My smart phone read "10:30 a.m. Saturday".
I booked a cab to go to Susmita's house because it is quite far from where our house is being built, last night I slept here, the construction workers would arrive soon so I left before they could come.
It took no more than 40 minutes to reach her house. I got off after paying the driver with my bag hung over my shoulder that had study materials in it.
I made my way towards the house and rang the door bell, soon after the door opened revealing her mother standing before me and welcoming me to come inside.
Hmm, that's weird, why isn't my Susmita here to welcome me in? Pushing aside my thoughts mentally I first greeted her as per the etiquette in Indian homes.
"Namaskar(greetings) aunty. How're you ? Is everyone doing well?", I greeted and asked with a polite smile. I'm so used to smiling like this all the time that my cheeks no longer hurt but I still find it tiring.
It hasn't been long since I last saw them so I do know that they're doing well but manners are manners so its better to ask despite the fact that it's totally unnecessary and that I truly find it bothersome. I'm only doing this because it'll be useful to me in the future if I maintained a good image in front of Susmita's family since their decisions and thoughts about me may affect my relationship with Susmita significantly.
"Oh dear, You are as well mannered as ever. We're all well. How about you? Is everyone well?", she asked me smiling as she accompanied me to Susmita's room.
"Yes they are.", I answered her back.
"Susmita is in her bedroom, she has been waiting for you since she woke up in the morning.", her mother said which caused me to smile naturally this time.
"That girl is so fond of you, always talking about you all the time. Anyways I don't think you two have to wait much longer, your other friend would also be arriving soon.", she said giving me the new information.
"Our other friend?", I asked confused. What other friend is she talking about? I didn't hear anything about this.
"Yeah, Susmita said she'd also be coming today for the group study, didn't she tell you?", I felt my heart drop in my chest hearing this. I planned on spending the day together with her how could she possibly call someone to impose on us without even consulting me first?
"No.", I answered, purposely making the confusion sound more eminent in my voice, all to sound polite and innocent.
"That's odd, then she must've forgotten to tell you.", her mother said casually.
"Yes she must've!" I feigned a small laughter like my usual friendly self whilst hiding my discontent.
"Susmita! Ananya's here!", her mother yelled pushing the door open.
I saw Susmita lying on the bed, her beautiful long black hair cascaded all over her back and the bed sheet. She was reading our school text book but as soon as she heard her mother her body jerked instantly and she turned back her head to look at us. A smile lit up her face on hearing her mother and when her eyes fell on me they glowed up, she's so sweet I couldn't help but give her a warm smile.
"You're here already! I thought Sonia was gonna be the one to come first.", she said in her usual chirpy and loud voice. Hmm, that explains why she didn't rush to come see me at the door like she usually does. She thought I was Sonia.
Seeing me still standing at the door she got up and rushed towards our side.
"Come on in!" she exclaimed and made me follow her to her bed where we both sat down just when the door bell rang grabbing everyone's attention.
