“I am bored.”
“Me too.”
‘I am so bored that I will die.”
“I have counted three hundred seconds so far and its taking infinity.”
“Vidhyuth, call Mike again.”
The guy in question glared at all of us in acute exasperation. Well, I couldn’t blame him; it looked like we all had no patience when it comes to waiting. We had been chatting idly for about an hour and a half and we became quickly bored of our surroundings. The fact that it was still sunny and hot didn’t help either, we were all too bored to be calm.
“I did call him and he is on his way.”
“That’s what you said FIVE MINUTES BACK!” Alia wailed.
“That’s because you guys don’t seem to care about the time it takes to get here!’
I took a huge gulp of water, feeling faintly queasy and weak again, the sun was just adding fuel to the fire. “I want to go home!”
“Don’t we all?” he countered.
I scowled at him. “Then call Mike and ask him to speed up!”
“Sameera, don’t be a pain now.”
“Pain? You’re calling this angel a pain? I am shocked, Vidhyuth. I wonder what you will call her then?” Rithwik grinned, pointing to Nikki, who was chatting idly with Avinash.
“Come on, don’t fight, its too hot to laugh and cheer on” Rid said, fanning her face.
“I really don’t like him” Nikki said, narrowing her eyes at Rithwik, who was relaxed next to me, sitting on top of the car.
“That hurts, like, so much,” Rithwik assured, smirking at her. “I don’t like your friend” he murmured in my ear.
“Well, I don’t think Nikki likes you either.”
“Then I should totally try to get her.”
“But you said you don’t like her!”
“Don’t like who?”
“So you like her?” I asked excitedly.
Rithwik grinned wickedly. “Well, Sameera, I have to be totally honest when I say I am a great fan of the art of chase. It is a journey sweeter than the success part, isn’t it?”
“I am going to kill you if you think you can treat Nikki as a chase.”
“I wasn’t even done. Sometimes, the success can also be sweeter.”
“Tell me in proper words. Do you like Nikki?”
He winked at me. “I like you.’
“Come on, Rithwik, be serious!”
“People over here, get your attention on me!” he said loudly, standing up. “By that, I mean you too, Crazy Lady” he added to Nikki, who actually growled at him. He grinned. “Ok, thanks. I just have to announce that I am now completely in love with this ever charismatic and charming and sweet Sameera Kapoor and want to know if you will give me your blessing.’
“Wait, what-” I began.
“Totally” Alia said, rolling her eyes.
“Yeah, sure, whatever” Rid said with the same tone.
“Happy for you, bro” Avinash said, giving a thumbs up.
“Don’t you dare even THINK of getting your baleful presence on my best friend!” Nikki said, turning a page of vogue.
