The day after that was usual. Well, it was what it looked like. Sameera tried to remain her usual cheerful, idiot self and was acting as if she didn't lash out on Shrishti. But according to both Sameera and Shrithik she was not that harsh.
She felt guilt seeping in her veins when she found that Shrishti didn't come today. But she still tried to remain the same.
When she reached her home at about 5pm she saw that Shrithik was sitting in the balcony enjoying the rain. She smiled.
At least someone was there who was actually not a least bit affected by yesterday's drama.
She groaned
"I really overreacted yesterday."
He didn't see her coming nor heard her as his earphones were plugged in. Suddenly a relatively big hand for a female came into his view, holding a cup of steaming hot chocolate.
He looked up to find Sameera smiling at him. He smiled back and took the cup. Taking his earphones out he said
"Hey Sweetheart. How was your day?"
She sighed
"Bad. Everybody just acts. There is not a single real person in this world."
He took a sip of his hot chocolate.
"That's true. I assume everybody was trying to act as nothing happened, including you?"
"Yeah."
"It's not a new thing sweetheart. Everybody just acts on a daily basis. For example your friend Maaya, she acts as a cool, sarcastic girl who relates to every backbencher meme. Raj, he acts all intimidating and mean. Shivam, he acts as an idiot. Pihu, she acts as a sweet, sunshine girl. Shrishti, she- well you know about the goody two shoes. And you-"
"I act as the brave, crazy troublemaker and you, you act as the arrogant, egotistical jerk who is not a least bit affected by anything. But I have to say, you are quite of an observer."
They both looked deeply in each other's eyes. He broke the eye contact.
"I really not appreciate you thinking that way,-"
"You cannot expect me to believe that facade you put on. Sometimes. Everybody gets affected by everything. Some just show it openly and some just hide it. Some people let it get to them, and some not. You and I both come in same category. Don't feel shy."
She teased at the end.
"I don't really feel that you act as crazy. You are crazy sweetheart!"
"That's not true!"
"Yes. It is."
"Oh shut up. You are saying as you don't believe that rain water is actually tears of a queen."
"Because they are!"
"Oh come on, old man. Tears are salt water. And rain water is distilled. How can you even believe that?"
"Maybe that queen had different tears."
She looked at him and flicked his head.
"That's funny."
"What? Did you believe that anybody could get Invisible? Conduction of Invisibility, did you believe that before you met me?"
