Sam
"What are you both doing here?"
We both flinched due to the sudden voice behind us. We both turned to see.
It's Ivan!
Thank God it's just Ivan and not someone else or they would end up thinking that we were stalking a couple here.
"Aaaa..... We-" I was stuttering unsure what to answer him but I got by Gabriel.
"We both were keeping eye on someone" he said.
"Who? That lovey dovey couple?" Ivan asked and we nodded.
"The boy is cheating with Natasha over Love!" I said.
"Natasha! Such a bitch!" Ivan exclaimed on the mention of Natasha. Even he too looked disgusted by this. He came forward and peeked behind the wall like we were doing the minutes ago.
"Why don't we capture them and show it to Love?" Ivan asked.
"Do anybody have a camera or phone to record this!" I muttered.
"Why not! Here take" Ivan said and removed a phone from his pants pocket and handed to me.
"How come you carry your phone to school. It's not permitted " i whispered.
"Whatever now just capture them now. Let's talk about this later" Gabriel said and i nodded. I took a video of them doing God knows that thing! I even took pictures quickly and forwarded to my chat ,by chance if it gets deleted if we got caught. We all three got down to our class as our lectures were going to start. We decided to meet together and show this to Love. I handed the phone back to Ivan.
How is carrying his mobile phone in school. It's not allowed, then how come!
I sat back on my seat and Gabriel sat beside me.I can't help but keep drifting to the thoughts on how Love will react after we show her that she has been cheated again. My attention was no where but buried deep into my thoughts. I glanced at Gabriel and he noticed my uncertainty. He smiled and nodded to assure me that everything will be okay. I nodded in return.
The bell rang and are all lectures were ended. Everyone packed their bags and ran towards the door but sat still in my seat busy in my thoughts, twirling my pen between my fingers like I am figuring out what should I say to her? How she will react? How can I help her? I can't see anyone close to me breaking down over a son of a bitch! I will console her!
"Sam" Jania called me and I came back in my senses.
"Gabriel told everything us" Aiz said.
"I hope Love understands and doesn't break down after this" I said with my head down focusing on the floor.
"Don't worry we can explain to her about this" Gabriel said and i nodded.
"Let's go guys together for this!" Jania said.
I packed my bag and stood up hanging the bag on my shoulders and exited the classroom with my friends.
We went down to the stairs. I stopped when I reach the school exit gate. Someone called me from behind. We all turned out heads to see Ivan running behind us with the phone in his hand. I almost forgot about the evidence we are going to show her.
"Can I also company you all?" He asked.
"Sure, you can!" Jania said.
"Thanks, and here the phone Sam you will need this" he said and handed the phone to me.
We walked down to the streets together. My steps haltered when I was just a turn away from her house. Gabriel placed his hand on my shoulders assuring me that everything will be okay..
We reached her house. We all stood together at the door, I raised my hand to click the door bell. After few rings the door opened and Love stood in front of us. She just got amused seeing us all infront of her house.
"Hey, why you all are here?" She asked.
"Why, can't we and by the way we all missed you today" I said.
"I was absent for just a day and you already miss me?" She said with a slight laughter.
"Won't you ask us to come inside or we need to discuss and return back from this only" Jania said in a mocking tone.
"Oh sorry, Come inside and I am just alone today in this house, just a maid and a few watchman outside guarding because my parents are out due to their urgent call to Mexico for work.
"Ohh so that's why you were absent " Gabriel said and she hmmed in response .
She gestured us take a seat in the living room and she went to kitchen to fetch something for us. After few minutes she came with a maid having a large tray in her hand. She placed the tea, juice and some cake on the coffee table and gestured us to have it.
"Why you guys look so tensed, is everything alright?" Love asked us noticing the uncertainty on our faces.
"Look, we need to show you something and we want you to calmly take over it" Ivan said and we all nodded. I got up and sat beside her and showed all the pictures and videos we clicked. All eyes were on her determining what or how she will react?
"Look, Tom is cheating on you with that Fucking Natasha!" Gabriel said to interrupt the silence rising in the room.
She handed the phone back to me. I stared at her consistently and was ready to take her in my arms if she burst out crying but she didn't we left us confused instead she said something which made us look more into her.
"I know, he was cheating" she muttered.
"You know what and how?" I asked knitting my eyebrows together.
"This all started at the Valentine's Day evening party where Tom met Natasha. I know i always get cheated but it's never my fault. They all chose to cheat me which cannot be my mistake. I saw Tom and Natasha being clingy at that evening and caught them kissing each other in the corner of the garden. I felt something collapse in me after seeing my boyfriend with someone else. I heard Tom saying to Natasha that I am not his type and instead ofpulling of from him she messaged him to break up with me and have her instead. I felt like it's all my fault that's why every person I dated cheated me. I can't hold my tears anymore after witnessing that." She said calmly with her hands on her thighs gripping her shorts tightly. I can sense her discomfort and i chosed to console her.
"Look, cheating is a choice and not an option to select. That son of a bitch doesn't deserve you, you are etheral and loving and the best i could i have ever known. Let nobody hurt you anymore. And no one can make you happy more than your self, you deserve much than best because you are the best. Don't fall for someone who doesn't value your presence and cheats you. It's never your fault, they all cheated and I very well know they lost a diamond " I said.
" I know,I am now enough of dating! I want myself to enjoy nurture, look and love myself more than others do. I realised I never wanted a boyfriend but you all where you all stand beside me no matter what. There was no Tom nor my eyes who made me happy like you guys do. You all are reminder to me that God has given me something of my own, caring, loving and beside me no matter what! In this all years i was stupid to get stuck on boys but Instead I got lost somewhere. Now i shall enjoy, love myself with my friends until I find my soulmate " she said and we all hugged her together.
"So, it means if you find your soulmate would you leave us? Aiz asked while pouting.
"Never ever in billion years!" She exclaimed.
I felt a sigh of relief seeing her standing strong after all this. She hasn't break down but stood straight and chose herself first!
"That's like my girl!" I exclaimed.
Ivan
This all looks so real! A group of friends filled with laughter, smiles and mischiefs all around and most important how they grew strong together.
Why can't I get such friends or my family? Am I too unfortunate for that?
They are all so happy, a perfect example of 'Friends in need is a friend indeed '. And the finest example is Sam, the way she said those comforting words to not let her cry out over a fucking bitch who cheated her. I liked how strong she stood Instead of crying over the cheats she got in return everytime!
We all sat together, chit chatting. We played some games and ate. Until we all realize that it's getting late to head to the house. We all bid bye to Love and walked down the streets. Everyone left for their houses at every corner of the block.
I and Sam walked together as we live nearby. We both kept walking silently until break it.
"You okay now, you seem tensed earlier" i asked her.
" No I am fine, I was just worried for Love on how she would react to that but instead she chose herself and now I am relieved" she said and i nodded.
"Well, we aren't permitted to bring phones in school, then how do you?" She asked. I remained silent inorder to decide what to say next to this question. To tell her that I inform about them to my bastard father or just lie.
"Aaa .... I know but who knows?" I said while rubbing the back of my neck.
"I know!" She spat. I can't say anything further so I just laughed and thank God we reached her house the very next moment.
She opened the door and went inside but before she asked me to have some tea or coffee inside her house but I refused because I was getting late to my home. I just bid a bye to her and smiled widely responding.
I made my way to my house.
