My Broken Heart

by Pritom Barman

  “Why did it happen to me and why did Sandhya leave me?” my eyes full with tears and I said to Celina.

  “Nothing will happen by telling all this things now” Celina said to me with smile. Celina caught my shoulders and hugged me.

  “Don’t be sad Sandip I am there with you” Celina said.

  “Thanks Celina” I replied.

  “Hey Sandip where is Sandhya” Nisha asked me.

  “She went to her house” I replied.

  “Why so fast” Nisha asked. I told her all the things what had happened.

  “Don’t worry friend I promise you that she will be surly return to you because I know that she loves you. But I have today noticed her that she was not happy as she was before with you” Nisha said.

  “Yah I had also seen that but I don’t know why it was and it is none of my business. Thanks for saying this but I think she will never return to me”

  “But I will try to return Sandhya in your life again” Nisha said.

  “Thanks” I replied.

  “Hey Sandip good night” Celina said to me while she was going.

  All my friends went. I called Gig.

  “Hey Gig please help me on my and Sandhya’s love. It has got a breakup” I said in a creaking voice.

  “How did it happen?” Gig asked me. I told him all the things that had happened between us.

  “Keep loving her” Gig said to me.

  “I love her Gig. But I know she wont return now” I said almost crying.

  “When you love someone truly don’t expect love from them, just keep on loving them” Gig said.

  I tried to sleep that night. But I couldn’t. Sandhya’s thoughts filled my mind. I was feeling guilty about breaking my friendship with Sandhya. I was broken.

  The next morning I woke up but I didn’t want to go to the school. But alas! I had to attend school. Last night was still fresh in my mind. Now I had only one motive in going to school and that was to again make up my friendship with Sandhya. Will she accept me again in her life?

  I got ready and went to school.

  “Hey Sandip yesterdays party was very interesting for all of us but why you are so sad and not smiling like you usually do” David asked.

  “Nothing has happened” I replied.

  “Yes something has happened so today you are in this sad mood hey Sandip we are also your friend you can tell us what happened and may be we can help you” Ranjit said by looking at me.

  “No one of you can help me in this but still if you want to listen then listen, yesterday I had proposed to Sandhya and she said she doesn’t like me and also she said not to be friends with her” I said.

  “Then I think you should say sorry to her.” Veer said.

  “But how could I tell her that. She told me even not to come her near” I said.

  “You will have to try now to again befriend Sandhya. Don’t tell this to anyone in school. It may create problems for you later on.

  “Yes I will not tell anyone” I said.

  Then we all reached near where Sandhya waited for me but today she was not there now my heart broke into pieces which could never be joined.

  “Hey Sandip you tell her in the school whatever you want to say and don’t take these things so hard in your mind friend” David said to me.

  I reached my classroom and saw Sandhya. I saw her. I went near her but as soon as she saw me she walked away. I understood that she doesn’t want to talk to me. I had tears in my eyes. Nisha saw me and came near me.

  “Hey Sandip why are you crying? All the class students are looking at you.

  “I am there with you yar. I have told you that I will bring Sandhya back in your life. Trust me.” Nisha spoke in a promising tone.

  I was completely shattered. Sandhya had exchanged her seat with some other girl to stay away from me.

  “Hey Sandip you know that Sandhya doesn’t love you then why are you going behind to her” Celina said me.

  “Because she is my first and last love and I will never leave her” I said.

  “Ahhhh you are thinking about her in this way I think you don’t know what she thinks about you” Celina replied.

  “What does she thinks about me” I asked by looking at Celina.

  “Ok I will tell you but not now. I will call you today. Hey Sandip don’t worry I am with you” she smiled and said.

  “Hey Sandhya listen to me listen” I said to Sandhya.

  Sandhya walked towards her car without even taking any note of me.

  “Hey mom when did you came” I said to my mom with a smile when she opened the door.

  “Just two hours before” she replied. I came inside the house.

  “How were your classes today” my mom asked.

  “Not too good” I said. I went to my room.

  “Mom I don’t want to eat food” I said from my room.

  “Why you don’t want to eat?” she asked.

  “No, mom just I don’t want to eat” I said. I was just waiting for the call from Celina.

  “Hey Sandip what are you doing” Celina said.

  “I was waiting for your call. Now you say what you wanted to say to me about Sandhya” I asked her.

  “Ok then listen, Sandhya is not a good girl for you because she just wants profit from you and she doesn’t like you also a percent.” Celina said.

  “No I don’t think she is like that” I replied.

  “Now it is your choice to believe on me or not. Now if you want her back you will never get her. She has done this with many other guys.” she said.

  “I can’t believe you. Sandhya will never do these things” I said.

  “Now as I said you listen me or not but I am saying that I am always with you and I know you will soon believe me and be my good friend” Celina said.

  “Ok”

  “Ok then bye” I said.

  “Ok bye I will be waiting for your message” she said.

  I took my phone and sent Celina a message

  “Hey Celina I beliv u and u wer rit”

  Then by writing this much I sent this message to her then after a while Celina sent me the reply that

  “I knew tht u wil beliv me and I am with u

  Don”t be sad”

  “Hey guys from today don’t talk about Sandhya to me” I said looking at all my friends.

  “Why?” they said.

  “Because I know that she will not come to me and so I am also trying to forget her forever and ever from my life” I said.

  Then we reached to the school then I reached near to Celina.

  “Hey Sandip you sit on this side so that we can talk” Celina said.

  Then I took my bag and then I went to her side everything was changed. I was trying to forget Sandhya from my life but to erase a love one from the heart is very hard.

  I was normal now. My days were going quite well. Sandhya was not with me but I and Celina had become good friends.

  C h a p t e r 19

  It was a new day a morning. In the assembly it was announced that today the time table for the exam will be given by the class teacher and there will be the selection of quiz competition.

  In the class the class teacher gave us the timetable. Exam was in the next two days. I was totally prepared for the exam this time as I had promised to Sandhya.

  “Hey Sandip are you prepared for the exam?” Celina asked me.

  “Yes I am fully prepared and are you?” I asked her.

  “Yes I am also prepared” she replied.

  Today also I didn’t get even a single chance to talk to Sandhya. The English lecture was off that day. Some seniors came to our class and made an announcement for the quiz competition.

  “Those students who want to participate in the quiz compotation they can stand give their names” one of the student of the higher class said.

  I stood up and with me two or three students stood up. We gave them our names.

  “The quiz will be held on the day o
f the last examination” one of the student of the higher class told.

  “Hey Sandip you will participate in quiz?” Celina asked me.

  “Yes why not” I replied.

  “It will be very hard and how will you manage in both, also in exam and quiz” Celina asked me.

  “I will manage it” I said.

  I came home and started studying after having my lunch.

  Next day in the school also we all were revising the syllabus for the exams. I wished everyone best of luck. Celina came to me and gave me a red rose and a greeting card wishing me good luck for the exams.

  C h a p t e r 20

  After coming back home I decided to wish all my friends all the very best for the exams. So I texted everyone. This time I thought of messaging Sandhya also. Almost all of my friends replied to my message. But there was no reply from Sandhya. Celina was right that Sandhya was with me just for the profit I thought.

  Escaping her thoughts I again concentrated on my studies. While sleeping I once again checked for a reply from Sandhya but alas! There was no reply whatsoever from her side.

  “Son best of luck for the exam” my mom said while I was leaving for school the next day..

  When I got the question paper in my hand I went through it and found out that it was a rather very easy paper. I knew answers to all the questions.

  Just like my first science paper, all the other exams went off quite well. The credit of my examination went to Sandhya. She was the one who had told me to work hard.

  As announced earlier we had our quiz competition after the exam. Everyone assembled on the ground. To my utter surprise I won the quiz contest. Everyone was very happy for me. All my friends and teachers congratulated me.

  “Hey congratulations for getting the first prize” Celina said. “Thanks” I said.

  “I think this time your examination also went very well” Celina asked.

  “Yes I think this is all because of Sandhaya who thought me to try hard in my life never to give up” I said.

  Celina got angry by my statement and left from there.

  “Hey what’s this trophy for?” my driver asked.

  “It’s my quiz first prize” I replied.

  “How was your exam?” he again asked.

  “I think this time it was fantastic” I again replied.

  “Hey Sandip did you chang your girlfriend?” my drive asked.

  “Yes but how do you know?” I said.

  “Because unlike your first girlfriend, your second girlfriend keeps on wandering near you” he teased me.

  “Will you not kiss her this time?” the driver said.

  “No, you first take me to the house it will be better” I said to the driver.

  I reached my house and knocked at the door. The maid opened the door. I came in.

  “Mom and dad didn’t come back yet?” I asked looking at the maid.

  “No” she replied.

  “Hey I am proud of you my son that you brought this trophy” my dad said with a smile on his face. Mom said the same. Both were happy.

  “You should make us happy also through your examination results” my mom said.

  “Yes mom why not this time I will” I said by looking at her.

  “Ok then we will see” she said.

  I went to my room and started playing games on my laptop. My cell phone beeped. It was a text from Nisha.

  “Hey Sandip I think Sandhya realize her

  Mistake and she told me that she also loves u

  And now she is asking u sorry 4 it”

  After reading this message I was not happy at all I gave a reply to Nisha

  “Hey Nisha now I don’t lik Sandhya also

  I think she will never realize her mistake

  And now I am in love with another girl and

  I think she also loves me”

  In sometime I got a text from Sandhya

  “Hey Sandip I am sorry for what had happened

  Before but I love you still please don”t leave me

  And that time I didn’t say I love you because of some

  Misunderstanding so forgive me“

  I didn’t reply to her message. In a while I got another message from her.

  “Hey Sandip I am waiting for you reply once again

  I am sorry”

  I wrote a reply to her that

  “U, don’t disturb me and don’t send me any message”

  After that I didn’t receive any message from her and even I didn’t text her. I was thinking about Celina. I thought that I had fallen in love with her. I wanted to call her up but there was no network in my cell. I was missing her.

  Next day was a holiday and on Monday we were going to get our papers. I decided that if I get 95% I will take Celina out on a date.

  C h a p t e r 21

  Monday morning I was very excited to see my papers.

  I reached at the school and saw Celina.

  “Hey Celina are you afraid today” I asked her.

  “Not much but little” she said.

  “Hey I was calling you yesterday was your cell switch off” I asked Celina.

  “Yes I didn’t charge it so it was switchd off” she said.

  Sandhya came near me. “Sandip I am sorry what happened in between us lets start again everything from the beginning” Sandhya said by apologizing. I said nothing.

  “I still love you and I didn’t accept your proposal because of Celina she said many wrong things about you to me and I had believed on it Sandip you please believe me now. She likes you only for your famousness in the school and she needs your profit” Sandhya again said.

  “You don’t say anything about Celina to me. I know your realities now. And now I am in love with Celina and it will be better if you don’t come between our love” I said in an angry voice looking at Sandhya.

  “Sandip I love you and love you and I don’t need anything from you. I just need your love for me” Sandhya said with tears in her eyes.

  I became very upset by Sandhyas behavior. In the class our class teacher came and started distributing papers to us.

  He called my name. I went and took my paper and I got the highest in the class and my marks were 96 out of 100. I was very happy to see my marks. Even Celina had scored quite well in all the subjects.

  In the last period our teacher came in the class and asked who had scored the highest marks. Everyone took my name.

  The teacher congratulated me and everyone clapped for me.

  “Sandip try to understand me Celina wants only profit from you and she only needs the credits which you got” Sandhya said to me.

  “Hey I think you are jealous of her” I said in an angry voice to Sandhya.

  “Hey Sandip; Sandhya is right why you don’t understand her” Nisha and Ishant said. I said nothing and then I went out of the class. I called Celina.

  “Hey Celina are you free tonight” I asked.

  “Yes I am” she replied.

  “Then will you come with me today to the green valley restaurant” I asked her.

  “Yes why not I will come” she said.

  “Ok then be ready at 6pm tonight” I replied.

  “Ok I will be ready” she said.

  “Mom I just need some money to enjoy with my friends” I again said a lie to my mom to go on a date with Celina. She gave me five hundred rupees.

  “Mom I will be going at 5: 30 to my friends place” I said.

  I got ready for my date and went to pick up Celina.

  C h a p t e r 22

  I sent a message to Celina

  “Hey r u ready”

  She sent me a reply of that

  “Yah I m ready”

  I wrote in the message that

  “Hey then I m coming 2 pick u now”

  I went to the driver.

  “Hey lets go” I said to the driver.

  “Hey Sandip I think it’s a date with your new girlfriend” the driver asked me.

  “Yes” I replied.
<
br />   I showed him the way where to go to Celina’s house. We reached to her house. I saw Celina. She was wearing a black halter neck top and a jeans. I opened the door of the car. I told the driver to drive the car to green valley restaurant.

  “Hey you are looking very beautiful” I said with a smile by looking at Celina.

  “Thanks Sandip” Celina replied. We both reached to the restaurant.

  “Hey in these days I think we are getting closer and closer” Celina said.

  “Yes and I think its not good” I said.

  “It’s good to be close” she replied.

  “Please bring two plates of american chopsy” I said to the waiter.

  We both kept on talking for a while. The waiter placed our order on the table.

  “These days Sandhya always comes and disturbs me in the school by saying things which had happened earlier were not true it’s all because of you but I don’t agree to it” I said.

  “Hey you don’t listen to her” Celina said in an anger voice.

  “Hey Sandip I wane tell you something that is very much special. I love you” Celina said to me in a very sweet voice when we came out of the restaurant. Then as she said this she kissed me on my cheeks.

  “I know that you love me but I want to hear that from your mouth” Celina said.
