Chapter 30: chapter 30

My phone rang once more!It displayed the same number. Before I could receive it, it got disconnected.Who is it? Eventually, I brushed the thought off. I worked for the entire day and reached flat with the piece of work to confront Princy.I hared towards her room cautiously as I didn't want to create a scene before twins and Ronnie.I knocked her door warily with a hope that I might find her in her room.I didn't get any response from the other end. I knocked thrice, but there was no sign of hers.Where is she?"Let's have dinner, babydoll", Emma called out from the kitchen.Shit! I can't be seen near Princy's room.I transposed myself hopefully to another way so that I could reach my room.I sighed on my accomplishment. "Babydoll?", Ella voiced this time."Coming", I gave back from my room.We commenced our dinner with a few topics regarding work and other stuff. "Are you alright now?", Ronnie pointed towards my bandaged blister."Of course", I smiled."Great", he acknowledged. It was almost an hour since we were back and Princy wasn't here yet. *suspicious*Where can she be?Well, I won't go easy on her, no matter when ever she comes. It seemed to be the fitting instant to know Princy's whereabouts. "Um..do you guys have any idea, where Princy is?", I queried pretending to be casual. "Nope! Even checked her for dinner, but no luck", Ronnie replied gulping a morsel. "Oh! She doesn't share our cab either right?", I tried again. "Since day one. And don't ask me why. I have no clue", Ronnie shrugged."Neither we", twins unisoned. "Okay!", I uttered.I outreached my room, called home and polished off some other roomie chores. In the meantime, I received a few pics from Ayu regarding his date with Priya. Aww! They seemed to be perfect together!I lay down swiping pics. My senses moved my view to my bandaged hand and unconsciously shifted my thoughts towards Neil.Even after trying hard, I couldn't resist the fact that he holds-on an upstanding approach towards me consistently. His aura effortlessly convinces a pleasing feel, his serene comportment, his vocables and turn of phrases brimmed with comfort and reassurance, his iconic forbearing smile.Plus a pure inclination with which he targets me every time through his blue eyes.Blue eyes?*self-realization*No! No! No! What the hell was I thinking?What was I up to? Kill me! Not going in the same trap twice. Shake it off, Aashi!*Buzz*My phone beeped pulling me back from my foggy notions.It read Idiot! I jumped in excitement. I haven't heard from Yash, since he landed in New York. *Dufffferrrrr! 😃Sorry for not having a talk because of zero breathing space. Hell busy with admissions and stuff. *pout of disapproval post analysis*Come on! Don't make that sulky pout now! *laugh*Will surely call you once I will be leisured. Please spare Londoners😂Hugs!🤗Take care!🤩Miss us..!!🤜🤛*I texted him back! *Idiiiooottt!Don't expect a call from me either because I am busy too! Don't laugh now! *surely he will*Call soon!Hugs back!🤗Take care!🤜🤛*Though I wanted to share a lot of odds and sods with him, however, it doesn't sound like an appropriate epoch right now.I slid myself beneath the quilt and dozed off. The next day was a bit lazy. I was busy with my Netflix series. *knock knock*I glanced at the clock on the wall. It struck 6:00 PM!I opened the door and noticed an unknown person holding a huge Rose Bouquet in his hands which almost covered him."Ms. Rao?", he asked."Yes", I replied looking at the bouquet."This is for you", he passed it onto me.For Me?"Who sent this?", I queried while struggling to manage that huge bunch of flowers.I didn't get any response. "Excuse me", I looked in the direction where that person was supposed to be.And, he wasn't there.I stepped out with an odd feel and surveyed around, he was nowhere. Where did he vanish all of a sudden?Strange! I scanned the entire bouquet and finally my view ceased at a coloured card. I opened it keeping the bunch near the couch.It read .. "Hope you like it Ms. Rao"What's going on?"Who was it, babydoll?", Ella stood next to me. "No idea", I was mused in finding the logic."That's so beautiful", Emma jumped."Is it for you?", Ella asked."Seemed to be", I stretched the card towards her.They both read the card and exchanged a look at each other. "SECRET ADMIRER?", both unisoned after a minute of silence and chuckled."Absolutely, not!", I evaded.Could this be a mislaid case?Aah! This is it. However, I am not the only Ms. Rao here in this entire London. *rolling eyes*"Are you sure you don't wanna join?", Ronnie snapped me out.Join? Oh, how can I forget?I didn't notice that they all were dressed up and were about to head for clubbing as it was a Saturday evening. I am not into parties and all. I would rather prefer a hot cup of coffee with my favourite music. "A hundred percent. You guys carry on", I replied."What will you do alone?", he shot one more putting on his overcoat."What else? She will go to her favourite place that Batter Parkland, where she could hardly find a living soul", Ella shrugged and chuckled. Ronnie gave an "Oh Yes" look."Yup! Where she can get tranquility and seclusion", Emma added. Ronnie and twins shared a threesome high-five. Yes, Batter Parkland!I don't know why but I get an immense pleasure by just walking over that greensward with my best-loved music or sometimes, reading a book amongst greenery all around.This is as in my 'Me Time' so far since I am in London. I usually go there whenever I am free. And as Ella said, it being such a beautiful place, yet to find an individual is as once in a blue moon. Anyways, everybody doesn't have the same tastes. "We will be late, so you just take care", Ella waved at me. "Anything, just a call", Ronnie said, sharing a fist bump."Sure! You guys have fun", I waved back.After thoroughly going my leftover series, I walked out towards the Parkland wearing a white tee paired with blue denim and adding it with a cardigan.I almost reached the Parkland main gate and my phone rang. I paused my stride and took it out of my denim's left pocket. It read the same ISD number. Why am I getting kind of blank calls from this same number over and above?I hesitantly swiped the green icon walking ahead.Me- Hello?Unknown- *no voice*Me- Who's this?Unknown- *no voice*Me- If you have nothing to say, then just shove off. *furious*Unknown- Ms. Rao! Hope you are doing well! *hush voice*Me- Do I know you? Unknown- Very well! *cackle*Me- Who are you?Unknown- Have patience, sweetie! You will know. Me- Enough..Unknown- *sandonic laugh*Me- Listen, you....Beep.. Beep...Ugh! Who the hell on earth was he?Why did his voice seem familiar? Was this a prank??I increased my pace unknowingly with each step lost in my own thoughts. AndBOOM! I collided with someone and it hit my right shoulder so hard, forcing me to screech. "Ouch". I groaned. "Are you made of iron", I ranted, rubbing my shoulder with my left palm.I raised my head to see that bulldozer's face.Oh No!God, why don't you lift me at once rather than giving shocks back to back? ***************************Blank calls? See you in the next chapter.Till then stay tuned and miss me😉#KeepReading #KeepLoving❤️❤️
