Sleeping like a pig

NYC, US, Morning 9 am:

At a spacious office, An extremely handsome man staring at his mobile phone anxiously. after some time he got a message 'Don't worry, this play will end soon.'

A faint smile appeared on his elegant face. He thought to himself 'He doesn't deserve you Piyali'

After some time there is a knock on the door. "Come in".

A tall slim beautiful lady came with a handsome man. They greeted him. The man took the seat nearby couch.

"This is the file you asked for Mr. Mehra." The lady passed the file and waiting for the next instruction. He ordered coffee and gestured to leave.

He had a look on file. After the arrival of coffee, he sat in front of that man.

"So Naman Mehra, are you not going to India? at least you should have tried to get her attention. You had never proposed to her. How can she know about her feelings? Indian girls are shy so she might be waiting for your action." The man remarked. They seem good friends.

"No, Danny she is not like other girl. What do you think if she is no different than other girls I would have been so attracted to her." Then he stood up from the couch elegantly and turned to floor to ceiling window. He bitterly smiled.

"And about my damn feelings, she knew. Whatever I understood if she knew my feelings and still not giving any sign to proceed then I am not in her heart. She only respects me as her mentor and I knew this." Naman replied.

"Then what'll you do? She's going to marry. Obviously, she will ignore you. After the wedding, you'll not have any chance bro."

"If she wants to be with him, with her personality she'll get him. But her priority is not marriage. That's why I am relaxed. I know she'll leave him soon."

'I can't force her to like me. I'll appear in her sight when she needs me the most. That time she'll be mine.' He thought to himself.

India:

In the hotel room, past midnight:

Risabh is not able to sleep. After the performance, he couldn't get a chance to talk with Piyali. He is feeling anxious. Then he got up from bed called Mann who is staying next to his room. A half sleepy voice rang through the phone.

"Hello, Ris? What's your problem bro, you are calling me every fifteen minutes. I'm not able to take nap, man."

"First don't call me with that name." Risabh's hateful voice sounded.

Mann awakened by his voice. Then he made a mistake in a sleepy state.

"Ok sorry, bro. but why don't you sleep? Tomorrow is your big day man. You should look best on your wedding day. so take a power nap."

"I am not able to sleep. I want to talk with her. She never asked me a question. I don't know what she is thinking about the whole situation."

"Then a make a call, have a good conversation. I am sure she is also in the same state as you." Mann stated.

"Yes, I have to face her. I'll make everything clear." Risabh replied and ended the call.

At that time, Piyali is sleeping soundly on her bed. Sneha and Shreya both are really worried about her and not able to sleep.

"How can she sleep after everything that happened?" Sneha asked looking at the sleeping girl.

Shreya smilingly replied "You know her, right. When she is in extreme tension, couldn't handle the pressure or think of any solution then she will sleep like a pig."

They laughed helplessly looking at their cute and stubborn friend. They are staying in Piyali's room for this night to give some moral support.

'RING', 'RING' Piyali's phone rang which is placed on the side table.

"It's Risabh." Shreya saw the caller id and stated.

"Give me. I'll Talk with him." Sneha snapped.

"No, You'll make another trouble. I am talking with him." Shreya replied and answered the phone.

"Hello, Brother-in-law? I'm Shreya. Piyali is sleeping so I received your call. Is there anything you want to talk about now?"

After hearing Risabh is dumbfounded. 'How can she sleep? or She is avoiding me? yeah, that's must be the case. Is she not want to make everything clear before marriage?'

"Hello, Jiju(Brother-in-law)? Are you there?"

"Yeah, it's ok. let her sleep then. I'll not disturb her." Risabh tried to control his anxious voice and hung up.

"Why don't you ask him about the previous conversation?" Sneha asked. "You know Piyali'll never discuss these things with him. We should take a step on behalf of her."

"No, It's their private matter. Let them handle it. And men value their ego mostly. Ego is like a time-bomb, if you can't handle them properly they may explode at any time. Shreya replied.

"Now let's sleep. We are friends of the bride. We'll be next to the bride so it's important to look great. so get beauty sleep, my dear." Shreya said as she pushed Sneha to the bed.
