“Hie Monishhhhh… How’re you???” I hit the ANSWER button and said out really loud…
“Oh thank God, you recognized me… I thought you must have deleted my number…” He said sarcastically…
“Do you really think so???”
“I am forced to…You never ever text/call…”
“I am sorry Dr. From now on I shall call you up… But the problem is I feel I may disturb you while you’re busy… and I may get annoying…”
“Fineeee.. I shall call you up whenever I get time… Alright now???”
“As you say Monish…Where are you by the way??”
“I have come to Saturn for a walk with my dog.. Thought of checking the network connectivity and making a call to you from here”
“Hahahaha… That wasn’t funny Monish… I know you’re fond of poor jokes.. But this was a bit too much…”
“Then why did you laugh, ma’am????”
It was really fun talking to that guy…
I wasn’t the type of person who would keep awake at night and talk to anyone, but I did not mind doing so for Monish…
“Okay okay… It was funny… Happy?”
“Yaaa very!!!! Thanksssss… How about meeting up tomorrow at Karnavati??? I’ve heard they serve very tasty dabeli and vada pav … In case you like such junk food…”
“I’m sorry Monish… But I’m at home…”
“Home ???? Whatttt???? Where???” Monish was shocked…
“I’m at Valsad…. My sister needed help with chemistry… I came home today evening…”
“WOWWW… You did not even bother to inform me???? You could have sent me a text message atleast if not call… I could have seen your text when I get free... "
“MY mistake Monishhhh… “
“Oh God Rimsha… you have made too many mistakes!!!! How many more to come???”
“Actually Monish I missed you…” I could not stop myself from saying that…
“LIARRRRR… Please don’t lie… If you would have missed me, you would have called…”
“Seriously Dr. I did… Will you be free on Monday???”
“Don’t know… I am free only on Sundays. We can meet on Monday if I am free”
“Done doctor… What else at your end?”
“Tired Rimsha… You sure you want to go for post graduation???? It is so very tiresome and stressful…”
“Let me start studying seriously first… Padhungi to kuch hoga na..”
“Hahaha.. Yes yes… you better start studying… Come for my tuitions…”
“Yeah... I would love to… That is a good excuse to meet you…”
“I don’t understand you, Rimsha… You are really weird… You never call me up or text me and still tell me that you want to meet me… WEIRD is the word…for you…”
“Yes… I’m WEIRD… And now you’ve to handle my weirdness… hai na???”
“Hehe… I don’t “have to” … I want to…”
“Awwww… so sweet of you…”
“Rimsha… kab soegi???”
