DECEPTION
For an instance, things which we see aren't actually what we want to see. In short, whatever you see is an imagination or unreal, which is being portrayed as real.
Dhruv and Jhanvi savoured their lunch, engaged in a conversation that seemed straight out of a romantic comedy.
"They are sweet and awesome. Despite being 'adopted' I'm treated as a princess." Jhanvi described her parents, she glowed with positivity.
But when Jhanvi asked about Dhruv's family, his expressions faltered. His eyes lost their sparkle, and his smile seemed forced.
"My dad's a businessman, mom's a homemaker.... And occasionally my father's finance guru." He said, his voice has a sense of discomfort.
Jhanvi's curiosity was unhinged, "What about your siblings? Do you have any?"
Dhruv's response was positive and normal, or he framed it normal, "Yeah! Two of them. Brother and sister. We're all a year apart."
Her enthusiasm increased, "What's their names? I never had siblings and here you have TWO! I'm jealous at this point."
"Rohit and Riya! I must reveal you this, having siblings is cool and all, until they open their mouths." He said with a smile.
"Wait a second! Did you say 'Rohit'? That's our CEO's name right! What a coincidence......hahahaha" she laughed to the humorous encounter.
Dhruv laughed with her as he didn't have any other option, but his laughter was robotic, more like "Ha! Ha! Ha!"
Sounds like Santa!
"I'd love to meet them," she said, her smile unwavering.
"Me too...." He quickly added, "I mean, your parents!"
Just then, Dhruv's phone rang,
"Hey, just a minute!" he said answering the call.
"Hello!" Dhruv said.
"Hi Dhruv! I'm doctor Amit, I think you asked the nurse about your discharge, right?"
"Yes doc! Please, I want to discharge. I'm completely fine and healthy."
"Yeah! Yeah! I saw your reports. You are good to go!"
"OKAY!!" Dhruv shouted in excitement.
"Want to discharge in the evening or in an hour?"
"Second option!"
Doctor chuckled and accepted his answer.
"FINALLY!! Dobby is free!" Dhruv shouted in excitement, Jhanvi laughed on his enthusiasm.
"Hey, if you are fit and fine, maybe we ca- "
Jhanvi was about to say something but Dhruv got another call,
"Sorry about that, please complete your statement" Dhruv said ignoring the call.
"No! No! Please accept the call, I will wait!" Jhanvi said.
Dhruv picked his phone,
"Hey Asshole!" was the voice coming from the phone's speaker,
This guy mis pressed the speaker button on his phone. Jhanvi chuckled which triggered Dhruv to immediately take the action and cut the call.
Warning: Never ever lift your best friends call on speaker.
"Sorry about that" Dhruv said all embarrassed.
Jhanvi said laughing, "Don't be! I too have friends and they speak the same all the time."
Dhruv's phone rang for the second time,
This time he was conscious and received it normally,
"Hey Asshole! Never cut my call again, or I will shove a rod in your as- "
