A FRIEND REQUEST

CALL Part 6

                                SAMAYRA 

"I'm so freaking stupid!! Uhhhhhhhh what was I even thinking?"

"Very big mistake. Nope huge, huge mistake."

Jiya was seating there laughing at me like dude for real. I can't even blame her I have been ranting about same damn line I said for 30-40 min at least.

'Heyy listen bye I have lectures to attend. Call me when you are free. Here is my number' jiya started mimicking and I don't know to cry or laugh about it. I gave up and started laughing with her I couldn't resist. It's not a big of a deal anyway, he is my childhood friend and I gave him my number it doesn't mean anything. He probably won't even call. But, I low-key want him to call I want to talk with him it has been 12 years. I want to know about all his life and want to tell about mine. Like what he does and what he loves I want to know EVERYTHING, every minute detail of his life, but also I'm too nervous to talk.

"So I and harshal had a fight!" jiya said looking at me like I would start asking questions right away but I was too busy thinking it caught me off guard.

"Ohh!! You guys rarely fight." I said blandly.

"Are you paying even attention? I thought you would have questions for me ready to fire."

"Sorry I was thinking! Why did you guys fight though?"

"There is this thing bothering him and he is not ready to talk it out. He says he needs time. He will tell but not now."

"Maybe he also had no idea what's bothering him and he just want to figure that out first before telling you half-truth."

"Exactly what he said. Maybe I'm just overreacting. I should give him his time. Sometimes I forget we are part of each other's life not whole life." She says looking more relieved. More loosened up.

"You guys will figure it out. You always do."

"Man this guy is going to be my endgame or worst therapy sessions there is no in-between. Oh god I love him.!!!"

"Happy late realization."

"Thank you."

"Wanna grab some food? I'm hungry. Can't study with my stomach making sounds.

"Ohh sure!!! Never say no to food."

"What are you going to order?" I asked jiya.

"Usual order!"

"I guess I will get that to."

Our usual order was like a homely feeling for us. We always order it when we seek comfort and reassurance that everything is going to be fine and it's going to be okay.

While we were eating food my phone rang. Some unknown number is calling me. So I just asked jiya if she knows about that number. She had no idea. So I thought of ignoring it but then thought what if it's important so I picked the called.

"Hello! Ankit here is this Sam!"

Oh god its ankit. His voice sent chills down my spine. It was heavy, strong and dominant. His voice even though is strong there is certain tenderness and softness to it. I wonder if it's only while talking to me. Am I special? It doesn't sound like an old pre-teen ankit's voice I'm familiar with. But it still has this familiar-ness I can't point out.

"Heyy, hello........ Wasn't actually expecting you to call..." I said hiding my nervousness and steadying my voice as much I count. I hope he didn't sense it.

"I caught you of guard hhh!!! You sound not so little Sam now!" ankit said making me more self-conscious that ever. I somehow forgot how I sound. I hate that he has that effect on me.

"Neither do you! Whether you sleeping or something cause you sound sleepy. "I said instantly wishing I could take it back.

"NOPE! Maybe its other way around haven't slept in days."

"OHH! Shouldn't you be taking a power nap rather than calling me?"

"Calling you felt more necessary. How do you feel now? Still ill?" he said. He called me even though he needed sleep. He called me to talk with me. He called me because it felt more necessary. He called me to check on me.

"Better than I have ever felt in my entire life. I'm actually eating ice-cream now." I said in teasing tone.

"And here I was worrying about you." He said in slightly sarcastic way.

"Honored to know that... wait a minute jiya is saying something.

"Sam we have to go. Its urgent." Jiya said.

"Okay just a sec."

"Heyy listen I think I really have to go something happened. Talk to you later bye! And sorry to cut you off like that." I said feeling guilty.

"No its fine. Bye! Do call me when you get free!!"

"I will for sure."

Will try to upload next part soon :))
