It
was the 5th Day in the row …bugging Sanskar calling him and letting
him guess why a person is bothering him .By now his questions were becoming a
little different ..when ever he picked he never said hello he said “You don’t really
have any work , why are you calling me?” .Sometimes it went like “Such a
stubborn person you are can’t you talk ”.
Or he used to say “Why on the earth
are you wasting your money calling me ? ”
Other times he used to say “I am
busy right now sir/ madam .. call me after 1 hour I will entertain you”. And
once he said “ I charge only 5$ for an hour you can take me home baby or
anywhere you want” I remember couldn’t control my laugh and I dropped the call.
This phone call game was becoming fun day by day.
However I dint knew it was going to
end this way . I was having lunch, it was Saturday and my phone Rang , I forgot
it at the kitchen table.
Mom said “I am done with my lunch should I get
it for you” I said “Sure Ma” before mom could reach the ringtone stopped. However
mom handed me my phone. As soon as I got it, there were 3 missed calls from
Sanskar and It started ringing again Damn
it was Sanskar calling
Mom looked at me as I was not
lifting it, I never picked up the call
when Sanskar called me back I wondered what would I say to my mom so I just
disconnected.
Mom asked “who was it, your phone
was ringing from long time you left it in kitchen” I said “some advertisement”
and soon Sanskar called again as I completed my lunch this time as I was not looking
at my phone mom gave me suspicious look and I felt a little panic and just
picked it to spare myself from her question. And walked towards my room .
Sanskar said “So finally you picked,
How long you want to play Shreya ?” I was dumbstruck hearing my name. he
continued “Shreya you can talk at least, give some sign, a hint that it’s you
and not any of your parent who picked the call so that I can proceed”
I gulped and said “Hi..” it was long
Hi though I heard him laughing. There was silence for few seconds then
he said “where are you?”
I said “Home”
He said “Busy with something”
I said “No”
He said “do you want to talk”
I said “Hmm” after pausing a bit
He said “Can you stop giving single
word for every question”
I said “ya”
He laughed again, “You are very
funny shreya, I hope there’s no one with you”
I said “No ” This time even I was
smiling.
He said “Can I see you, Is it
possible for you ? and please elaborate your yes or no ?”
I said “Yes but not today, day after
tomorrow we can.”
He said “Okay I will pick you up let
me know when and where”
I said “Are you angry”
He said “Angry for ?”
I said “for my behavior, I just dint
understand what to say so I kept calling and am sorry”
He said “Really are you sorry , I
thought you are enjoying bugging me , lets meet I want to talk ………directly ..face
to face ”
I said “Okay 1:30 Monday at my office gate num 3”
He said “done see you then”.and the
call was over.
It was like hundreds of butterflies
in my stomach I was so confused at the same time wondering how he figured out
that it was my number. What will I tell him….I was weird I was lost in my
thoughts for hours thinking about meeting him how would I answer him, what all
I want to talk and the biggest one what should I wear on Monday !!!!
