Bride Set off ✔

chapter 4

I received Rajan's text but I was too sleepy to respond. I switched off phone and went to sleep. I was having good dream, I want to get in that dream. I was back with Shweta, Jay and Rajan. We were living all together. I completed college and I am working at research center. Jay is happy with his life. Shweta is happy to spend weekends with us and week days with her in-laws. Rajan is going out on date with someone and we all are teasing him.

I was awake from my happy life dream when someone knock my door thrice aloud and keep buzzing door bell. I had no choice to wake up and answer door.

Dear happy life dream I'll see you soon. I murmured to myself and got out of bed.

"Rashi, are you okay? What were you doing? Why is your phone not working?"

Ms. Henna Mathur hopped inside with tons of questions as soon as I opened the door.

"I'm fine Ms. Heena. I was sleeping while I switched off phone. I'm alright."

She sighed as I lay down on couch.

"Mr. Rajan called me and I was worried about you. He told me to immediately check up on you." She said calling Rajan.

"I'm fine Ms. Henna. Just overslept till noon. It's not a big deal, you don't have to rush here worrying."

"Yes Mr. Rajan she's fine. She was sleeping. Do you want to talk to her now? I'm here only." She started talking on phone futher and I switched on my phone.

Damn phone who would have known you being off for few hours would have caused this much trouble.

There were five calls from Piku, Seven calls and Three messages from Jay, Four messages from Rajan.

Ms. Henna hand me over her phone and I wanted to curse Rajan for sending her over here, ruining my beautiful dream.

'Hey'

"I'll reach India in another sixteen hours and I might not be reachable through cell phone. Please Let Ms. Henna check on you. I have informed her and be nice to her."

"Fine. Call me when you reach. Be safe and I'm sorry for not receiving calls or texts. I was asleep."

"it's alright. I gotta go now. Be safe and sane there."

"Bye!"

I hand over phone to her and she left saying she'll be back in another hour with food.

Texts from Jay.

I'm sorry for bursting out earlier.

Where are you??

Are you okay??

I couldn't reach any where to you????

Hello???

I called him and he didn't received so I left a text.

I'm fine. Call me when you're free.

Then I called Piku, she has some major explaining to do.

"Hey buddy!"

"Am I your buddy, Piku?? buddy lies to buddy??"

"I'm so sorry about last night. I wanted to make myself clear but I was afraid that you too might back up."

"Back up from what?? You said we're going to pool party but you took me to dark building basement where people dressed up weird and talk weird. I was bit uncomfortable yesterday."

"I'm sorry! Sharon invited both of us to pool party but later she called and told party was canceled. I called other friends to check up but party was happening, we both were canceled from party. I didn't want to bring all this details to you because I knew you were excited. So, I called friend and asked to get in that bookish party. I am sorry again. I should've informed earlier."

"It's not your fault. I should've known Sharon better. I'm sorry for bursting out on you. Next time, please inform me about situation. I was completely off gaurd last night."

"I saw your freaked out face. It was hilarious."

"It wasn't funny."

"Micah found you funny."

"Who?"

"The guy dressed up as character Micah."

"Of Course he would. I'll be prepared next time for the party. I'll be proper Bryce."

"You want to go again?"

"Yes! Sharon can have fun at pool parties canceling us but who said we should stop having fun. This bookish party will be our fun place."

"Oh My God!!!!!!!" She screamed. God help my ears.

"The next party is at City library. I will register us into it right now."

"Inform me details earlier."

"Of course I will!!!! I will call back you later."

"Okay, Bye!"

Oh my god save her happiness.
