Chapter 3
'As Saransh ends the call he offers me to have dinner. We make our way to the dinning area. On our way, I drag Avantika from the dance floor and ask others also to join us. She walks ahead of me and I get a chance to admire her looks and dress. She is definately looking stunning.
And as if Arnav has read my thoughts. He ushers from somewhere around and gives compliment to both Avantika and me. We thank him and offers him to join us over dinner. He obliges us.
The dinner arrangement is just so good. We enjoy the dinner and chat a lot over dinner, we laugh and cherish old memories. After having our dinner, we hug Arnav and congratulate him again and greets him with a bye.
It's already mid night when we return back. Changing our clothes we go to our bed and sleep.
~*~*~*~
It's 10 in the morning and it's Sunday. I wake up and find that Avantika is not there by my side. I get out of the bed and search for her and find her in the library searching for some book. Taking my seat on one of the chairs of library, I lay my head down on the table. Feeling drowsy and assuming that she is busy with some important work I don't greet her 'Good Morning' or rather 'Good afternoon' because it's just about to be twelve noon in some striking moments.
But to my surprise she greets me ''Good Morning baby!'' My heart melts and I give a warm smile, she has felt my presence just the moment I entered and didn't bother to clarify if she was correct or not because she is damn sure, she is because she knows me so well. I reply her with full gesture of love and warmth "Good Morning!" There is a smile on my face. "I have some important work. I have someone important to meet. Will you help yourself with tea after getting freshen up?" "Yeah that's absolutely fine. But where are you going and whom are you meeting to?" I inquire. Putting a smile on her face she replies "Well it's just someone ahmm.. We'll discuss this later if it's fine with you?" I don't ask her anything further, noticing the hint of hesitation on discussing the matter. "Sure. No problem. But promise me you would tell me if you are in any mess?" "Of course darling I will." saying this she gives me a tight hug. And feeling her necessity of giving me the hug, I could imagine that something is going on without my knowledge. But then I trust her. How can I not? I know she would be the last friend of mine to hurt me.
Getting back to her room she dresses herself in a black kurta with golden work on it. Her hair neatly tied up, wearing a watch on her left wrist and two pairs of golden bangles on her right wrist. She searches for her mobile on the sitting area, but I find it under the lampshade, being placed at the corner of the drawing room. I pick it up and tell her "it's here" and then she rushes towards me and snatches the phone from my hand as if I have found her red handed, committing a crime. Then she says "Well I am going to meet Arnav." she waits for few seconds figuring out my reaction, may be she wants to know if I am trusting her or not. Smiling I say "Okay" and she smiles back and leaves.
After taking a quick shower and changing into light clothes as I am in no mood to go anywhere out today, I just want to get lazy and stick to my bed. I open my net-book and start searching randomly on some latest news buzzing in the city and I keep randomly clicking on the news, one news page linking to another and soon I find a page dated '15th July' two years back. It reads that there occurred a major car accident in Kolkata. That car had two girls and a guy driving the car, returning from some get-together at around mid-night. They met with an accident and it seems that the guy and one of the girls survived but there is no clue of the other girl in the article. I try to search further but couldn't find anything related to it. I don't know why but I had a feeling of connectivity with this article even though I didn't understand why am I feeling so? After saving the article as I don't know why I felt it important to be saved. Switching off my net-book, I leave my bed.'
'I am at the kitchen, drinking water. Suddenly the door bell rings. I take my way to the main door and open it wide and find Avantika standing there. She looks serious, not one of her usual moods. Switching on the air-conditioner she sits on the sofa. I offer her a glass of water, she gulps the water, still in her serious mood. I ask her the reason of her being in such a mood. Keeping the glass on the side table and turning towards me and inclining her body towards me, as if demanding my full attention, made my heartbeats to accelerate.
"We are going to a farmhouse party which is two kilometer far from here. We are going there day after tomorrow. I need no argument on this, no reason for not attending this party." She says all this with extreme slowness. Emphasizing on each word as if each word she is saying has some hidden meaning behind it which needs my full attention and my full acknowledgement. As I have no option of denying I agree. Giving me a tight hug she says "I love you" as if she is meaning every single word with much more feeling she usually does.
I hear the ring of my phone, I head towards the bedroom, and find that it's Pooja calling "Hello" I greet her."Hey Adhishree I am just hanging out with Siya. I thought of inviting you both up here.Why don't you also come and join us?" "Thanks for the invitation but you guys enjoy, I am already tired by yesterday's exertion! We'll plan some other day" as soon as I end up with this line Avantika snatches the phone out of my hand "We are coming. Tell me where to meet? Okay bye we'll be there in a short while." After ending the call, Avantika turns towards me "We'll go. After all it's Pooja." Winking at me she smiles. Noticing the shift in her mood I relax and feel the urgency for this girls timeout, not because I need it but because she needs it.
I think about Pooja, feeling thankful that she called it could prove beneficial to kill every reason which is drifting Avantika and me apart, which is palpable. Well about Pooja, she is a fun loving person, it's nice to be around her. I enjoy her company. She lives in the third building, left to our home. After getting ready we take a bus to reach the mall where we were asked to meet. We find Siya waiting there for us."Hey Siya! It's good to see you" Avantika says followed by a quick hug. "I am also feeling very happy. I was so exhausted with my current job I needed time to freak out with friends so it's an amazing feeling being here, relaxing with you all." I interrupt their conversation "but guys where is the one who set this plan?" "May be she is still facing a dilemma about what to wear. Well we all are aware of how much time she takes to get ready!" Avantika replies and we all burst out into a laugh, thinking we three are not far behind her."I am glad you guys are getting a reason to set your cheeks into a pain on my account" having said this line Pooja joins us with a big smile on her face. "Hey guys sorry for keeping you wait." "Apology will be accepted only if you promise to give us a treat as your first punishment for committing such an offence of getting
late" I try to tease her, trying too hard to keep a straight face."As a first punishment. That means I have more?" Following her Avantika says "You can't even think."
"Enlighten me then dear Avantika.""May be I can ask you to praise my beauty the whole day long, may be I can make you jealous?""Fiend. Girl you are just one of those bitches whom I love the most." They laugh giving a high-five."Okay you can't drop the topic just like that, where is our treat?" Siya says."Fine guys lets order Chinese what say? Or you want a typical North - Indian?" inquires Pooja."Well are you referring to the food?" Avantika asks.We all look at each other in turn and burst out into a laugh. It feels good to enjoy such a great company. "Yes, I am referring to the food, girl!" and we all enjoy this short funny conversation.'
