Baby you light up my world like nobody else,

The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,

But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,

You don't know,

Oh, oh,

You don't know you are beautiful,

If only you saw what I could see,

You would understand why-

Albeit I was pulled out from my dreamland by the song I would never get tired of hearing, I really, really did not appreciate it. Those people who wake you up in the morning are utterly and purely monsters. They don't have a heart. How can they wake up a person, especially in the morning, when they so are in their beauty sleep? I don't mean to say that my mum and my aunt are monsters, Even though they are the ones who wake me up, sometimes with a yell in the morning, but they aren't that cruel like Misha. Coz boy, you have something important the other day and you wanna wake up early, make a contract with Misha Bhatt. She gets happiness when she so heartlessly wakes other people up. For instance, she will sit on your thighs and will start pinching your belly or she'll straight away empty a glass of water without even giving it a second thought or she'll pull your ears or scream something so terribly in them that without any doubt, you will bolt up. But right now, all these thoughts are crap cuz it's not Misha that's waking me up. She's a devil. She won't choose my favourite song and make my day bright. (Albeit this song is in no ways making my day bright, right now, cuz I wanna hug my dear sleep). I extended my arm and cut the call I was receiving, not bothering to lift my droopy eyelids and read the caller id's name. I dug my face in my softy – softy pillow and again heard the boy band singing. Frustrated, I picked up my call.

"Holas", he singsang, oh so cheerily. Is this guy out of his mind? He's calling me, so early in the morning and is like 'holas', seriously?

"Are you nuts, Arjit? You're calling me at 5.45 in the morning! Is this really a time to call anyone? A normal human sleeps at this time!" I howled, disbelievingly.

"Shanti, devi, shanti" ( peace, my goddess, peace), he mollifyingly said, persuading me to keep cool.

"Fine. So Arjit boy, why are you calling me at 5.45 in the morning?" I dramatically asked, stressing on each and every word.

"Today, we're going to college together. So don't be a tardigrade and meet me down at my time, not yours", he said, his tone, as usual, a playful and a bright one.

"What's a tardigrade?"

"Goggle it out, my tardigrade", he smugly said and I could actually feel that lopsided grin which was gracing his face.

"Hell, with you", I said in a bit foul tone while chuckles escaped his mouth.

"So meet me down at time, tardigrade."

"By the way, why are we going together today? Any specific reason?"

"Yup, tardigrade. There is a specific reason. But you'll get to know, only when we meet"

"Don't you call me that meaningless-disgusting name. And Arjit", I said, with utmost sincerity "I really, really think you should have a mental checkup", the moment these words slipped out of my mouth, I was rewarded by a hearty laughter from Arjit.

"No,no. Don't laugh. I am seriously saying, you should have a mental checkup. Cuz you called me at this odd time, at 5.45 in the morning just to inform that we're going together in the college! Like, there are still, somewhere around 6 hours for the first lecture to begin!"
