Spilled (Daily story prompt for Saturday)

Source

Ankur missed his ex girlfriend. Terribly. Kiran was brilliant, independent, talented, caring and the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

She had left him, however. He was never really there for her. There was only so much neglect and failure to reciprocate that a woman like her would put up with. She had discussed this issue with Ankur, and he had made promises to change. But he never did.

Now, Ankur had no Kiran and only regrets.

He would often distract himself with sports, go to bars and drink his woes away or just work out at the gym. Break-ups are great for fitness apparently.

One night at his favourite bar, Ankur spotted a woman who vaguely resembled Kiran. From certain angles anyway. The woman, Megha, seemed interested in him too. After some obligatory flirting, they ended up going to his place together.

Nothing happened, though. On this night, Ankur's tear glands were way more active than..... the other parts of him. He drunkenly cried in Megha's arms and spilled everything about his broken heart. About Kiran, how amazing she was, and the break up.

Fortunately for him, Megha was an angel. She listened to him, made him some coffee and even helped him to his bed before leaving. She genuinely felt bad for this good looking heart-broken man who had made a few mistakes.

In fact, she couldn't stop thinking about him and his heartbreak. This caused her to spill everything Ankur had told her to her best friend, Isha.

Isha's eyes lit up when she heard the name Kiran.

"Wait!", she said, "Kiran? And her ex is Ankur? He's about five feet ten inches, Hazel eyes, a dimpled smile....?"

"Oh my gosh! Yes!", Megha exclaimed, "how did you know?"

"I know this girl. She has pictures of him, and she misses him too!" Isha told her friend.

In that moment, Megha decided she was going to play cupid, and bring Ankur and Kiran together again.

Isha arranged a meeting between her friend and her coworker, and Magha told Kiran all about how Ankur missed her and was desperate to have her back. Kiran was ecstatic to hear this and when Megha offered to arranged for them to meet up at her place, she agreed.

Megha had obtained Ankur's phone number and was able to convince him to come to her apartment. Ankur thought this was a bit strange but went to her place anyway. She had been so kind to him, what harm could going to see her do?

Ankur walked into Megha's home and saw her and Isha waiting for him.

"Ankur, this is my friend Isha, and guess what? She works with Kiran! We told her how much you miss her and turn out, she misses you too!"

Before Ankur could react, Kiran walked out of the bedroom and ran to him. She put her arms around Ankur and told him she had no idea he felt that way. And that she wanted to be with him too.

Ankur stood there in utter shock.

He supposed he had no one but himself to blame. If he had known this would happen, he would have mentioned to Megha that he had not one, but two ex girlfriends named Kiran.

As if fate took pity on him, Kiran's phone rang and she left the room to take the call.

Ankur turned to Megha, and to her horror, said "that's the wrong Kiran!".
