The Miracle We Met

Chapter 23 - Got One Friend Back

"Wow!! You still remember my voice."

I was literally neutral at that time. My heart wants to be happy but my brain doesn't. I was expecting someone else..Suho..

"Yeah!! How can I forget you.."

"So it's lunch time, right? Did you had your lunch?"

I wanted to ask 'why do you care' but instead I said, "Yes" I lied.

"You are lying" He guessed it.

Again..I wanted to say, 'mind your own business' but instead said, " I mean I was just going to have."

"Wow!! You are a good liar now" he said.

'Yes!! Because of you and your friend' I said in my mind.

"Ohk I have to go now. Just save my new number..I am going to disturb you from this number." He hang up the phone.

I thought for a second..saved his number
'Chanyeol Ajuss....'
I deleted it and wrote again just 'Chanyeol'.

Deep inside my heart, I knew that I was happy in a way. I was expecting something else but I was satisfied to get at least one friend back.

In the evening, as soon as I entered my room, he called again.

"Back from lab?" He said as soon as I picked up.

"Have you fit any spy camera around me or what? How can you be so correct?" I asked him jokingly.

"Because I think, I know you better than you know yourself." He replied.

'What does he means that he knows me better'

I didn't give any response so he said again,
"Did you know, we finally completed shooting one episode for 'Running Man' last week!!"

His happiness can be visualised by his voice. And yes!! Running Man was one of my favourite variety show. I told them once that I want to see them in the show.

"That's great!! I will be waiting for that episode" I was happy too.

"Finally, some happiness can be sensed in your voice." He continued..
"So how's your lab work going? How's your rude professor? What about those nagging seniors?" He asked.

"You still remember them..they are okay now..or you can say that now I'm not affected my them at all." I replied.

I was trying my best to be formal with him. The more questions he was asking, the less answers I was giving.

I was afraid of him, afraid of myself and afraid of everything.

Nearly 1 month passed again. Chanyeol used to call me for atleast once in a while in the whole day, whenever he gets time. I never gave him a call from my side. He used to tell about his recent activities and ask me about what I did whole day etc etc.

We never talked about Suho. Neither I asked nor he told. He knew talking about him will make me uncomfortable.

He was busy in shooting for his drama. The drama was about a girl who met his idol accidentally when he was trying to hide away from media in a public place. It was 12 episodes drama, till then all 3 episodes were a hit. Suho and Irene were like a hot couple in the town, about whom everyone was talking about.

I didn't gather much courage to look at those episodes. So I was not knowing what exactly was happening in the drama. I was healed by then so didn't want to get hurt again.

I started waiting for Chanyeol's call now. I started laughing over his jokes again. In a way, I was alive again..

"Hey Chingua, you know that I am going to open a studio along with MQ hyung. We will also promote our studio through YouTube and Instagram. Hope everyone will support us." Chanyeol happily gave a good news that day.

"Of course, they are going to support you..don't worry. Just keep following your passion." I congratulated him.

"But I will be busier now." His voice suddenly sounded low.

"So what's wrong with getting busy. You are made for it. You should give more and more time to it." I tried consoling him.

"Yeah!! I know..I don't have any problem in that..I can work with music all 24 hours..but the thing is..I won't be able to call you much." He said

"It's alright, don't take much load of it." I said.

"No..I don't know about you but..it has been integrated in my habit to talk to you..."

After he said these words, there was a pause for 60 secs. I didn't say anything. I didn't want to reply but I thought I should make it clear..

"Look Chanyeol.." I started saying something when he interrupted.

"When is your friend's wedding??" He stopped me from completing my sentence.

"Navi's wedding?? Yes, it's in the first week of next month." I too ignored my previous words.

"Are you not going to invite me?" Chanyeol said laughingly.

"Are you going to come, if we invite you?"I smiled.

"I can..if you will invite me.. with love" He said jokingly.

"Shut up. I know it's impossible. I will send you the pics for sure."

"Ohk Ohk I give up. It's already 2am here. I should sleep now. You too, close your laptop and go to sleep. Good night"
"Good night"

We soon got busy with Navi's shopping. She was going to do some shopping here and then she will flew to Pune then to Alibagh.. where her wedding was going to be held.

On the day, when she was going to Pune, we were all ready to drop her to the airport. We three were waiting downstairs in her hostel. When she came with her luggage.

"Oh shit!! Arushi, I forget to bring my hand bag. It's there on the table only. This is the key, please go upstairs and bring it." Navi said.

I looked towards Rakhi and Manisha and they started looking here and there, ignoring me. I understood they won't go in place of me.

"Ohk" I took the keys and was about to leave when Manisha suddenly stopped me.

"Give us your phone, it might get dropped in between." She said.

"Ohk then" I handed my phone to her and ran upstairs.

Navi took my phone and called Chanyeol...
