love is the last option✓

How can he be so heartless?

My alarm clock started buzzing.I looked for it blindly and pressed the mute button.I started drowning in pool of blissful sleep again.However to my dismay,my cellphone started ringing this time. I groaned and picked it up without even looking at the caller ID.

"Hmmmm. ..."I said groggily. "Wake up sunshine.....it's Sunday. ."someone yelled from the other end.

"Just shut up and let me sleep."I interrupted the caller and hung up.I tried sleeping again.Soon the irritating sound of beep returned. I ignored it.After few minutes,I heard someone's footsteps in my room.I thought it's Veena Aunty who has come to wake me up.I was rambling in my sleep."It's Sunday. I wanna sleep more Aunty.

"Get up Miss Tantrum."I heard her reply. But wait.She doesn't call me that."Aunty, you know there is someone who calls me the same.You sound just like him.but How did you know it?"I asked in my heavy voice while my eyes were still closed due to uncontrollable sleep.

"Cause I am that someone,you fool."I heard those words and my eyes flung open that very instant. I thought I was dreaming.But soon I heard his voice again"whoa! . ..you are worse than Kumbhkaran."I flinched from my place as the voice filled my room.I looked around and saw him relaxing in one of the chair near the bed.

"What are you doing here?"I yelled at him.To my surprise those words came out louder than I had thought.

"Shush...your Uncle and Aunty will kill me if they find out. Especially your dumb brother."he said placing his hand on my mouth.But it was too late.I heard a knock at my door. "Nia,are you alright?why did you scream?"asked Mayank from the other side of door.I jerked away Aaruj's hand and managed to sound as normal as I could"yeah I am fine.I am talking to my friend on phone. She just arrived in Mumbai." He replied chuckling"Lower down your volume a bit or your poor friend will turn deaf permanently."Then I heard his footsteps and soon the sound became faint. After making sure he was gone, I looked at the person who was staring at my Tshirt now.Then a small smile formed on his lips."Are you wearing power puff girls T-shirt?"

"Yes...I am.Arent they all adorable.Though bubbles is my favourite."I remarked fondly.

"I liked Mo jo jojo.He was the best villain ever."Aaruj replied with the same excitement. "No wonder he is your favourite. Your evil actions justify your fondness for him."I said in a teasing manner. What are you doing dumbo? He is in your room while you are looking like a mess. And you are discussing your favourite cartoon with him.

"wait!why am I even explaining this to you.What are you doing in my house?In fact in my room?"I tried to give him one of my hardest glare."I told you I would make you come with me if you don't listen."He replied smirking.

"Challenge wasn't about entering the house like a thief and how can you come to my room like this?"I questioned as I realised I was looking like a mess with my dishelved hair and still sleepy eyes and not to forget the drool at the side of my mouth. Oh dear lord! Please let it be a dream...please let it be a dream....I think God is offline.I don't see two Blue ticks on my prayer.....nah!I guess he has blocked me since I always keep irritating him with my demands. I felt like the most disgusting thing on planet looking at myself again.Then I looked at his angelic face, off course I forgot to mention the smirk on it. Will you stop staring at him stalker? And ask him how does he know your room.

"How did you know my room?"I asked realising I didn't tell him anything about my house or my room.

"Well, it was smooth as butter.This was the only room with pink curtains and pink interior. Plus those dozens of windchimes in your balcony confirmed it."he said giving me a side grin.When I stared at him with my opened mouth,he continued talking"I have seen that episode of some stupid daily soap along with Dadi ma.Where the male lead surprises his girl by hanging dozens of windchimes in her balcony. How lame is that! !!"he said while making a disgusted face.

How can he be so heartless? I had cried watching that magical scene. "You heartless boy!she was about to die and she loved windchimes. He did it for her happiness. You need to love someone to understand these kinda things."I spoke in anger. He had already ruined my sleep and now he was mocking one of my favourite shows.To be honest I didn't really had dozens of wind chimes in my balcony here.There were just two or three.If he had seen my room's balcony,back in Pune he would have mocked them too.

"Whatever! Get ready.We are getting late."he ordered me while plopping down on the bed in front of me. I shot him a disbelieving look and said"If you want me to get ready.You need to wait outside of my house. I am not gonna get ready with you being in the room." He gave me one of his irrated look and mumbled fine and soon made his way out through the balcony.It wasn't that high from ground.I just prayed that no one sees him while climbing down the balcony.

I went into the bathroom to get ready.Once I took the shower, I headed to my wardrobe and was rummaging through the clothes now. I couldn't decide on what to wear.I hadn't even asked him where were we going.I wouldn't even have agreed to this plan if Sasha hadn't cancelled hers yesterday.She had found some good book to study from our library.For which I was very thankful to god since he saved me from a big trouble.

I had almost forgotten about our dayout till he showed up in my room.I decided to wear the most comfortable apparel in the world, i.e.denims and green polo t-shirt

along with the my sneakers. I hope we don't go to some fancy place.I would sure make fool of us.But how can I decide something good when he is calling me since the time he got down the balcony.He is doing it to annoy me and also to make me get ready faster.

I had a final look in the mirror when I got ready.There was a stupid smile plastered on my face.I tried to look normal but being alone with him for next few hours made me nervous. What if I do or say something stupid?what if he thinks I am so boring, which I am already.

I was brought back from my trance when he called me again.I picked up the call this time and he started cribbing"what is taking you so long?I am getting tan in the sun." He was definitely lying about the tanning part since it was still a bit dark Though it was 7.30am.Winter was just around the corner and days were small and nights were still long or seemed long.

Apparently, everyone was up in the house. Uncle and Mayank were watching an early cricket match.Aunty as usual was busy in kitchen making breakfast. I greeted all of them.They greeted me back.I bid adieu since I was heading out.When I was about to reach the door Mayank questioned me"Are you meeting your friend who arrived in Mumbai today?"I just nodded to it.Great!now I am lying to my own people. "Don't scream in her ear again.I am already feeling bad for her." He said in a mocked serious tone.I stuck out my tounge at him and finally left the house.

Aaruj had parked his bike somewhere away from the house.He was leaning on his bike when I neared him.He smiled at me and suddenly I yawned instead of smiling back.He gazed at my nose and laughed heartily. I covered my red nose in embarrassment. "It's all your fault that I am yawning continuesly. I never wake up before 10am on Sundays. You better make our hangout worth my sacrifice."I warned him while sitting on the bike To my surprise he was driving the bike at normal speed today. Weird.

And mine favourite is poor Candice. ), kid vs cat, and oggy and the cockroches (p. s..you need to watch it in hindi. ...The dubbing is freaking hilarious. ) and not to forget Shinchan the little flirt.My friend is so fond of him that his mom had to lock the TV channel literally.lol what about you guys?
