When did I become this much careless to forget my mobile in his car and not even acknowledge till Abi mentioned about it.

My alarm is his song. What he will think that I am fighting with him but keeping his song as alarm tone? I know what I am doing is weird.

I called Navya from Abi's mobile to get Mukti's number. I called Mukti but she is not picking up. She might be sleeping now, I should try again in the morning around 9.

I saw the same black BMW crossed my flat. Is that his car?

No, it should be someone, not him. But the same car crosses again and again twice.

May be it is him, trying to return my mobile. Does he found out about the alarm?

May be.

.

.

May be not.

.

.

May be.

.

.

May be not.

Anyway, I need to get my mobile back and I need to face him. I went near the gate waited for him to show up again. This time, he did not show up for some time. I think I should stick to plan A to call Mukti, heard car horn sound and he came out of the car with my mobile. He did not wear anything other than his usual irritating smirk, so I guess he didn't hear my alarm. His eyes are red; He looks tired also, it seems he did not slept well may be didn't sleep at all, when I saw him yesterday he is not looking tired.

"Your mobile" He gave to me.

"Thanks. By the way, want to come to my flat?"

"Why suddenly you are nice to me"?

"You look tired Mr.."

"Okay, so why sudden concern" Does he always be with this so called arrogant attitude?

"Its not concern, you did favour by returning my mobile, so its my turn to return the favour, That's it"

"I will get the favour some other time. There is no screen lock and no applock for even gallery. Use those feature hereafter"

"You went through my gallery?"

"Yeah... how can find whose mobile is this then?"

"If I found a mobile in my car, I will call the emergency number saved in the mobile not go through the gallery considering privacy of others"

"Person who considers their privacy so important would have set applock. You didn't consider your privacy important and so I am."

"I have not seen such arrogant people than you"

"Good that no one else is competition to me"

"Whatever makes you sleep peace fully"

"Don't forget about the favour"

"We will not meet again, so ask now"

"I don't think so" with that, he drove away. He doesn't have the habit of finishing a conversation properly.

I opened my mobile to see 10 missed calls, 6 from Abi and 4 from Harshad.

Harshad... I forgot this character and he have sent many messages asking whether I reached home safely. If he is so concern then he shouldn't ask me work late night. I just replied 'I reached home safe' for all his 15 messages.

"Share you are location in whatsapp"

"You will reach Pune bus stop in 30 minutes, Abi already started towards bus stop, when you come he will be waiting for you there"

Navya and Abi reached flat in next one hour.

"Welcome to Pune Ms Navya Sridhar"

"Thank you Nandhini Murthy. And you both invited to my welcoming party"

"Party? When?"

"This week Friday"

She is impossible, its not even one day her stay in Pune but she is inviting me to her welcome Party.

"And who are invited to this party your majesty?"

"You, Abi, Mukti and she may invite her few friends".

Her answer made me rewind...

"We will not meet again"

"I don't think so"

Hope he won't come to this part.

"I know what you are thinking and I will always pray the opposite"

Navya need to stop reading my mind.

"What are you thinking?" he asked me and turn towards Navya "and what you pray for? Does I am missing anything?"

"It's nothing big Abi" Navya started and I know she will sure exaggerate and tell to him.

"Do you have feeling for Manik?" is the first question Abi asked me after Navya's narration.

"Abi, you know her very well, don't play along with her".

"Abi you are also invited to the party. You are coming right?"

"Nope, I have duty till Saturday. I can't sorry"

"Party is at night, so you can come"

"He has his shift from 6pm to next day 3am" I informed Navya.

I opened the door as I heard calling bell only to get hug form Mukti. Mukti literally pounced in name of hug.

"You are staying in Pune but you have not invited to your flat or came to mine. Navya is the one who called us first you are mean Nandhini."

"It is not like you understood, I came to know that you are also staying in Pune when I met you in Chennai. When I return to Pune, I really struck up with my project. I am really sorry that I didn't call you"

I really need to learn how to keep in touch with my friends. I am weak in that subject. Navya is always there for me so I never felt lonely and I do not want anything more but I should respect the people who love me.

"If your old buddies talk is over, can we come in" I was embarrassed as Cabir mentioned that I was talking with Mukti and without inviting them inside.

I move little giving them space to enter.

"So everyone came?" Navya shouted from my behind.

"No, the number less... Where is Manik?" She answered her own question and questioned again.

"He has some work" Dhruv answered. This is third time I saw Dhruv speaking.

He is shy type and he spoke to me only when Mukti introducing each other for first time after that he never spoke to me even made any attempt to speak, neither did I. I doubt how he managed to remain reserved even having friends like Cabir and Mukti. I was reserved but Navya's influence changed me little but not to the whole as I am still reserved to the people who I did not felt comfortable with.

"Will he come?" Navya asked the question studying me reaction.

Reality hits me now. Does he avoid as he find my annoying. However, he was the one who mentioned we would meet soon.

"May be come late or may not" Dhruv answered Navya again.

Why should I care, like I said earlier, I should respect the people who love me, not waste my time thinking who hates me.
