My Perfect Start!

Chapter 2

I returned home, I was feeling that my head was constantly being bludgeoned. It was around 2 in the afternoon. I ate something, took one tablet, pressed my back against the bed, and dozed off. Around 6 in the evening I woke up and made a tea with crushed cardamom and adrak. I started to search for some biscuits but didn't find a single packet. I dropped the thought and started to sip the simmering tea. I picked my phone and opened my insta. There was a text from her half an hour ago.

'Are you on Snapchat?'

'Yes, I am.' I typed and smiled. I opened my Snapchat and sent her my snap code. I waited for a reply from her end. I finished my tea which gave relief to my throat and brain. A notification popped up on my Snapchat; 'Sneha02' added you as a friend. My heart skipped a beat, I quickly added her back. There was a reply on Insta;

'added'

'Yaa added you back!

I sent one snap of my window which was covered in plants. It took 5 minutes for her reply. There was a short snap video of her two parrots eating chili.

'Oh, you have parrots?' I typed.

'Ya, two of them.'

'What really?'

'Yep.'

'Damnn! how do you manage this.'

'Hahaa!'

'By the way sorry, we couldn't go to eat. Actually, I have a cold, so my head started to pain.' I typed.

'OH BOY! did you take to sleep?

'Ha Abhi just soke utha hoon.'

'Cool do have medics!'

A thought ran down my heart, why did she ask this.

'Anyway, let's talk tonight. you sleep early?'

'Haha, 2 baje tak neend nahi aati.'

'Cool, then we will talk. Chalo bye.'

'Ya byee!'

I was smiling, and my heart was racing. There was a little bit of Sunshine escaping through clouds. I poured the water in the water sprinkler and watered the plants. I wore my hoodie and left the house for a walk, as the sky was clear now. I plugged my earphones and blessed my ears with a really good playlist. I walked for a nice one hour and went back home. There were a few assignments that were yet to complete. I pasted a few materials and photos in the word document and I was done with the work, I submitted it on google classroom. Now I was free to talk with her, and have a good conversation with her. The night arrived, It was around 9:30 when my mum served me dinner. My eyes sparkled, there was my favorite hot egg curry and chapatis! My mum knew me well, the dinner enhanced my mood. My fingers again searched for her profile. I started to scroll down her posts.

It was around 11 PM when I sent her a snap; 'Hi'

It took 10 minutes for her reply 'Hey just had dinner, what about you?'

'Ya, I am done with my dinner.' I typed and pressed my back against the sofa. I switched on one warm yellow spotlight and the AC. Cool winds started to sweep all over the hall, It was 5 minutes, yet there was not a reply from her. I was busy looking at her Insta pictures when her text arrived.

'Hmm, what to talk about now?'

'Sneha, in which stream were you in 12th?'

'I was in Arts.'

'Oh Dang me too! I found Arts more interesting and appealing for me.'

'Ohh Nice! By the way how much percent did you get in your 12th Boards?'

'12th ka na, Ya wait I know, It was 65 percent.'

'What seriously!?'

'Ha, kyu kya Hua?'

'I had the same 65 percent too in 12th.'

'What... Oh wow

I started the conversation and it was going smooth. I was talking with her on Snapchat and on the other side I was looking at her profile on Insta. My heart was smiling. I thought that, this is the right time to ask about her life.

'Hey, so... Do you have any boyfriend?'

'Naah, I was in a... toxic relationship, I broke up with him 6 months back.'

'Oh Damn.'

'What about you?'

'Yeah I also had one, we also broke up like a year ago.'

'Ohh... then do you guys talk now? Are you friends'

'No, there is not any kind of bond between us now.' I lied about this.

'Oh...'

'So are you interested in dating anybody now?'

'Ya, I never got any genuine one. I want someone for the long term. I will tell you about my past and my story when we will meet some other time.'

'Yeah, it's completely ok.'

'We didn't talk much today...'

'Yaa it actually went awkward.'

'Very, Haha!'

'I know right!'

'Are you free tomorrow morning, like at 8?'

'I am not such a morning person, but why?'

'Let's meet na, come here at Belapur. We will go to Parsik hill.'

My heart was racing, the girl whom I started to talk like two days ago is asking me to meet again. Yeah, I think the conversation was needed because we didn't talk much when we met in college. I don't know where my heart was moving, and where my destiny will take me.

'Umm, Ya sure.'

'Uth Jaana subeh! Haha.'

'Ha ree let's sleep now. It's already 2 now.'

'Yeah, Goodnight'

'Goodnight.'
