It Was Always You

Past Part 15

New york, USA, Evening, 9 p.m.

Arjun's POV...

Today was super tiring day I swear, I don't know why am I being harassed to this extent...

I mean how can you expect a trainee to prepare the series of summaries for 5 freaking projects in a day without any help...

I guess, I am being punished for dating the VP's Daughter, That old freak always hated me...

And I am sick of his patented dialogue 'I don't know what my daughter sees in you'...

I feel like strangling him whenever he says that !

Why he has to remind me of my stupid mistake always, And his daughter is equally annoying...

Only good quality she possesses is that she is hot and that is all! 

And Honestly after 6 months of dating, I am tired of her, she is very clingy and interfering....

I should breakup with her I think, I mean how long can I extend this, it's nothing serious anyway

Why am I dating her?

I asked her out as a bet!

6 months ago, Random bar, NY

Arjun and his college friends were out for a boys night

'6 months to go folks, then we'll start working...' Richard raised his beer glass

'Yep! No dorm rules, no assignments, No exams... We'll be free' their friend Karim said raising his glass

'And the joy of earning our own money' 
Jerry cheered

'To the independence' Arjun raised his glass

'To the independence' they clinked their glasses together and drink their beers

'Finally I can move in with my sweet Blake...' Richard says dreamily and Arjun chuckles

'I can visit Serena anytime' Karim said

'And I...' Jerry says and looks at Arjun

'Well I am moving in with this guy...' He said sadly

'Aww... Dont be sad, I'll keep you happy...' Arjun teased and the boys laughed

'Get lost...'  Jerry hits him

'Why dont you guys find someone...' Richard suggested

Arjun stiffened at this, he thought about his last videocall with Naina when he let her use his bike to learn

'I'll find someone bro... Can't say for this guy...' He points at Arjun

And Arjun rolled his eyes 'I need to prepare for my interview at BFPG next week, I dont have time for all these...' He takes a sip of his beer

'That has nothing to do with dating...' Karim said

'I dont have that much energy to invest on someone, I'd rather learn a new skill' Arjun said dismissively

'Getting a girlfriend is a life skill...' Jerry teased

'Yea, you better learn that or you'll never find someone...' Richard suggested

Do I need to find someone? Or do I already have someone? Arjun thought to himself

Stop it Arjun ! He scolds himself
