished him with a tight lipped smile and moved away from there. 

While Abhimanyu watched his best friend's retreating figure. He knew about his brokenself, but he was helpless. He just prayed God to send a soul who will heal him and arranged his broken life in a perfect manner.
