Those Silly Days

Chapter 18

Everyone's reaction, I don't know, if I could say were obvious. Still according to their characters, yea, pretty obvious. Okay, let's start with my favorite I. E., Priya's reaction. She was pretty much shocked. Her eyes wide and her jaw hit the floor. I loved her reaction. I know she pretty much have hated the fact because after few seconds she stomped off. And, yea I loved it. Then comes Tanvi. She grinned widely at me, happy about the fact. Shreya, she's grinning goofily at me like when she knew about it. Then Sid, who slapped Manav's back, which I guess in proud manner. And, Aamir's reaction was the most weird and the best. He kept on munching his burger like he heard nothing. Myria punched him arm and snatched his burger away from his mouth which clamped together loudly. Laughter erupted at the table. I chuckled too. It's like one of those cartoons where the food is snatched away and the cartoon's teeth clash loudly and the other laughs. It was such a scene. He glared angrily at Myria.
"Did you even hear, you deaf eating machine.? "Myria demanded. He looked at Myria, blinked then looked over at Manav then me. Blinking again, He said a" congratulations" and went to his burger which Myria had placed back. Myria keeps giving him death glares and Aamir being oblivious, keeps on munching with his burger.

"Gah.... This or this? "Myria asks, holding two pair of clothing in her hand. That snaps me out of my reverie. It's been two days since whole ordeal at cafeteria and here I'm with two of my best friends racking through my closet choosing a perfect dress for perfect date. Oh, they have been ranting about it the whole time.
"Oh no no no... She's not wearing that! "Shreya tuts disapprovingly at one of the two dresses Myria finally chose after spending hours in my closet. It's actually cute though, the dress I mean. It's a peach dress with sweetheart neckline and netted material which would end up mid-thigh. The neckline is glittered out. But, the dress, it's just too extravagant for a dinner date. It's more like a party outfit. Manav asked me out on the other day. When I told Myria and Shreya about it, they squealed like little girls, dancing around room. Then they went from all happy and jumpy to panicky and crazy. They started freaking out about everything. Like literally... From what kind of date, what I'm wearing, what shoes, to what color should I paint my nails, accessories, to even how I should behave. Gosh, it was crazy. They lectured me like an hour on how should I behave on "My first date" with Manav, should I clarify. Anyway, so here we are, both of them making a mess of my room while I sit here, watching them do their crazy stuff.

Finally after what seemed like an long debate, Shreya wins over and picks my final dress. I have to say I like this one more than what Myria chose. It's a pretty lil dress, all royal blue, with a square neckline. The dress has zip in front and it would end just above my knees. Decent and just suits the mood. It's perfect, I murmur as I finger the soft material.
"Nope, that would be better. "Myria fights.
" Just tell that when she wears it. "Shreya answers smugly. Myria huffs while Shreya pushes me towards washroom.

It fits me so snugly. I like it. The feel of soft material against my curves.
" Gah.. I hate to admit but I lost it. Gee. .. Girl, you look so... "Myria trials off.
" I'm always right, babe. "Shreya smirks, winking. She likes being right in all matters.
" I look good. "I murmur, smoothing the dress.
" No, not good. You look great. "
" You look perfect. "
" You look adorable. "
" Guys, I got it. "I shut Shreya and Myria.
" Yea... "They both answer in unison.
" C'mon guys, we don't have time to waste. We still have long way to go. Hair, makeup and accessories. Get to work people. "Shreya starts panicking. She pushes me down on the chair as she starts rummaging through my dresser drawers. Finding the curling iron, she started working on my hair.
" Shreya, I can do this myself. Take a chill pill guys. "
" Nope, J. Not happening. I want everything to perfection. Your hair, dress, make-up. I'm not hearing anything. "
" But, Shreya... "
" Sorry, J. I too agree with Shreya. She's gonna do everything. We are not hearing any argument. "Myria nods to Shreya. I huff.
" Guys,... " I whine.
The next thing I know is my lips are sealed with an tape and if I try to peel it off my hands are swatted away. So, yea I'm pretty much forced into getting dressed as Shreya curls my hair. Myria hold a bottle of nail paint against the fabric of my dress before putting it back in the case.
"Why can't the shades match with your fucking dress? " She groans loudly.
" Then get that shade now. What are thinking, you lazy ass? Get me the shade. "Shreya demands rudely.
" Shreya... "I gasp," Don't behave like this. And, Myria any shade close to this will do, girl. It's such a insignificant thing. Why are you guys fussing over it? "I question them. And, the next thing I know my ears are bleeding. Well not literally but yeah I'm pretty sure I'm deaf since -
" No...... We need everything to perfection. " They shout in unison.
" You both are crazy. " I state. They shrug, not baffled my statement.
" We're just JiNav-fied . " Shreya states, smirking while I'm sure my cheeks tint pink.

Seriously, they are crazy. Soon, Myria makes an exit to find an perfect shade according to my perfect little dress.
It's like a scene out of books, where the best friends help you get dressed for "your special date". My situation is pretty similar, nope, it's same. The only difference here is that I know how to dress up unlike the protagonists of the book, who usually don't know that.
"Sherya, this's good? "Myria asks.
From the mirror, I notice her holding a pair of nude wedges.
" Perfecto! "Shreya approves.
" Good and this watch perfectly makes it way. Yeah? "Shreya makes a positive, still busy tending my hair.

I look at my reflection. I'm all dolled up and I have to say, they have done a great work. My hair are curled up and few strands have been pinned up carefully. I'm wearing a small necklace with an infinity charm attached to it. Manav had gifted this to me. It's one of the many gifts he has given. My nails are in same shade as my dress. Myria was successful in finding it after half an hour. And, yea it is exactly the same shade. I told you, they're crazy. I'm wearing a simple golden watch and nude wedges. All of my essentials are tucked in a creme handbag. My eyes have a smokey effect and lips have been coated with red. Small earrings dangle my ears. They are really pretty. Shreya always own the prettiest stuff and this earrings are hers. And, I'm ready.
"We rock! "They high - five, proud of their work, that being me.
" Totally. "Myria says.
As if on cue, I hear the doorbell ring of my PG. They squeal and the next thing I know is they are rushing down the stairs because both of them want to be the one to open the door.
I let out a small breath, which I didn't know I was holding back. Twirling a lock of my now - curly hair, I let out my breath as butterflies erupt in my stomach.
I hear his laughter and there's tornado raging in my stomach instead of butterflies.
Myria pops her head inside, smiling brightly at me. "Let's go." I nod, nervous.
"Hey, it's all gonna go great. Relax and enjoy. Okay? "She hugs me lightly before giving me a smile. I twirl the lock of hair and nod again.
His laughter echoes again and I'm lost in that beautiful sound.
Here I come, Manav.
