WHATSAPP:
Suraj: Are you serious about this? Recounting the entire story?
Harshita: Even if you are serious, are you sure this is the last time?
Vaidehi: Should I call her too? Shraddha I mean… I would like to have Pratika, you both as well as her if this is the last time…
Suraj: Harsh, I am scared of her ‘if’… But I guess Shraddha is a good idea. Call her and tell her about his first and then conference call all of us…
Harshita: It’s actually a very nice story. Except that I have heard it too many times all ready, over and over again… But if it truly IS the last time and I won’t be able to hear it ever again… then I guess I don’t mind…
Vaidehi: Calling Shraddha…
*
Shraddha: Vaidehi! HAVE YOU LOST THE LITTLE, SMALLEST, TINIEST PART OF THE REMAINDER OF YOUR BRAIN?!!!! A recount?!
Me: Ok look, don’t freak out so much! After all I have tried, let’s try this too! What if it works?
Shraddha: What if you cry all over again?
Me: What if I do?! I might as well cry and be over it rather than be sad and stuck to it! I have tried forgetting him! Let me try remembering him for a change! Maybe it will really work! Don’t give up on me, not now…
Shraddha: Ved, I am not giving up on you… I’m just worried… Worried as a Mother Hen… But it IS a very cute story…. I guess one last time then… The whole story… Once and for all… Thank goodness for that…
I smiled…
We begun the conference call… Pratika, Suraj, Harshita and Shraddha…
