Her Facebook Friend By Ifveen Chapter 37
Chapter 37
“Close your eyes and think with your heart. How many advantages you forgot just because of few disadvantages.” [Remo]
[Third Person’s POV]:
Jacqueline’s one eye filled with tears and the other leaked with salty lotion.
“I am fine Now. Thank you.”
Remo frown at her formal answer, he thought they were past that formal stage. His fingers pressing on the words rapidly as he sends her another text in few seconds.
Despite her puffy eyes, she smiles as another message pops up on the screen.
“Don’t you trust me, Jacqueline?”
“I do.”
“Then why don’t you want to share your pain with me? What could I even make use of it Hon? I just want to know. You know. And I heard that sharing the pain can reduce the effect it has on the mind. Don’t you think I deserve to know? Even a little bit about you?”
She takes the tissue from the table blowing her nose, looking more like a terrible honk, a goose. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“A New Student arrived in our school some days ago, he sat beside me on the school bus and asked me what my name was.” She types rhythmically as her salty potion seems to have stopped.
“Oh. I think you told me about the incident. But I don’t think asking for a name could be that bad?” Remo remembers their old conversation where she had informed him about it. But at that time he shrugged it off.
“Ah, I might have told you about it. But now the situation is out of control. You are right, it’s not a bad thing for most people. But for me it is. I usually prefer to stay to myself, and his face screamed trouble. So in haste, I ended up lying about my name.”
“Oh yeah, I remember what happened later?”
“He turned out to be my cla**mate, and he is kind of blackmailing me from that day onwards.”
“What kind of blackmailing?”
“He had kind of stopped me twice. He is continuously pestering me about it. But today things have escalated a lot.”
Reading her texts engulfed Remo in strange feelings.

‘Stopped? Did he manhandle her? Is she trying to downplay the whole situation? Or Am I thinking too much?’ Though he wanted to ask everything, he didn’t. She didn’t like when he called her possession. She stopped explaining when he said something so it was better to play safe.
“What happened today?”
“I kind of have fainted in the school today and I think he was the one to take me to the clinical department of the school. He kind of came back to check up on me. Well, he took me to the canteen for treating me to ice cream but I ended up throwing the ice cream on his shoes accidentally.”
He shakes his head a little dazed. A guy doing so many things for a girl even if it involves just giving her attention in the wrong way. It still meant the guy was probably interested in her or he was just lusting after her.
‘But Can I tell her that?’
The response from his brain was instantaneous.
‘Hell. No!’
‘Why am I feeling so frustrated over the fact that this girl is getting attention from a guy who seems like a bad boy.’
‘Do I like her?’
‘But we just started talking. How can I like her?’
‘What’s wrong with you? Remo Focus on what your friend is saying.’
His brain whispers and he found himself texting her at a speed he never did.
“What happened afterward?”
“He asked me to wipe his shoes clean.”
Immediately a frown etched his face and his fingers messed up his already dark-black messy hair.
“And? Did you?” He didn’t even want to complete the sentence. It felt awful. He was never a person who pitied others or felt others’ pain let alone a girl he never met.
‘Why are her words making me feel caged here. Why do I want to go to her? Why am I so affected? God! What is this Girl doing to me?’
He blinked, controlling his weird irritations.

“I did. But after that, I did something I never thought I would. I ended up rubbing the same tissue on his cheeks.”
Remo’s bare skin tingled in horror and he fell from the chair he was sitting on laughing like a maniac.
Sitting on the ground he texts back. “You did what?”
“I didn’t mean do that though. I swear. It just happened.”
“Gosh! For a moment I was pissed. I don’t get pissed easily though.” He stood up sitting on the chair again. And continued to type.
“I love what you did to him. That’s my baby girl”
Jacqueline was convinced before that what happened today was the nastiest insult. But now hearing praise from him made her feel like she lost nothing. Like a kick in the gut was worth it. Worth insulting the pig who had insulted her.
All the terrible feelings settle with her amazing story. “What you did to him is the best disrespect you could have bestowed him with. It’s like kicking him in the balls, but it is more than even that. It’s about kicking his ego. Gosh! I am so much liking it. What happened later?”
“Well, I am in trouble now. His one girl best friend ended up kicking me nicely while I ended up screaming in her f***ing face. Which further lead her to apologize to me and well he. He kind of has taken my words as a challenge and he said he is not going to leave me alone.”
“I am not afraid now. I know My Baby Girl can bite him if needed.”
Jacqueline blushes. She walks to her bed, her bare feet feeling the cold of the ground.
Remo mills around the bedroom still laughing. He was pleased with Jacqueline. The Girl can bite if needed and it just made her more attractive to him. He wonders what she would do if he ever did something funny to her.
‘God. Attractive. I should just stop thinking.’
“What are you laughing about?” 5-year-old Nina asks Remo wiggling her black brows. His attention drifts to his sister lounging on his sofa since morning. Because she wanted to play with him.
‘Gosh!
As if nervous by his eyes she smoothens her pigtails. His attention fell on The Gla** of milk that her mother had placed before an hour ago, but it remained untouched on the gla** table.
“Nothing.”

“Really? You seem to be texting someone Rem. Is she… your girl..friend?”
Remo takes a minute to digest what she said. And suddenly he doesn’t feel repulsing to the idea.
‘Jacqueline. My Girlfriend.’
“So you are talking to your girl…friend huh? Ah. Let me tell Mommy?”
“No Ninu. I was reading a funny joke.”
Her innocent black eyes frown and her lips formed a pout.
“Aw. But Raghav said you have a girl. Girlfriend.”
“He lied.”
“Oh. Otay.”
“Just finish your milk faster, if you want me to give you a ride.”
“I hate it, Rem. Can I throw it away?” Her innocent eyes turned puppyish as she held one of his legs.
“No. You have to drink it if you want to grow tall like me. Your brother.”
“Hmph. I don’t want to grow up if I did, you will never give me a ride on your back.”
A smile stretches his lips and he eventually nods at her.
“Fine don’t drink it, just go and sit there for ten minutes.”
She stomps her leg on the tiled floor to protest but his one glare thrown in her direction made her follow his command.
“I will drink this for you.” He adds looking at her cute face.
