It's like we never happened

3. New Neighbour

Present

Mila POV

"Sid?" came out as an question but I know it's him

"Hey hi" he said casually piercing my heart, yet again

"Hello" I said controlling all my emotions. I couldn't breathe. Why did I forget my red lipstick today?

"How are you?"

"Hmm. Yeah! I guess OK?" it came out as a question as always. He chuckled "Still can't answer for that question" I cleared. He laughed again. "You tell me, how are you doing?"

"Great. It's a surprise you're still in Germany" he said

"What can I do? Germany needs me" I said with a smile. "Are you living nearby or you moved here?" I asked him

"You live here?" he asked me again in surprise

"Is there any disclaimer for this place which I didn't see yet?" I asked him

He chuckled. "I moved here. Not so long"

"Really?" I was excited but immediately next question came to my mind switching off all my dopamine "How's your girlfriend? You're relationship?" I asked

"Yep. She's in Scotland"

"OK" I don't want to interfere in his privacy anymore. "How's Gautham bro?" I changed the topic. "Is he married finally? Where is he living now?" The only topic that could never turn awkward between us

"Are you going anywhere?" he asked me

"No. I'm free" 'for you' i can never have guts to say that to him "I'm walking to home"

"Oh. He is in trouble now"

"Why? What happened?"

"He isn't married yet"

"Ok. Tell me what's the trouble now?"

He chuckled "Not getting married is trouble Mila. But that's not the trouble. He got engaged"

"Are you stupid? Why are you telling me good news like that?" I was pissed

"He got engaged to Deepika. There are still in on and off relationship. I'm still against it"

"I'm surprised, he is still not married but I'm not surprised with Deepika" i said

"I don't like her" he told strongly

"You don't need to like her. He's supposed to like her. It's their life. They have to decide. Moreover they are not kids. They are well grown adult. They can decide what they want in their life" as usual i supported Gautham's decision

"But sometimes, people inside relationship can't see what's wrong. I, as a friend, brother. I've to tell him"

"If it's a wrong, he will learn and stop it without any regret. And, interfering in others business is wrong. He must realise. We are not sure what's happening among them for 24 hrs. He is tolerating her for some strong reason which we don't know" I said

"That's the problem. He shouldn't be tolerating" he said

"Really?" He smiled

"We can never be in same plate right?" he asked me.

I laughed "Ok where are you now?" I asked him

"Lindenstrasse"

"Seriously?" He nodded his head "Even, I'm in Lindenstrasse" I said with joy "What's your flat number?"

"20"

"I'm 18 dude" I laughed at my fate.

"Then, I'll see you later" he said and went somewhere

He went.

Did I really talk to Sid? Was he really Sid? Am I hallucinating? I'm cloud nine. I wanna dance. I can't now in the middle of the road. I ran directly to my home.

"Abhi, chicken here. I'm going to my room" i said

I ran.

Closed the door.

Opened my laptop.

Played "BTS dynamite" in high volume

Started to dance

na-na-na, na-na, na-na, ayy

Light it up like dynamite

I saw him after years

I spoke with him

I spoke with him more than hi

He moved opposite to my home

He moved

I danced like no tomorrow

Abhishek opened the door "What happened?"

I never told him anything about Sid before to him. I don't want to

"Nothing. I'm just happy"

"I never seen you dancing in you bed like this before" he said

"Everything has first time. See. I left the leg piece in the counter. Make something nice today" I said with full of smile. I cannot stop smiling.

"Markus is coming today"

"OK dude. Now, give me some privacy" I said

He left the room. I started to dance again. The song ended.

'Did I miss something in our conversation?' I started to think

What did i miss?

His girlfriend is in Scotland

Deep rush of agony entered my heart piercing it

UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

"What happened?" Abhishek asked me again

I can't tell him

"Let's prepare for dinner. What does Markus like?" I asked him

"Are you in your period? Why is your mood swinging so badly today?"

"Nothing dude" I gave a fake smile "By the way, a new tamil guy moved opposite to our flat"

"Really? You should've told me first. Bring him for today's dinner"

"Do you want him for today's dinner?"

"Ofcourse. I'd happy to invite any tamil friends. Call him"

"I don't have his number"

"You told he moved opposite right? Go and invite him"

"OK. You wanted him. You're forcing me to bring him. I didn't change your mind. I'm going to his house and invite him for you. Afterall he is our new neighbour" I confirmed

"If somet-"

"Don't worry. It's your wish. I'll try. For you dude" I started to dress up

"Wait the cooking isn't over"
