My Vampire Girlfriend {Chapter 4}

‘Is this for me?’ I asked as Sunayana handed me a packet.

‘Open it.’

I quickly unwrapped the gift paper. ‘Wow! Babes! It’s a jacket. I wanted this since long. How did you know I wanted one?’

‘Well… I can read your mind right?’ She smiled and I took her in my arms.

My life changed completely after I and Sunayana got together. She had been very different from other girls I have known. She never cared if I worked for Volkswagen or was a university topper. She would never complain if had no six packs abs and was not even planning to get them. When we made plans, she always considered us; it was never I or she. There was never any expectation from her side; she let me do what I wanted. She loved me for what I am and trust me, I am not exaggerating but such girls do exist, though very rare.

I was now relaxed. I now stopped hating being in Symbiosis. Perhaps, I thanked god that I reached there because that’s where I met Sunayana. I started realizing that my Symbiosis days were to be my best in life. If earlier I had a hurry to complete the course now I wished it never came to an end. Those mock up acts suddenly seemed interesting as I and Sunayana acted in them together. All the time that I was in college, I spend with Sunayana. The only thing that I didn’t like about her is that she would always leave for home before dark. I missed her as I had to wait till next day to see her but then hostel was cool too, back to counter strike days. I was still good at it and there were very few in the hostel who could put me down. When I was with Alisha, I hardly had time for friends as most of the time after office, I went out with her. Hence, I hardly stayed in touch with my college mates but now with Sunayana, my life was more balanced. She gave me ample space to re-unite with my old friends, she even joined me when I met my friends and the best thing about her was that she would never call me or ask me to meet when there was a Barcelona match on TV. A perfect life wasn’t a myth.

‘You are so happy these days, dude! I like this new Ankur.’ My friends said.

‘All credits goes to my pretty girlfriend.’ I beamed.

‘Oh yeah! Where is she?’

‘She won’t be joining us today. She said I should go for an all guys party.’

‘Whoa! Are you serious?’

‘Yep!’ I nodded.

‘And on the top that dude, she is so pretty.’

‘Hmmm…’ I could just smile.

‘Who’s that noble lady? I wish I could meet her.’ One of my friends had brought his office colleague.

‘Well, maybe next time she is around. I’ll give you a call.’

‘For now, just show him her photo and make him jealous.’ He pulled my phone.

‘C’mon! Don’t be silly. Just give me back my phone.’ I protested.

‘Look she is calling.’

Sunayana was actually calling.

‘Babes!’ I picked the call and there is was this loud cheer behind me as I said that. I looked at my friends furiously.

‘I guess I called on the wrong time. I am sorry. Call me when you get time. Take care.’ She hung up.

‘Guys! Behave yourself.’ I scolded my friends.

‘What did she say?’

‘Well… She said that she called on wrong time and kept the phone.’

‘That’s it!’

‘She said sorry.’

‘Really?’ My friend was shocked.

‘What’s so surprising in that?’

‘Don’t you think there is something fishy in it?’

‘Like what?’

‘How come she could be so nice? She doesn’t behave like girl?’

‘What do you mean?’

‘The other day, I saw her paying your bill.’

‘Yeah! She does that sometimes. She says she is an independent girl.’

‘C’mon dude! Even Priyanka Chopra doesn’t pay on date and she is Sunayana Verma. Don’t tell me, she gives you gifts too.’

‘Yeah! She does. She gave me this jacket then one key chain, a costly pen and also few books.’

‘This is unbelievable. Dude! There is something really wrong.’

‘Excuse me!’ My friend’s colleague cut in. ‘May I see which Sunayana, you’re talking about? I mean I know one.’

I showed her Sunayana’s picture.

‘Hey! I know her. She is a sweet girl.’

I heaved a sigh of relief. ‘How do you know her?’

‘I was with her in college.’

‘Oh! Wow! See, you people were on unnecessarily sensationalizing the matter’

‘I have her picture too.’ He now showed an old college picture of his classmates.

‘Ankur! Doesn’t she look same as she did five years back?’

‘Well… She should advertise for Santoor.’

‘Fuck man! You don’t get my point. Anyway do you know anything else about her?’ My friend asked his colleague.

‘She wasn’t that social in college but she had one boyfriend.’ He bit his tongue.

‘Oh! That’s ok! Sunayana had told me about him. Even I had a girlfriend not a big deal. Let’s have a drink.’ I shrugged off the topic.

Even though my friend wanted to investigate further, I insisted that we watch the match after all you don’t see Barcelona taking on Man U every day. Perhaps, there were other friends too who were now getting bored.

***

The match ended well before 3 am yet we were awake even one hour after that, we were tired and sloshed after drinking like pig. We had already finished four bottles among six of us yet we didn’t want to sleep and we continued to lounge in my place while my friend went around.

‘Ankur! What’s this?’

‘It’s a book, dude!’

‘You read it?’

‘No. Sunayana gifted me.’

‘Ankur! This is Twilight series, stories of Vampires.’

‘So? She likes them. She fanatically follows Vampire Diaries too.’

‘I knew it. Hey! Can you just tell me where the guy Sunayana dated in college is?’ My friend pestered his colleague again.

‘I don’t know. I never heard of him after college.’

‘How will you hear about if he is not alive anymore?’

‘What do you mean?’ I was now getting frustrated due to his constant questioning about her.

‘Ankur! Don’t you get it? She is not a human, she is a Vampire.’

‘What? No. Are you mad? What are you talking?’

‘Didn’t you see? She doesn’t age. She is too caring. Nobody knows her where about and her ex boyfriend is probably dead.’

‘Fuck you damn! How can you believe such thing? Vampires are myth.’

‘How do I explain you? Wait… Vampires don’t sleep. Give her a call, if she is not Vampire, she won’t pick the call as she would be sleeping.’

‘I’m not doing that.’ I refused.

‘C’mon dude! Please. Do it. We will be confirmed at least.’

‘I love Sunayana.’

‘Yeah! But we don’t know much about her. You know her for just few weeks.’

‘OK! Fine! I am calling her.’

I dialled her number and anxiously waited for her to pick. I so much prayed that our all notion come false and I was heard. She didn’t pick. I called her again, she didn’t pick again.

‘Dial once again.’

‘Enough! I can’t tolerate further against my girlfriend.’

‘Ankur! I’m just a caring friend.’ He justified.

‘Oh! Just fuck off!’ I bawled at him.

There was a silence for a moment in my room after my raised voice. It turned ugly with my friends and I so much didn’t want that to happen that night. My friend too realized it and just when he was about to say sorry. My phone rang.

Sunayana calling.

My fingers trembled as I reached for the slide on my phone to pick the call.

‘Hello!’ I said.

‘Hi Baby! You called.’

‘Yes! I did. I was missing you.’

‘Aww! Baby, I miss you too. I missed your call. I was in another room.’

This was actually stupid thing to think that Sunayana was vampire but then facts don’t lie. I and my friend investigated more about her and there were two things we had zeroed to prod further. First was that I had to know if she had a family or not and why does she leave for home exactly at same time every day. Second thing was that where was her ex boyfriend. Moreover, I also wanted to know why was her name Sunayana. Wasn’t this name too old for this age? One of my grandma’s friend’s name was that. I searched google but then there was no proof whatsoever and no consistent criteria of being a vampire. Even though, it was a torture, I watched the whole twilight series to know more and I did come up with few contradicts. Sunayana ate normal food which vampires don’t as per the series. Sunayana is not even scared of Sun, she didn’t shine in Sun either. Perhaps, she was eagerly waiting for us to go to Alibaug so that she can take a sunbath. The similarities to the facts were of course the one my friend said earlier, she did have prominent dark circles around her eyes and they were deep and hypnotizing, the perfect design for a Vampire.

‘I will leave then.’ She pecked on my cheeks.

‘Can’t you wait more?’ I asked.

‘No.’

‘Sunayana! I want to meet your parents. Did you tell them?’

‘No. Don’t you think it’s too early?’

‘I thought you love me.’

‘Yes, I do but I want we know each other more.’

‘I guess you trust me that’s why you me.’

‘I love you, baby. Why you’re behaving so strange?’

‘What did I say? I just want to meet your parents. Are you not confident that it will work between us?’ I hailed at her.

‘Ankur! What you’re saying? Are you nuts?’

‘I said I want to meet your parents. Stop behaving like Alisha.’

‘Shut up Ankur! Don’t you dare to compare me with that bitch. My parents are not in town.’

‘Then why you want to go home so early.’

‘I’m tired, that’s why!’

‘Fine, then take me with you. I want to see your place.’

‘Ankur! What’s wrong with you? I’m scared now.’

‘Why can’t you take me to you place?’

‘I know what you’re thinking. It’s not happening so soon.’

‘Why not? You love me right?’

‘But there is a difference, this not love. I am not ready for it now.’

‘I knew it, you would refuse.’

‘Oh God! Let’s go. If you want it so much, let’s do it.’

She agreed that easily. Whoa! Wasn’t that too quick? She wanted me to come to her place all alone. Then what? Her so called parents who are out of town will appear, maybe there would be few more of them and they will feast on me. I crumbled inside as I thought about it. I was going nowhere with her.

‘Ok! Fine. I didn’t mean that.’

‘Why you’re backing out now. C’mon let’s go.’ She insisted.

‘I said no. I am not coming. You go home.’

I almost ran from the scene leaving her behind. She called me in the evening but I ignored. When I met her in college, I made sure I don’t meet her alone. I thought to get over my doubts then only take forward the relationship.

‘Ankur! You’ve changed.’

‘I am not. Just I am bit tensed about my future.’

‘Hmmm…’

‘Why you’re so cold about my future?’

‘I said nothing about it.’

‘Exactly! Why don’t you say something about it?’

‘Ankur! Get normal first, I guess then we can talk.’

‘I’m normal. Ok! Fine. You don’t want to talk about future then let’s talk about your past then.’

‘I guess I already told you.’

‘Where is your ex boyfriend now? He is alive?’

‘What?’

‘Where is he?’

‘I don’t know.’

‘You said you loved him.’

‘Yes! I did. That was long back. Now I love you. I fucking don’t know what’s my ex is doing. I am not in touch with him. I don’t care where he is, alive or dead. Anything else?’ She put her hands on her hips as she completed.

‘I didn’t mean that.’

‘Anyway, I am pissed off. I need a break. You only call me when you get normal. I will be waiting for the Ankur for him I fell head over heels.’ She said and walked from there.

I didn’t stop her either. I was back avoiding her and this time even she didn’t come back to me. Meanwhile my friend and his colleague used their resources to find her ex boyfriend but they weren’t successful. In between all these chaos, days passed and soon it was the time for Alibaug trip. I had kept my college friends away from this and hence they too added me and Sunayana to the plans. Perhaps, for them, the bet was still on. Sunayana met me a day before and I asked her if she was done with her break. She hugged and said she didn’t want a break. She just wanted me.

***

I had a simple plan in my mind as I stepped in Alibaug, I would not be with her alone at any cost. Where ever we went that I just followed the group. Sunayana complained a few times but I just didn’t pay any heed. But then at night I got the scare of my life. I and Sunayana were given a separate room. Since, my college friends were unaware of all the happenings, they wouldn’t believe if I told them that I doubted that Sunayana was a Vampire.

I called my friend and told him everything.

‘Dude! You need to be alert.’

‘I will jump from the balcony and run away.’

‘You better do that. You see, it’s new moon today.’

Fuck! I was dead. This was happening so true. I didn’t want to go to Sunayana anymore. I tried to run but my friends caught and pushed me to the room. I tried to tell them about it but they wouldn’t listen at all. Perhaps, they offered to give me double if I managed a blow job. I was finally pushed in the room with that Vampire.

‘Hi Baby!’ She said.

‘Hi!’ I looked at her. She was wearing a very short top and hot pants. She looked damn sexy that for moment I didn’t mind being killed by her.

‘So finally it’s going to happen.’

‘What??’

‘Love. You and me. This is what you wanted, right?’

‘But you said that you were not ready for this.’

‘I guess I am ready now.’ She walked to me and then pushed me to the wall. She started to unbutton me. ‘I love you.’

She then pulled me towards her and shocked with a passionate kiss. For moment, it completely hypnotized me. I forgot my fears. I held her tight and kissed fervently. She turned wild and bit my lips hard.

‘Ouch!’ I cried and pushed her away.

She came towards. I was bleeding, she was looking at me like a hungry lioness and then she pounced on me.

‘I am bleeding.’

‘It’s ok. A little pain is ok.’

‘Why you’re doing this?’

‘Doing what?’

‘Why you want to kill you? I love you so much.’

‘Kill you? What you’re saying?’

‘I know. You’re a Vampire.’

‘What?’ She looked at me. ‘Are you drunk?’

‘C’mon, I investigated about you.’

‘And what you found?’
