32. Professionalism.

"Manasvi."
"Hm."
"Manasviiii."
"Shh."
"Manasvi!"
"Kyaaa?"

"Your damn phone is ringing. I'll throw it away if you don't pick it up."

Manasvi fluttered her eyes open, before squeezing it again because of the direct sunrays. She fumbled on the floor, searching for her phone.

She licked her lips, and snuggled back into him, eyes still closed. "Hello?"
"Ma'am, Ira. She's again being dramatic. I'll kill her I swear."

She brought the screen in front of her face to look at the contact. Parth-XI. "What's happening?" She mumbled.

"Arre, today is literally the Annual meeting, other schools are about to arrive, and she's not doing any work! LGF pada hai abhi wesse hi, no decorations nothing, and she's like, 'I won't do anything.'"

"Give her the phone."
The voice changed to a girly, polite one. "Hello."
"Hm, what's happening, Ira? What is he complaining about?"

"Ma'am I told him to write in bold capital letters a really nice quote I have, and he's like, 'no.' I'm literally tired of telling him everything but he's so, ugh, irritating. I told you not to give this responsibility to us. God."

"Kuch nahi hota tum logo se. Coming, I'm coming."

She turned off the phone and kept it aside, feeling too lazy to get up. The company she was getting was too much heavenly to sacrifice. She realized that they both have slept on the same place they sat at.

"Going where?" She heard him ask.
"School."
"It's Saturday."
"There's a function."
"What kind of behavior is that?"

She checked the time. Seven. "It's important, Bhavuk. I completely forgot."

Her WhatsApp had messages from five in the morning.

No matter how many times she adjusted the pleats of her saree, it always got somewhere fucking tangled. No matter how many times she brushed hair, it was still a jumbled mess. Getting ready was fucking uncomfortable. It had to have a prize equivalent to that of noble prize.

And making rotis wearing a saree? Noble prize confirmed.

The morning felt fresh in the beginning. It might've not been so had she not been falling asleep straight in Bhavuk's arms. God, his fucking embrace. Jannat. It fixed the bugs inside her.
