Part 4 : Hang Out?

||Shubman||

After I bid adieu to Anya's family I leave for Riya's. Abhay and Riya wanted me to stay at their place tonight. I text Dad while driving cause I know he must be waiting for me.

Staying at Riya's place tonight with Abhay. Don't wait for me.

I press the send button and continue driving. I reach her society in ten minutes. I go upstairs and ring the bell. She opens the door in no time.

"Hey" I say hugging her and she hugs me back.

"I thought you ain't coming, it's 12:45" she says leading me inside.

"Got stuck. Where is Abhay?" I ask her, "bedroom" she replies. Both of us go to her room.

"Hey" Abhay says flashing a bright smile seeing me. "Hey" I say returning the smile. Riya sat beside Abhay and I take the couch in her bedroom.

"So how was it?" He asks me. I just shrug.

"Let me guess, you messed it up, isn't it?" Riya asks. I nod. I tell them everything that happened in the restaurant and also that I dropped her home.

"Did she forgive you?" Abhay asks.

"I don't really know" I say shrugging.

"I don't think she did, he messed it up real bad this time" Riya says. "What's wrong Shub? I've never seen you doing this" she adds.

"You know what's wrong Riya, I can't get her off my mind, I'm not ready. I need time" I explain.

"I understand Shub, but just tell me what's Anya's fault? Do you have any idea how bad she felt?" Riya says, that's when realisation strikes me. She's right, it's actually not her fault.

"It's not his fault either, he isn't in the right state of mind" Abhay defends me. Riya nods.

"What should we do now?" I ask.

"Should I talk to her?" Riya suggests. "How'll that help?" I question her.

"C'mon Shub, I'm better than you when it comes to communication" she explains. She's actually right. Whenever I had a fight with Siya, Riya is the one fixes it.

"I like the idea" Abhay states.

"Okay" I say.

"Give me her number" Riya commands. "I don't have it" I reply.

"Then arrange it from somewhere, I need it tomorrow anyhow" she orders.

"But how?" I ask puzzled.

"That's your headache" she says. How am I supposed to get her number? We don't even have mutual friends.

"I'm going to sleep now, I've office" she says. "I'm joining" Abhay follows her. I went to the other room and laid on the bed thinking of ways to get Anya's number but soon felt asleep.

Once we went inside, I immediately rush to my room to avoid the the question-answer session about which I was certain. I don't want to lie to them about the evening, not because I let them down but for some reason I didn't want them to have a bad impression of Shubman. I was still made at him but he's helped me. I saw two sides of him today and now I'm confused which one is the real one.
