I started to feel anxious after that incident and ignored talking with anybody, as much as possible. As days rolled by, my hatred towards him grew multifolds. I have seen people being rude and sarcastic. But, he is totally made up of rudeness, sarcasm, annoyance and infuriating attitude. Original piece!
After a long time, I got in touch with a friend of mine. I was messaging her and we had a good long chat. It was a feel good evening, with blossomed roses, coffee, balcony and fresh air. The back door opening to the balcony stayed closed in the next house. I guess that guy wasn't at home. That made me feel even better. I had a funny long conversation that I totally lost myself to the nostalgic moments we were talking about.
"Don't betray your boyfriend. Poor fellow."
A familiar voice! I was so into my phone that I didn't notice him standing in the balcony. He was starting an argument I suppose.
"What's your problem?"
"You girls are my problem. Every single one on the earth"
Now the quarrel is turning into a squabble.
"Can you please mind your limits?"
"Ya sure. If you girls can stay in limits, then no guy out other is going to be bothered"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean for God sake don't cheat on your boyfriend"
"What?!"
"I can see you happy, texting, smiling, talking to yourself like an idiot. But you are actually transforming someone into an idiot. Am I right?"
"Do you have any idea what others are going through? How could you be so judgemental and by the way who cares? I am talking to my school mate damn it. Look Mister, I am not bothered about your aversions. But keep that to yourself and don't ever try to annoy me. I guess your sisters are already having a tough time dealing with you"
"Thank God! I don't have any such damn elements in my life"
He was getting me on my nerves.
"Do you mean your mom too?"
He looked straight into my eyes. I am sure now he was pissed enough.
"If you dare talk about my mom, you are obliged to receive a tight slap", he said and went inside.
I was more than hurt after that incident and started to miss my dad. My dad is soft spoken, humble and an epitome of elegant qualities. He always makes people around him, feel good. He never deviated for a degree, from being a gentleman. But this guy is a disaster. His words are always polished with poison.
"Mom I am allright. I have just been to the Doctor's and he said that I am perfectly fine. It's just the after effects of having junk food all the time"
"There is no need for you to trouble yourself so much and achieve anything in life, baby. I know what you are capable of and please come back. I can't see you suffer"
"No mom. I had a busy time with my project going live. I won't have much pressure here after"
"Baby, you are too young to end up with anything serious like stomach ulcers"
"Mom, please don't imagine anything like that and worry yourself. It's nothing but just a common stomach ache. I will start cooking again and eat healthy. I am going to be fine"
I have had some severe pain in my abdomen for a while. Doctor was suspicious that it could be something serious and told me to take a series of tests. I did not disclose all that to my mom. She has always been a scaredy baby. I am feeling low because of this health concerns, but I am not scared. And that awful encounter with that guy next door has been keeping me low as well. I stopped going to the balcony and kept the door closed. I hardly go there for a couple of minutes to water the plants. My health issue, mental agony and work pressure had made me sick. I started losing on my spirit.
