22. Pooja falling for Sid
Sid excused from us and went somewhere around half an hour ago.
Finally....
After this Rollercoaster day, it’s time to go home.
So Pooja and I packed our stuff and started to move towards reception to swipe our cards and mark our attendance.
After marking attendance, we ushered towards the lift.
As usual she suggested going down by lift and I as always insisted to use stairs.
After our this small argument session we both busted out in laughter.
I literally dragged her towards the stairs while saying,
“Kha –Khake moti ho gyi hai, thoda physical workout bhi kiya kar ..Moti chal jaldi yaar”
(You become fat due to eating and eating, you should do little physical workout…. move fast you fatty ).
Soon we climbed down all the way to the ground floor by stairs and we started walking towards metro station.
We were walking down the street and doing our chit-chat as usual.
“Noor" she called me.
"Hmm" I replied to her by just doing that indicating, I am listening.
And she continued,
"Sid is so handsome and..... he is so....so....So charming."
"Oh My God…Oh My God…Noor...his eyes…. his smile….. his voice …God…his everything is so ..so magnetic….."
"And his aura …. His Aura is something different ..... something that I have never experienced.” Pooja exclaimed all in a dreamy way.
“What??" I stopped and eyed her in shock
"What rubbish are you talking?” I snapped back at her but she was still carrying that dreamy look on her face.
‘Oh no’
‘She started all of this again’
‘I knew that…I....I just knew that"
"I knew this is going to happen’
‘The way she was looking towards Sid today in office….Oh she is so so….So i***t’
‘Argh’
(POINT TO BE NOTED:
Whenever she looks at any... little…. I repeat ANY LITTLE GOOD LOOKING GUY, …
her stupid and nonsense self took over her mind ….and she starts speaking gibberish.... and.... behaves like a pigheaded idiot.)
I thought that and slapped my head with my own hand.
“Oh I really like him” she chirped.
“What????....."
"Are you MAD or something?” I snapped again.
“You know when I saw him in the office today, first my heart skipped a beat and then it started drumming so hard that I thought it will pop out of my chest anytime soon. And my mind alarmed me too with:-
‘Pooja, he is your one and only Prince Charming’. Ohhh….I felt so excited” She again said with dreamy eyes.
“Oh Madam, come out of your La La Land” I said j*********f her arms with my both hands.
Finally she looked toward me and said, “Noor,...Tell me.... You are my best friend...Right?”
“Yaaa” I said dragging my reply as I am unsure of what is coming from my stupid friend NOW.
Because, let me tell you:-
(POINT TO BE NOTED:
Whenever she says this phrase
‘NOOR, YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND…RIGHT?’
She always demands some stupid of stupid favors from me.)
'So be ready' I told that to my mind.
“Please, help me in this.” She said in a requesting manner.
“Help??….what help??” I asked back thinking of the possibilities.
“Please help me so that Sid will like me too….Please.” she almost pleaded.
‘See…I knew this’
“What??..."
"Are you out of your mind?” I snapped on her
“No…not at all.” She said
"What no??" I Snapped on her again.
"No means ....I am not at all out of my mind." She replied to me.
“Listen Pooja… he is a total flirt.” I paused for a while and continued looking in her eyes
“And please....Don’t fall for his looks and Charm.” I said with very serious expression
“He is doing everything on purpose so as to make every..y..y.yy.…Aaoooo” I stopped what I was saying to Pooja as a car suddenly stopped just near us with a loud screeching sound followed by a loud honk making us jump in shock.
The way that car stopped just near us, it gave us a fearful thought that we were going to be hit by that car.
Anger filled my mind but as I noticed it was the same Grey Mercedes of Sid that I saw this morning only, so I controlled my anger and calmed myself. Because I knew who was inside the car.
But Pooja got irated a lot due to this sudden incident that was about to happen.
"You Moron, You Son of b***h" she yelled moving towards the car, raising her sleeves.
She was hell angry, but I stopped her by pulling back her arm from doing so.
"Stop Pooja stop, what are you doing?" I asked her pulling back.
She turned around on the sudden pull by me and shoot me a deadly glare.
She snapped on me,
"What the hell?...Why are you stopping me Noor? .....Leave me."
"Let me teach this bastard a lesson." She yelled again.
She looked totally pissed off.
'My God .....This girl and her mood swings'
‘She is too much.’
'Just two minutes ago, she was day dreaming about Sid ….. And ….now she is all ready to rant on that person…. And teach him a good lesson ….for rash driving.'
'Sare Jhalle, Mere palle'
(This is famous saying in Punjabi that means 'All crazy people.... are in my life only)
"Leave me Noor....Leave me....I going to kick his ass so bad that ….that he will remember me every morning...I swear."
She said trying to free herself from my grip.
This is it.....
On hearing her claim, I can't control myself anymore
So....
I busted out in laughter.
My mind started imagining the scenario....
One side she wanted to jump in his arms ....and do that lovey dovey things with him..... and on the other side.....she unknowingly want to shove her foot up in his ass.
Oh God....
Hahahaha
By imagining the scenario, I started laughing even harder.
If I would have been in some other situation and not trying to stop my suddenly turned Beast friend, I would have been rolling on the floor laughing.
I laughed so hard that my cheeks started to pain now.
Pooja was looking at me befuddled as if I have grown into two heads.
"Why are you laughing like this?" She asked me.
By the time Sid also came out of his car.
He was also looking at me in shock.
I know he must also be thinking the same as Pooja that, 'Why I was laughing so hard?'
By looking at their shocked state, I somehow tried to control myself to not to laugh anymore.
I glanced at Pooja to see her reaction as…. now only….did she noticed that it was Sid in that car.
Oh it was hilarious!
Her eyes widened in shock, she raised her hand and pointed a finger towards Sid and then towards his car and then again towards Sid.
She opened her mouth to say something but closed it like a fish.
She then blinked her eyes twice then again widened them as realization hit her.
Her eyes looked like they will pop out of their socket anytime soon.
She made an ‘O’ shaped mouth and slapped her hand on her mouth.
She shook her head and turned around to avoid Sid’s gaze.
Sid saw her every action and he got confused.
Then he looked towards me and leaned closer to my ear and asked, "Hey Rabnoor, what happened to her all of the sudden?"
"Is she alright? "
"I mean she is behaving strange." He whispered in a low voice so that Pooja could not hear him.
"Just leave her Sid ... She is just like that only...." I shrugged.
I turned toward Pooja and patted her shoulder whose back is facing us.
I leaned closer to her ear and whispered, “It’s okay dear….it happens.”
And I rubbed her both arms to comfort her. She nodded her head lightly.
I again whispered to her, “You Okay?” I asked her and she again nodded to assured me and I hugged her from back as I was still standing behind her.
And after hugging and comforting her for a while I turned to face Sid who was watching us quietly standing at a distance.
"Anyways, what are you doing here? And why you stopped your car like that? You know we got scared."
I inquired him as I was unsure that why he all of the sudden stopped his car near us like that.
“Well it didn’t look like you got scared. Because I saw you laughing earlier” He laughed and I rolled my eyes on his comment.
"Sid..." I said in a warning tone.
“Actually, I saw you both girls walking down the street, so I thought to let me offer you guys lift to your place.” He explained.
“Oh no no….no need to bother yourself.” I refused straight away.
But listening his offer of giving us lift, Pooja turned immediately and said “Oh yes yes” She said looking super excited.
