what he wants to say now?

(Ecche)
I return from hospital at 7am. So I thought of making breakfast. After a long time, we will have breakfast together. I went to the kitchen and made French toast, omlete, and coffee. When I came from kitchen I saw PRI has waken up. After a while I went to her room and saw she was getting ready.
“Why you’re getting ready so early? Let’s have breakfast together.”
“ Actually Darshan has invited me for breakfast.”
“Wo accha tab thik hai.”
“Let’s have breakfast now. Darshan 11am se aage uthne nahi Wala hai.” I smirked.
“Maam, you’re wrong. He is in the roads. Waiting for me.” And her words pierced my heart.
“Usko upar aane ko bol.”
“Haa. Aaraha hai.”
“Ok.” I said and left.
Door bell rang. I opened the door. And obviously it was Darshan. He was looking smoking hot in that black hoodie, ripped jeans and sunglass. I couldn’t take my eyes off from him. Abb to adaat hi padh gayi hai.
“Didn’t you slept yet?”
“na. Main neend mein chal rahi hu.”
“Accha. To chal main tujhe sula deti hu.”
“Q? Mere hone se tujhe problem ho raha hai?”
“Tuu to khud hi ek problem hai. Jaha bhi jayegi Tere saath problem bhi jayega.”
“Thik Kaha. Isiliye chali jaungi sabke jindegi se Durr.”
“Tab to Shanti hi Shanti rahega.”
“Mujhe khone k baad ek din tum..”
“Main Yaad nahi Karne Wala hoon.”
“dekhna tuu royega. Bolega miss ice cream wapas aaja. Aur nahi sataunga.”
“din k sapne sach nahi hote hai yaar.”
“Hehhehehehe. Bohot funny.”
“Abb jab tuu yaha hai hi chal ek saath breakfast Karne chalte hai.”
“Main pehle bhi yahi thi Darshan.” I paused. “ And mujhe bohot jorr k neend aarahi hai. Main Ghar pe breakfast Karke so jaungi.”  I stand up and went to Pri’s room directly. PRI is ready. She is looking not less than a fairy. Why wouldn’t Darshan love her? Wo aise  hi ek.ladki hai jis ke liye Sare kaynaat  pyaar karega .
“Jaldi ready hoja. Warna mr.bakbak k bakbak se main pagal hojaungi. Jaldi Kar. Ye le ear rings, wristwatch. And nikal le.”
“Sab thik hai na?”
“Aise pooch rahi hai jaise boy friend k saath date pe jaa raha hai.”
“Chal hat bey. Wo boyfriend hogi Teri. Main to aise hi Khana khane jaa rahi hu😂😂”
“Ha pata hai mujhe sab. Jyada gyaan k jaroorat nahi hai. Abb nikal na. Mujhe Sona hai.”
“Accha thik hai. Waise main waha se direct office chali jaungi.”
“Ok. Sab thik hai.” I pushed her and we came to Darshan. After seeing PRI he couldn’t take their eyes off. He was direct looking into PRI's eyes. Maybe it was for a moment, for a second but I felt they were looking at each other for eternity. They are looking at each other and I’m unable to see that. Don’t know what I will do in future! ‘They love each other. They love each other' echoed in my ears.
“Ahem..ahem”  they moved a lil.
“Chale?” Darshan asked PRI.
“Tuu bhi chal na” both of them said in unison.
“Main kabab main haddi nahi Hona chati hu.” I grinned. PRI rolled her eyes and I blinked. Wo aise kyo karti hai jaise wo Darshan se pyaar nahi karta? Mujhe sab dikhta hai. Main itna bhi bewakuf nahi hu. Ya phir wo mere liye Darshan ko aapne se Durr kardegi? Qki main Darshan se pyaar karti hu? And if this happens then it’ll be wrong. Very wrong.
“I mean ki mujhe Sona hai. And Maine itne mehnat se breakfast banaya hai. Wo kon khayega? Tum log?”
“Tune banaya hai? Smoky flavoured dish? Mujhe nahi Khana.”
“Mr. This is not that Ecche. She has changed a lot. Now she can even cook.”
“Yes. This is a changed Ecche. Upgraded version.”  I said.
“Tum log kitna bakbak karte ho yaar. Niklo na. Ek to ye Mumbai k traffic dusri itna late karte ho. Ekdam dinner Karke aana phir.” I chided. They laughed at me and left. I closed the door and sat there keeping my knees near my chest. I buried my face there and motionlessly sat there.

“Main chahu tujhe kisi aur ko tuu chahe yaara
Abb pyaar nahi hoga humse dobara.
Pyaar  tujhe hum karte hai Inna saara”
“Main sochu tujhe tuu soche kisi aur ko yaara
Abb pyaar nahi hoga humse phir dobara”
“Keh Diya sab Kuch lekin Kuch to Baki hai.
Mujhko to Teri ek najar hi kafi hai.”

I came to hospital early today. I don’t have any work here, I could rest in home but the fact is I’m feeling suffocated there. That  house has the beginning and it will have the end. 'which end? You and Darshan are good friends. In fact very good one. He does all the silliest things in front of you without any hesitation. He tells you everything before revealing it to anyone else. He can cry In front of you  . Being a fangirl You’ve always wanted this thing na? Then why you’re being so vulnerable? If you remain this weak everyone will come in your life and give you wounds. So stop being so weak. You’re strong.’ My inner mind said to me. My mind and my heart is at war now. I was with my professor when suddenly my phone biped. I excused myself and went outside. After 8 long days it’s a call from my best friend. Darshan. Finally he missed me. And at least he didn’t forget me. That’s great, isn’t it? I received the call at 4th ring.
“Oyyyyeee Kaha pe hai? Itne der kon lagata hai phone uthane mein?”
“Shhhh. Dheere. I’m in hospital.”
“Abhi? You were supposed to take rest right now? Then what the hell you’re doing there now?”
“Sorry?”
“can’t you understand what I’ve said?”
“I didn’t understand why you’ve said.”
“ Tell me only one thing. Didn’t you sleep?”
“I take a small nap.”
“Don’t lie. Why you’re doing this? Today PRI said that you’re not taking your meal properly. And now you’re not sleeping also. Why you’re doing this to yourself?”
“what I’m doing to myself? I’m perfectly all right. And by the way, did you guys talk about me in you’re breakfast date?” I taunted.
“Date?” he fumbled. “ajj free kab horahi hai? Tere se meet karna hai.”
“5pm at Starbucks?”
“Done.” And we cut the call.
(Darshan)
I cut the call and saw Hardik was staring at me.
“Ecche se meet karne jaa rahi hai?”
“Ha. I’ve thought of saying her everything.”
“No you won’t. Can’t you see how much she has changed after your drunk confession? Don’t do this to her.”
“Youre overthinking. She is my best friend and being my best friend she needs to know this.”
“I’m requesting you. Don’t do this.”
“Hardik. What’s on earth you’re saying?”
“You know what.  You can guide a blind. But you can’t guide a person who pretend as a blind. And one more thing, Ecche is like my sister. I won’t forgive you if something happens to her. I swear.” And he stomped out and disappear . I didn’t understand what he said or what he tried to say.
