Aditi: What's up? Call?

Me: Yes, yes!

The next second my phone started ringing and I didn't waste a second picking it up.

"What's up!?" I asked.

"You should be the one telling. You're going to Mysore without me. How many times do I have to request you to take me with you?" She started her complaint train.

"Oh hello. This time I wanted to go solo. Next time for sure."

"Yavagalu ide dialogue."

(Every time the same dialogue.)

"Shut up! If you want me to take you to Mysore, you better behave."

"What else should people like me do? Paapa I am!" She and her drama I tell you. "What all did you do? Met someone special?"

"Nothing like that!"

*Stop lying, didn't you meet Mr Gowda!* my subconscious reminded.

"But he doesn't classify as 'someone special'"

*Whatever! But you met someone. Whether he is special or not, we will let destiny and life decide it.*

"Oh hello! Where are you lost? This means you met someone!"

I tell you these best friends are scary! How did she decipher this from my silence? Scary indeed!

"Yes! But not like what you are thinking."

"Oh really! You tell how, when and where you met. And also how did he look?"

"I met him at Sapa, I was having my lunch..." I narrated the entire story to her. "... he was more than good-looking. He was a South Indian beauty. A handsome one, I tell you."

"Are you sure he isn't your special person?"

"No dude! To make you believe, I'll show you what I've saved his number as." I sent her a screenshot of the contact and a photo of him.

What!? I did my research and got his pictures from social media. He didn't have much on his profile but it was enough to gawk at.

"Mentalu kane neenu. Such a handsome man and you've saved his number as 'Anna'?"

(You are mad.)

"What's wrong with that? I have a handsome brother!" I said defending myself.

"Now, you have no right to talk about your boring a** love life. When God is giving you such nice opportunities, you are spoiling them yourself."

"Chee ya! He is like my elder brother. I can't even think about him like that."

"Hinge maadta iru! Yen helodu ivalige!?"
