The Same Night...
Naina freshened up in comfy clothes and tied her hair into a loose ponytail, the ends of her strands resting on either side of her cheeks. She opened the drawer and took out a box, staring at it with a slow smile. She walked toward her bed and crawled on the thin sheet to sit relaxedly on it. The pillow settled behind her as she pressed her back on the satiny fabric, fiddling with the box.
Soon her phone rang thunderously, and she knew who must be calling her. Heaving a deep sigh she slid up to answer the call but didn't realize it was a Video Chat.
What the hell! Naina slapped her forehead in sheer embarrassment as she watched her mini frame on the camera, looking like a joker in the baggy blue top. She saw Sameer's smiling face while walking on the street, probably amused at her cute expressions, and she said - "Yaar tum pehle bata nahi sakte the you want to VC me?"
"What's VC?" Sameer asked her confusingly.
"Video Call pagal," Naina spoke irately, rubbing her fingers on her forehead.
"Kyu? You are wearing proper clothes mujhe kuch aisa waisa dikh bhi nahi raha hai." He teased her while winking at her bashful eyes, and she palmed her face out of mortification.
"Chill, I was kidding," Sameer said in a gentle voice.
"Tum pahuch gaye pune?" Naina asked him with a solemn visage.
"Yes, I will reach the flat in a minute. Socha tumse tab tak baat kar loon." Sameer replied to her with a sweet smile, and she saw the background behind his tall frame. It was completely dark and no illumination could be seen in the vicinity.
"Ghar pe call kiya tumne?" She asked him softly.
"Hmm, pehle aai ko kiya, phir tai ko, aur uske baad tumhe. I know you would have scolded me agar unse pehle main tumhe inform karta that I have reached here safely." He explained to her with a knowing smile while raking his fingers through his fluffy black hair.
"You know me so much na," Naina said with a sly smile, zooming on the front camera so that he could see his personal maid.
"Of course, for you and mere liye family comes first." Sameer grinned, his teeth shining in the darkness.
"Yes, ab jaldi se jake fresh ho jao aur so jao. Kal subah phir office haina." She instructed him like a teacher, and he hummed, entering the society gate once the watchman confirmed with the owner that a guest has come to stay at his place.
"Yes Ma'am, but pehle main tumhari gift dekhuga uske baad souga," Sameer told her with an obstinate smile, and Naina knew he wouldn't listen to her suggestion to open her gift tomorrow.
"Fine, but pehle you'll get fresh." She told him strictly and he nodded yes.
"Alright, I'll call you back in some time, if you want to sleep toh so jao...kal tumhara college hoga na," Sameer spoke with a concerned look, and saw her smiling at him.
"I am not sleepy," Naina said.
"Pakka na?" He asked her unassuredly.
"Haan baba." She gave a wide smile.
"Ok, then stay awake for me, main 15/20 minute me call karuga tumhe. Bye! love you." Sameer hung up the call with a bright smile on his face at the prospect of talking to his girlfriend late at night, and Naina was relieved her boyfriend reached his destination safely.
She folded her hands for a sincere prayer and thought - "Bappa mere Sameer ko uski nayi job me bilkul pareshani na ho aisa kuch karna, usne bahut struggle kiya hai bachpan se, main nahi chahti abhi bhi woh wahi kare. Just make sure woh apni job se khush rahe aur apni sari dreams puri kar sake."
