I can't sleep! I keep imagining that Basil guy, his eyes, and his smile. Ugh! I so wanna sleep! I can focus! I can do it!
5:30 am
I'm still not asleep!
7am
Okay! I just woke up after a good sleep!
11 am
Neha and I went to Aparna's flat. I rang the bell and I heard the door behind us opening, I turned back and there he was! Wearing jet black t-shirt and track pants, Basil! He smiled to me and I rudely turned my head away, I couldn't sleep properly because he was getting into my head. His eyes looked hurt, and I immediately felt sorry.
Me: HI! Basil!
His face blossomed at once.
Just then Aparna opened the door and greeted me, she greeted Basil also. That was when Fredy bhaiiyya also came out from Basil's house. Basil told me to wait a second. He went inside and brought a box of pastries. He took one and gave to Neha and one to Aparna and then took another one and came to me.
Me: yeah but what's the occasion?
Basil: occasion is that I'm turning 21 today, now will you take one?
Me: huh? Omg! Happy birth----
That's all I remember, he had by then put the pastry into my mouth with his hands. I was struck by surprise and kept staring at him with awe. That's when fredy bhaiiyya coughed hard and cleared his throat just to make us aware of his presence. I quickly caught the remaining piece of cake and Basil retracted his hands. He excused himself and went inside the house. And I got into Aparna's house.
At Aparna's house I got really bored because it seemed like she was avoiding me. Did I do something wrong? I got fed up and stood up from there and told Neha that I was leaving. And I closed the door behind me, I was about to return when Trishna saw me and called me upstairs. I told her I was leaving but she insisted that I go upstairs, and I complied. That was when I saw that they were all there. Trishna, Basil, Fredy bhaiiyya, Niki, Ben, and another girl who introduced herself to me as Fredy bhaiiyya's sister. They were all playing antakshari together and insisted I join them. I loved singing so then I joined. When it was my turn I sang a melody and everyone liked it.
Fredy: Man! You sing well!
Me: why thank you bhaiiyya!
And then it was Basil's turn. And I was in for a surprise. I saw him open his mouth to sing and then I looked away distracting myself. Have you ever seen melted butterscotch ice cream? That was how he sounded! His velvety smooth sound filled the air and I turned to look at him. Damn! Why is his voice so perfect? Why is his pitch perfect? Why was his voice so melodious? He had his eyes closed while singing and my mind was at work, admiring him! I was so lost in him that I couldn't take my eyes off him and kept staring at me even after the song ended (yeah! You guessed it, Fredy bhaiiyya teased me about that and I went red again). We played for an hour and then Basil invited us home and told us he'll make us all a glass of lime with his own hands. Fredy bhaiiyya cracked another of his lame jokes at that and this time I laughed. Basil scowled at me and I out my tongue out to mock him. He got angry at that and ran to chase me, but I couldn't run even five feet because he caught me too soon!
Yeah so he made us all fantabulous lemonade.
Fredy: where's your glass?
Basil: mine is in the kitchen, you guys carry on and test it, and I'm not drinking anything until it is proven to be free of side-effects.
