As soon as I hung up, I went off to sleep…
At 08:45 hours, I could hear my mom talking to dad… and I could hear Ashni turning the pages of her book…
Everyone had woken up except me…
I forced myself to wake up and checked my cellphone…
“3 UNREAD MESSAGES”
“OPEN”
“MONISH”
“MONISH”
“MONISH”
All the 3 messages were from him…
“Hey S.G. Sleep well… VGM”
02:31:05 AM
“Rimsha… atleast replyyyyy…”
02:33:45 AM
“Still sleeping Rimshaaaa???”
08:23:32 AM
“Sorry M.D.S… I went off to sleep as soon as I hung up… sho sorry… VGM… What you doin?”
I typed and hit “SEND”….
“Hey RIM… lying down… what about you?” His message read..
I loved that instant reply of his!!
“Same… Were you waiting for my text or what!!he he…”
“Yeah exactly… You guessed it right.. I miss you…”
“I miss you too Monish… Chal message you later… Mom’ll get angry “ I wanted to talk to him, but I had to ignore that wish…
I freshened up and asked dad whether he knew Dr. Dhaval Shah from Amdavad…
When I asked dad about it, dad looked at mom for a few minutes and smiled…
I could not understand what it was all about, and looked at him with puzzled expressions…
“Yes of course… Why are you asking? How do you know him?”
“Ummmmmm… I know his son…” I couldn’t help blushing when I said that…
“AHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA…” Even my dad started teasing me ….
Mom and Ashni were giving me strange looks …
I tried to change the topic…
“Ashni, when do you want to start studying??”
“After lunch”
*************************************
“Rimsha, how do you want to go back to Nadiad…? I shall talk to your dean sir… You can stay back here for 2-3 days…” Dad questioned me…
“Didi… please stay back…Plijjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj… I requesht [ Read : request] youuu…” Ashni persuaded me to stay back home…
I wanted to meet Monish, but I had to teach Ashu too…
“Ashni… I shall come back home next weekend… Dad.. I will go back tomorrow morning by the first bus…
Will reach college a bit late”
Dad nodded and Ashni frowned at me…
I was too selfish….
I felt bad ‘cause I put Monish as my priority…
I wanted to change my mind, but I somehow could not convince myself to meet Monish after 2-3 days…
I was a bad sister!!
