ANKIT

A WEEK LATER...

It's been a while since we talked. A week to be precise. We talked about NISHA di's wedding when we last talked to which she is not coming. To be honest I was low-key expecting her to come not that it would make a difference but still. It would have been a reunion kind of a thing for us. One can only hope. I guess we both have been busy with studies and everything to talk. There have been some moments where I was on the edge to message her but then for some reason I thought that would be creepy. Never mind I will message her after this! HOPEFULLY!!

"Ankit!!! ANKIIIIITTTTTTT!!!" arushi's voice pulled me out of my thoughts.

"Yes!" I said. Looking at her.

"Where are you lost?" she said with amused expressions.

"I'm not lost....... I was just, you know......... thinking"

"About?" she asked curiously.

"A message"

"A message???????"She was confused.
"Yeah! I didn't get any message from her. It's been a week"

"Ohh okay alright. It's about samayra ! Maybe she's been busy. You can also message her you know that right?"
"I know! I don't want her to think that I'm creep or something"

"Seriously a creep!! Why would she think that?"

"I DON'T KNOW"

"She won't chill... just message her ankit. It's not that big of a deal"
"yeah, yeah!! I will. Thanks!"
"You're welcome"

I will message her after I'm free. For now I have assignment to focus on. Academics really do drain your energy. I can't even complain that much to people they all say the same damn thing 'YOU ARE ATLEAST DOING SOMETHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO DO blah blah blah!!!' I'm tired of people expecting me to like everything about this degree because I want to have a career I will get after doing this degree. As much I like to code it exhausts me. Imagine having to find an error after coding for 5-6 hours. It can make a grown man cry.

9:30

'HEY?'

12:00

It's been 2:30 since I texted her. She hasn't replied. Is she ghosting me? I don't think she will ghost me. Maybe she is busy. I don't know. If she doesn't reply me till the morning I might delete my message. Maybe I will regret sending her message rather than waiting for her message.

NEXT DAY

9:00 am

I woke up after having really good sleep. I checked my phone first and caught myself searching for her reply. Shitt!!

"Hie... where have you been?" I should have been the one to ask that. She has been gone for a week I was here kind of waiting for her message. 'You are a hypocrite. I should have been one to ask that' I had the urge to send her that. I was taken a back because that might sound offensive.

"Busy with college project. What about you?"

"Ammm had viral infection for 4 days and then was preparing for exams. Just checked phone and saw your message. Then I convinced myself to take a break!!"

"I'm honored!! I thought of messaging you several times then thought I might disturb you so I didn't" i might sound creepy I didn't say that.

"Awww you missed me. Cute!" me!! Missing her!! She is probably on drugs or something.

"Hashanah in your dreams!!Maybe you should get a therapist"

"Was that supposed to be funny? Ha ha ha !!"

"FACTS"

"Ohh I see!!!"

"Sarcasm is a lowest form of humour"

"You are the one to tell me that. IORNY AT ITS BEST"

"HAHAHAHAAHHAHAH"

"How have you been?"

"Ammm busy. Today was the day I actually got a good sleep in a week."

"Don't drain your energy so much. learn to manage things."

"I already do that. But sometimes passion takes best of me."

"Relate MAXXXXXXXXXX. Especially when you are doing something challenging"

"Yesssssssssss. The rush, that feeling after succeeding in it. Nothing more peaceful that it."

"I know. Ohh yeahh I have some news!"

"Elaborate"
"there are 90% chances I will come to wedding." There was that smile. That genuine smile and excitement to see her, to meet her after 12 years. I was happy more than happy it actually made my morning good. Wedding is after a month. A month from now feels like eternity. I would be looking forward to it. More than I care to admit.

"Very good news! You made my day."

"That was the intention. Heyy listen bye I have lectures to attend. Call me when you are free."

"Okay I don't have your number!!"
"XXXXXXXXXX. at 10pm."

"Yupp!! BYE."

First she is coming for a wedding. And second she asked me to call even though I'm pretty sure i wont call her. 

What a start for a day it is!!
