Her Point of Reunion - 1

Advika

An awful sound disturbed me from my deep slumber.

My phone

As you soon as I opened my eyes, I closed it to save my eyes from burning sunlight.

You guessed right, I am not a morning person. Not at all.

Groaning like an unlady manner, I tried opening my one eye to check the alarm.

6:00 am. Too early.

Who in the right state of mind call at this time.

Rubbing my eyes, I picked my phone not even bothering to look at the Caller Id. I am already grumpy right now from waking this early.

But after hearing the person on the other side of the phone, I kept my grumpiness to myself.

"Advika Suryavanshi, where in the world have you been.". Came an awfully familiar angry voice from other side.

But the tone suddenly changed in upset as the person continued " I know you don't love me anymore. You could have just told me that you found my replacement." I can imagine Nidhi's pouty face right now.

Drama Queen Nidhi.

Well its partly my fault too,with all this busy life in finding a job within the given time limit by Papa, I didn't got time to contact her.

I still remember my first day of college, me being a fresher and all, Nidhi is one who helped me getting comfortable in college.

Me being me, having trust issues tried to avoid her as much as possible.

My past taught me something.

"If you won't get too attached, you won't get hurt," Right ?

But she literally clinged to me like a leech.

She started sitting with me in all my classes much to my disappointment.

Even in lunch time, she chose to hangout with me.

No matter how much I say that I don't like her, deep down I wanted her to sit with me, to cling to me, to be my friend.

No matter how much I say that I won't get too attached, I think its in my nature.

It took time but she surely made her way in my friendship zone.

I don't have much friends. I have two best friends including Nidhi.

Other one is my childhood friend, Shruti whom I had to leave as I shifted here. But we are still in contact.

After some months being Nidhi sticking to me like a glue (trust me, she never give up ) , I found myself reacting to her chattering.

She is one more thing.

Chatterbox.

She can talk for hours without even breathing. I know I am exaggerating but that's what really she is. She has that supernatural power to bleed someone ears.

But I could never find it in myself to tell her about my past. Not that I don't trust her, I do but by telling her about past, I don't want to go through those horrible memories.

"I am never going back, the past is in the past."

( What ? I love Frozen.)

"Oh hello!!! Sleeping beauty. Are you still with or I lost you somewhere in Arizona." I can sense worry in her tone.

"Uh, No. No. I am here. Just thinking about something." Shuttering I replied.

My subconscious is smacking her head on wall for shuttering like dumb.

Idiot. I muttered under my breathe.

OK ! Now she is glaring.

Knowing the detective Nidhi, she is gonna ask me a lot of questions but she replied.

"Its okay".

It shocked me that she didn't pressure me to answer her but her next statement shocked me more when She continued.

" I understand Advi. Do you really take me a fool ? You think I never noticed? I know you better now Advika, I know there is something buried deep in your heart that you never shared with me.

The way you have trust issues.

The way you never go within a km range of boys.

The way you drifted to your imaginary world and a sad or hurt emotion marry your face.

Do you really think, I never noticed that ?

Come on ! I literally be with 18 hours a day.

But I understand. Its your wish to tell me or not. But one thing I promise you that

I am here,

And I will always be here even if you want to kick me out of this planet.." I know she used the last line to ease the serious talk.

And here I thought, I can fool her.

After hearing the last line...I chuckled

"I don't like you anymore." I teased her.

"Yeah ! Yeah ! Love you too. Now wake up you lazy girl, we planned on having breakfast together. You better remember that. Bye." Without giving me a chance to reply, she hung up.

Wait, breakfast ?!

Shoot! I forgot.

My subconscious is digging my grave in my mind.

Jumping out of my bed, I did my morning rituals in bathroom.

When I returned to my bedroom, I noticed my phone ringing again.

Without looking at Id guessing Nidhi calling again, I picked up.

"I am almost ready . Stop calling me every 5 mins!!."

"Umm, Am I speaking to Advika Suryavanshi ?" Came a polite and sweet voice from other side.

No, this can't be Nidhi.

"Yes. Speaking". I replied hesitantly.

"I am Ananya from R.S. Group of Industry. You applied for Personal Assistant post here, I called to inform you that the interview is at 9:00 am today."

Double shoot !!!!

" Yeah . sure. Thank you."

As fast as I can I dressed in professional clothes. Usually I don't wear this type of clothes, but I guess if I am going for an interview, I don't have any other option.

Sighing myself, I put my hair in a neat bun, applied a little makeup on my face.

I don't know how girls are capable of doing perfect makeup in short time.

I don't eben know how to use brush let alone putting a blush.

I am such a disappointment to female species.

After dressing myself to atleast look presentable or I tried to, I dashed downstairs.

Getting down, I noticed Maa in kitchen cooking something and Papa sipping tea while reading newspaper.

I guess Anaisha is not awake yet.

So, I went and greeted both of them morning. After informing them about my interview and getting their blessings,

I started leaving the house.

Reaching outside , I noticed Nidhi is waiting there on her scooty.

Triple shoot !!!!

I really need to eat almonds every morning. I keep forgetting things.

After noticing my attire, she frowned.

After making a lot of promises to spend my whole weekend with her, she finally let me go of the hook.

I asked her for a lift which she agreed after glaring me for 3 minutes.

Well OK.

I have a car which Papa gifted me last year but I rarely use it.

And knowing traffic in Delhi, I prefer Scotty better than car now.

Within half an hour, we reached there.

I checked time. 8.30 am.

Still have 30 minutes in my hand.

After dropping me there,Nidhi left to do some chores.

She offered to pick me up after interview but I denied. I don't want to trouble her when I can easily catch a cab and who knows how much time interview is gonna take.
