There was something special about the night, strangely I woke up with a smile on my lips but a tear in my eye. I had a strange dream. I was running in the woods with Jai, holding his hand and all of a sudden Sam appeared before us. I was happy to see him and started moving towards him. Just as I was about to reach him, I realized I was alone, I turned back and saw Jai standing way behind, telling me to move on. Before I could decide which way to head, my dream broke and I got up.
Strangely enough, even Jai had a smile on his face. I looked at him, he had a mole right above his lips, after his eyes, his mole was his best feature. I was so busy staring at his mole that I didn't realize when he opened his eyes and his hand reached to tuck the loose strand of hair behind my ear. I looked into his eyes and said, "Good morning". I don't know what happened after that but he leaned in and gently brushed his lips with mine and hugged me hard. I was so stunned for a moment that I just couldn't respond, I just stayed still in his arms. And just when I was about to break from his embrace, my phone rang. I can't explain how awkward did the love story tune sounded at that moment, even more for the fact that we both knew who was calling.
I quickly got up and rushed to the corner of the terrace, "Good morning baby", I said picking up the call.
"Hey jaan, where have you been, you didn't call last night...", he asked.
I felt a lump in my throat, "Ohh so sorry, I had a headache so I slept early yesterday", I replied lying.
I hate lying to Sam, but I have learnt that some things are better behind the covers than fully exposed. So even though Sam didn't mind me hanging out with Jai, he sure did mind me drinking and I didn't want to offend him in any way by telling him about the night.
"So are you free today", he asked.
"Ya, I will be ready in about 2 hours, pick me up from the usual spot", I replied.
"Ok, cya", he said and disconnected.
I just couldn't believe what had happened in the past 10 minutes. I turned to face Jai, I had a lot of questions for him, his act surely was unjustified, especially after me telling him how I feel for Sam the last night. But he was not there, he had already left. So with all those questions in my mind, I picked up the keys and drove back home. I wasn't sure how I was going to face Sam, somewhere deep down, I felt like I had let him down.
