You Matter

️Aditya
Though I woke up early but couldn't make for Kanika so she was on her baddest nerve from the beginning of the day. She didn't babbled about her so called amazing ideas for fresher's. And she didn't even come to me to hold my arm and stand by me, no offence but I was quite happy about it still I didn't like her see irritated. She was my best friend after all.
We went to Cafe and I sat beside her and began twitching her and Snuggling playfully.
Alright! That's not right! But she gets back this way.
"Stop it! AD stop it! " She sounded more irritated.
" No my baby until you laugh! " she tried to hold my hands but I was stronger. When she couldn't succeed me she started laughing and hugged me.
Done!
" Okay. Stop! I forgive.. " she said. I winked at her.
" Tell me your ideas. " I reflexively looked around and saw only the boys. She wasn't there.
Where are those freaky girls?
Who cares?!
I waved her thoughts away.
" I will not. You don't listen. You don't care. Just leave it and go to.... her. " she said angrily turning her head away and pouting. I could tell without even seeing that she was watching me from the corners of her eyes.
Wait!
Her? Who?
" What do you mean? Who? " I was quite puzzled because she never got insecure about me getting on with other girls.
" I said leave! " She folded her hands around her chest and legs same time, sniffing quite dramatically. Well that was Kanika!
" Kanika just tell me clearly. What is it? Why are you behaving so odd. " I got annoyed more, I don't know why.
She isn't anywhere?
" Alright. What do think? I don't see you searching her? You search her at parking, when you walk across her class, Cafe.., aren't you? you talk to her, all smiling. When you know... Already know that.. I like you.. I... I love you.. Still?" She went on waving her hands all over and that's when I realised I was doing something like that.
Why the hell?!
I never ached to see someone to irritate them to that extent, did I?
I love to irritate you.
I casually looked at Kanika who was glaring at me badly now. I couldn't make what her problem was?
" It's not that way Kanika. You are getting things wrongly. I just.. Don't.. Don't search her.. Why will I want to see for her... everywhere? " I said.
" You do. " She declared and I sighed," answer these then! Have you ever crossed any other girl more than once or maybe twice? Have you ever tolerated anyone insulting you? No... Never. And wrong me if you didn't search for her here few moments ago? "
I couldn't say anything to her because I surprisingly was doing that at this same moment. But it wasn't that I liked her. I didn't know why?
You like to irritate that confident girl!
That's all!
And I was sure that I didn't liked her.
" I don't like her Kanika. I hate her . I hate her face. " It was true I hated her. hastag confidence.
" Yeah Kanika. Why would he like someone who sticks 'kick my ass' poster behind him? Shake it off! " Akash chuckled.
" Cool! " Sanya encouraged.
Kanika smiled at me moving her eyes every direction acting to think about it then said," Ok. I am sorry AD. "
" It's okk. " I gave her warm smile . We talked and smiled and shared our ideas for party. After a while Akash and Sanya went away.
" Do you love me then? " she asked quietly. Not again, Kanika.
" You are my best friend, Kanika. I like you. I love you but not that way. "
" Then why you cleared all that? Does it matter than? " She posed angrily.
It does.
" Of course, it matters! Because you matter. " I thought that would be enough. She mattered to me.
Then we rushed to the Great hall to plan the things. Only three days were left for the party. And we had enough of works adding our assignments and sessional next week.
We were in charged for the decorations and management. Dad paid the bills. I mean college funds were used for financing.
We forwarded the list for our required stuff, Auditioned for the performances and managed the events we were going to keep.
Our important attention was about after party. Of course, you couldn't have that fun in front of the authority. Afters was supposed to be at BK Castle. Every senior contributed either by resources or efforts. We thought rookies must have fun and we were working on to ensure that.
When I reached home, I found bhai in his best moods. He looked very happy as if Miss Maya Maheshwari had accepted to be Mrs. Malhotra.
" How was that? You look like she said yes. " I teased him.
" Yes she still accepted my proposal, " I jumped clapping my hands on Sofa, " when she got to know that it was me. " He chortled.
What ?
Of course, it is he who proposed her. My handsome brother!
" What? What she know that you were behind that? " I asked him.
"... That it was me who purposely arranged the meet with Mr. Dixit and had her that big project. She still accepted and I am so happy today... Nice gift!high five! "
Just that and he was happy.
I got overexcited snd overthought my Big - B 's abilities, did I?
" You just made me take away all the appreciation I had for you? "
He stood there with hand on air when I stood up from sofa and blew an air from my mouth and went away.
" What the hell! " he exclaimed
".. f**k. I won't wonder if you get mental when she says 'Yes' for marriage proposal." I waited for him to come and hit me for cursing but I was lucky.
I was on the other room still I heard him say ' I don't doubt that too'.
Love makes you mad!
I slumped on my bed and started with my phone. Someone knocked my door though it was open.
"FIRST change, i***t. " of course ,
Big B. I got up and made way to my to washroom. It took me twenty minutes to bath. I slipped into my shorts and T-shirt and picking my life, my phone, walked to kitchen to satisfy my stomach. Bhai and Dad were already sitting in the dining table.
Wrong timing!
" Good evening, dad! "
" Good evening beta(Son) " Dad replied. Robin, our servant, made me coffee and sandwich.
" Thanks Robin! Where's aai ? " He smiled and answered.
" She's is not well today, Adi. " She was our oldest cook but took care of most of the things. I loved her. She loved me too. And bhai and I call her 'Aai' for she asked us to. It meant mother in Marathi language.
" What happened? " I enquired.
" Just little fever. She will come tomorrow. "
" Let's go to meet her. " Bhai said and I nodded.
We finished our evening snack and went to her. Bhai asked her if she needed any help. But she said she had had enough from dad. Then bhai went for his some work and I stopped at Akash's.
" Why the hell are you here? " He pushed me away from door." Sanya and I are alone, you know. Just leave us alone. Get out! " He said angrily.
That was so very bad attitude!
Great!
I will have to take the taxi to home.
" Allright, I am leaving. " I said disheartened by my unloyal friend.
" Who's there?... AD? Come let's enjoy. " Sanya cane up.
" I won't be able to enjoy then." He moved his hand through his hair, winking at me.
" I am leaving.. Bye. You enjoy! " I said moving back.
"Why? Come on." Sanya forced when Akash gestured to let me go.
" Okay. Bye. " she said. I turned and Akash slammed the door hard.
Fuck him!
Wait he is getting f****d already!
Can't you let your friend enjoy with her girlfriend?
No!
I walked out of the society cursing in my head, so that I could hire a taxi. I was out of the society and walked the alleyways. Few moments later it started to rain.
It dropped heavily. I ran keeping my hands above my head though I knew it wouldn't provide me shield. I found the great door opened and sign board said Navneet Enclave. I ran inside and stood at the entrance of the building. I took out my phone out and dialled bhai, then mom and then dad. I waited if someone picked my phone up. But damn the network.....!
