Beep!

Beep!

My phone was continuously ringing with the alarm and to my best interest I didn't had the energy to snooze it again. But then, it again beeped. So, I finally got off my bed and turned off the alarm. I lazily did my morning routine as I was not in the energetic mood, for obvious reason.

As I came out of bathroom, mom entered my room. She was looking happy and cheerful.

"Good morning, bubble" she said lovingly. Well this type of treatment is very rare with me.

"Good morning, aai" I said in my lazy tone. She sighed heavily after sensing my energy.

"Offo, Preshtha cheerup. You know na, today we are going to have your friend for dinner" she said smiling at me whereas I was having my eyes popped out. Did this day come so fast? I nodded in return to give her assurance.

"Tell him to come at eight tonight" she continued, "and, what shall I prepare for dinner. I literally don't have any idea"

This time, I sighed, because whatever she cooks. The dish is already amazing, even if its putting jam on the bread it will taste ten times better.

"Whatever suits you best aai " I said

"Oh my god Preshtha, I'm so confused" she had a stressed expression. This concerned me as my aai was stressed  "okay hear me out, we will order some kebabs. I'll make brownies as dessert and then you can make chicken curry and the amazing pulao which you always make" I said as I left out a heavy breathe, because I was talking fastly.

Aai on the other hand was thinking for few moments and then she bloomed a toothy smile to me.

"Masta, dinner menu aahe (the dinner menu is nice" she said flashing a smile to me. She turned around to do her chores but then, she said, "Preshtha come soon in the kitchen and make those brownies soon"

I nodded in an instant, "hoo, yete me" (yes, I'm coming)  I said as I combed my hair.

When I entered kitchen, aai was arranging everyone's lunch. Yes you heard right, lunch. I binge watched netflix the whole time and obviously I didn't had the energy to go to college after getting humiliated. Yes, I know I have to face that so called Kiara pandey but not right now. I'm not in the right mental state after how she bullied me and to be honest, I feel a little scared to call Rudra at home. What if she does anything to me?

I sighed and headed towards the refrigerator to take out the ingredients which I will be needing for making brownies. As I was, I was slicing the butter in big cubes, mom said, "umm, preshtha make the brownies for you Rudra and Kartik only" I raised an eyebrow to question her taking that as signal she explained, "your dad and me both are diabetic remember?"

I slapped myself mentally for not remembering that my parents are diabetic. I nodded at her and removed a small quantity of butter from the bowl.

I set the temperature and timer in the oven. Mom was busy making the chicken curry, so it is better to not disturb her. I was tiptoeing when mom said, "did you informed Rudra about today's timing" I bit my tongue for my irresponsibility and shook my head in response. Aai slapped her forehead, "kay kerner mi tuzya sobat?" (What am I going to do with you)

I giggled a little and so did she, "ok go now, tell Rudra to come at eight" I nodded and head towards my bedroom to text Rudra but to my suprise I don't even have his number.

I placed my hand on hip and started scrolling through Instagram to find Rudra's Id. It was a public id which had photos of himself and a girl, the girls face was hidden. My curiosity growed so I just scrolled down, and the girl was Kiara pandeyFuck are they dating for real? When I saw the date on when it was posted it was already two years ago. Whatever the time it has been posted I should definitely stay away from him.

Why is he coming today even? I don't want to invite him today, but I have to. I took up my courage and texted him for his attendance for today's dinner. He sent me thumbs up. Not even a okay but a fu*king thumbs up. Wow.

I mean he is so nice to me everytime and while texting he is giving me off cold vibes. Wow. Unbelievable.

Cool down Preshtha

You yourself said, you don't want him here so why are you getting affected by the thumps up he send, my subconscious knocked me

To get out of my thoughts, I decide to take a nap but looks like I'll not be able to. Kartik has already entered my room to irritate me. He was tickling me continuously for god knows why?

"Kartik yaar, jana mala zopu de" (Kartik go yaar, lemme sleep) I said lazily

"Nahi, bubble. Tu mala sangitla nahi tuza boyfriend aahe" (no, bubble. You didn't told me that you had a boyfriend) he said teasingly.

"Really, even I didn't know I had a boyfriend" I said as I got up and tied my hair into a ponytail

"Oh trust me, bubble. Rudra likes you" he said winking at me.

I hit him with a pillow, "kahi pan nako bolu (don't say anything which isn't true)"

"Bubble really. I mean the way he talks to you is just like that boy has fallen head over heels for you" he said as he was watching netflix on my lappy.

"Whatever Kartik, it's barely even ten days I've talked to him and you are saying he is in love with me" I said pointing a finger towards me.

"That's just how I feel and I guess you two are going to be a thing in future" he said and my eyes popped  out of the socket. I mean my brother, the whole life protected me from not having boyfriends is now shipping me with someone.

"Are you good? Kartik" I asked him with concern flourishing on my face

"Yeah, what would happen to me" he said casually.

"It's because you are shipping me with someone else" I said, "that's because he's a good guy preshtha" he replied me.

By sending me a thumbs up emoji.

"Whatever " I said and walked out of my room & headed towards living room to get my nap.
