Do something Cupid {End}
Cupid:
Hey! Hey! Just wait! So now, these two – one dumb and other desperate are blaming me for their own failures. Just because you’ve known me as a naked white toddler with wings doesn’t mean that I am blindly hitting people. Yeah! I agree that sometimes shit happens like Abhishek and Aishwarya but then most of the time, I hit bingo. Now don’t take names like Sajid Khan and Jacqueline or Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez, I’ve already corrected them long back. C’mon, even I have to achieve my targets before March 30.
Anyway, about this Shreya and Ayan what else could I’ve done for them to make it work. He says, hit both? Dude! Do you think a girl like Shreya had ever agreed to go for a date with an IT geek like you who haven’t yet made it to Onsite? Do you even know her grades in college? You failed twice in Maths. I agree you’re cute but then that little paunch, what you’re doing for it yet? Remember, she is the prettiest bong in town.
How do you think that night the train slowed down suddenly so that you can get down and be a hero? She wanted to block you immediately when you made that stupid call to her but then I put her Wi-Fi off and later on she forgot. And that stupid jacket you were wearing all the time, be thankful that I let you get rid of it and even if Shreya remembers you by mistake, it’s just for that. That night, the temperature went down suddenly and you only gave her the jacket when she was literally shivering. I gave you a chance to be Shahrukh Khan and you wanted to be Emraan Hashmi. Get lost loser!
And now let’s talk about this girl, Shreya! Why so serious? Every time you curse a man, remember that even your dad is a man. Just because you once dated a loser who ditched you doesn’t mean that you wage a war against the mankind. Life is to move on. You see, life isn’t a fairy tale. If you lose your shoe at midnight; you would be walking home barefoot, that’s it! You curse me all the time but trust me, I didn’t hit when you were with him. Perhaps, I was thinking that you would friend-zone him but you wanted to make babies with him. IIT gives engineering degree and not character certificate. That’s the problem with todays’ girls when you just care for degree, status and most importantly money. Search love in a relationship and not security. Marriage is not about the perfect ingredient in a person but it is just about a person.
You keep those romantic quotes from Nicholas Spark’s novel as what’s app status and ‘Waiting for Augustus Waters’ as Facebook cover and when you find such a guy, you block him. You say you want someone to hold your hand while you cross the road, Ayan held your hand till you reached home. Just because those three idiots in train were staring at you, he was almost up to break their teeth. Ask an IT engineer how much it is important to sleep in weekends and he chose to travel six hours just to meet you. Yeah! He wanted to kiss you but then didn’t you too wanted the same? Love is not to be cautious. It demands to let loose, that’s how you fall in love. Anyway, even if it was wrong then what was correct? Not talk to him ever before meeting or demanding to talk to his parents when you were never nice to him. If Ayan took two days to fall for you, you fell for him the moment you met him and that wasn’t because of me. You read so many fairy tales, still you don’t know that every Fairy Tale ends with a kiss. I wonder if you still think that hitting you for Ayan was a mistake.
Of course, I know no matter how much you curse, you still see his that photo which you took secretly that night. All you need is just a simple ‘Hi’ on what’s app and you will get what you’ve been longing for too long. Most of the relationship these days does not get along because we still couldn’t figure out who will message first. In your case, he is not messaging you ever because you have blacklisted him.
Ever thought why I am still a child and hit with an arrow? Because love never grows old and love hurts. I hope both of you had realized this till now. So, I give you one last chance and hope that you don’t have to curse me again.

Ayan Pal:
‘I have a booking.’ I argued with the bouncer outside Blue Frog.
‘You had. You had called an hour before to cancel it. It’s taken now.’ He said.
‘But I didn’t call you.’
‘Sorry sir.’ He showed me the way outside.
Trust me, I didn’t cancel the booking at all. Even my friends didn’t believe me but then we had now passed the age to argue with the Bouncer further. We gave up as I had a good if not a better plan.
I drove to Marine Drive.

Shreya Ganguly:
Engagements are boring, especially for a six year old boy and a presumptuous pretty girl. His name is Sayandeep by the way and he was the only guy in the party who didn’t want to sleep with me. I hated those dodgy eyes look at me. A backless dress was such a bad idea, you see.
‘Aunty! I want to go home.’ He tucked my gown.
‘I guess I have a better idea.’ I leaned to him. ‘Let’s go out and have some ice-cream.’
I wore the jacket as we walked down the stairs towards the opposite side of the road. The memories from that beautiful night hit my mind. Marine Drive, why you’re so awesome.

If not some expensive whisky and bang on music, Ayan and his friends were enjoying the cool breeze and puffs of cigar when something hit him. He looked around to find a little kid standing there.
‘Who are you?’ Ayan smiled at the kid.
‘Just hide me, my Aunty is searching me.’
‘Aunty?’ Ayan looked around to see someone familiar approaching him.
He smiled look at her while she looked at him surprisingly. When you find something good without looking for it, it’s called Serendipity.
‘Nice Jacket!’ He winked
‘Thanks.’ She blushed.
