Flatmate Drama

Update : X has just returned from having a fantastic weekend, while I'm resting in the hall with a badly twisted foot (fml). X is talking to their partner loudly, desperately clearly trying to irritate me 🤡🤬 Abse is ghar ka naam bigg boss hai aur I will give updates regularly. bc ab toh single bhi feel ho raha hai aur gussa bhi aa rha hai

Update 6 : X is packing their bags! 💪

After the last update at around 12, X retired into their room and I was at peace for some time.

Cut to 1 pm, Z and I decide to cook lunch. To our surprise, X has taken away utensils that they had got for everyone's common use (chakla, belan, few plates). We still make do by borrowing from our househelp in the neighborhood. Had a good filling lunch, talked to parents, did some re bandaging and cold compress on my foot.

3 pm, X is back from exile. I'm in the hall, talking to some friends, updating them about my new job. X takes a seat in the dining hall and starts scrolling reels on loud volume, obviously. X is furiously scrolling reels, on not one, but two phones.. Iska koi toh pench zyada dheela hai ya tight hai, ye toh pakka hai. I don't give any reaction. I meditate amidst the chaos of reels. Life's testing me but it'll pass.

Half an hour passes, X is still scrolling reels with the same dedication. Bell rings, enter Landlord! Kaala chashma, jeans, kaali shirt, gold chain, full underworld baddie swag. Z also comes out into the hall. Landlord is on my side, Landlord asks X to leave immediately if X has any problem with me staying in the hall. X is fighting, saying things in a language I don't understand, kuch toh mulga mulgi chal raha tha.

I ask the landlord to make my agreement otherwise I will shift somewhere else and he will HAVE to give my deposit back, he tells me rent agreement is already under process and I will receive more details shortly (wow). X is fuminggg. Landlord is in no mood to hear X's bullshit. Landlord be like mah houze mah rulez yo. Baat ab X ke ego par aa gayi hai. X says they will leave because they don't like sharing the flat with me. I'm like neither do I bruh. Landlord reassures me of everything and goes. X slams the door of their room. Scene cut.

Cut to now, X is scrounging for carton boxes in the hall and packing bags!?!? I win! WE WIN MY FOLKS! ❤️

Update 5 : X is awake and ready to fight! Looks like X has a plan for disruption. The washing machine which is for common use is in the attached washroom of X's room because of appropriate drain arrangement over there. X has moved the washing machine to the kitchen (why not the other washroom I wonder). I am absolutely not taking further pange with X, I want to see the lengths X will go to to provoke me.

Z and I went out on a scooty ride and had breakfast, which indeed made my morning very nice. When we come back, we find that X has moved my bed to a corner and is doing yoga in the hall. Z swears they have never ever seen X take any conscious steps for health, let alone waking up before 3 pm on a Sunday. Chalo isi bahane, X ki lifestyle achhi ho jaegi.

I move my bed back to its designated place under the fan. X doesn't speak a word to me.

The landlord is supposed to pay a visit today, let's see what unfolds next. Stay tuned :P

Transferring money before signing a proper rental agreement wasn't probably the wisest choice

You should have a word with the landlord and ask them what the situation is and take a commitment in writing for starters

Update 7: You guys have collectively manifested more drama and it is happening!

After the last update, X spent a couple hours packing and simultaneously calling people to vent out their frustration. X then goes out (only temporarily).

Cut to 7 pm, Z and I try to make aloo paranthe without chakla and belan 🥲 Turned out decent for my first try. Shortly I leave to meet a friend for ice cream and tell them all about my struggles. The laughs and conversations that follow are truly priceless, grateful to have found good friends in such a short time, in a new city.

11pm, I come back to find that the main entry gate has been locked and I don't have the key🥲 Z comes to my rescue. Z warns me of the drama that has unfolded in my absence.

X has invited S in the flat 🫠 X and S are trying to resolve their issues, which escalates to mini fights every 20 minutes. S is accusing X of having affairs! I don't understand why X is deliberately giving me more content out of their personal life. Looks like S is going to stay the night... 🥲

Oh and btw, while I was gone, X completely emptied the newly bought toothpaste 🥴 I cannot arrive at any situation where I'd require so much toothpaste in one go.. Is there something like toothpaste poisoning?

Good night folks, have a peaceful sleep, mujhe toh chain ki neend nahi aaegi 🥲 Aur ab itne maze le hi rahe ho toh ek badhiya noise cancelling headphone crowdfund karne ke baare mein bhi sochna xD

Update 3: X is still filling job application forms.. and consulting S for filling out every single field.. Honestly doubt how X has an experience of more than 7 years with this brain and attitude.

Anyway I am going to sleep. in the hall. where i rightfully belong. X is of course not letting me turn off the hall lights. I'm being cooler and calmer than Dhoni atp. I just hope and pray to wake up alive.

But if I die, X is the culprit.

makkhan tried to keep this gender neutral but forgot that no male will think about the other one that "bhagwan kaun isse shadi karega" ...

Update 4: I'm alive! But my injured foot is visibly swollen and looks like I'll still be limping on Monday when I meet my first project team 😭 Technically the first day of the actual job 😭 Sucks to be away from home at such a time. Gotta deal w it.

X worked till late, so X will probably, hopefully wake up late. Y, Z are localites and have plans to go home this week. Y has already left early morning, Z will leave on Monday... That means X and I will be spending quality time together to bond as flatmates 🥰😭

I will enjoy my few hours of peace while I can..

Update 5 nahi aya. Bechaini si ho rahi hai

Update 8: Ganpati bappa morya!

After the last update, the next morning I didn't cross paths with X and S. Sadly, no drama to report.

Went to office, met the team, they're all chill people, work seems similar to my interests and skillset, still have a lot to learn. A great day overall, my foot is also more than fine now.

Came back to an empty flat, no sign of X, S or Z. Shortly, Z comes back from office with good news and chakla + belan :D. Z tells me that after I left for office, X and S left for a trek in Lonavala 😍🤩🤑 I think this is the happy ending we all needed after all!

Now it's Ganesh Chaturthi holiday today, and the only plan is to be lazy and make this my home away from home finally! 🏡
