Love in micrometer

~ THE CONFUSION ~

Priya

I am shocked at the moment. I think I can not hear anything. Serves me right for my overthinking abilities, which miserably failed in this case. I did not expect that. I did not expect Avi’s just friend to be a man. A kind of tall, good-looking man. Not a girl but man. I stood shocked, staring at Avi, who was looking at Agasthya, well very affectionately. I kept my mouth open, unable to form sensible words. Firstly, it was Siddhi who came with a broken model, then Siddhi’s brother, who knocked me out with his intimidating horror, and now with Avi and the whole best friend thing. I officially named it the day of confusion.

I happened to see Siddhi’s brother trying to tighten his hands during the handshake, which lasted longer than it should. His eyes were fuming with protectiveness? But why? Have they met before? I am thoroughly confused. Agasthya very cleverly freed his hands and said “It is finally nice to meet you all, Avi constantly keeps talking about the friendship you share”, he smiled.
“That is very interesting because Avi has never once mentioned to us that he is friends with such a handsome man”, Siddhi smiled nervously and looked at Avi.

“Did I not tell you both you will be shocked? It worked. It’s finally my two worlds colliding”, Avi chirped in his usual mischievous tone, to which Agasthya caressed his hair. I could not help but smile. I felt happy that the love and friendship Avi shows to Agasthya is not one sided, but is reciprocated. Avi deserves all the love in this world.

“It is so good to finally meet you, Agasthya. We were curious as to who this mysterious friend was”, I said and shook his hand, to which he smiled. Wow, okay, that is some nice dimple attacks on me. I smiled wider now and turned to see that Siddhi’s brother was actually fuming. With his eyebrows furrowed, he looked at me in confusion, which confused me again. I ignored him and continued my conversation with Avi, Siddhi, and Agasthya. By then, a group of young children came to visit our model, to whom I started explaining, just the way I had done to Shivams... Siddhi’s brother.
