Hi. How have you been?

I stared at the text, angry at myself. I did not know why I even thought of messaging him. Even he could have? It had been three days? Didn't he think about me at all? Or his ego was too big to text first.

07:53 pm

Arsalan
Good.

What the fuck Sithara? This was what he had to reply after making you wait for almost three hours. Get over him. Please. He didn't even bother to ask anything about you. Fuck you Sithara and let him die.

12:13 am

Arsalan
What about you?

Oh shit eventually. I wish I could make him wait a day and then reply but then I wish I could.

12:17 am

Sithara
I'm good too.

12:19 am

Arsalan
Just came into my room. Had a busy day.

I needed a better explanation if he was anyway apologising for replying late. I did not know it was hard to say sorry or thank you until I met Arsalan.

Sithara
Oh.

I was still mad, frustrated so that was what I could respond with. My insides were dying to somehow prolong the conversation but the better part of me reminded me of my self-respect. I could not just flow for him every time. But now he won't reply at all Sithara?

Arsalan
What's up?

Sithara
Nothing.

Arsalan
??

I realised it looked rude seeing his question marks. I didn't intend to be.

Sithara
Really nothing. I mean just lying on the bed, talking to you. So nothing. Wby?

Arsalan
Nothing

Sithara
??

Arsalan
Really nothing.

Sithara
But even I was doing something?😂

Arsalan
I thought of going to the gallery but then no. What would I do there? So lying on the bed, talking to you. So nothing. Okay?

I blushed and smiled. Sometimes I really wanted God to give me real cues and hints and tell me what was up in his mind. I felt so stupid eliciting what I wanted to hear from whatever he said. But.

Sithara
I miss the gallery. I mean I miss us.
Us talking.

I kept my fingers crossed. Daniya said it was okay to do risky and to be the one to initiate. Talking to a man was no sin but the thought of getting embarrassed at last bugged me.
