Mr.Not-So-Perfect

Chapter 25

I can't really decide whether I'm dreaming or not because right in front of me was Riddanth, in kurta pyjama looking as handsome as ever, walking towards me like he owns the place with a smile that I like so much. I was gawking at him like a fool with my eyes wide open. I don't how long I was checking him out but he snapped his fingers in front of my face successfully pulling me out of my frozen state.

"Wha-------ho----------wh----", I opened my mouth and then closed it multiple times trying to form a coherent sentence but failed each time.

"As amusing it is to watch you imitate a fish. I would very much appreciate if you come back to your human state", he chuckled.

I snapped out of the trance and asked a simple question, "What are you doing here?"

"I-", his voice was cut off my loud music indicating that the dandiya has resumed. I tried my best to hear at least a word he said but couldn't because of music blasting through the speakers louder than ever.

Understanding my situation he answered my question through actions. He showed his phone by which I understood that he saw my text and came here. But how come he knew we were here? I asked the same thing through actions and he pointed towards Evan meaning Evan told him about the place and time. As I contemplated about which question to ask him next, he pointed me then my face and showed a super symbol using his hands. I understood what he was saying and blushed and looked at him and repeated his action complementing him. He smiled his 'heart-warming-smile'.

"Okay, enough. Stop this 'Dumb charades' before I lose my mind", Rishitha said.

"We are communicating using actions because of music because of all the noise", I explained.

"Really, then how can you hear me?", Rishitha smirked.

I immediately felt like a fool because we were so engrossed in our actions that we did not notice the sound reduced and set to an acceptable level.

As if listening to my thoughts Rishitha said, "Exactly"

"Sorry", I said sheepishly.

"Hi, I'm Riddanth and you must be Rishitha", Riddanth introduced himself to my sister extending his hand for her to shake. She accepted his hand. "So you are the famous Riddanth"

"One and only", he smiled.

"Now I know why you were day dreaming. He's worth it", she whispered and then dragged Riddanth to the others.

"So, let me get this straight, you came here after a day we did because you wanted to surprise us?", Ravvs asked again.

"Yes, Ravvs, that is exactly what I said probably ten times in the span of five minutes", Riddanth said with irritated.

"Okay, no need to get irritated. Anyway, I'm tired. Can we please leave now?", she said leaning her head on Evan's shoulder.

"You guys carry on. I'll be just in a minute", I said and walked towards Sneha who was talking with her fiancé.

"So, love birds, what are you talking about?", I asked.

"I have a crisis", Sneha whined.

"What crisis", I asked genuinely confused and worried.

"You see, tomorrow I have to go to my aunt's house and also go to mall to buy some things and send them to Sampath's house. But obviously, I can't do both. So I'm worried", Sneha explained he so-called crisis.

"Okay, so now what. Can't you go to mall the day after", I asked.

"No, I can't. It has to be done", she said.
