The Niche

The Pink Sky

After the almost kiss scene there wasn't any moment when Tushar didn't apologize. It was nice and cute but also super irritating.

I said "I don't mind", "it's okay" thousand times but he seemed to ignore it and started a long string of sorry like it is okay, should've though before doing it.

I hate when boys do that. Where was your conscious at the place of the matter?

I knew he regretted it but I said I don't mind and meant it the very first time. Of course on my way back home from the game I was baffled and didn't know what to think but after his text my anger sort of mellow down and like can you blame him? I am hash tag flawless.

Today I was meeting him in the old café, the café where we went for our first date. We completed one month today let's see if he remembers. I cannot believe it has been a month already, it almost feels like yesterday.

I reached the café early and took our table. For time pass I looked around and notice the café was really lonely, nobody came here much. The creepy waiters were seated in the corner and the manger was watching something on the computer with his mouth open,

We all know what it was.

I felt really weird and silently prayed that Tushar comes soon. It was hard to wait in such a creepy place with no phone. I could not even call him all I can do is wait.

A little side information, I don't have a phone because of my parent's pact; I get a phone after my class twelfth.

A fact about me: I absolutely despise waiting.

Especially, when I have no phone to play games in or to check social media if not both I can keep myself occupied by organizing my documents.

Minutes passed but there was no sign of Tushar, I was getting restless. Many thoughts were running in my brain.

I hated this.

After what felt like an hour I saw Tushar on the doorway.

Finally

He was gesturing me to come out, without thinking I ran towards the door, it was my escape. I reached to him and we got out of the premises.

"Where were you" I shouted receiving a total shocked expression from Tushar. He always took me as a docile little human being today he will see a different color.

"Tell me! Where were you?" I asked again.

"I was...I was" he stammered as I killed him with my eyes.

I continued looking at him when he flashed his smile. He is smiling yeah he is just showing off his denture fine.

"Really? After keeping me for an hour waiting in a filthy place you smile?" I said infuriated.

"babe" he started, when he says babe I melt "I was busy"

"Elaborate"

"Umm...my mother...wanted my help with...with...her clothes" he completed after stammering and thinking.

"Clothes?" totally legit

"yeah she wanted to buy so I had to drove her there"

I settled a little bit. Maybe it is true, maybe he really went with his mother. Seeing my softened expression he came a little closer and took my hand in his hand.

"Sorry" he whispered.

"Okay" I said.

"You are beautiful"
