                It’s over. We are over.

                Madhav and I, well, we never had anything as such. Whatever it
           was, it is over. He made me feel so cheap. All in Hindi. Crass Bihari

           Hindi. He’s sick. I should have known. What was I thinking?
                I actually hung out with him for a year. I let him kiss me.Yuck.

                My friends were right. He is an idiot gawaar. I must have had a
           phase of insanity. Why else would I have even talked to him?

                He was not fake, that’s why.
                But, all he wanted was to fuck me. Really, I know it sounds

           disgusting, but that is what he wanted. And imagine someone saying

           that to you in Hindi. Being told to fuck him or fuck off.
                Well, mister, I am fucking off, for good. How dare you talk to me
           like that? I feel like smashing his head on the basketball court.

                I told him I needed time. Lots of it. Well, he didn 't want to waste

           time. Because his main purpose was sex. So he could tell his friends
           he nailed this rich chick.

                Well, fuck off, says the rich chick.

                I said yes to Rohan. Yes, a month ago, when the proposal had
           come, I had called it the most bizarre idea ever. Rohan bhaiya and

           me? Had my mother lost her marbles? He was my rakhi brother, for

           God's sake. Not to mention I am just about turning nineteen and still
           in college.
                But today I said yes. Well, it has been an eventful month. First,
