Rab Rakha

Chapter 12

'U busy?'
Sidharth texted Shehnaaz when she didn't even drop by his chat box for once since morning. He wondered if she was so busy with the wedding arrangements.

'Yeah, actually subha mera aur Mickey ka lehenga stitch ho kar aaya.. itni bekar fitting Kari hai uss tailor ne ke aaj poora din isi kaam me nikal gaya..'
After what it had been an hour or two, she replied when she finally came home. She was actually too busy to even spare a glance to check her WhatsApp. Either she was on the call with Anju to grab the last minute things the lady wanted or with the mehendi artist for the function.

'Oh.. toh ab karwa li fitting?'
He replied.

'Ha karwa li.. uske baad hum kuch khane chale gaye the.. fir catering walo se baat karne gaye the uncle ke sath..'
She further informed him, she didn't know why she felt like telling him all that.

'Busy day ha?..'
He asked her.

'Very busy! But that doesn't mean that I didn't miss u! 😉😘'
She replied, not wanting him to feel neglected in any way possible.

'And.. I'll just assume u missed me too.. bolne se toh rahe aap..'
She added immediately.

'😂😂'
He laughed at that. Never really wanting to tell that he missed her.

'🙄'
She sent this emoticon to let him know that she was rolling her eyes at him.

'Anyways.. how was ur day?'
She asked, now that she was free. She wanted to talk to him.

'Fine, just one of those midday blues..'
He replied.

'Aww bestie.. is there anything I can do to make u feel better?'
She casually asked.

'Anything? 👀'
He asked promptly. Not really knowing if she'd get his point but her statement could get her some task to do. He wanted to mess with her.

'Ofc!'
She replied, even though she felt nervous about his question. Was she actually willing to do 'anything' to make him feel better? Hypothetically yes, practically no. Did she want to? Yes. Would she actually? Maybe. His 'anything' could include something stupid maybe something good or possibly something below the belt. She didn't know but she wanted to try.

'In that case..'
He thought about how it would go. It would either come out as a fun thing between them or offend her and she'd block him immediately.

'Aise suspense kyu bana raho?'
She asked when he left his sentence hanging.

'Patience baba! Tell me if there are people around u?'
He finally asked.

'Why do u ask?'
Her heart slammed against her chest, never in her wildest dream had she imagined him asking that. Maybe just in one of her wildest dreams but this was totally unexpected.

'Then I'll tell u what to do..'
He replied.

'Aisa kya kaam hai? Jo akele me karna padega?'
She asked. Wondering if he was serious about it. But was she? Would she send him the thing he'd ask for? She didn't know.

'Just tell me once ur alone..'
He repeated himself.

'Ok.. I'm alone now ..'
She took some time, got up from the living area and went to the washroom. Just in case. Even though she was really nervous, she wanted to give it a shot.

'Good.. sing me a song now..'
His awaited text arrived.

'What?!?'
She asked.

'Any song.. jo bhi tumhe pasand ho..'
He replied and she was so confused. His texts above weren't making any sense but then she realized that she had been pranked.
