The other side of the Glassdoor
The late July winds bought with them, a sense of peace and tranquility, she mused as a fresh bout of wind hit her face, filling her with aroma of roses. She closed her eyes to take in a deep breath, feeling the sweet scent burn her nostrils, as a small smile played across her beautiful face. Opening her eyes, she continued looking at the now tranquil waters of the swimming pool, crossing her hands across her chest, with a smile.
It was her birthday, and her mood is good, hence. Though she hated to wait otherwise, now, even this wait seemed enjoyable. Yet, that didn't mean she would leave the three chipmunks and the little cutie pie without a punishment. She smiled evilly, as she thought of the various types of torture. But she shook her head, laughing. Why was she putting up so much effort anyway? All she needed to do was give an update with a twist or better a cliffhanger, or go roundabout about her male lead's perceptions, and that's all she needed to do to get a third world war started. She threw her head back and laughed just thinking how much Maan Jaap would Nammu do, how many theories would Reva write, how many questions would Niti ask, and how many abuses would Shika hurl at him. Aren't these things enough to make her day? She gave a mental pat to herself as her spirits rose and she sat on the pool chair with her face in her palms, and stared at the aqua blue water, waiting for the chipmunks and the cutie girl to arrive to celebrate her birthday. But unknown to her the culprits were behind her, specifically, behind the glass partition and were biting their nails, waiting for the much anticipated person, the chalta firta gift they planned for their friend.

Niti looked at a pacing Reva, interestingly. She now got a hold of the cycle. Pace for some time, stop scratch your head, run to the glass partition, look at a waiting Sheesh, start pacing again.
"Where is he? Where is he?" Reva mumbled keeping her eyes down and starting her pacing session again, while she bumped into someone suddenly.
"Ouch! What the hell" yelled an irritated Shika, who was the scapegoat, into whom Reva bumped, while Reva, who was lost in her own world looked at Shika, who was expecting an apology, and instead of apologizing, blurted out "Where is he?"
Shika's face turned impassive for a moment but she suddenly seemed deep in thought and she started checking all her pockets and finally shrugged "Not in my pockets" and went away leaving a fuming Reva behind.
"I should hit myself for asking her" Reva thought as she resumed her pacing and scratching cycle.
Here, Nammu fidgeted with her kerchief as she looked through the glass, waiting for his arrival.
Every passing minute only increased her restlessness as they waited for the so called blind date they'd arranged for Sheesh. It was Sheesh's birthday and they're invited for treat at Oberoi's. This was when the sudden thought stuck them about the gift. While they initially thought about all the possible gifts and disagreed with each other, eliminating each and every mundane stuff, Nammu announced this idea of a blind date, and the girls agreed, and hence it was decided. Nammu told this about him and the plan was to meet Sheesh at 8pm. It was already 8:05 and hence all of them are biting their nails, waiting for him.
"Ayyayyo!! Why isn't this guy coming? I hate late-comers! I just wish this guy is like Maan babu..It would be awesome na!" she said facing the other three girls.
"Oho Nammu..why do you bring Maan everywhere and anywhere! BTW...How the hell did you get to know that your Maan babu is punctual!? Duh!" Shika replied bored.
"Shika ...please na..Why do you hate Maan Sir so much? Isn't he perfect?" Nammu said with a tinge of hurt.
"Oh no Nammu not again..I don't hate him but what's there to like him? ! He is such an idiot ,he doesn't even speak properly..He talks in riddles! Who the hell would do that..He is irritating! I just hope Sheesh doesn't get to spend time with someone like that in this beautiful evening! I really hope this guy is someone sensible and one who speaks properly! MCP is toh a big no no for me I tell you!"
Reva : I just hope he isn't creepy! I mean what if he is some kind of Vampire or a Devil? Sheesh would freak out! I don't want her to jhello a pale ,idiotic ,creepy Devil the whole evening!
"What?"
"Oh sorry...Movies these days I tell you! They really have a bad impact on me! I don't even know why do they even direct the pictures of vampires and dogs and cats and all! Huh! Waise movies se yaad aaya...Did you ppl watch this new ad where..."
Shika : Reva shut up! Will you please stop your non-sense !
Reva : What? Shiku ...Kamini tu toh chup hi reh...Waise I don't want this guy to be someone like the guy in those fairness ads! Just imagine...How shallow! Eeew! I have an idea...Let's show Sheesh to him in a dark light so that she seems black and then his asliyat would be out! Nice idea na!
Shika : It's stupid ...Just like you ! I'm glad that you didn't get an idea to show Sheesh as a Ganji ! You know..like testing the guy if he really likes Sheesh or her hair! Duh!
"Sheesh would prefer running away !"
Niti : I'm scared what if this guy turns to be evil?????????With a lots of secrets in his past????????I hope he knows how to play chess!!!! It's my fav game and Maan's too...Yayie!!!
Namratha : Ohoo...Why are you ppl spoiling this romantic mahaul?? Huh! Niti what's wrong with you..Stick to the essence of our untitled group na! I wish the guy wears a black shirt..wow red and black ...What a combination! Awesome na! I hope his eyes are like Maan Sir's eyes! Intense..I just hope he doesn't smile much...jst a li'l bit! Calm and composed ...Wow All this sounds super romantic!
Shika : Oh please Nammu...Don't start it again! Waise bhi I'm sure that guy is gonna be an idiot..Some stupid who would not even have the manners to talk! Waise bhi there are very few men who are worth some respect ! I'm sure about one thing...I'm gonna kill him if he even tries to touch Sheesh in the first meeting!
Reva : Shiku...Shut up will you! Waise bhi this date thing seems so stupid to me ! I mean why the hell on earth would people do all this and then get married? Aren't marriages boring and all! Aah..Actually they are irritating!
Niti : Oh Chup..chup look everyone..the guy is here!
Drums roll!!🤣
Shika : Oh My Gawd! This guy seems like an idiot ,look at the way he is walking?! No confidence at all!! What's with the colour that he is wearing? IS he here for a date or a fancy show! God! He stands nowhere in front of our Sheesh!
Nammu : Oh no! He isn't wearing black! Why isn't he is as tall as Maan Sir!
Niti : Why does he smile too much?Why didn't he bring his chessboard with him?
"Why is he so dark? I'm sure he is a Devil! Huh!"
Shika : Oh no...Did he touch Sheesh? ?How dare he?? Let me kick him right now! I told you guys na!
Nammu : Oh no Shika relax he is just helping her...I guess her saree is giving her a tough time! Man..This guy seems to be boring? Why is he speaking so much? Can't he speak in riddles like Maan Sir? It would have been awesome!
Naamu...wil lyou cut your Maan jaap!
Reva : Shiku ...Let her enjoy na..!!Waise Look again the way he is drinking the wine ! He looks like a tapori!! What if he has some hidden motives? What if...??
Nammu : Why isn't he like...
Shika : Wait...let me look at him once again
Niti : I hate my exams...
*****&&&&$$$$$4******$$$$$$$$
Thus the quartet fought, barked, yelled, pulled each other's hair missing away the one scene, which would have made their eyes pop out. At the other side of the glassdoor,, near the swimming pool, there stood the couple, oblivious of the drama that's taking place few meters away from them, and were totally involved in each other, getting along well, finding each other interesting and laughing away at some joke.
* * *
Happy Happy B'day Sheesh! Hope you find that unnamed Man today, who better be handsome, smart, sweet and most importantly a gentleman. Okay, ho gaya mera bak bak. We all love you, and your works. Thanks a lottt for bringing such unusual stuff to IF and making all of us pull our hairs.
This is a little gift from your Chipmunks. Hope you like it. 😆
PS: The credit for this work goes to Nammu.😆
