The next day I saw an iPhone box on my desk. I opened it and was shocked to see the latest model of iPhone in it. There was a tag with my name pasted on the box.

Who would have... no he wouldn't

Well maybe people would have been happy to get an iPhone from someone, but I wasn't.
I was upset. He was no one to me to get me such an expensive phone. I called him and he didn't pick up.

I went to him home at the evening and rang the bell.
He opened it. He raised his eyebrows. " You seem to be fond of my house a lot", he said and moved to let me in.

I entered inside. " Who is it", Prem asked coming out from the kitchen.

He looked at me and smiled and then looked at Dhruv and his smile faded. He nodded at me with a glum smile and went back into the kitchen.

" I came to return your phone", I said and took out the box and raised it to him.

"It's for you", he said

" I cannot take this", I said and grabbed his hand and put the box in his hand.

" Why would you give me this expensive phone, I can buy a phone on my own", I said

" Its nothing for me, and you lost your phone because of me", he said

" I can't accept this, it feels so wrong, are you trying to show off that you can buy such expensive things ", I asked

" And you can't accept it because of your ego?", he snapped.

" You are no one to me to give me an expensive phone, don't you think it is much", I asked

He was silent for a second

" I'm no one?", he asked

I became confused for a second.
" What?",

"Nothing", he said and shook his head.
"Sorry, if giving an expensive gift offended you, I felt responsible for what happened so..", he trailed

My anger faded when he told sorry and I felt guilt for making it a big deal.
" I'm sorry too, for saying you were trying to show off, I was angry ", I said

He nodded.

.........
Saturday , I was getting ready to go out with Tanya and her brother when there was a bang on the door. I opened it to find Dhruv. Wonder how he managed to get into a girls pg. The warden allowed no one else.

" Yes", I said as I noticed curious girls from the other room scout near to see what was happening.

" Yes? ", I asked again when he didn't reply

" Come here", he shouted to someone and I was stunned to see the same girls from that night.
I recollected that day"s events and took a step back.

" Now, you can give them any punishment you want ", he said

I looked and him and sighed. Was he for real, though I felt like punching on their stupid faces, I was better than that. I didn't want to see them at all...The girls seemed pissed off, but apparently they were scared

" I'm not going to give any punishment, let them go", I said

" What? After all that?", he asked surprised

" What do you want me to do, hit them? Abuse them, if I do that there won't be any difference between them and me", I said and looked at the girls who seemed to show no sign of regret.

Tanya came out of the bathroom that instant.

" Dhruv sir, you are here? ", she asked.
She was in her bathrobe . So I moved towards Dhruv.
