Dheere Dheere Se

Bored Without You

Rishabh's POV :

I would have never imagined getting jealous of the same person I wanted to make Paridhi feel jealous about. Okay, initially it wasn't the plan, but when I saw Paridhi's jealous face I just wanted to play along. Just some sweet innocent jealousy but It's not even a whole day since Vandana's here and Paridhi is behaving like they are childhood buddies. And now I feel like left alone. Also because they decided to go for shopping along with Vedika and Maa, because Vandana is leaving tomorrow. And no, not in the mall, because "waha feel nahi aata" their words not mine. They want to bargain and shop. God, women are really difficult to understand at times. Well, I'm totally excluded from their plan and I had to give away my dear wife and my sweet car for tonight. Now that dad is not home, it's just me alone in the house.

Past 2 hours, these ladies have been busy with their fun shopping and every other 10 mins I'm getting a notification from Pari.
'Rishabh this or this?'
'Rishabh konsa colour aacha hai?'
'Rishabh which one do you like the most?'
'Rishabh inmese mere liye konsa lu aur Vedika, Vandana ke liye konsa rakhu?'

'Isse aacha mushe hi le jate' annoyed I wrote, but didn't send offcourse.

Finally! Damn it's 9pm and finally Paridhi called.
"Hello, Pari when are y'all gonna come back yaar?"
"Pari nahi Bhaiya, apki pyaari Vedu bol rahi hu"
Dammit.
"Tu kyu Paridhi ke phone se baat kar rahi hai?"
"Woh kya hai na Bhaiya apki Pari ko apse yeh kehne me dikkat ho rahi thi, toh mene kaha me hi keh deti hu" what did Paridhi wanted to say but couldn't? I love you? But why would Vedika convey that?
"Woh kya hai na, humne yaha gol gappe, gola aur bahut sari chize kha Li hai , toh hum kuch khaa nahi payenge issliye aap aaj swiggy ya Zomato karlo aur ha mummy ne kaha hai bartan nikaloge woh achese dho ke rakhna"

.....I was .... speechless? Disappointed? Angry? Sad? Upset? Ya upset it is I guess.
Uh, well not that I never ate alone, but past few months that's not the case so it just feels weird.

"Paridhi ko phone dena jara" I said ignoring the rest the part

"Hello~" her soft sweet voice just takes over me everytime

"Tumhe pakka bhuk nahi hai na?" I know how much of a foodie Paridhi is, I doubt she barely had anything properly.

"Uh, haan"
"Okay, when are y'all coming back then?"
"Mostly by 10-10:30"
With her brief responses I knew everyone was around so I didn't ask anything further.
"Okay, enjoy yourself" saying I hung up.
