Khao Girlfriend Kasam
[Take an oath on your girlfriend]

" Anyways, how did you know I was lying? " I asked Sahil who was giving narcissistic expressions. "Apart from it being too obvious, ofcourse "

Yeah, I have self realisation.

" You stuttered, you made mistakes specially the 'before I forget the story', your expressions and most importantly your leg which was shaking under the table. The dots were easy to connect. " He replied shrugging.

The damn leg! It can't stop shaking when I'm nervous. And my damn face doesn't have an option to hide expressions.

" Noted, I'll not repeat this again. Thankyou. The dinner was great, I shall leave now " I made the excuse to run away from this conversation but I failed.

" Wait, Are you going to tell me the reason or your parents? " He asked, basically threatened.

" Who are you to interfere in my life? Just a random guest who attended the wedding only for food and whose name probably no one will remember in years? " I shot back.

" You know what, Sort it out with your parents. I didn't wish to poke in your matters anyway. I'm calling your parents " He said and removed his phone from his pocket. I snatched the phone as soon as it came into my view.

" You're not calling anyone. I ain't an 5 year old. I'm legally an adult and I can make my own decisions. Thankyou for the concern you're showing for my family but they don't need it. Neither do I. " I replied trying to keep my tone calm.

I'm not going be caged again. No.

" You don't even care about what people will think of you? Huh. And give me my phone " I rolled my eyes at this question.

" If I think what people will think about me then what will they do? Let them think. Does it look like I care? And I'll not give you your phone " I stated.

" What about the groom's reputation? He will be humiliated that his bride left him " His brows furrowed.

"Oh my my, In which world do you live, Mister? When a man leaves the wedding, the woman is blamed saying she must've lacked something. When a woman leaves the wedding, the woman is blamed saying she could not handle the family. So no one will blame your dear groom. I'm the one who'll be judged, and honestly I do not give a shit "

" That's not true " was all he could reply. I just showed him a thumbs up.

" See, I didn't mean to argue. I never wanted to confront you. It's just my mother, she asked me to make sure you aren't in any danger. From the pre wedding rituals, no body could have guessed that you'll run. Your family is concerned about you, they are trying to find you, contact you. No one wants your bad, they are your family after all. " He said and his voice very gentle.

He has never seen the bad side of the world, has he?

" Well, what's the age of the groom? " I asked.

" He must be around 32 " he replied.

" And what do you think my age is? " I asked again. This time his eyes scrutinized my face cleary.

" 24? " He asked and I shook my head.

Oh my my, I look so old? No way! He has some problem in his sight. Or his brain. Or did I forget to wash my face? Or it's just the stress of running away. Yeah the stress is the option I choose as an excuse.
