Pratichi was about to go to bed around 12.30 when her phone rang. It was Sanjeet. She smiled before answering.
"Hello"
"Sorry I'm calling so late. So rahi thi?"
"Nai abtak nai. Abhi abhi Anaya aur Kavya ka call aya tha. Then Neerav ka.."
"Oh.. good. I thought I woke you."
"Aj ke din kon so pata hai?"
"I don't... Acha Jane do. Do you remember that shack we went with Sambhavita ma'am?"
"Han.."
"Kal subha 7 baje waha ajana."
"Itni jaldi?"
"Han.. college start hone se pehle milna padega."
"Um.. ok. That's it?"
"Oh.. sorry. Good night." The call cut.
"Isse to thik se birthday wish karna Tak nai ata. Pagal hai sach main." Pratichi said to herself when sleeping on the bed looking up.
The next day she got ready quickly and reached the shack. Sanjeet was standing looking at the horizon when she saw him. With a smile she was going towards him when Ayan joined him with a cup of coffee followed by Nikhil. Pratichi stopped and looked around. Everyone were there. Not just Sanjeet. Although she didn't want to but she felt a little disappointment.
"Pratichi's here." Kavya said skipping to her. And dragged her to sit between her and Anaya.
"Did Sanjeet called you too?" She asked Anaya.
"Nikhil. I made him stay up all night talking to me. Look at him, he can't even look me without blushing." She said pointing to him with her chin as she sent him a kissy face emoji. Nikhil as expected blushes furiously.
"Tum dono ko kal raat se call gaya tha?" Kavya said.
"Kyu?" Anaya asked.
"Aj subha 6 baje Ayan ka call aya. Bola 1/2 hai tere pas jab tak main tere ghar pohunchu tayar hoke niche khadi milna. Warna andar ake thanda Pani dal dunga tere upar." Kavya said in a sad voice. "Patahai kuch khaya vi nai aur apne earphones vi bhool ayi." Neerav set a coffee infront of her. "Thank you. Bless you Neerav."
Everyone laughed at her.
"Ayan.. bad manners." Sambhavita said.
"Main raat ko call karna bhool Gaya tha. Aur subha agar isko time deta abtak madam ready ho rahi hoti." Ayan said making Sanjeet nod enthusiastically. "Yah.. " Ayan said seeing him agree to him.
"Anyways.. I called you all here to show you this. "Sanjeet said took out the picture.
"This was one of my favourites. He didn't made much self portraits." Sambhavita said.
