Not the perfect Valentines for Suresh Raina!
It was 14th February, Valentine’s Day when the Indian batsman Suresh Raina had a huge tiff with his girlfriend. The reason behind the squabble was that, Raina forgot to wish the woman of his dreams on Valentines. Apparently the pressure and stress
of the upcoming ICC World Cup was way too much for the player to remember the love of his life.
Raina tried extremely hard to patch-up with his ticked-off girlfriend, but she was in no mood to forgive the guilty Raina. She had high expectations from the man of her dreams. Speaking to a friend, it was revealed that she had been expecting a bouquet of
flowers, a teddy bear, chocolates and a romantic candle-light dinner at Taj hotel but it wasn’t to be. Her chocolat-ey hero sent her a ‘Miss Me on Valentine’ card instead of a love letter. This added more fuel to the fire.
She blew up like a railway engine, tearing the card into a million little pieces, ravaging away everything in her path, burning a picture of herself and Raina as she collapsed on the couch with a distraught face.
Poor Raina called her up begging for forgiveness but she was quite the 'la belle dame sans mercy' as she hung up the phone after swearing at him. The crazy lover, Raina was badly struck by her behaviour, but despite her arrogance he tried to convince her
how he loved her more than Bhajji but she was not willing to accept any apology from her casanova.
Raina then resorted to some cheap tactics and asked Bhajji to intervene and convince his would-be Bhaabi (sister-in-law) to forgive him. Being the clever man that Bhajji is, Bhajji told would-be-Bhaabi, that if she forgives Raina he will turn into MS Dhoni
the captain of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750. That seemed to interest Raina's dazzling Diva, but not for long. She knew there was a catch to it and after careful thought concluded that if Raina turns into Dhoni then the new Raina would want to date a super model.
Bhajji proved to be quite a dissapointment and left Raina in his room to go back to Dhoni’s place for a sleep-over. They even invited Raina for an all-night party, so that he could divert his mind but Raina refused to come.
The desperate Raina could not find a way to come out of the shock and sadness, so he went to a pub, where he had seven tequila shots with three mugs of beer. He drank until he was totally wasted and later blacked out in his room.
It was nine in the morning when the ear-splitting clock was ringing but the annoying loud roar could not wake the shattered cricketer, who was in deep slumber. After the clock, now it was the cell phone which started buzzing with the tone “De Ghuma Key”,
which is the new ICC World Cup anthem. The phone rang repeatedly but the hang-over was way too much for the cricketer to even open an eye.
By then, it was 10:30 am and now it was the captain himself, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 who called Raina on his cell.
Groggy Raina picked up his phone, ‘Hello?’
‘Oye, Khotay kidhr hai tu? (Hey dumb-a*s where are you???), roared the angry captain.
‘O Bhai Kya hua...kyuu dimagh ki dahi ker raha subah subah??’ (Hey Brother what happened.. why are you eating my brain..??),
replied a drowsy Raina.
Chal Baqwaas band ker aur foran airport pohanch!!! World Cup match tera baap khele gaa??
(now shut up and reach the air port immediately...is your dad going to play the World Cup match??),
Dhoni screamed over the phone.
It was a panic attack for Raina, the entire hangover was gone, and his eyes were wide opened with terror and disbelief. He jumped out of his bed and hurriedly packed his bags and headed towards the Airport in a pair of shorts with a T-shirt and a bandana
on his head. Stinking of beer and vodka, Raina did not even bother to take a shower.
He finally found a cab, dived in and mumbled, ‘Airporttt’
He sat up, as the radio played “Aint no sunshine when she’s gone..” he looked out of the window and burst into tears. The perturbed taxi driver, looking at the state of Raina inquired what the matter was.
The distraught cricketer looked at him sighed and said, “Yar wese insaan ko pyar nahi kerna chahiye....no bachi no tension!!
(Buddy, one should not love anyone.... no girl no tension!!)
(this is a work of fiction)
