Episode 11


You're such a sick fellow and you know that" Jane yelled at Jay as they entered his house. She was burning in anger, typically furious, her eyes popped out of their socket and she didn't mince words in throwing them at him. She seemed to have had enough.
"What the f*ck you just did back there, Jay? Why you've got to so embarrass me like that, in my mums presence?, Jay, Jay, what is wrong with you?" Her voice was calm now, she steadied her gaze on Jay who was dead with silent. She understood something was wrong but his inability to voice out the problem kept her off balance. She assumed he was doing all this intentionally, to hurt her, probably. But why would he want to hurt her with his skeptical attitude. This was a question she couldn't answer, however, She has had enough.
"You don't wanna say a thing, Jane continued, You so got me embarrassed before my mum, you couldn't give a proper introduction of yourself, you couldn't get a seat when you were offered to sit down, you couldn't say a word during the discussion, you couldn't even locate the plate of soup, you couldn't eat the food my mum offered you, all you could do was go to the toilet, come back and requested to leave?" Her voice was louder now amidst the tears rolling down from her eyes, she shook her head and bit her lips hard. With her eyes closed, she touched Jay and said unrepentantly, "I'm done with you Jay, I can't keep up with this any longer, enjoy your solitary life". She left banging the door so hard that it nearly went off its hinges.

Episode 12.


You're so sick and you know that, I'm done with you, I'm fed up of all these, i can't keep up with this any longer..." Jane's statements reverberated in Jay's head as he sat on the floor pondering on what just happened. Tears kept flowing freely from his eyes. He was tired, he was tired of being spoken to in the same manner everyday, every time. He was tired of being addressed to as a proud and arrogant fellow when he wasn't. He was tired of being clapped back at for his lack of communication skills. And now the height of it, he lost his girlfriend, his happiness, his comfortability, his only partner, the only person he could relate to comfortably, the only person he could tell his problems, was gone. She had left him and she had every right to. His attitude has put her off and finally sent her away. He listened to the words as they fell heavily on him, he watched her leave but he couldn't stop her. He now wished he did stop her, but it was late; what his stupid nature had put him to. He looked at himself, realising how empty he was, he collapsed into tears, uncontrollable tears.

TWO WEEKS LATER.....

"I got a message for you Sir, delivered by one miss Jane" the postman said cheerfully and handed the letter to Jay who's eyebrows raised in confusion. From Jane? What was it all about? why did she had to send a message through a postman instead of phone? What was in the postcard? When he realised he couldn't answer any of these question, he thanked the postman and closed the door, opening the postcard in anxiousness. It was a wedding invitation card and it read...

"the families of Mr Fada Slim and Mr Johnson Gild invite you to the wedding ceremony of their children, Miss Jane Slim, Jane slim? His ex girlfriend?. Something hit his head ferociously, he couldn't understand it. A quick glance at the card again gave him cold feet .... Miss Jane Slim and Mr Sam Gild. "Jesus!" Sam?" Jay screamed. Just two weeks gone off his failed relationship and Jane's getting married to his friend, Sam?. The invitation letter slip off his hands and with a sudden rush Jay lost hold of himself and hit his head on the edge of the bed.

"... the wedding ceremony of miss Jane Slim and Mr Sam Gild..." It kept reverberating in his head like an echo that has come to stay.

I'll be concluding the story today, I nearly forgot its a short story and I was stretching words.

How will Jay end up? Will the successive experiences he had in the few weeks; a failed relationship and a heartbreaking invitation, eventually change his nature? Or will he end up in a pool of his own miserable state? angry

Fingers crossed. lipsrsealed

Episode 13


"Doc what, what, what happened doc, talk to me doc, what happened to him?" Jane said panting. She was breathing heavily. She had hot streams of tears flowing freely from her eyes as she followed the doctor in a frantic manner. She was shabbily dressed too, guess the terrible news caught her unawares.

"He was seen in his apartment lying motionless on the floor, we saw pills of medicine scattered beside him and a glass of water. A scan reports that he already took twelve pills which broke his system down completely" The doctor whispered in a hurry.
"Oh doc, what happens to him now? please doc, he cannot die, please" Jane cried bitterly. Her words were mixed with tears but she didnt mind, she was totally broken down by his situation.
"Unfortunately, I regret to say that he has a slim chance of survival, the pills already gone down his system and done terrible damages, we can't certify he'll make it, but we'll always wish for the best" The doc said in pessimism. You wait down here Miss Jane, I assure you that everything's gonna be fine"
"No doc, I'm going in there with you, I can't...
The doc cut in, " You know you can't, you only have to control your emotions, believe me, its gonna be fine" The doc said and left her waving his head.

A second felt like years to her, the room seemed to her uncomfortable, she hated this feeling, she hated this situation, she was crying uncontrollably, there was nobody there to comfort her, she knocked at the wall and kicked at the table, she screamed in pain,she shook her head and rolled on the floor kicking everything within her reach. She couldn't believe that all of a sudden he was going to die, why did he have to commit suicide? why the overdose medicine? Why wasn't she there to stop him? why?. So many whys formed in her mind but she couldn't answer any. She started regretting her life, her situation, everything about her, it was terrible, she felt so unlucky and that wasn't life for her. She felt damned.

The theatre door knob turned and the door went open, she saw the doctor scramble out of the room with sadness written all over his face, he looked tired and wasted. She could almost read the news but she never wanted to believe it. She opened her eyes wide and threw an inquisitive look at the doc who lowered his head in pessimism.

"I'm sorry Miss Jane, he didn't make it, he's gone" The doc said slowly.
"What.......... oh no! Jay! Jay! Jay why? why did you... Jay.... Jay please, Jay... Jay I love you please, Jay, you don't have to leave me Jay, I really do love you Jay, please come back...." She screamed rolling on the floor.......


FEW HOURS LATER...

"Hello Sam, please you have to cancel the wedding, I'm no more interested" She clicked on the send button and dropped her head low, mourning.

Yeah, I am a victim too, so I can relate to most of the things posted here. It would have been great if the story was longer because there is much depth to the introverted character.
