Cut to Shaggy & Demona-
Me and Shaggy
goes back a long way.We have known each other since our play school days.Though we were not the best of the buddies but we always enjoyed each others company.During the summer vacations we used to hang out at little store room of my terrace.It had a huge black door of tin and was all covered with our funny writings.The only sentence that was clearly readable among many was Potli baba ki.....sure that little room was full of our stories of mischief,the walls still bounce back those uncontrollable laughter,the floor has still the markings of tiny hot-wheel cars,our so called big future plans still breathing around the corners though they are all covered with webs now.That whole period was miraculous. We ate,we played,we goofed around,we turned things upside down still nobody had bitter feelings for us.

Then came the
adolescence and along came Demona.Shaggy's first and still going strong girlfriend.She joined us in class 10th and as she entered in to the classroom,God knows from where wind started blowing,sweetly touching her hairs and making them fall on her milky face.She walked in slow motion and every guy stared at her as if she is the only bone among so many hungry dogs including our maths sir.Shaggy too was totally mesmerized by her beauty.His eyes forgot to blink and his mouth was wide open.Even I fully admit that no doubt Demona was drop dead gorgeous.Everything was so perfect about her.Maybe if Shaggy hadn't asked her first then she might have ended up with me but among the two of us,shaggy has always been much outspoken,much smarter so he became the king,she was his queen and i became the secret admirer.My night fantasies were all painted by her soft complexion,flowery skin & sweet fragrance.She made me realize the true power of hormones.
This was the story until i was unknown with the true intentions of that beautiful & deceptive face.Demona never wanted a lover or a boy friend but she was in desperate need of a guy who can actually be her puppy dog to whom she can train and regulate according to her own terms.Shaggy served it right for her as he was madly in love and never cared about his own esteem.She did her tricks by provoking more & more of his sexual desires.I experienced a large amount of change in Shaggy's behaviour.He was all about 'Demona this & Demona that' which made me furious.I even tried to connect him with the real signals from the Demona's satellite but the guy was deaf & dumb.He didn't want to hear any word against her sex goddess and also blamed me for being jealous.Maybe i was but not of shaggy coz he was getting all the bedtime favours but i was jealous of Demona coz she was taking away my good old friend.The time when we were suppose to play cricket was replaced by Shaggy carrying huge shopping bags of Demona.She also worked her wonders by cutting down his friends and making him believe that they all are piece of crap and will hinder his personal growth.He was a great guy but she made a looser out of him.
Gradually we drifted apart and blooming flowers of our friendship dried out soon and all we shared were Hi's & Hellos.Just for the sake of formality maybe or just for the sake of our wonderful childhood spent together.Nothing more than that or else Shaggy won't be getting "those" nipples to suck that night.

Cut to Sunday Morning-
They were as usual hand in hand coming towards me.Demona whispered something in his ear and Shaggy nodded as usual.His own thinking mind was flushed away by Demona so now all he knows is what she knows.I kept on walking in there direction and they too were moving in mine.Just few moments later we were face to face and i stopped and said 'hey shaggy!!wassupp?
and there it was, something happened which was truly unexpected and unacceptable.I was left there standing alone with my hand still in handshake mode and there was no one on the other side.The couple had already went pass through me as if i was invisible...i was nothing for them.
Shaggy not even bothered to look at me,he preferred to look at flying pigeons instead.
I felt vulnerable.I felt like as someone has spitted on my face.Although my expectations regarding Shaggy as a friend were as close to as a buried body but still we always managed to greet each other with fake smiles.I looked back but there was no sign of remorse.They kept on walking from me and Demona rested her evil head on his foolish shoulder.
I pushed myself from there but that insult still wasn't able to sank in my bad memories.I wondered if this gonna be the longest day of my life.I looked at the blue sky,i looked for something lively which can actually put me back on the track and then next i looked at a man under the green tree.That man seems to be familiar.I thought if he is him.I moved towards the tree and saw him clearly.Yes it was him....It was Moby.
