Shades Of Purple

Chapter 56 : shady?

RAGHVANSH'S POV :
2 hours later [23rd September, same day]

"Raghvan and Kaushal Beta just ask for whatever you want, don't be shy. Okay???" Hriddan uncle says as politely as ever only for me to shake my head in a no for the millionth time this night.

But it encourages the big time extrovert and yapper Kaushal to go back to the dinning table and he starts chatting with both uncle and aunty again—to which I can't help but let out a laugh.

How is it so easy for him to make others like him to fast?? Like he instantly becomes friends with anyone and everyone. I mentally take a note to ask him later about what they were speaking about, you know I need to know about them—to impress them.

Which reminds me of someone else—the person that I hope is impressed by me right now.

Watching everybody engrossed in whatever conversation has been going on at the table, I silently grab my phone and move towards the room at the other next to the staircase.

I go up half way, leaning against rail of one of the stairs, now switching on my phone only to see multiple messages lined up—by you must have guessed who.

The grin on my face only makes it obvious.

Pihu : bonus + 2 points in the first raid itself, you really are crazy Ansh

Pihu : okayyy it's alright...do or die raids are always so hectic, one point isn't that much of a big deal. Don't be disappointed plss!!! You tried your best.

Pihu : first all out of the season for us yayyy, you know whenever we go all out in the first half we win the match? this means we're obviously clearing Bengaluru okay???

Pihu : did you just freaking super tackle Nakamura Hikari I CAN'T BELIEVE MY EYES ANSH

Pihu : first half done! the score isn't bad, k? Still have 20 minutes left

Pihu : damn I should've know Delhi Warriors is the only team that are capable of coming back into the game this way. You should see how flabbergasted everyone in hostel is right now

Pihu : You tackled kaushal singhania nooo. Ansh ya you did this knowing he's my favv, not more than you so I'll let it slide this once :/

Pihu : I KNEW WE WOULD WIN THIS OKAYY I TOLD YOU RIGHT? And I'm not going to let you off until you show me how you did that last raid move got it???

I cover my face with my hand giggle wholeheartedly.

Ugh. Can she seriously stop being so adorable? This is not healthy for me.

The next few text are of her saying congratulations over and over and how she was so nervous during the last five minutes. I read the next few messages—she informs me about seeing me on the screen along side Utkarsh, Aaraya and her parents. It doesn't take much to know that she's very joyous about it, but she spells it out yet again.

I don't take another minute and tap on the phone call button on the top of our chat window. I really do hope she's free right now.

She picks up instantly and I can sense her excitement at the sudden giggle from the other side.

"You're free, right?"

"Always for you, Captain Raghvansh Birla," she says in the sweetest voice possible—as if her words aren't enough to kill me. Is she flirting???
