29. A little respect!

Rajveer had his hands around the strings of his guitar, his eyes were closed with his head leaned against the headrest. He was playing a subtle, soft tone while his mind replayed the memories of the one person that has been occupying his mind recently. He had always watched a movie or a said book to get into the mood for singing. Oddly, he isn't needing anything now.
"Hi"
His phone vibrated in his breast pocket. A soft smile grazed his lips. He kept his guitar beside him on the bed.
"Hello ☺️"
Riddhima had planned a trip with Sejal to travel through Delhi tomorrow. She had her off and Sejal was getting extremely bored. She even booked tickets for night view of Taj Mahal.
It was strange that lately, she feels irritated on Sundays. Surely she enjoys her work but everybody needs a break. But this break seems dull to her. She does not get to have hope to see a young, beautiful man waiting for her in front of her building, driving her through same, familiar roads, yet bringing in different ways to make her cherish life, to build in positivity, unknowingly exploring the tower she had locked herself in and tumbling it down brick by brick.

She believed that everybody's lives except hers was easier but the world outside VR mansion gave her a reality check. A positive one at that.

"Are you free tomorrow?"
"Hmm...🤔 depends on the occasion."
"We can go for an outing tomorrow, if you like."

"Are you asking me for a date?🥳"
"........"
Riddhima sighed. This mannn
"No."
"Come on, you could have given some non-robotic answer, you destroyed my heart 💔"
Riddhima chuckled. He turns into a different person online.
"Lol😁
I am going for a tour in Delhi with Sejal tomorrow. You can also join us. We are also going for night view of Taj Mahal."
"......."
"I am bored of Taj Mahal.🥱 "
"........"
"I have never seen it, unlike you."
"........"
"I haven't seen it during night time, though.🙄"
"........"
"Are you coming? I will book tickets for you also."
........
"Only if we both will go alone.😉"
"......."
"......."
"......."
Is he flirting with me?
"Sejal is the one who suggested to go. She wants to go."
Took you long, Riddhima.
"Then, I think you both should enjoy yourselves. 🥲"
"I want you to come, unless you hate my company."
"......."
Rajveer narrowed his eyes at her text. When did she resorted to be dramatic?

"You can tell me your moods through emojis, you know..."
"No! Are you coming?"
"What will I do with girls?"
"You are not coming, then?"
"......"
Your sharp eyed sister observes my every slight movement near you. If anything it will be awkward. Rajveer typed his fingers on the phone again.

"I am really busy these days, Riddhima. I will most probably practice my new song tomorrow. I want to dedicate my day to it. 😐"
"😯😯 You should have told me earlier."
"Enjoy then.👍"
"Do send me your video."
"I am little..... You will only see final song.😤"
A tender smile appeared on Riddhima's face as she typed.
"Shy😏?"
"Astargshsjshsak😠"
"Have you asked your dad about this?"
"Nope, I will directly release it.🤐"
"That's not fair."
"It is.... He will blame on my music if I did any mistake in buisness. Besides, they are going abroad back soon.🤠"
"There is an app that Sejal also uses for buisness classes. You can also try it."
"I don't want to do buisness. Once I get successful in music career. I will leave this.😌"
A frown etched on Riddhima's face at his reply. "You should not......" She cleared her text. Is she being too interfering?...almost as if ....as if.....
She huffed out air and typed again. They were always honest with each other and she would continue that.
