Chinmoy reached at C-505.
Suruchi: Hey..hi.
C: Where is aunty? Let’s go and have lunch together.
S: She had been waiting for you since morning. A while ago mom left for a relative’s place. She would be back by 5.
C: Hmm. Am also not that hungry. Let’s open the sweet box. ☺
Suruchi : Yeah. By the way, it is with Naina. But are you sure that you do not want to meet Naina?
C: Hmm…ooo…ok. Is she here?
S: She is inside. Go and talk to her…finally!
Chinmoy went in. Naina was busy in packing her books. She gave a fleeting look at him, ignored and then again kept herself busy in packing. Oh! What an arrogant girl! Chinmoy thought.
C: Hi Naina. Hmm…came to know that you are leaving tonight. And yeah...Congratulations for your job. Initial posting will be at Bangalore right? Cool yaar! Umm…I mean that place is cool. The weather is good too. Also the people are! I mean to say that…that…ok…leave it. How’s Duggu doing? (Her brother) oops! How are your parents? Are they coming to pick you up today?
Naina: Mr. Enough! Can’t you see how messy the place is? Are you going to help me with packing and yes…stop conducting my stress interview.
C: Yes, yes...sorry for asking too many questions at a time. No problem. Give me that carton…No, that bigger one and some tape. Let me pack the books first.
It almost took 3 hrs to pack the entire things. There was a pin-drop silence. Even Suruchi wanted to say something but Naina gave her a glare. So she dared not to speak!
C: I guess everything is done. Cool! I already have booked a cab to drop both of you at the railway station. Girls, get ready, the cab would be here by 7.30 pm.
N: Ok. Anything else?
C: No…yes, the sweets. The packet that Suru’s mom brought. She mentioned that it’s with you.
N: It’s there on my study table. Pick that while you leave.
C: Naina…we have enough time for tea. Can we go to canteen as I don’t know when and where we would meet up next.
N: Ok. You go ahead, let me take a shower; would join you in 15 mins.
