A Knot ✔

Her POV

His face kept running in my mind as if I am infected with some kind of virus. If I close my eyes his face comes in my dreams, if I open my eyes I imagine his smiling face. Everywhere, everytime only his thoughts. I don't have his number also. For now only thing I want is to get distracted from his thoughts otherwise I will end up embarrassing myself infront of my parents and my brother. So I decided to have some practise. I got involved in practising when my phone rang displaying an unknown number. I don't know why I felt it might be HIM. Hope so.

"Hello" I said taking the call.

"Ragini?" I heard a male voice questioning me.

I frowned as I felt I know who it is but I can say it's not HIM. I need to confirm my doubt first whether it is the person whom I am thinking to be or not. So I thought to continue the conversation.

"Yes. Who is this?" I asked showing confusion in my voice.

"I Love You. Will you marry me?" He said.

Confirm I know it's none other than my monkey brother Mr. Prit Gadodia. He pranked me like this many times from his friend's numbers. I am sure now also it's one of his new friend from office whose phone he would have borrowed to prank me. This boy na will never change.

"Is it? Wow... But you have to get permission from my to be fiance." I said playing along with him.

Now the drama king's acting will become over acting.

"Whaaat? You are going to get engaged? This is cheating. You can't do this to me" He said with over acting filled voice.

I rolled my eyes for his over action.

"Cheating? How? Please explain... Mr. Prit Gadodia" I said his name after a small break.

He started laughing immediately. Idiot! He spoiled my practise. I will not leave him once he return back.

"Stop laughing idiot. If next time you use your mimicry skills on me you will see what I can do. Come home idiot. You spoiled my practise with your stupid call. Idiot stop laughing." I spoke angrily as I got irritated of his continuous laugh. 

Suddenly I heard another voice. It's his! My eyes widened. I thought it's one of his new friend's number but it's HIM.

"Ragini!" he took my name.

I felt something different listening my name from him. I became silent and unknowingly a smile spread on my lips.

"It's Laksh" he told me thinking I didn't recognise him.

But I did recognise his voice. This is what something that is ringing in my ears from last night. And he thinks I would not recognise it.

"Laksh ji" I whispered his name. 

I felt so elated taking his name. My cheeks heated up a bit which I could feel.

"I will just call you back. I need to deal with someone" he said and I understood whom he has to deal with.

"Please kick him on my behalf too" I said gritting my teeth.

He chuckled. I smiled automatically listening his chuckle. And this Prit deserves it. Idiot. Let him come home. Cursing my brother I fell on my bed smiling like mad. I heard people talk for hours when they newly get hitched. Now I am understanding why. They get desperate to talk to eachother and long to hear eachother. I saw his number in the phone recent calls and tapped save option. I typed "💓 Thief" while smile is not leaving my face. Yes he is the thief of my heart. Don't tease me.
