If you don't have any works. Um.. why don't you come tomorrow? my mom asked me
Where? Ma? I asked. Continuing to eat my dinner.
To Mansingh's, she's your friend right? she doesn't even talk much to her mom!
you can be helpful! maybe with my accounts works and stuff? my mom said.
I can't take the offer at the first bite! so I continued to say no!
The next day morning:
Are you still not interested? my mom asked before leaving the house.
I gave an expression of thought and nodded yes!
Ok ma! just for you... I said and we drove to her home.
She had just woke up it seemed. Those sleepy red eyes and her messy hair still looked good.
My mom had an office room in the house, She left us to talk and she went in, to work.
Good morning!
Yup Good morning! why are you here?.. so early? She asked taking a sip into her coffee.
My mom just wants me to help... I said.
Her brother came out of the room, wiping his eyes.
Who is this Ria? he asked in a sleepy voice.
Um. He is my friend Rohan, Go brush your teeth, Ria said and he ran to the washroom.
"How old is he?"
13! she said.
She went to the room and never came back, It's been 2 hours, I was dead bored.
I decided to go in!
I knocked on the door!
Come in! Sit!
she said as she opened the door.
I sat in the corner of her bed! she was staring at me like I had stolen her food or something.
Don't stare at me like that! I said.
Then she got herself busy in her mobile! I had no idea what to do! I started playing a game in my mobile. And her brother started playing with me, soon she joined in too. After a few minutes of playing mobile ran out of the battery.
Ok. Let's play it on my mobile! ..install it! she said and pushed her mobile in my hands.
I installed and gave it in her hands for her to log in!
"Um..it says log in with Facebook!" she said and looked at me
Yeah! So? I asked with confusion.
I don't have one! she shrugged.
Omg! It's fucking 2014! you don't have a Facebook account?
Language! Rahul!
Rohan, go watch tv. she said in a strict voice.
Ok. Let me set you up an account! I created an FB account for her.
she must have been so bored! I said to myself.
(I still can't believe, no one would even believe if I said I was sitting on Ria's bed, next to her, Still, my heart says "this is all a dream, fucking wake up you dipshit".)
Let me take you some photos for your profile, I said.
Her every poses for every picture ate my heart by pieces, How can a girl be so cute in photos as well as in real! I astonished to myself
I used all my photography and editing skills on her. Can't believe, she's laughing and smiling with me. I took a break to go to the washroom, when I came back, all her search histories, told a name "Kailash" She looked sad again, I had no idea how to make her feel better again.
I am gonna get you some snacks, I said.
Wait! she said.
"You still don't wanna ask what happened?"
I kept quiet, I could feel her staring into my eyes, expecting me to say something.
What happened? That was all I asked, she started crying. I don't know what to do, I started searching for a water bottle.
I took her hands, Here, drink some water... I said.
Her hands were soft and cold like those wet flowers on a winter morning.
Do you know? Kailash 3rd year Ece? I have been seeing him for while, Maybe I acted a little fast I guess, I proposed him.(weeps)
You know what he said?
Listen Ria, You don't have to do this if you are not ready, I said holding her hands.
I never told this to anyone, but Rahul, I want you to know this, You are the first person with whom I've ever spoken a lot in my life, (sniffs)
I gave her a glass of water and asked her what did he say.
He said..( weeps) he said... I am a slut begging for male attention... am I Rahul?..(weeps)
she said and started crying slowly...
Did the asshole say that? I asked in a stern voice.
Yes! she shouted and leaned on me and started to cry louder.
I had no idea what should I do... I felt scared...My heart is pounding...I am pretty sure she could hear my heartbeats, as her head is buried to my chest.
I slowly wrapped my hands around her and rubbed her hair, For the record, I am really not using the chance! I felt she needed that. I felt her in my arms like a wounded puppy begging me to care. I felt sad for her.
Minutes later she was okay, I realized how lonely she would have been feeling all these days.
Sorry, I got a little emotional, She said.
Yeah that's okay!! I replied with a smile..
(yeah, It feels a little awkward to hug a girl who ignored you for months, plus, It was really weird how close we became in 2 days, even after having a strange history of friendship)
Thank you, Rahul! she said and took my hands.
(I still don't know if she's really starting to like me or just being broken enough to lean on any shoulder?)
I had no idea why she thought to tell that all to me...Does she want me to beat the shit out of his ass and make his face look like a fucking parotta? I asked myself or maybe she just wanted to share! the other part of me said!
I could have asked Siddharth or Shoaib if they were here! but now they wouldn't even believe if I said I was in her bedroom!
It's 5 pm. I was about to leave! By the time my mobile was fully charged. I turned it on on the way out to the house. Ria sent you a friend request! a Notification popped
I looked at her! She winked! and waved back at me! Bye, I said and we left the house!
