As soon as Naitya went off to his work , I went back to the kitchen and started thinking about Mansi . Yes Mansi. God I miss her. Despite being an atheist, I would go to God and request him to let you come back. Only if resurrection could happen in real life . But it cannot .
I could hear my phone ringing in my bedroom , I ran towards my bedroom because I knew who it was. It was my Mum calling me. Mum. I had decided to meet her today . We had planned a day together as Naitya was busy , so ,I asked my mum if she was free to hangout with me today . She said yes.
I reached the cafe , it was a new cafe , the one I have never been to, but Naitya has . He suggested me to go for it cause he said it will match my taste. I saw my mother coming towards me waving her hand and crossing the road. She hugged me . I hugged her back. And the First question that she asked me
"How's everything going?" Her eyes were looking deep into my soul , trying to extract every form of information my words will not say.
"Everything is fine." I nodded.
"And what about you and Naitya?"
I knew it . I knew this is exactly what she was trying to ask when she mentioned "everything" , I mean I don't blame her , I hardly tell anything about Naitya . I don't have time to discuss about him or I would rather say , I don't like to brag about him.
I looked at her and smiled , "Yes he's great but most of the time he's tired , his job I mean ."
She smiled as if she understood what I was trying to say.
I ordered coffee for mum and a slice of cheesecake for me. My mum has always been my best friend , it's not like I don't want to tell her , it's just that I have confined myself from telling every single detail about Naitya , because certainly Naitya doesn't feel real. It feels like a dream.
We talked for about an hour or so and then it was time for me to go back . I hugged my mum. And went off .
I reached home, went to the kitchen, made something to eat for Naitya because we had planned to have dinner together . While I was waiting for Naitya, I checked my phone and went to my 'photos'. It has been a long time since I checked my pictures of last 3 years.
And while scrolling through my pictures I saw one picture and got stuck at it. It was a picture of Naitya , Mansi and me . I don't remember this picture being taken because as far as I remember Naitya didn't know Mansi. Or maybe he did and I don't remember that part. We looked really happy together . I really wanted to ask Naitya questions related to this picture.
I heard the door bell .
"Ankita!!"
"Coming!!!" I put my phone on the table and ran towards the door. Opened it and saw Naitya standing , holding a hand bouquet of flowers.
I saw that . It was so sweet of him.
He was holding a note which was stuck on his head, reading.

"Only if flowers could make you happy , I would have become one ."

Yes. I like flowers. But only until they are plucked.
There was a huge smile on my face. I mean the small things a person does to make you happy. They are so heart warming. I hugged him.
Held the flowers from him and pulled away.
"Thank you Naitya." I looked at him. I was blushing .
"You can say thank you in many ways.....you know." He said while touching his lips.
Yes I wanted to kiss him . But I can't. I will not flow in the river and drown. Because we know once we kiss there no going back. It will become a habit. But I still want to kiss him .And I know that I will not.
