Part 19 : The unknown number

||Anya||

"Umm.. dad" I said trying to seek his attention.

"Haan?" He replied looking up from the newspaper he was reading.

"I wanted to talk about something" I said.

"What is it?" he asked keeping the newspaper aside.

"Uh.. actually.." I paused.

"Anya" he said softly. "Just tell me what is it" he said.

"Actually Shubman and I are planning to get engaged next month" I finally said.

The moment I said this, a huge grin formed on Dad's face. It seemed he wanted to hear this from me since a long time.

"It's an amazing news!" he exclaimed.

"So you're okay with it?" I asked him.

"Of course! I always wanted this to happen" he squealed in happiness.

"Well I'll inform Shub then" I said getting up.

"I've waited so long​ for this. Thank you so much" he stood up and hugged me. I hugged him back.

"Anything for you dad" I said pulling apart. He kissed my forehead.

I went upstairs and called Shubman to give the confirmation about our engagement next month.

"Hey" he answered the call.

"I talked to Dad" I said. "About our engagement" I added.

"Oh. What did he say?" he asked with slight curiosity in his voice.

"Well he's really happy. He wants us to get engaged next month"

"Are you happy?" he asked out of the blues.

"I'm if he is" I replied.

"Next month it is then" he said. "I'll inform my parents" he added.

"Yeah okay" I replied.

We talked for few more minutes and hung up after this.

Finally, I've a date for my engagement. Not an exact one but still it's confirmed that I'll get engaged​ next month.

I've one more headache. I've to go shopping with Shubman yet again and I'm sure he isn't listening to me this time either.

I was drifted away from my thoughts by my phone's ringtone. I checked the call was from an unknown number. Who can it be?

I picked up the call and said, "hello?"

"Hello? Anya?" A masculine voice spoke from the other side.

"Yeah who's this?" I asked.

"It's Prithvi" he replied. Why is he calling me? I didn't reply for a few seconds.

"Anya you there?" He asked.

"Oh yeah I'm. Hi Prithvi" I replied.

"How are you?" He asked.

"I'm fine. From where did you get my number?" I asked.

"I actually got it from Abhay" he replied.

"Oh" I sighed, "something important?" I asked.

"Umm.. I actually wanted to apologise for that day. At the club" he said and I could feel the guilt in his voice.

"It's okay Prithvi. I already forgave you" I said.
