Lady Enigma

Chapter 5

"..Acha, everything is fine, but who is this kiran_0_4?"

Of course. Of course, she'll spot the new ids on my social media. God! Can't a man have his privacy?

"I see you're still stalking my social media account." Say, putting my phone on speaker. She can be one hell of a talker.

"Yup. Gotta look out for my brother." She says with a sugary sweet voice.

Yeah. Right.

A life hack: whenever a sibling mentions things like "looking out for you" or "I'm just checking" or something else of such sort, then it is only to use against you some or the other day. The other day can be way far than you can imagine, but trust me, they work all the time only to throw you into a shit hole.

"Likhita.." I say in a warning tone while rubbing a palm over my face.

"Fine. I'll stop.. for now.." she giggles, while I facepalm and chuckle with her.

"So.. how are things with your girlfriend? Is she the one I saw before or someone new?" I ask her. Her period of relationships can be very.. uh.. well they last for a moment in time.

But I respect her. She identifies herself as pan-sexual. And not every partner of hers respects her and her decision. So it's a bit hard for her to find the one.

The only problem I have concerning this situation is that.. she's got cocky, as many people are into her. She says she's irresistible.

Cue eye roll.

She was surprisingly taking a lot of time to respond "Likki?"

"Yeah?"

"You were not responding."

"Uh... it's just... it's the same girl you saw back then."

"Wait. What? Is this Likhita Kumar I'm talking to? I hope it's not the wrong number."

"I knew it, you'd talk like that, that's why I neve-"

"Hey! I'm happy for you." I say genuinely.

"You are?" She sniffs.

"Oh for fuck sake, please don't cry now! You'll defy all the laws that define Likhita Kumar." I mock.

"Oh fuck you."

"Now that's better." I sigh with content.

"You better tell me who Kiran is, young man. Oh, wait... it's she? I mean, this Kiran we're talking about is a woman! Oh my god! Is she your girlfriend?"

"Will you put breaks for those thoughts? Man! You're such a pain in the ass."

"No, bu-"

"Listen, Likki, I gotta go. Okay? I'll talk later."

"Liste-"

"BYE!"

She's too much to handle.

-

It's been a month since I've met Kiran, our friendship moved from frequent chai meetings to exchange social media and phone numbers.

It was more like a situation where you finally get to know the girl you started liking in an ice-breaking session, conducted in universities.

When I finally found a way to ask her phone number and social media id, she blushed so hard! And when I say she blushed hard, I mean that I could even sense the heat radiating off her.
