Chapter 38

--Muskaan in the room –

 

Muskaan(to herself) – Riddima is going to kill me! It's 12:30. Half an hour late!

 

Muskaan scanned the room for Riddima. She was nowhere to be seen. Muskaan tip-toed into the bedroom.

 

There she saw Riddima sleeping peacefully on her bed. Muskaan smiled and was just about to take a step towards the bath-room when –

 

Riddima( her eyes still closed) – You are late.

 

Muskaan bit her tongue. A bug lecture was coming up.

 

Muskaan – Sorry.

 

Riddima – Why were you late?

Muskaan(thinking of an excuse) – Ummm…Err… Traffic Jam!

 

Riddima sits up on her bed.

 

Riddima – Don't lie to me Muskaan! Guilt is clearly shown on your face.

 

Muskaan(holding her ears) – Chorry!

 

Riddima smiles.

 

Riddima – Excused for today. But next time –

 

Muskaan - --Next time you can kick me if I am late.

 

Riddima chuckles.

 

Riddima – So what did you do?

 

Muskaan tells her everything.

 

Riddima – Wow! And that's all I can say..Wow!

Riddima looks at Muskaan seriously.

 

Riddima – Muskaan, I miss hanging around with you nowadays. You spend most of your time with Rahul and I spend most of my time with Armaan. And because of this we hardly spend anythime together nowadays, I miss you.

 

Muskaan – I miss you to Riddima. But we can do something about this. Tomorrow is a Sunday right?

 

Riddima – Yeah…

 

Muskaan – So how would you like hanging around with me? Its gonna be a Girls-only tomorrow !

Riddima giggled. That sounded good.

 

Riddima – Excellent!

 

 

Sorry abt no Muskaan-Rahul scenes in this part…. But I wanted to stress on Ridzi's and Muskaan's freindship here...
