Chapter 69: chapter 69

The Next Evening at about 6 p.m.I thought, “Don’t know who is going to call me first. If Hemlatta calls me, then she will not leave the phone till night. On the other hand if Manroop calls me, she may also do the same. And if I start talking to Manroop and in between Hemlatta calls me, then my phone will show busy and she will come to know that I am talking to somebody else. And if she finds my phone busy late till night, then Hemlatta will never talk to me again! I have to do something.”I telephoned Hemlatta. She picked up my call and said with a very pleasant smile, “Hi Aman, how are you? I knew that you were going to call me.”I giggled and said, “Wow! You have telepathic powers!”Hemlatta - Haha. I guess. Actually, I thought deeply about whatever you said yesterday. Aman - Hmm….Hemlatta - Then I reached the conclusion. My jaw dropped a bit since it was a very suspenseful moment for me. I asked, “So what’s the conclusion? Have you made your final decision?”Hemlatta - Hmm…yeah. The conclusion is….Aman - Why did you stop? Go ahead please. She laughed and said, “The conclusion is that I can’t decide right now. I have to think more!”Aman - Oh my gosh! I held my breath and was listening to you! And you hehe!Hemlatta - Good prank huh? Showing my fake anger in the way so that she may also realize that my anger is fake, I said, “Terrible prank! I don’t like this kind of prank.”Hemlatta - Okay, okay. I am sorry. Hehe. Aman - It’s okay. No problem. Hey, I want to tell you something very important. Hemlatta - Yeah, sure. Aman - Today, I won’t be able to talk to you as my mama ji (My mom’s brother) is going to reach my home soon. I will be busy. Hemlatta - Oh, it’s okay. No problem. You take your time. If you get time then talk to me otherwise we will talk tomorrow. I said with a sweet pleasant smile, “Thanks for understanding.”Hemlatta - Welcome. Okay, now go go. Do some preparation for your guest. Aman - Yeah, sure. Okay, bye bye dear.Hemlatta - Bye bye my sweetheart!Aman - Hey! What did you say? You called me sweetheart!Hemlatta - Haha! Don’t worry. I simply called. Aman - Haha! Okay. Bye bye. I disconnected the call. I heaved a sigh to relief and said to myself, “Now, the room is cleared for Manroop. Hemlatta is already in my hand. Now, let’s see what goes between Manroop and me.”I texted Manroop, “Hey, are you there?”Her reply came instantly, “Yes, I am here.”I texted, “I mean can you talk? Are you free now?”She replied, “Yeah, I am free now. I was waiting for you to be free.”I replied to her, “Yeah, I am also free. I am going to call you.”Manroop - Okay. I called her and she picked up my phone. Manroop - Hello Aman, how was your day? Aman - My day was as cool as ever. You say what about you?Manroop - My day was also good. Aman - So what-what have you done up to now? Manroop - Nothing special. The same normal routine. I got up early in the morning, did some yoga, then had my breakfast, then I went to my academy, after teaching students then I came back home, my mama ji (My mom’s brother) was waiting for me. We talked to each other for about an hour. You know Aman, my mama ji supported me a lot in my academy. Actually, if it was not for him, then it would be almost impossible for me to gather a hundred students in my academy.Aman - Oh, great. Your mama ji is really very supportive. And I loved one more thing in you. She smiled and asked, “What?”Aman - That you also do yoga. That’s awesome! Normally, in our age, girls and boys don’t even think about yoga. Manroop - Yeah, true. I already told you that I am not like other girls. I am a very understanding and sophisticated girl. I know very well how to live a life. Aman - That’s awesome. Rare are girls like you. Manroop - Yes. And it’s another fact that rare are boys like you!Aman - You mean? Are you pampering me? Hehe. Manroop - No! I am not pampering you. You don’t have an ego, you are a very down to the earth person. Your way of talking is very polite. You are really a gentleman.  Aman - Wow! That’s really a great compliment. Manroop - You deserve this compliment. You know what, one boy from shadikamaal app came across your profile. He must have read your profile carefully and then he reached my profile and called me. When I picked up his call, he started talking about you. I was shocked!Aman - What! It’s really shocking! A boy read my profile! Hehe! Manroop - What happened after that is much more shocking than that!Aman - What did he say? Manroop - He said that he read your profile and looking down upon your profile, he said, “See Manroop, there are also people like that who are begging girls’ parents to give their daughter to him. Haha! He has written - No caste bar, no religion bar, no demand! Haha! I think nobody is ready to give him their daughter! Haha!”Aman - What!Manroop - Yeah. Then I asked him, “Do you know Aman?” He said, “No.” Then I asked him, “Have you ever talked to him?” He said, “No.” Then I said to him, “If you don’t know him, if you haven’t even talked to him, then how can you say that nobody is ready to give him their daughter? How can you say that he is begging for a girl?” Then I bluntly said to him, “I have talked to him. He is a very good person. And he is much better than you!”Aman - What! You said on his face!Manroop - Yeah, I said to him on his face! I don’t fear such stupid guys who don’t even have common sense! (It will be so nice of you, if you leave at least a single word comment 🌺❇️🌹🌺❇️)
