Them

Chapter 80

After two days

Mimi was laying idle on her bed after returning from uni

Mimi: ugh! I'm tired

Spacing out for a bit.

Mimi: it's still swollen after two days... (Rubbing her lips)

When suddenly Arish called

Mimi: hum? It's him

Mimi picked up the call

Mimi: hello?

Arish: hey. It's me...

Mimi: I know. How are you?

Arish: what do you think?

Mimi: good I guess? Why would you be bad?

Arish: I'm not. My lover didn't contact me the whole two days.

Mimi: jeez! You didn't seem like the clingy one before.

Arish: who's clingy!?

Mimi: you obviously (teasing tone) and yeah. You didn't contact me too. Did you?

Arish: well, I was just testing you... And I was a bit busy too..

Mimi: so don't blame others. You should've called me everyday.

Arish: why? Were you missing me? (Teasing voice)

Mimi: who's missing you!?

Arish: you obviously.

Mimi: no!

Arish: so you didn't miss me? You really didn't think about me once?

Mimi: well... What if I did? That doesn't mean I missed you!!

Arish: yeah yeah (sarcastically)

Mimi: so why did you call?

Arish: are you really asking that after demanding calls everyday!?

Mimi: right. Sorry sorry.

Arish's: and yeah. Stay ready by 4. I'll come pick you up

Mimi: hum? Why?

Arish: are you acting dumb or are you really du- oh right. You're really dumb.

Mimi: did you just call me dumb!? And then you expect me to agree on going on that date today!?

Arish: I see. So you were acting dumb after all.

Mimi: jeez!!

Arish: and I'll be wearing a brown shirt.

Mimi: why are you telling me that?

Arish: that's for you to figure out.

Mimi: what the...!

Arish: bye then.

Mimi: why are you in a hurry to end the call? (Annoyed)

Arish: why? You wanna talk more? (Teasing)

Mimi: jeez! No!

Arish: well. I really need to end it now. I have a dinner meeting with my father's friend's son.

Mimi: you didn't need to go that detailed....

Arish: my girlfriend should know it all and rest assure.

Mimi: okay then..

Arish: let's have a good time when we meet today.

Mimi: hum.

Arish: bye. I love you.

Mimi: I love you- wait. No. That was too sudden!

Arish: get used to it. You'll be hearing at repeating that often. Bye

Mimi: bye.

Arish ended the call.

As Mimi put down the phone, she chucked a bit.

Mimi: jeez. Why am I even happy!?

Meanwhile Aden and Joy

As Aden was going home from uni, suddenly Joy saw him

Joy: hey! Aden! (Waving hand excitedly)

Aden saw Joy and felt a sudden joy wash over his body. But then the awkwardness and embarrassment got the best of him again and he quickly turned around and run away.

Joy was pissed seeing that.

Joy: what's his deal!? Why can't he just talk!? (Angry)

Joy angrily went home after her two weeks of staying with Dia.

Joy knocked the door and her mom opened it

Joy's mom: why did you come back beta? You could've just stayed there (sarcastically)

Joy: haha. So funny (still angry) let me go inside. My mood is kinda weird

Joy walked inside the house

Joy's mom: why? What happened dear?

Joy: nothing.

Joy sat down angrily. As Joy looked around, she could see some new show pieces and some extra parle jewelleries in their jewellery box

Joy: hum? I'm the one who went near sea. Why do you have those coral type of things all over the house?

Joy's mom: now don't act dumb.

Joy: huh? What do you mean?

Joy's mom: that tall friend of yours gifted us all of this. We were feeling so guilty that a little boy was gifting us so much. But he wasn't the type to listen anyways.

Joy: what the fu- I mean. What are you talking about!? (Shocked)

Joy's mom: why? You didn't know? Why would he gift us without informing you?

Joy: forget it. I knew.... (Trying to tackle the situation as it will make Aden look bad) I just didn't know it was so much.

Joy's mom: oh. That's what it is.

Joy: yeah...

Meanwhile Dia

Dia keeps looking at the card she got from the receptionist.

Dia: hum.... Dr. . Therapist huh? Is that why he knew how to flirt?

Sudden silence

Dia: ugh! What are you even doing Dia. (Throwing away the card)

To be continued....

Author: right. I was in the wrong thinking that Mimi and Arish would become lovely dovely when they date
