1257 Words
At home, Yajna came with her pillow and blanket and asked Mitra "Let me sleep with you today. I am so annoyed to sleep alone"
Mitra gave space in her bed for her sister to sleep asked "Are you disturbed by something?"
Yajna asked "I think so, What do you think if a guy suddenly stopped talking to you without a reason?"
Mitra asked "A guy stopped talking to you"
Yajna said "Mmm.. he usually mocks me every single time. Now he is not even say hi to me"
Mitra asked "Do you like him?"
Yajna said "No..he is my friend I guess"
Mitra asked "You guess? If you are thinking about him when you are home and felt sad for not talking to him. Definitely you miss him right now."
Yajna scratched her head and said slowly "You are right. I kinda of miss him"
Mitra said "Even if you don't like him. Somehow he became very special to you"
Yajna said "Maybe…"
Mitra said "This is the first time you are talking about some guy to me. Tell me more about him."
Yajna said "About him… He is unpredictable. He does things like playboy but he is decent" and thinks of "Kissing her at first time and rejecting her friend when she insults me"
Yajna continued "He flirts with the girls and also you feel secured in his arms. You feel annoyed by him, still you feel like a funniest person in the class. He is not as handsome as Dean Winchester, still you find him more handsome than Dean Winchester at least to me. I don't want to stay next to him but still I couldn't stop myself from following him. I don't want…." Yajna absently got so excited.
Mitra said "Wait a minute. You like him?"
Yajna said "No...I don't like him"
Mitra said "Don't lie to me, then why do you get so excited when you talk about him? I am damn sure you like him. "
Yajna pulled the blanket over her head and said "I am sleepy" and thought "Why am I excited when I talk about him?"
Mitra pulled up the blanket from Yajna "You can't stop like that in the middle of the conversation. "
"Mitra, What do you want?"
"I want to see the picture of the person who disturbed my sister sleep"
"He didn't disturb my sleep"
"Then, why are you here with me? Talking about him?"
Yajna said "I don't know but I don't like him"
Mitra said "You are convincing yourself that you don't like him. Actually you like him more than anyone in this world. I have never seen you talks about someone so much"
Yajna pulled her blanket and smiled and blushed under her blanket and thought "You are right. I am convincing myself not to like him. When Sravanthi says she likes him, he stops talking to her. I am afraid he will stop talk to me when he comes to know I like Nikhil"
Mitra said "Don't cover yourself under a blanket. Now tell me why he stopped talking to you?"
Yajna took her blanket out and said "I really don't know. He said I am not following him on f*******:. So, I gave Friend request. He didn't accept my request and stopped talking to me"
Mitra said "Give me his number, Let me chat with him"
Yajna said "Why do you want to chat with him?"
Mitra said "Trust me, I will not tell him about me or you. I will talk to him as unknown person"
Yajna shared his number with Mitra. Mitra saved his contact and started text him in WhatsApp
Mitra said "True, he looks handsome"
Yajna said "Don't drool over him"
Mitra said "Wow, I can smell jealousy from my sister"
Yajna called her name "Mitra…"
Mitra said "Your jealousy is acting up…Okay I am gonna text him 'Hi' "
Yajna asked "Only Hi.."
Mitra said "First let me get reply to the text"
Nikhil asked Ankur "Why didn't Yajna text me anything? Do you think she will miss me?"
Ankur said "I think you miss her a lot"
Nikhil said "I think so, It's really good to mock her."
Ankur said "Why did you avoid her, when she tried to speak to you?"
Nikhil said "she praised someone over me"
Ankur asked "Accept it you are Jealous"
Nikhil looked at his face in the mirror and said "Whatever, Do you really think Aravind is more handsome than me?"
Ankur stand beside Nikhil in front of mirror and said "Truth is I am looking better than both of you"
Nikhil and Ankur laughed. Nikhil asked "Did I go overboard with Yajna?"
Ankur nods his head. Nikhil said "Fine, I will text her"
Nikhil took his phone and find "Hi.." message from unknown number and said to Ankur "I got Hi message from unknown number"
Ankur asked "Are you going to reply to her?"
Nikhil said to Ankur "she is pretty in the w******p Profile picture. What should I do?"
Ankur said "Do you know her?"
Nikhil said "I have never seen her before. I will just text her back Hi"
After waiting for half an hour. Yajna said "I don't think He will text you. "
Whatsapp notification from Nikhil "Hi" and Mitra said "Boys are boys"
Mitra: I thought you forget me babe
Yajna asked "Why are you calling him babe?"
Mitra said "Let me prank him a little. If he is flirting with me. You should forget him and he is not suitable for you."
Yajna asked "What if he speaks to you friendly? Can I continue to speak with him?"
Mitra nods her head.
Nikhil: I am sorry you are mistaken of someone else
Yajna said in excitement "See, it was a friendly message right"
Mitra said "Yes, Can you be quiet? You'll wake up our parents next door"
Mitra: I am Mitra. We studied in the same college.
Nikhil: Is it so? Then what's my name?
Ankur asked "What's going on?"
Nikhil said "Someone is pranking me. I asked for my name. If the person really knows me or not"
Mitra asked Yajna "What's his name?"
Yajna said "Nikhil Setiya"
Mitra: Nikhil Setiya
Nikhil said Ankur "People who knows me are doing this prank"
Ankur asked "What are you gonna do?"
Nikhil smiled "I am gonna play along"
Nikhil: Ohh Mitra. I just remember you. You proposed to me in our college and I rejected you.
Mitra: You are wrong, that's not me
Nikhil: You are the one who copied my test paper.
Mitra: Again wrong
Nikhil: Yes right, You flirted with me in college.
Mitra: Nikhil, I feel like crying you are insulting me.
Nikhil: Now tell me, who is next to you? From whom you got my number? Do you really know me?
Mitra: Bingo, you got me right. I got your number from my friend. You look handsome and intelligent. I want to know you more.
Yajna said "See, he didn't flirt with you. So, I can continue see him"
Mitra said "It's just beginning"
Nikhil: I have someone I like. Do you still want to chat with me?
Mitra said to Yajna "He likes someone. You should forget him" Yajna was upset
Mitra: It has nothing to do with me. We can be friends
Nikhil: I am sorry. You are wasting your time.
Nikhil texted and blocked her. Mitra said in frustration "Did he just block me?"
Yajna smiled at her. Mitra said "Don't smile. He likes someone"
