My legs are folded in a comfortable seated position on the bed, my laptop resting in front of me.
With my arms crossed over my chest, I glare intently at the sleek screen of my Apple laptop, while my best friend nervously smiles at me through the video call.
"Eeehhh—𝐤𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐨𝐡 𝐛𝐨𝐥? You've been glaring at me for the past five minutes now. What are you even thinking?"
[ say something?]
"You know what I'm thinking, to hop on the next India flight, Murder you first, and then head over to Sydney. How could you betray me like this?" I abruptly move very closer to screen.
Zara closes one eye and shifts back slightly.
"Okay, sorry, sorry! I couldn't inform bhai earlier because I knew he wouldn't agree, and I was sure you'd eventually convince him, after all, you're Mirha." She playfully waggles her eyebrows at me.
"Do you have any idea how challenging it was to convince your brute of an ice-cold brother?"
"Ah, c'mon, bhai isn't that bad, he's really a sweet—"
"Don't even think about finishing that, Antarctica is anything but sweetheart."
She bursts into laughter.
"You named bhai Antarctica? Oh my god." She continues to laugh, and I simply shrug.
I reach for my Pringles and start munching.
"Are you two really siblings? Or is he your stepbrother or adopted? because you both are so different." I ask with my mouth stuffed.
"Hey, he's my real brother, my sibling."
"Bhai might be cold and rude, but he warms up slowly, and when he does, he turns out to be the sweetest person you'll ever meet." She smiles softly.
"Oh yeah yeah! So sweet that I might have diabetes." I roll my eyes.
[ That rude guy just served me a dry salad for dinner, doesn't your brother know how to host guests?]
"And you know I don't waste food 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨 𝐠𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐩𝐡𝐮𝐬𝐬 𝐤𝐲𝐮𝐧 𝐧𝐚 𝐡𝐨 so I ate it all and your brother had the audacity to glare at me whole time, throwing frosty daggers as if saying through the eyes that 'how dare you make a face at my precious salad and then eat it all.' "
