"So Nands. Wats your decision gonna be?"
Still lost in the thoughts of her morning mischief.. She was smiling to her colleague.
"What the fuck. Nandu.! Focus! " She tapped her forehead.
"Yeah obviously I m going re. It's my dream come true. And yeah can you cover for me next 2 hours. I have gotta fill out few applications and other formalities from office." She said.
Even though it was official that she was the only candidate been selected for the fellowship. She hadn't quite engrossed the magnitude of it. She nodded casually for every polite congratulations from.the faculty.
She reached the office and received her conglomerate certificates and she was all set for the applications.
She was supposedly to be ready with all formalities submitted in by 10 days.
By now fear and unknown started to hit her.
She knew it the necessary thing to be done. And she submitted the documents in the office.
Her checklist was yet to be completed.
1. Complete paperwork.
2. Confirm the work visa and passport details.
3. Get the caution deposit from the apartment.
4. Settle bills.
5. Goodbyes.
6. Deal with MANIK. may not literally the last thing on her priority but never the left her mind.
Ever since they both left his home..she didn't bump into him. She was thankful for that. She was able to accomplish things with zero emotions getting on the way and no distractions was because he was not there. And luckily he was also stuck in a surgery. Who knew crane accident would save her day for now.
She somehow scooted till afternoon.. Finished her lunch with her friends. It was finally fun after days. Her gang. She had missed the fun. Being a kid or student. Or being a friend for while. When she was with them. All she could think was being careless for a while and run away for the time being and the thought of going away party.
Her shift ended.
She knew it was lame to.wait around for him like a wife in there.
But she did for an hour or so.
After then she remembered her bike was not with her.
She hired a cab and left for her place.
She started packing her place.
She started to assort things to be sold and to be actually taken.
When she was knee-deep in her business she heard calling bell. It was quite odd.
She knew none of her friends would come in.
Her mind was throbbing could it have been him.
She leaped in outta the room and saw through the peephole. It was indeed him.
"What the heck Plum" there he stood all nervous and.worried for what she can understand.
"Come in, it's quiet a mess" She warned him.
"Are you packing! I thought you had 45 days until fellowship why you packing."
"Stop freaking out dude. Its not like I m staying here anyways. I was just trying to get rid of stuffs."
"Am I one among those?"
"Wait! What!"
"Seriously I can't address your insecurity issue every fucking day. I have had a pretty long day and I know you had too. So stop being a prick Manik!" She screamed at him.
"Do you want me to tattoo your name or something like that.?" She was pissed off.
"I was just trying to lighten you up.", "Sorry Plum, here is some dinner. I got from Le Tantoire. I'll leave you." He places the food on her table and about to leave.
"Stop. I was a. Jerk. And I am sorry. And you were not cool either. Now come here. Atleast eat what you brought."
Both sat in candle light and opened up the package of cooked up smoked chicken and Au gratin.
"You are a good orderer Manik''
" I know"
"Actually I came in here to ask something else Nandu."
"What's that"
"Well I was thinking. It's only gonna be few more days. Possibility of me coming after you is high but still as you said earlier I just like you stay at my place"
"Well even I was thinking of indirectly asking you that only.
Can I stay with you tonight"
She smiled and pulled his plate away. And made her way in his lap and kissed him.
"I missed your mouth."
" me too"
In just few seconds off went the shirt. And their madness began. Or more like it continued.
