Hues Of Dusk

Chapter 46. Serial dater

Mahek Rathi. Age, 18 yrs old. Height, 4'8". Complexion, fair. Waist length brown hair, partially highlighted maroon. Dark brown eyes and had a mole on her upper left lip.

Loved partying, dancing and visiting exquisite places. Broke up with her boyfriend of 1 year and now in a relationship with Shree Raheja for 4 months almost. Came from a modest family and had a younger sibling who was studying in 5th grade.

Father was a government official and mother worked part-time at a local cosmetics shop. The subject was enrolled in few hobby classes like music, zumba and cooking. Participated in some local beauty pageants and won most of them.

Known as a Heartbreaker among youngsters and popular for her beauty in her area. She was exactly misusing that attribute to catch her preys.

Before she dumped her recent ex-boyfriend, she was with a guy from another locality for 6 months while the one before him lasted for only 14 days. Going by her performance of jumping in and out of relationships, she deserved the title of a 'serial dater'.

According to my stats, till date, she had dated about 15 guys approximately. Few of which were kept a secret because she was dating some of them simultaneously. Her longest relationship, which was before Shree, ended quite abruptly.

She just texted the guy and broke up with him. And when she was approached directly by him to explain the situation, she threatened him that she would file a harrassment case against him if he bothered her again. The poor guy had no choice but to leave.

But he wasn't the only victim. She used the same tactic with her older flames and had hundred percent success so far. Moreover, all of her boyfriends came from wealthy families. They would shower her with expensive gifts and take her on extravagant dates to impress her.

She would play along as per her heart's content and when she got bored, she would dump them. In conclusion, she never had a serious relationship and her parents were oblivious to all of it.

What a girl you were, Mahek Rathi. I must compliment you for your achievements.

"What's that?" Surbhi asked and I closed my investigation diary. I waved off her question but she looked at me in suspicion.

I gave her a cupcake and she instantly got distracted. So gullible. But who was I to comment on that? I was the same too. Food was love.

We were sitting under the Banyan tree which was one of our favourite hanging out spots. It wasn't raining today so we were able to chill out and gossip as much as we wanted. Some lecturers would tell us to study by ourselves and not disturb them. Lucky us. They never noticed when we snucked out of the classroom and bunked.

Divya and Rashi were going through some chapters of Economics while Tanya resolved their doubts. Surbhi was done eating the cupcake and was now video chatting with Aryan. I just loved their pair. No matter how far they were, their love never faded.

"Damn, yaar (buddy). I don't know the answer to this question. Are you sure this chapter is in syllabus?" Tanya asked and scratched her head.

Divya and Rashi nodded and Tanya frowned. Oops. Looked like she forgot to study. I laughed at her and she faked punching me. I teased her that she was so lost in the thoughts of Ved that she forgot to study too.

She lunged on me and began hitting me. Everyone else also joined and it became WrestleMania. I didn't know who was hitting who? Divya had a whole different tactic. She was tickling whoever came in her way and it was a complete chaos.

Soon, we were all out of breath but I couldn't control my laughter. Everyone else was panting and drinking water. Surbhi threw a bottle at me and I caught it in mid-air.
