The Idiot Once I Called "Girlfriend"

*Single*

I was happy with my single life but then she happened. Actually, I also was happy after meeting her but somehow we ended up and turned our love into the breakup. That breakup was enough to send anyone into depression. However, I still remember her and I hope she still remembers me because I was not that bad in our relationship.
I still remember the evening when I was at a restaurant having party with my friends and suddenly a girl came and slapped me.

I was like who the hell is she? Moreover, why did she slap me? Moreover, look at her guts, she was going back after slapping me just as if she got an achievement.

I held her wrist and asked, "Why the hell you slapped me?"

"My friend asked me to do that. It was a challenge to slap you in front of all your friends" and she leaves after giving me the small explanation of putting me down in front of my and her friends.

I was sitting like what the hell I did in my last birth so I'm having an issue like this in my life.

Then the laughs began, my friends were laughing at me, I was not sad because they all were laughing. After all friends are made for this day so they can laugh at you in any hard situation, you just can't face.

My mind was planning something and I straightly went to that girl, held her waist, and her hair too, pushed her down and kissed her with the same passion she slapped me couple of minutes ago.

Now she was in the same situation as I was. She asked me that same question and I gave her the same answer "My friends asked me to do that. It was a challenge to kiss you in front of all your friends."

Then I came back into my gang and started having fun and somewhere in my heart, I was feeling anger and sadness at the same time. Anger of being slapped by any stranger girl and sadness for kissing the same stranger girl.

Party was over but I decided to stay at the restaurant so I told all my friends to go without me because I was not in the mood of going home.

I ordered a coffee. As well as I was looking for someone to call on my mobile. Then again she came.

"May I sit here?" she asked me.

I was surprised and scared what if she slaps me again.

"Yes, you can, it's not my restaurant by the way. And if it would mine and I'll never allow the girl like you to enter in my restaurant." I taunted at her.

"What do you mean by the girl like me? Am I having bigger teeth or nails? Do I look alike a monster? I mean what you mean by that. - She was angry and shouted at me.

"I mean the girl like you who can slap anyone without thinking how he'll feel after it." I again taunted her.

"And what you did there? Is that your way to respect any girl's feeling in public place?" She wanted to put all the anger in that argument.

"I'm sorry for that, I didn't want to do that, but it was for the sake of my image in front of my friends." I feel sorry for the kiss.

"I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have done that.” She feel the same way for slapping me.

"Btw I'm AMAAN and You?”

"I'm Ronika"

"Where is your V?" I said it with sarcasm.

"Excuse me?" she did not understand that.

"Actually I have met a girl with name Veronica" So I asked.

"Be my V then, and turn it into Veronica."

"Are you proposing me?” I raise my eyebrows.

"Of course I'm , I don't want to lose the guy who have guts like that, but if you try to do that again with other girls, I'll definitely cut you in so many parts so you won’t be able to find the V in them." she held the knife that was placed into the table.

"How can I find the V in my parts when you have it?" I laughed.

She blushed and slapped me again.

"Shut up!"

I was thinking if I will go into a relationship with her, she would kill me by slapping all day. But for the beast like her I'm ready to take risk, my cheek turns red, doesn't matter it will turn into red with blush or with slap. I stood up and kissed her again.  

*Relationship*

One day we were sitting together, playing a video game. Haha lucky me who had a girlfriend like her who plays the video games.

Door bell rings*

"Open the door?" she asked me because I was on the lead in game so that she will get a Chance to leave me behind.

"I'm not stupid to leave my game for you, it's not your chance to win in this game.” I pushed her from the sofa and laughed.

She got up, slapped me, and kissed me so passionately that I had to leave my game controller and hold her. We were kissing as if we met here after so many years. Actually we used to kiss each other with same passion does not matter how many times we kiss.

We actually forgot that someone was still on the door.  Therefore, I decide to open the door. As I wished that, whoever was on the door please leaves us alone at this time when we were in the perfect mood to eat each other. Actually, there was no one. Of course, why anyone would wait for 15 minutes to open the fucking door?

Ronika came to the door and searched that who was at the door.

"He is gone, just like all others because we start kissing each other every time the door bell rings. It’s too perfect for us but for others its irritation." Again, I held her and started kissing, pushing her on the door and then closed it.

*Her birthday*

It was her birthday, the most beautiful day of her life and the most beautiful day for her mother, too so I decided to make that day more special.

It was 8 AM and I still didn't wished her, of course she was angry but she was to good at pretending that she don't have anger issues with her. Therefore, she tried to wake me up.

"Wake up AMAAN!" don't you care of anything, I have to go to meet my mother, Remember you promised me that you'll go with me to meet her too" I was trying not to get me up for meeting with her mother and I refused.

"I'm not in the mood baby, you should go alone, I want to sleep, I have been working for all night on my laptop so my neck and back both are paining. I want some rest." I pulled the blanket and slept, actually I was pretending too because I wanted to give her surprise.

She left my blanket and got ready to go.

"I'm going AMAAN, I'll come at night, and you should really get up and eat something baby. You are sleeping and its 2PM now." She wanted to be surer if I still remember something.

"I'll eat baby, you should go now or you'll be late to meet your mother." I ordered her from the bed.

"Ohkay, I'm going.” Then she left and closed the door just as if the door did the mistake of forgetting her birthday.

Then I got up, picked my mobile up and called her friend “Listen, she is on the way to meet her mother but you have to stop her and please be with her all the time until I message you." Yes, it was a part of plan. Her friend agreed and disconnected the call.

Now I had to get up and really had to make the surprise happen and look at my messy flat. Ugghhhh Ronika did not do anything this morning, she was angry and everything was messed up.

*Evening*

I messaged her friend to come over with her at our flat.
So as she came, her friend pushed her to the door and when she opened the door, birthday tune started ringing with blue and red lights featuring the tune. She was like "Awwwwwww" and as she stepped in into the flat, the tune gets higher. When she came into the hall, everyone start singing "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.”

She was more amazed by that and started searching for me, I was standing at my bedroom's door. I was smiling like an idiot.

She came to me, slapped me, and hugged me so tightly. The tears started rolling from her eyes, the tear of happiness but I had one more surprise for her so I opened the door and there was her mother standing inside the room. She was happier now; she left me and hugged her mother so tightly. As I was about to leave the room she held my hand and asked me to stay there while she was in her mother's arms. She asked it with her eyes. Therefore, I stayed there. 

*Breakup*

We were having an argument about the same reason every couple has, her priorities. I wanted time for me but she had her priorities above me like her friends, work. We were having the long-term relationship so it was so obvious but I was not in the situation to tolerate it. I just lost my job 'cause she asked to do so. She wanted my time so I left the job for saving our relationship. Now she was working and ignoring me like what? Does she do it intentionally?

I did not know the reason behind it.

Nowadays it was so obvious to have argument on every little thing.

One day I was coming to the flat after a complete insulting rejection in an interview. When I was about to knock the door I heard something, sound of temptation like someone was having great time. I thought not to disturb them. I called Ronika to confirm that someone is there in our flat.

I called her but no response. Again, I called her.

"Ronika"

"Hello" her voice was shaking.

"Where are you?" I asked her straightly.

"In our flat" she said it in very questionable tune.

Moreover, she lied because if she was there, then who the hell was inside with her? Does not matter how many times we used to fight in a day but I did not have trust issues with her.

Then I cut the call, and came back from the flat and sat at the corner side shop and ordered coffee & cigarette.

I wanted to know who was inside. Was Ronika cheating on me? I had not thought like this but that time my mind was refusing to trust on my love.

Then her friend came from the flat straight to the shop and asked for a cigarette. I was in the other corner and I hide myself too so he did not see me, he made his payment and left.

Now I was in a bad mood and the mood went to its peak point. As If one more second I sat there, my mind would blow up. I went straight to the flat and the door was open. I entered into the flat. Ronika was in the shower.

"I'm home" I said in a loud voice and knocked the bathroom door too.

"Welcome back baby, How was interview?" she asked me sweetly as she can.

"Just like your day "Fucked". I said it in anger.

"But my day was not fucked." she giggled.

"But you got." I whispered and opened the fridge to get some water.

She came out of the shower; she was looking stunning after so many months. I was feeling like I had not seen her for a while. She dressed up and sat beside me on the sofa.

"What happened baby?" she asked it in very sweet voice.

"You say? What happened today? You better tell the truth.” she tried to hold my hand but I rejected.

"Nothing happened today, I was sleeping, I got up from your call." She was looking scared.

"That's not true." somewhere my mind was not believing her.

"It is." she go to other side of bed and hand me the rent of the flat.

"From where you get 25k when you're doing a job with 20k per Month. Are they giving your extra incentive these days?" I asked her.

She said nothing, gave me the money, and asked me to pay the rent of the house.

I was more sure now her friend gave her the money but My heart wasn't ready to listen that she was cheating on me.

The very next day again I was coming from an interview and this time I got the job. I was happy. Therefore, I did not call her because I wanted to give her a surprise. She just loves the surprises. Actually every girl does.

I came to the door; some noise was coming from the flat so listened –

"Did he accept the money?” A male voice, I was trying to recognize the voice.

"Of course, He had to accept because he is jobless now and can't take a stand on his own." Female voice, it is Ronika.

"But you are reason behind his joblessness." Male voice laughed.

"HAHAHA.  I did not wanted him to order me at any cost so I created a drama over his busy schedule and for me he left his job." Ronika Joined the laugh.

I was paralyzed. I was not able to move a bit.

"It's been 2 years we are together. And because of him we have to meet like this” male voice.

Wait, What? In addition, Me and Ronika were together from one and half year.

Somehow, I managed to come back and then I went straight to shop and tried to recognize the male voice. Oh wait? He was her friend "Sharleen" But he is married. I know he has a name like women.

I decided to tell her wife about this. I wanted her to know that we both are in the same hell.

When I went to his place, her wife opened the door and I straight away started talking about Ronika and Sharleen.

But there was something I didn't know, even I couldn't imagine it.

Her wife told me "It was all a plan AMAAN; I wish you could find out sooner. Sharleen and me aren't a married couple. We made a contract just to make you fool. Because, He had to hide his relationship with Ronika. And it was the plan of taking the revenge made by Ronika. That day you kissed her at the restaurant. She decided to ruin our life to the fullest so you will not be able to live your happy life again."

She clarified it to me. I was haunted how she could.

Sharleen's wife held my hand tightly and said that she likes me from the beginning.
I was in anger, so kissed her and that day I touched any other girl except Ronika. I fucked Sharleen's wife for an obvious reason.

Then I decide to go into my flat. Now there was nothing left to solve things out. I had to bear the pain, the pain of being used. I went to the flat and asked her to leave.

I felt completely broken that time; my mind was choked with the thought of being used for this long. I will not believe in love again. How can anyone use this much just for a mistake? Somehow, I got the lesson for life. Do not trust anybody. I was numb. That was enough to put myself into a depression. All these years, the memory of relationship haunted me. Sometimes I still use to wake up from sleep and cry.
However, I AM HAPPY NOW and THE TERM 'IDIOT' SUITS ME INSTEAD OF HER. But "I'm happy".
