September 1st,
Shilpa’s birthday, Something Abhi can never forget. He always wanted to hold
the credit of wishing her first. He always wanted to have a unique stance whatever
that is related to Shilpa. Someone whom he can’t just let it go, irrespective
of fracas they had, Abhi picked up his phone to call her on a peg of cappuccino.
Tring Tring !!! Tring
Tring !!! Tring Tring
Abhi can feel his heart
rate racing up to the peak. He had a sip of coffee.
Tring Tring!!! Tring
Tring
“Hello” A rough voice
answered.
“Hey Shilpa, Abhi here”
“Yeah”
“Hey Happy Birthday”
declared Abhi
“Oh you remember. Great”
sarcasm ruled the reply.
“Yeah” with an ugly
grin
“mhm” she replied lame.
Silence ruled the
conversation. Abhi never faced such situation with Shilpa. They never ran out
of topic to chat, discuss, fight, argue and finally win. Batteries ran out of
charge, Phone balance couldn’t stand that long and even their sleep had a short
nap before they proclaim a final “bye”. At last, Shilpa spoke up.
“You told that you
never want to talk to me again…….” No full stop was found in that statement.
“You did not even
counter question. So, it meant even you got the same stance” replied Abhi.
“You are the one who
did unfriend me on fb, you are the one who never want to see me again…………” the
list was endless that shilpa read over phone.
“Come on, this is
ridiculous. You stopped talking to me on phone, never did text me at least a good
morning. Even you got same stance Shilpa. You hate me” answered Abhi.
“Oh okay. So you hate
me. Fine, Thank you.” concluded Shilpa.
“Do you have any idea what did I underwent? Not even
a word from you. You are such a idiot, stupid, fool……” Abhi did not realize
that his eyes were flooded.
“Okay, is there something we can sort out?”
“I really do not know
Abhi” Shilpa answered wiping her tears.
“Okay, let us make it simple.
I shall send you a friend request on fb, you tell me a sorry” proposed Abhi.
“No, you tell me a
sorry and you send me a request on fb. As I am very generous and kind hearted I
shall accept your friend request” smiled Shilpa with tear inundated eyes.
“You are so mean. Come
on, you are partner in crime. Let us share it equally.”
“I am a girl and I am
more sensitive than you did. So you owe me an apology” declared Shilpa.
“You did not even wish
me on my birthday, late night after checking with fb you just texted me on
phone and I am very first person to wish you and you just shift the blame and
apology on me and demand a sorry” Abhi laughed out loud.
“Just tell me when my
birthday is?” inquired Abhi.
“mhm November. No
December. This is final April right? Okay, I am so sorry” muttered Shilpa.
“What? Come again. Could
not hear you” re-questioned Abhi.
“I am so sorry” yelled
to top of her voice.
“Okay, even I am sorry
for what ever happened” uttered Abhi.
“No tell me more”
yelled Shilpa.
“What?”
“That you are sorry and
you shall never do that again to me. Also, Shilpa is a good girl” Shilpa
smirked.
“Here by I declare that………….”
Repeated Abhi
“Tomorrow 12 PM sharp at barbeque” proposed Shilpa.
“What I can get for
birthday baby?”
“Your credit card”
Shilpa laughed out loud.
Abhi touched the ‘end
call’ option with a bright smile on his face. In fact, cappuccino worked.
Before Abhi could vacate the place, a stranger from next table joined him.
“Sir, please do not mind. I hear your conversation. Can you please
tell me more tips to reconcile with girlfriend” stranger literally urged him.
“Boss chill, we are not
lovers” declared Abhi.
“Then?” puzzled
stranger.
“Just Best Friends” smiled Abhi.
