KHUSHI
I take a quick glance in the mirror, a rich cream textured kurthi that toils till the ankle, matched with a netted dupatta, chandelier stoned earrings that danced in sync with the gaseous molecules, a fish tail braid to finish off my look. Now that I'm satisfied with my outfit..
Beep Beep .
A text message, it's from Pranav, he has booked a cab for me. Now that's creepy he's never been a gentlemen before. Now, now... his voice rather sounded nervous over the phone call. Maybe another personal issue, his family life is more complicated than a labyrinth maze, you get lost in it, trying to figure a way out. With thoughts juggling in my mind, I get down the stairs.
Where are you off to? My mom questions, her expression is stern.
To see Pranav, I guess it's an emergency.
Well, it's always an emergency with that boy, be back by dinner.
Sure mom, I will
Uff...the same scene for the 99th time, I don't know why, but mom was never comfortable with our relationship, she's usually very friendly with all my other colleagues, friends. Irrespective of gender but Pranav gives her weird vibes.
I open the fibre glass door, and the chill brunch breeze brushes all my thoughts away, walking towards the cab I get in,
"OTP mam"?
"1313".
The ride starts off smooth. I check the location for the first time, why did he choose this place? This is where we first met, we have never been there after that.
15 minutes later, I see Pranav waving at me.
"Bhai, drop me here".I tell him
"Theeke behan ji".
Even before I could give him the cash, he replies the cash is taken care of.
"Thank you". I move out.
