That Hindi Proverb

--


Hey, Lalit sir told me to inform you that shoot
is at 10 am tomorrow.

Hearing the ping of his phone, Nakuul unlocked it to find a text from Surbhi. His heart skipped a beat, as if it belonged to some schoolboy receiving a message from his crush.

Thanks, will be there.

He waited for a reply from her, but it didn't come. What would she reply, anyway? Fiddling with the phone, Nakuul thought of ways to keep the conversation going. It had been 6 months since they had started working for Ishqbaaaz and Nakuul Mehta was slowly gaining a big crush on his co-star.

What are you up to?

Hitting send, he lay down on his bed. Surbhi took a while to respond.

Just lying in bed.

That's it? Nakuul thought. Wasn't she gonna ask him what he's doing?

Great. Good night.

Nakuul wondered if that sounded rude, but he was hurt at the lack of attention she was giving him.

Oh, you about to sleep?

Nakuul typed away at light-speed at that.

No no, why?

I'm bored, so thought
we could chat for a while.
Nevermind, good night!

Growling at his own stupidity, Nakuul almost threw away his phone and broke it, SSO style, as his mind registered that Hindi proverb about pair and kuladhi.
