Delve with me into a world of romantic short stories, to see how these peculiar but allied people , get through the ebb and flow of li...
"Utha lo phone nahi to sir phod dungi aapka !"("Pick up the phone or I'll bang your head") , a girl in her mid twenties was glaring at her phone screen ready to eat the person who was not picking up her calls even after 7 missed calls. Well Mr. Boyfriend, you don't do that to your girlfriend.
It was currently 4:30 pm on a Saturday evening and the 24 year old, Aakansha was trying to see if her boyfriend was finally free from the miniscule task which was supposed to be done in the morning at 7:09 am . Aakansha has listened to the morning call recording for umpteenth time to check whether her listening skills were still intact. "10 min ruko tum me call back karta hu." ("Wait , I'll call back in 10 mins.") were his exact words.
She was grumpy after working this full week and wanted to eat out , but now had an important task in hand - to find her "Missing boyfriend". No , she was not a control freak. But a 'mommy' type who got worried when he didn't text back. Yes , she was overprotective of him , her Ani aka Anirudh. A 25 year old , who was in his 3rd semester of MBA and ready to finish his degreee course soon and see his irresponsible nature , Aakansha wondered . She was ready to chew his brain out.
Just then , her phone blared with her custom ringtone "Mahiye Jinna Sohna" , put especially to tease Anirudh . "Mile kya?"("Did you find him?"), she hopefully asked their common friend , Jai. "Nahi shayad khogaya"("No , probably he is lost.") ,he said in a fake pitiful tone . "Insaan hai , meri clip thodi jo kho gaye. Bakwaas mat kar" ("He is a human , not my clip , to get lost. Don't talk nonsense") , she said in a slightly raised pitch.
"Acha , acha. Theek h. Cheekh mat. Mil gaya. Cafe me h , kaam kar raha hai. Meri call par baat huyi h abhi. "("Ok , ok. Don't shout. I have found him. I had a talk with him on phone , he is working in the cafe right now.") , Jai Said. Aakansha paused , he picked Jai's call , she thought. He was a goner now.
"Cafe kyu? Unhone to resign kar Diya tha na." ("Cafe? Hadn't he resigned") Aakansha voiced out her thoughts. Jai replied , "Mujhe kya pta. Mujhe kaam hai me thodi der me karta hu call." ("I don't know. I have a task in hand , I'll call you in a while.") He abruptly ended the call. 'Oh wow' , Aakansha thought looking at her phone.
After 30 minutes , Aakansha was dismounting her scooty , dressed in a pair of slightly ripped jeans , paired with a peach loose cotton shirt with small prints on it. In a hurry , she forgot to wear her sneakers and was sporting a pair of white flats , about which she was cursing her bf , as she never liked to step out in home worn footwears. She had even given her car for service. No makeup and hair tied in a ponytail, she still made some heads turn her way especially with her 5"7' stature.
