Bride Set off ✔

chapter 18

I excused myself and let Jay and Shweta talk. I took shower, got myself out of this mess Pjs and wore new Pjs. I placed Aron’s jacket safely on chair, first thing to do tomorrow is to clean the jacket and return back. I wonder if he really got home or not, I am staring at my phone and no text from him.

I texted Piku.

HEY!!! I am so sorry about today. I didn’t mean any bad thing, it’s just that I don’t want to travel back India. There’s reason I can’t explain through phone. Please meet me soon and talk.

She replied instantly.

It’s okay. I am sorry too. I shouldn’t have walked out like that. I don’t want to travel anywhere without you. whatever your reasons are I would like to hear them out. I promise I won’t behave like this again. I had a hell of the day without you.

I replied back -

I missed you too.

I feel so bad. I should’ve told her sooner but we all learn from mistake. There’s no text from Aron yet, why am I so desperate to hear from him?

I lay down thinking nothing. My brain is blank-peaceful.

-------------------------------------------------------------

My phone kept buzzing, I dismissed alarm and went back to sleep. Phone kept buzzung again and again. I ignored the alarm but Jay barge in and picked my phone. I am not in a mood to fight with him now.

“Hello?” he said.

“Yes, this is Rashi’s phone. Who are you?”

“oh, hey buddy. She is sleeping. Call again or leave the message.”

“Cool. Bye.”

He walked out without even informing who called or what message someone left? I really thought it was alarm tone. No one calls me. I need to change my alarm ring and call ring.

I gave up my hope to have peaceful evening. I checked my phone, the call was from unsaved number. I went downstairs and ask Jay who called me this early morning.

“Aron called.” He said and my heart did a back flip. It’s too early to get this excited. I rushed back to my room, saved his number, and check the text box.

      1:10 am

Hey, here’s the security picture you asked for.

Oops! Sorry it’s late to text. I am sorry.

 

    1:20 am

How rude of me to not say ‘good night’

    2:00 am

I just realize that I may have been such a creep to text you this late. I am sorry. I didn’t mean to text you this late, I just realize this now that it’s too late.

 5:00 am

Hello! Good morning. I didn’t wait till morning to send you text to seem like night-texter-creep. I want to apologize for sending this many text. Also, thanks a lot for listening to me yesterday.

 8:00 am

I am worried that you have blocked me from texting or you’re ignoring me? Or you’re still sleeping? I prefer to think the last option. Please text me back.

9:10 am

Sorry to call all of sudden. You were sleeping, it was confirmed that I am safe.
