Rick's Ramblings: Break-up saga

I love sudden random party invites from a lost-in-love friends (FYI, ‘lost-in-love’ friends are the friends, who you hung out with a lot at some point and then they start dating and vanish off in la la love land and only resurface in the real world once the lover/boyfriend is out of town). Mostly, I don’t forgive those type of friends but this one I did forgive especially because the invite said “just wanted to let you know I love you more than my new nose” which is fabulous BTW you have to see. “You know I love you so you better arrive at my suite tonight, I’m at Land’s End, there’s enough champagne for us to fill up the tub and take a bath in and there’s dessert lots of it, pack your little gold Swarovski bathing suit (I know you have) and arrive my lovely we need to party ..muuaahhh”. Well you know you cannot say no to that invite so I arrived (clothes on). 

Me: How’s the oh-so-fabulous lover/ boyfriend (wink wink) the one you dumped us all for and vanished off into the pink sunset?

Friend: Oh baby, I’m sorry I vanished off and that f***ker, he is engaged baby.

Me: What? I thought you were in love and the word ‘madly’ was used at some point, if I may add. What happened — he met your mom and spoke about honeymoons and a destination wedding and what not!

Friend: Oh yeah, all that was happening, but it was all make belief to get laid, which was so unnecessary and stupid. I was anyway sleeping with him and he didn’t need to make up all that. Two weeks ago, he said he was going for a friend’s wedding in Delhi and I even took him to Sabya for his sherwani and what not and then I find out it was his own engagement... His mom had set it up three months back, he has met her and has been in touch with her constantly since and the f***er never mentioned anything. When I confronted him, he said he wasn’t sure about me and couldn’t figure out how to say it to me. He isn’t good with break-ups (yes, he said that) and also he was gonna move back to Delhi next month so this “me and him” wouldn’t work out anyway, can you imagine?

Me: I’m mortified. So was he just gonna leave one morning and not tell you anything and why was he meeting your family and talking marriage if he wasn’t sure? You never asked him to marry, that’s unreal. I’m so sorry my love, you okay?

Friend: Of course, I’m, guess what I did... I sent him a big bill for services rendered for the last one-and-a-half year and also sent him copies of pictures and screen shots of sexts between us in last three months, when he was supposedly with ‘her’.  

Me: What, now I’m mortified for him...ha ha ha. You blackmailed him?

Friend: Not at all, you treat me like an escort, you pay up for the services rendered, simple as that! It’s not blackmail, it’s payback. High time we girls stop letting fu**ers take us for granted, ‘fake-date’ us, say they love us, make us believe we are in a “relationship” decide on wedding destination and then secretly go get engaged to some sweet girl in Delhi mommy chose for him. Nah that ain’t happening, you screw us, we screw you back!

Me: You got a point there sistaa, so did he pay up? 

Friend: Of course, he did, who do you think paid for this party? Drink up, there’s a lot more where it came from hahahaha. 

GO GIRL POWER ... have to agree.
