The soulmates 2

Look who's back!

Ram and Pha started singing '.....but I can't help falling in love with you....', looking into each other's eyes.

'Your sister sings so well, they are just so perfect together!', Keith whispered. 'Yeah, she's actually talented', Meh added, while Pran nodded in agreement, 'She definitely is! She sings better than me'.

Meh: However, I am going to sing better than all of you, isn't it Keith? I have even practiced a bit in the last two days.

Keith: Pran, please tell my wife that she can't sing that well. We all need to go home alive tonight.

Meh: I heard that. But I am going to prove you guys wrong.

Pran: P'Keith let's, not discourage her. She might have improved a bit.

Meh: Come on guys, I am not that bad.

Keith: Alright... Let's listen to Ram and Pha for now.

Meanwhile, someone knocked at the door. Keith was about to go and open the door, but Pran went instead. Someone in a black shirt was standing facing backwards. He had a bottle of wine in one of his hands and was talking on the phone.

Pran: Hey, Dude! C'mon in!

The guy turned around and said 'Yeah...'. It was Pat.

'Okay, I will call you later.', Pat hung up on the phone and looked at Pran who was in shock. Tears filled up his eyes, which he was trying so hard not to shed in front of Pat. 'Come in and close the door!', Pran said and went inside.

Keith: Who was it, Pran?

Pran didn't answer and he didn't have to since Pat just showed up. 'Everyone, look who's here! Pat, my brother. You are finally back!'.

Others started greeting Pat, while Meh was astounded. 'How on earth, Pat is here? Who invited him?', Meh asked Keith. 'Pran, did you?', she added.

Keith: It's actually me! I invited Pat.

Pat came up and hugged Meh, 'It's been so long, Meh. You have no idea how much I have missed you.'.

Meh: Shut up! Pat, don't talk to me, okay! I don't know you. And you, Keith! You knew about Pat all this while and still kept on lying to me. Excellent!

Keith: Babe listen to me! It's just..

Pat: Okay, can I say something?

Meh: No...

Pat: Meh, c'mon just hear me out once.... After I came back from Shanghai, our family was facing financial challenges, we had to shut down our business here and had to move to Bali. So, I was in Bali for the last two years, helping my Dad out in his business. Then I started up a new business of my own. Things just....

Meh: Everything is fine, but why didn't you inform me about this? You even disappeared from social media. Why?

Pat: Hmm! ......Meh, I am sorry for everything. I was not in the state of mind for talking to anyone after I came back. It was difficult for me...

Meh: But I am your best friend, Pat! You could just talk to me. Or maybe I am not! But, what the hell was so difficult? What happened between you and Pran? I am literally confused! Both of you.... enough of all these! I am just done with you all.

Pat: I think we should not talk about those things anymore. Now since I am back, let's have a fresh start.

Meh: Fine. I won't ask anyone. But You've hurt me, so I am not sure whether we can start fresh. Keith, do you have any explanation for what you have done?

Keith: I literally don't know what happened between them. Remember, I went to attend a conference in NY six months back? I just met Pat there. He requested me not to tell anybody about it, not even you and also that he will come back when it's the right time. It's just that. And I just mailed him last week, about the get-together. I didn't think that he would actually show up.

Meh: You waited for that right time? What the hell is wrong with you? How could you lie to your wife and that too about her best friend. Not done!

Keith. Well, technically you never asked me. So I didn't have to lie.

Meh: What? You knew about it and hid it from me. That's an equal crime.

Ram: Guys, come on now. Pat is back. That's enough right? Meh, take this Mike and start singing...

Meh: I don't want to sing your stupid karaoke anymore! Just imagine, someone here has become an entrepreneur. There is someone who is dating Sean Xu and look at me! What am I doing? Working for a stupid fashion magazine and pregnant with someone's child who has been lying to me since the last six months!

Keith: Wait, what? Are we expecting? Why didn't you tell me?

Meh: Yeah, I just found out two days back and I thought that I would surprise you today with the news. But you have managed to give me a shock.
Thank you.

Keith: Babe! I am sorry. I will not hide anything from you ever again. Now, please sit and relax. You should not take any stress.

Pat: Congratulations, Meh! P'Keith you too... But who is dating Sean Xu?

Meh realised the blunder that she just made out of the situation. But still couldn't help blurting out! She pointed at Pran and quavered 'Please, don't kill me, Pran!' and then tried to hide behind Keith.
