Mitali struggled one last time to find the perfect dress for the event. All her clothes didn't quite say ' I'm ready to party!'. Oh well!
Just then , the bathroom door opened and stepped out Tapasya, wearing a shimmering red dress. Mitali's jaw dropped in awe.
Taps: Aise kya dekh rahi ho?
Mitali:(smilingly) Look, I'll try to be as subtle as possible but, Dude! If I were a guy, I'd totally date you!
Tapasya laughed.
Mitali: You look amazing!
Taps: Thanks! I wish I could say the same, but why the hell aren't you ready yet?
Mitali: Arrey yaar! Mai koi bhi western dress nahi layi hu. Saare traditional dresses hai. Ab mai lehenga cholli pehenke to cocktail party mein ja nahi sakti na!
Taps: To itna tension lene ki kya baat hai? Mere paas ek aur western dress hai. Tum voh pehen lo.
Mitali raised a brow.
Mitali: Tum mujhe apne kapre dena chahti ho?
Taps: Ha to?
Mitali: Wow, pata hai agar koi mujhse ek saal pehle yeh kehta ki St. Marcus ki queen B mujhe apne kapre pehnne degi, mai uss par has deti!
Tapasya made a face and said,
Taps: Tumhe cocktail party mein jana hai ya nahi?
Mitali: Ha ha jana hai, sorry!
Tapasya handed over the dress to her and she went to change. Just then, Tapasya noticed Mitali's phone vibrating.
Taps: Mitali, tumhara phone baj raha hai!
Mitali:(from the washroom) To utha lo! Kire nahi nikalte mere phone se!
Taps shook her head and picked up the call,
Taps: Hello?
Voice: MITU! MAI PICHLE KAB SE TUJHE PHONE KARNE KI KOSHISH KAR RAHI HU! KAHA HAI TU? AUR UPAR SE PATA NAHI ISS PHONE KO KYA HO GAYA HAI?! JAB DEKHO LOW BATTERY KE NAAM PE BANDH HO JATA HAI! TU SUN BHI RAHI HAI MAI KYA BOL RAHI HU?
Tapasya wasn't listening. She had put away the phone the minute the voice on the other end started screaming. She turned on the speaker mode and said,
Taps: Dekhiye aap jo bhi bol rahi hai, mai Mitali nahi hu. I'm......
Voice: Par yeh to meri Mitu ka phone hai. Iska matlab tumne meri Mitu ka phone chori kar liya?!
Taps; Ji nahi, mai uski dost hu.....
Voice: Hey bhagwaan! Kya kalyug aa gaya hai?! Ab dost hi ek dusre ke phone chori karne lage hai!
Taps: Ji nahi aap galat samajh rahi hai......
