Tring...Tring...
"H...hel..helooo!!!". he answered my call excitedly, surprisingly and shockingly as I never used to call him after our so called 'break-up'. Yes we both broke up like 3 month and 10 days ago. Forget calling even I rarely used to pick up his call like sometimes in the blue moon.
Actually after the break up thing he asked lets just be friends but how it is possible I mean just to behave as if nothing was between us. And just to behave normal friends and pretend as if nothing has happened when we almost shared romantic dates though we never indulge in anything physically but still it was difficult for me to behave 'just friends'.
Coming back to the call, yes today I called him and the reason was I was in his home town Mumbai infact it was my second home too as I almost spent 3 years over here studying so now I too share a homely bond with this place. But after completion of my study I had to go back to my home but today I came here because I had work from my office over here. So i just called him cause of my routine habit of missing him after since the pathetic break-up' thing.
All those moments spent here in those 3 years came flashing infront of my eyes. It felt as if it was all just yesterday happened and today every equation is changed totally.
I was so lost in his voice that my own voice felt like it has been buried down long ago.
"R u okay nandu..????" he worriedly asked as I wasn't responding.
"Hi" I said finally sighing.
"Hi how are u.?? Ru fine.?? Ru okay..?? where were u these days?? Why were u not receiving my calls..??it seems u have FORGOT ME. I was so worried..??Is ur health ok tell me na ??? why aren't u speaking anything..??"he ended his ranting sensing my silence. I can exactly see how worried he was. Infact it feels he missed me more than i do. Hehehe thats good..
"Manik I am fine" I assured him.
"No u are not. If u were fine u wouldn't have called me" he seemed to be still in a shock. I chuckled on his statement as he was very true.
"Wait tell me what happened did someone said u anything tell me I wont let him be in a single piece" he was back in his overprotective bf mode. I was badly, highly missing this. It felt so good to hear him in this mode after such a long time.
"U know Mumbai is still the same people running here and there for their life being" I said somewhere lost on the roads which i saw standing on the 1st floor of the building where my travel agent office was located. Yes i was going back to my home at that time I got carried away with all love emotions and didn't know when I ended up calling him.
"Where are u..??"He uttered calmly after a profound silence of couple of minutes.
"Umm...woo..."I stammered as I could guess what was coming next and it was not good.
"So u r in Mumbai since when..??" he asked a bit angrily as I didn't told him that I am coming.
"Since evening"I blurted in the flow but then realized what a big mistake I did.Shit..
"So u r telling me now at 9:30 pm" he shouted angrily and his anger was justified but how could I call him to meet me when we don't share the same equation now.
"And I know right now u might be going back to ur home thats y at last moment u called me right..?? He again shouted and i was just wondering how he still knows me so well.
"How come u know???"I asked still knowing the reason.
"Chuck that are you with that jerk tell me." he shouted angrily. Oh so he is still jealous of me being with aryaman. Actually in collage we both were kind of good friend. He was a nice guy. He was my classmate. Manik was our senior. I and aryaman use to work together on assignments, projects etc. And my this closeness irked him everytime he saw us together.
It so happened once during our collage time i was going home and manik was kind a busy so he couldn't come to see me off and aryaman came to know about it and said he would come and i said ok but how could I forget that it was not at all ok with my monster around me. Manik completed his work asap and came to me and saw i was with aryaman he angrily left. It took me regular sorries, cards and a romantic date at the beach to manofy him.
"No" I said feeling happy that he is still possessive about me.😛
"BYE" He said angrily and before i could stop him he cut the call.
"Arrggghhh this man"I thought as I was now continuously calling him since 15 min and he was not receiving now. What a irony.
"NANDINI" A sudden voice came from my behind and I turn to look to the owner of the voice and OMG Shit I didn't expected THIS person to be here.🥱
