Chapter 2
“Hell-hello.” I stuttered when I recognised the sexy voice of Ethan. His voice was soothing and had a calming effect on me.
“I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you. It was just a dare–”
“But you’ve hurt me,” I said and swallowed the big lump which was forming inside my throat. I wished that he hadn’t played that trick on me.
“I..I..” he trailed off. I was sure that he hadn’t got any good reason except that it was a dare. But all of a sudden, a question came in my mind.
“How did you get my number?” I asked confusingly. I wanted to know the answer but before I could hear any response, a feminine voice echoed in my ears. It was my mom. I was nervous so I hung up. I regretted this action because it was simply rude.
“Oh, sweetie.” She said and entered in my room. She looked around to see any sign of dirt or misplaced object but she didn’t find anything.
“Ah! This room is even cleaner than mine,” She said and sat beside me on my bed. She looked at me and grinned. It was a suspicious movement.
“What?” I asked irritated.
“Can I go out for two weeks?” She asked very hastily. Her voice was laced with nervousness. Her eyes were glued to the floor.
“With whom?” I asked because I knew that she was hiding something. She didn’t ask for my permission while looking in my eyes.
“Jonathan. Jonathan Kenway,” She said hesitantly. Her voice was timid and quivering.
I pulled my mom in a big hug. I pulled back and gave her a warm smile
.
“It’s your life, mom,” I said with an amicable grin.
“Oh! I’m just so lucky to have an understandable daughter like you,” she said and patted my head gently.
“I need to go and pack now,” she said excitedly and ran out of my room.
I pulled out the my diary which was kept beneath the pillow by me. I opened it and read a poem which was written by me for my dad. It was written on the day when I got the news that my dad was diagnosed of cancer.
You’re my life, Oh Dad!
Please don’t leave me ever.
I know that I’m a little bad.
But I want you forever.
God is so unkind
He is snatching you away
You care for me every time
Whether its night or day
I want god to take away my life
To save the breath of yours
I want god to save your life
Because you’re chaste and pure.
I smiled and tears were rolling down my cheeks. My heart was heavy and I wanted to convey all the thoughts going through my mind so I took out my pen and began writing diary entry.
Dear Diary,
I’m writing after a long period of time. Yeah! I know that you’re angry with me but I’M SORRY. Well, It had been almost five years since my father died. I don’t forget to remember him every day. I just pray to god to keep him happy wherever he is. I know that lots of things change in five years. My mother has decided to move on. She thought that I won’t realise that she likes Jonathan. Being a co-worker in her office and a good friend, he has made a good place in the heart of my mother. I totally support and respect the decision of my mother but I’m in a dilemma. It’s not regarding Jonathan and mom but it’s regarding me. People say that true love happens only once. People who are lucky enough get a chance to live their life with the people they love but some people experience only heart-break. But is it easy to move on? Can I stop loving Ethan? Can I choose someone else over him? Can I crave for someone else? Can I want to kiss someone else? My biggest question is – Can love happen twice?
Good-bye.
I closed the diary and threw it on the other side of bed. I laid upon my bed, staring at the ceiling with teary eyes. I didn’t know when my crush converted into infatuation. I didn’t know why I felt bad when he played trick on me. I was thinking about everything related to love and Ethan when suddenly my mobile buzzed. I picked it up and saw that there was a message. I opened it and it was a message from Ethan.
Ethan: I’m sorry 😥
Me: I don’t wanna talk about this. Just tell me, How did you get my number???
Ethan: I took it from Lily 😛
Me: Go to hell 😡
Ethan: Please, sweetheart.
My heart skipped a beat when I read the message. He considered me a sweetheart. Sweat was running down my forehead. My whole body was trembling and my mind was blank. I raised my quivering fingers and typed my message.
Me: Why did you call me SWEETHEART ?
Ethan: Because you’ve a sweet heart 😛
Me: Huh! Good-bye.
Ethan: Wait! Did you expect something else?
Me: Why am I going to expect anything from you?
Ethan: Smart girl B) Are you coming next two weeks ?
Me: Nah! These two dance weeks are totally boring and useless. Moreover, It’s not compulsory to participate in dance competition so it’s a big NO-no for me.
Ethan: Okay. Good Bye 🙂
He sent the last message and I sighed in disappointment. I continues staring and re-reading his messages for two hours. I smiled each and every time when I read the word ‘sweetheart’ on my display screen. I wanted to hear his voice. I wanted to know how it would be like to hear the word ‘sweetheart’ from his very own voice. I wanted him to call me ‘sweetheart’.
After eating my dinner and re-reading his message for about five more times, I slept.

“Crystal!” I heard a shout. I left Ethan’s shirt on the bed and ran towards the door. I opened it and saw a very worried looking Lily in front of me. She had changed a lot. Her long blonde locks were looking shiny and smooth. Her green eyes were calm, refreshing and comfortable. She had achieved a good model body through continuous workout and yoga.
“Why are you here?” I asked lazily. She ignored my question and entered in my room.
“Gross!” She screamed at the top of her lungs. I scowled at her and then looked around the drawing-room. It was really a gross. My clothes were lying all over the floor. My books were scattered over the table. The old boxes of Pizza and old wrappers of burgers were covering each part of my house. i couldn’t believe that It was MY house.
“I can’t believe that It’s YOUR house,” Lily said while shaking her head disappointedly.
“Um, You know the reason,” I said to her while scratching the back of my neck.
“Have you bathed today?” She asked while folding her arms across her chest.
I raised my eyebrows and then realised that I’ve not bathed from last one week. I even realized that I’ve not eaten anything from the last two days. Suddenly my stomach made a big, embarrassing noise.
“Oh, Dear,” Lily said and hugged my tightly.
“Don’t pity me,” I said firmly and pulled back to look in her eyes which were filled with sympathy. It was the only thing, people thought I was worthy of.
“I think you should move on,” She said politely.
“No!” I shouted.
I took a deep breath to calm myself down. I finally asked, “how can you expect this to me?”
She lowered her head and bit her lip nervously.”I think you should mar–”
“Shut up and get out!” I shouted so loudly that my head began throbbing.
She dilated her eyes at my sudden reaction. With fury brewing inside me, I held her arm tightly and dragged her towards my door.
“Wait, Crystal!” She shouted in a concerned way but it didn’t influence me at all. I pushed her forward. She stumbled a little but regained her balance soon. She turned to see me with tears in her eyes. I gritted my teeth and slammed the door on her face.
“I don’t want any sympathy,” I shouted at the door in a hope that she would be standing outside and hearing me.
“I’m happy with the memories of Ethan and–”
My throat was getting dry and never-ending tears were flowing out of my eyes.
“I don’t want to marry anyone else,” I said loudly and sat on the floor.
I was feeling very bad because I shouted on my only friend. Everyone had gone away. No one was there for me. I let them go away because they were all same. They showed me sympathy and gave me a useless advice. I was happy just being alone with the memories of Ethan.
