I sat at the dining table, sipping my coffee and staring blankly at my phone. I have been checking it almost for 100th time this morning, in hope maybe she texted back. But so far, nothing. I was starting to think she had ignored me. Did I take it on my ego? Yes. Noone can ignore Pranav Malhotra. But she did!!
But why the hell she liked that picture from 1 year ago. I remember that picture was taken on my parents anniversary party. "What's going in her head?" I thought in my mind.
Just as I was deep in thought, my brother Aarav plopped down beside me, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. "Whose text are you waiting for?" he asked, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.
"No one's" I tried to brush it off.
"Come on, Pranav bhai, I've seen you checking your phone every five seconds," he teased. "Who is it? Is it a secret crush?"
"W.. what secret crush. Shut up, Aarav. It's just work stuff."
"Sure, sure. Work stuff. You don't have anything other than work. Should i find a girl for you bhai?" He said.
I choked on my food. "Aaram se" Maa came and gave me the glass of water. "Are you crazy. I don't need anyone." I said to Aarav "Sahi to keh raha hai Aarav. Ladki milegi tabhi to kal ko teri shadi hogi na" Maa spoke in support of him.
I pushed my chair back and stood up "I need some fresh air."
"No you need some fun in your love life" he said.
I didn't respond. I turned and walked away from the dining table, leaving Aarav's laughter behind.
I made my way to the balcony, taking a deep breath of the cool morning air. I leaned against the railing, "Secret crush that too her, Rubbish. She and me. Never."
I stood there for some minutes then the phone buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out, and saw Kartik name on the screen. I accepted the call and said, "Hello. How's going?"
"Hi bro!! Yeah, everything's good. How about you?" Kartik replied.
"I'm good, What's up? Why did you call?" I asked.
"Actually, I wanted to talk to you about something. Can you come over today?" Kartik said.
"Sure, I can come over. What's going on?" I asked being curious.
"I'll tell you when you get here. See you soon!" Kartik said, ending the call.
