Four Sided Triangle - Part I

Four-Sided Triangle

Part I

21^st June, 19

“Be there by 8 and bring him too if you want, don’t forget to call me as soon as you leave”, Sanchita shouted from the other side of the phone.

Today is her friend’s birthday and of course! I will have to be there, to watch her bragging about herself the whole night. I don’t know what made me swipe her right, just her cute looks maybe or my desperation for being in a relationship.

Now convincing Tarun was a bigger task for me because he was never fond of socializing. I somehow had to convince him to come with me because my legendary friend never liked my girlfriend to start with. It’s like getting smashed in an overcrowded train.

“You’ll get to check out hot chicks around you, and don’t worry I wouldn’t dare to leave you alone”, after a long conversation, he agreed to join me.

“Fine”

“He has arrived; he is always on time and your lazy ass can’t even get up on time”, I could hear my mom shouting while Tarun was on his phone confronting his mom, “Don’t worry, I’ll be back before it’s too late”.

Tarun calls out to me, “Before he cancels the booking let’s leave, Harsh”. Once we boarded the Cab he reminded me to call my “so-called GIRLFRIEND”.

I could see Sanchita standing near the entrance of Socials as we approached. As soon as I got down she tucked her hand in mine and pulled me towards her. Tarun made his way inside with a frowned face.

Trying to adjust in the atmosphere somehow, we made our way through the crowd to the bar. Tarun kept staring at me as I was sipping shots one by one.

I could hear Sanchita asking him to take me away as I was drunk over the head at this point. We boarded a cab and made our way home. The last I remember was Tarun vanishing behind the closing door.

It was an exhausting night.
