Priyanka.
I just opened the door and i stood there frozen. In front if me was - Sameer.
"Wow! I didn't knew you could sense my presence so well, princess."
"S..Sameer, what are you doing here?"
"Well, no reply to my texts and phone calls. I thought you could atleast reply to my sweet aamd handsome face."
"Nothing such. Actually, yeah.. was not well."
"Not well, huh? Then where are you going? To the doctor?" I was speechless. This guy always catches me when I lie.
"Oh nothing, Sameer. Come on! Stop acting like a detective."
"Yeah. Okay, okay. But.. can I come in?"
"Oh. Yeah, sure. I'm so sorry." I directed him towards my room.
"You go and have a seat. Meanwhile, I'll go and get something. Make yourself comfortable."
"Cool." I smiled and headed towards the kitchen. I placed some freshly baked cookies in a plate, a glass of orange juice and headed towards my room. The door was open, so I walked in easily. I saw the bracelet in Sameer's hand and stood there frozen.
"This bracelet.. I gave this to Namrata!" He recalled and said. "How did it reached here?"
Shit! I kept the bracelet on my shelf where it could be easily visible to anyone who entered my room. How could I be so irresponsible?!
"Priyanka. I'm asking you something. For heaven's sake, answer me!" He raised his voice and yelled at me.
"Sameer. I was gonna tell you about it earlier.. but.."
"Just cut the crap and come to the point, Priyanka. How did this bracelet ended up in your room?"
"Okay." I narrated him the whole story - Varun and Kirti, to pairing up him and Namrata.
"I know that even you must be hating me by now and that you don't want to see my face. It's okay, Sameer. You can go on and express your anger. I'm ready for it."
"Did I say anything like that?" He raised his eyebrows at me and asked. I was shocked by what Sameer replied. I stood there speechless.
"You love Varun, don't you?"
"Sameer.. you're.."
"Yes or no, Priyanka? I mean atleast now stop hiding your feelings!"
"Yes."
"I knew it, Priyanka. From the first day we met, I knew you felt something for Varun. It's written all over your face."
"I'm sorry Sameer. All this mess has started because of me. I.. I don't know what to say", and I broke down crying for the second time in the last one hour. Great! I thought to myself. (note sarcasm)
"Hey. Chill, Priyanka. Stop crying. Things will be fine." He said with a sweet smile.
"I don't think so."
"Trust me, they will. Look, first you were tensed about facing me and now things are alright between us. Now it's just Varun and Namrata. I will handle Namrata and you go ahead and talk to Varun."
I sighed and replied, "I don't think that I have the courage to do so."
"Okay, I understand. But the next time when you receive a call or text from Varun, do reply to it. Rest will happen on it's own." He gave me an assurance smile.
"Really?"
"Yeah, really. Now have these cookies."
"That's for you Sameer."
"Yaa. I'll have, but first you eat. You need it more than I do." I smiled and took a bite. We talked, laughed and giggled for some more time. Then Sameer stood up to leave.
"So cheer up, princess. Wipe your tears and take your beauty nap. Meanwhile, I'll go and plan out something for us. And, I'm taking the bracelet with me. Bye."
"Bye, Sameer." I accompanied him to the door, and saw my Mom. We both exchanged smiles, because we both realized - Yes! Things will be alright soon!
Rest of the day was spent lazily in front of TV and every minute, I checked my phone in expectation of a call or text from someone.
