Return of Radhika...!


“Finally, Mr. Big Shot found time to speak with me!” exclaimed Radhika.

I smiled keeping quiet as I had expected something like that.

“Don’t smile Mister, look at me you moron. Thoda bhi yaad nahi aaye hum? (did u even remember us a little)

I kept smiling. She had turned chubby, but still looked angelic, the way she used to be. Even on a video call, her smile made my heart skip a beat.

“I was busy re, just could not manage my time” I gave an excuse.

“You could not make time, the person who multi tasks every moment, like doing now….” She replied

“Now? Right now I am only talking to you. Why did you say that?” I tried to hide my amazement.

I was multitasking as usual. While I was on video call with her, I was also updating some sales report on my system. She could still see thru me like always.

“I know bass!” she replied

3 years now, since we met but still she gets through me. Damn it!” I thought.

“By the way, you are fat now.” I teased her trying to change topic.

“Hello mister, it is not fat you know.” She screamed.

Yes she was not fat, our Radhs is going to be a mother and that is why out of blue, I called her. She had messaged me about the news and was complaining that how she was missing her friend.

“Hahaha! Well that can’t be a reason, you are not 9 months yet” I teased her.

“I will kill you when we meet.” She laughed.

We both laughed for a while as we spoke and ended the conversation.

As she was disconnecting, she said “you know what, during this period mother should stay happy. So you dare vanish again.” I think she knew saying it will work. For her happiness I will do anything.

For a moment after the call, I sat silent in my room rerunning the conversation bit by bit. I had not laughed like that in recent past. Why? I did not know, but I have made my mind, to be around till I can.
