HIGH AND LOW [COMPLETED]

The Invite

Hey there, back again.

Let's get started

.........................................................................

Sonakshi stepped out of the room like the spring leaves the year behind, sulking and waiting for it. Dev was cold, technically it should be hot as per my exmaple, but he was cold and rigid. He felt a pang of guilt and rush of pain gushing inside his heart rapidly and he just couldn't stop but cry out. Not out loud. He has never done that.
Why is this even feel like a break-up when nothing ever adjoined at the first place?
But boy, is that even a valid question, because they always felt like together, together since decades they have been alive. What couldn't get into Dev's mind was why there's always this confusing conversation with her and never a clear cut talk.? Why they keep hitting around the bushes and expect the other one to just realised what are they saying?
But, not until you notice, I just used the expect word. Everything is automatically fair in love and expectation. You can expect anything and hurt yourself. That's how it is with us people, isn't it.

Dev rammed his luggage bag shut and sat there with his head in his hands. Whatever shit it is, it hurts for sure.
Meanwhile, sonakshi ran into her room and immediately picks out the small shriveled lily out of her purse and put it on the mirror. She looks at it and she just couldn't fade the memories she has with it. He gave her, for the first time. That's her problem, he has given hell lot of things she can't get rid of. Her mind starts travelling the lane of conversation they just had minutes ago. He sounded like he wanted her, but he never understood what she wanted neither even asked her. Don't true lovers always understand each other? But wait, how on earth true love came in between.
She is thinking hell lot things these days, she has to stop now.

Dev pulls out his shoes from the corner of the room and sat all ready to tie it in. His luggage was perfectly packed there on the bed. When he ties the shoes, he remembers the promise he made to Dinesh Ji, in all this chaos between him and sonakshi, he might have forgot that, but it's good he rememered on the right time. Dev never breaks his promises, even the little ones.
He goes out of the camp to search for Dinesh as he has to leave now.

Dinesh was near the workers camp when he saw Dev coming towards him, he immediately took out his phone and faked like talking on it. Dev neared him and all he heard was  "ho aai" "ho aai, mai le aaunga"  "are boss h meri, aise kaise nhi manengi" "ho ho, namaskar".
{ "Yes mom" "yes I'll bring them" "she is my boss, why won't she come" "yeah okay, bie"}

Dev couldn't deem out really what was the conversation was about but he sure as hell knew it was having sonakshi in it. Dinesh put the phone inside his pocket and turned out and acted surprised to spot Dev behind him.

Dinesh:- Are dev bhau...I was about to come to you only.

Dev:- yeah Dinesh bhai, as you made me promise I came to meet you, now I have to leave okay.

Dinesh(making really sad face, over acting I'm not judging):- are dev bhau, I was coming to invite you for a dinner at my house. My aai just called and I told her about all of you people, she was so pleased to see how you padhe-likhe {literate} log have still the sanskar and culture of our country. She so much wanted to meet you and she even started preparing dinner, all the famous Mumbai dishes.

Dev:- Are but..How can I....

Dinesh( cutting him in between):- koi bat nhi dev bhau....Its obviously more important for you to go back than my budhi mother wanting to meet and feed you all by her own. It's okay Dev bhau, you are big man, I'll tell her you won't be joining us. (Making really poor sad voice)
