Vic had been my roomie for more than 6yrs... the perfect roomie....
life had been just too good back then... the weekend booze... the frequent disco visits... the occasional marijuana smoke-ups...
over the years Vic had come to know me better than anyone else...
everything was perfect... except for one person... Gina... Vic's gurl...
a week before the fateful day, Vic and me were at our place making plans for a roadtrip to Mumbai...
a three-day drive...
everything had been perfectly planned out...
we were going to have the time of our lives...
just as we were done with the planning out, Vic's fone rang...
V: it's gina...
R: (irritated)
15mins later Vic comes in...
V: she's also coming along...
R: WHATTTT???!!!.... what tha heck is wrong with you???!!!!... you out of your mind???....
V: dude... c'mon man... what's tha big deal???... why d'ya hate her so much???...
R: it's not just her man... i hate all women... all they do is dig a hole in your pocket, and when the hole is big enough, they ditch you for another guy... just like mine did 5yrs back... women are nothing but bad luck...
V: dude... all gurls are not the same man... gina and me are meant to be together foreva....
R: wadeva man... i'm calling off tha whole friggin' thing... the two of you can go wherever tha hell you want...
we din't talk till next day evening... after the day at work, it hit me again that i really needed a change... screw it, i thought, let him bring her... so long as she doesn't bother me... i went home, confronted with Vic and the dream roadtrip was back on.... with that bitch coming along...
weekend arrived... early morning, Vic fished out one of the many Vodka bottles we were supposed to take along... 'We're not leaving till we're out of our senses!!!', he said with a beaming smile...
in an hour, we hit the road...
we went to Gina's place to pick her up...
at her place, we had to wait for ten whole minutes for her to get her ass out of her house and into the car...
and then... she appeared!!!..
'God!!!... she's hot...', i thought to myself...
but i still hated her... all women were meant to be hated....
i started hating women ever since my girlfriend of two years walked out on me for another jerk she found online...
'Hey RJ', Gina's voice brought me back to reality...
'Hi', i said with disinterest...
the drive did turn out to be fun... Gina wasn't that bad after all... we kept drinking and driving...
we had driven for more than a day by then... Vic and me were totally sloshed... and that is when i had to hand over the wheel to Gina... i hate it when anyone else other than me drives my car... and now, it was someone i hated a lot, behind the wheel.... 'Bah... life!!!....', i thought to myself...
it was an uphill drive... Victor was in the passenger seat, and i was slumped across the rear seat....
R: female! drive slowly... there're hairpin curves... dangerous...
V: don't worry man... Gina can drive with her eyes closed!!!...
CRASHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
after hearing a loud crash, all i remember was being rushed into a hospital by a team of paramedics... after coming to, i managed to gather some voice and asked about the other two...
'Sorry... those two weren't as lucky... they din't make it...'
a huge lump formed in my throat...
suddenly i realized i was alone in this world and the only person i knew was gone...
'I told you Vic!!!!... i told you not to bring her... THE BITCH KILLED YOU!!!!!....'
two months after Vic passed away, i had had enough of life in India...
i migrated to Perth....
i never went back to India again....
