55 Competition of Heart

A few days passed and I lost a competition.

Curious right

Well I was planning on who can stay without chatting with the other. I mean who will be starting the conversation between me and Sky. The one who can live without the other wins.

I didn't contact and he was online but not chatting with me. Finally I couldn't. I just couldn't stay without talking with him. I.. mean I just needed an excuse. Just then God did an apt favour. I remember he told me to inform him about any college or university related online news.

College sent an email to fill up our details for the certificate updates throughout the year.

I informed Sky. Sky asked me , " Did you fill up? "

I replied, "Umm well I didn't read the information. I am outside my home filling up the form for the citizenship card with my dad. After this trouble goes I will surely fill up! "

He replied, " I see. "

Actually I have gone to my dad's residential area away from my place. And I intentionally told him about the citizenship matter. I remember clearly he once hinted to me that he wanted to fill that up but the specific time period was not mentioned back then.

I reached home and read the insights. I was confused regarding the zip upload. I asked him via message.

He took the bait!

He told me, " Yeah you just follow the website and check the registered mobile. "

But I couldn't find the otp for that document.

He again regained the force and said, " Just be calm and remember "

I tried hard but my memory was too dumb to my utter surprise later which I found out. I was rebuking him. I remember clearly it was my own mobile. But he somehow hinted at my mom's. His knowledge about my situation is still a mystery.

I said, " My citizenship was approved. "

He replied, " Good "

He typed.

He replied, " What documents were required and how to do it? "

I knew it. I was just expecting this. More than half an hour to kill with him chatting. I was explaining to him in detail. And he was questioning and I was replying to him.

Well it took more than 30 minutes. And long talk to talk about informal chats in between.

Later Gray and Lacy shared a link to register without the zip. I sent that over to Sky.

Sky warned me but I didn't listen. Maybe I still couldn't trust people as such . He was telling me not to fill up. But I insisted and filled that up trusting Lacy more. Actually I was more surprised when I trusted Lacy over him and got busted towards the end. I couldn't help but trouble Sky. Everything was an utter mess.

I really messed that up. And advised Lacy not to fill up. Well she trusts me too. Sky was helping me with every inch. It was the first time that he was online for over 4 hours just to help me out. He was asking if anything went wrong or not. I couldn't help telling him the truth that my mom's phone had that registered.

He gave a laughing emoji and said, " I told you "

And secondly without that zip I submitted it to the college website and couldn't even edit it. Afterall it was google forms. And everything went wrong one after another.

He finally consoled me, " Don't worry Sunny, just wait for the day the college reopens and then you have to get to the college administrative building to sort things out. I am with you. Just be ok and chill. "

It's really comforting especially to get such words from the person you like. It's just like honey melting in one's mouth. But I don't know why thanks to our Maths Professor he invented a nickname for me and started using it even in charts right now. Before it was only during the practical classes when we both were alone together.

I replied, " I am really sorry for occupying so much of your time and I will sort things out just as you told me when the college reopens. "

He replied, " Sorry.... for this...And the main point is that you don't do anything right now. Let the college reopen and slowly and calmly claim over the work that you couldn't complete today. Just relax. ".

I replied, " Yeah... Sure".

Then the chat ended. Lacy called me to confirm about not doing that now. I replied no need. And the submission date is still far away. Don't do it in a hurry otherwise you will be in a worry just like me.

......

But the main point I lost to him. He stole my heart and even made me lose my independence. But I really don't feel grieved. Moreover he gave his other phone number to contact him whenever I needed it.

So it's alright in one way or the other

OR it isn't?
