chapter 33

[ Vibha's p.o.v]       I tossed the phone aside. Not like I am bound to explain them everything.  My phone beeped again and I glanced at the screen and immediately secured it back in my hand. [ On Text ] A:Reached. V:Rude. A:What's rude in this now? What do you expect me to write ? A whole paragraph describing my each step?      I myself don't know why I replied with that. What else did I expect to reply with? I don't know. But certainly not a single word. A:Now you leave me on seen? That's not rude?       Okay cool, now she's flipping tables . Oh gosh! why is it so difficult to communicate with her? V:Sorry. A:I am screenshotting this !        She is really flipping tables today. My fingers linger over the keyboard for a while but not a single sensible word is formed. A:BTW,What was it all about? V:What? A:The appology and stuff?     Great! I really didn't think she'd bring it up so soon. I know it's unvietable but I didn't want to deal with it so soon. A:Only if you want to talk about it though.       She's considerate too. V:Not now. A:Sure. Sorry. V:What for? A:I guess, it all happened because of me?    Technically yes, but really, no. My friends are dumb. Not your fault. V:Not your fault. Don't overthink it. A:Still sorry. V:Let's talk it in person tomorrow . A:You coming?V:You wanted me to?A:I never said so. V:Rude. A:You deserve it.V:Rude x 2A:Whatever. Bye. V: Bye.     Looks like I have some explaining to do tomorrow. I sigh and place my phone aside. It beeps again. A:Good night. V:Nyt.      The text for some reason creeps up a smile on my face. This girl sure knows how to switch my mood . I finally let my phone aside and head down for dinner. I guess we even have some family discussion to do.      The table was well set with all kinds of fancy decorations to excite a 5 year old , not me. I wonder if even my 5 year old self would have loved them. Seems no. But who to complain to? I just put on a smile and head to take a chair. He sits with his teddy smile right in front of me. I can't believe this man is a CEO , okay he is nothing but a walking teddy in my eyes.      I pick up a fork and stab it in the rabbit shaped cutlet, speaking truly, it looks nothing but a disoriented shape. " You murdered my Mr. Bunny without a single thought? How cruel!", he whined like a baby and I just sneaked a glance but didn't react. He cleared his throat and settled into a more professional position. " Looks like I have some real appologising to do here . ", he said. I gave him a few nods and I don't have to look up to know how that smile turned upside down. " Rude . You could have just let it off. I am your dad.", he whined . I set my fork aside and gave him a stern look. " I do have some appology to make .", his tone humbled almost immediately.      " First of all, I am sorry, I should have asked you about the matter than believing someone else. I should have given you a chance to explain yourself before straight up accusing you. Second off all, what's this about?", he asked and now I was the one on hook. " First of all whatever happened, did. Second , ....." Okay I don't know how to put this. I hate my ex so I am stealing his crush?  " Well, she is that moron's crush and somehow I happened to share same class with her. He creeped her out twice on name of helping and I guess that's how we are close since I was there to shoo him off. My friends turned it into revenge mission and I guess that's how we ended up in that situation. ", I told him what it was. Ofcourse not the whole thing but I didn't lie either.      " Oh, but aren't you meddling in his business? It would definitely -", " No! It can be considered meddling if she had any interest. He's just pestering her. ", I justified myself. Ofcourse this one is fact. He fell silent. " What about her?" , he asked. " What her?"  " I mean what she thinks about all this. " " Does she look like someone who even thinks ?" , I mocked and I can clearly see that didn't go well. " Okay , as you saw, we get along pretty well." , I lied. We don't. Atleast she doesn't get along ' well ' with me.      We finished the dinner in silence but I was glad for it. I didn't wish to answer anything regarding this any further.  I skipped back to my bed to find it spammed with tones of messages.  My face scrunched as I read the contact name.  What's with this moron now. I wished to open them but then another set of messages popped. It was from Arushi. Now what?          I opened her chat first. Priorities. [ On Text ]A:Let's go to clg together from tomorrow.        My face lit up with surprise. V:And what do I owe this honour to? A: Your creepy ex spamming me.      As much as I was excited this , this for sure annoyed me. V:Wdym? A:* Insert ss *        She literally sent me screenshots of their conversations. V:Block him.        I didn't have to read the whole thing to suggest this. A:Did. V:Good girl. A:Stfu. V:Woah woah good girls don't curse . A:Stfux2    My lips curled into a broad grin. She surely is learning from me. A:I will call you tomorrow before leaving. V:What makes you think I am going to clg tomorrow?A:I said so. V:So now your order for favours?A:Please?Vibhu?    "Oh gosh this girl is for sure - what's with this -"V:Now if you are going to be this sweet , how can I refuse? A:Tomorrow 12:30 that's set then. V:Wait-You ain't making me sit the whole damn day are you? A:Yes. V:I am out. A:Don't go back on your words. V:I said I will come with you not that I will attend lecs with you. A:You will!      I can picture her angry pout and glare with hands folded in front of her chest , ordering me while her one leg thumbed against the floor like a rabbit, what was his name again? Thumper? V:Okay okay your highness. A:Good night then. V:Nyt!         Something in me wanted to karate chop the wall in front of me. But I refrained myself somehow. My dad already believes I need to be disciplined, don't want him to think I need therapist next .       But a sudden thought struck me. What did he tell her this time? I ran to my phone and quickly opened the chats. First her. I scrolled to find the screenshots. [ Text ] { Abhi: AbhijeetAr: Aru}Abhi:HeyAre you okay?I saw you go to Vibha's house. Everything fine?      Who tf does he think he is to call me ' Vibha 'Ar:Yes. Abhi:Did she trouble you?Are you okay?Did she hurt you? A:No. Yes. No.     The only thing good about this conversation is my Aru's replies. Abhi:She is quite hot headed and I know she is trying to get revenge on me . Please be away from her. DwI won't let her hurt you. I know she can get too lowly with her pranks. If she does anything just tell me. I will look into it. Why did you go into her house?     You have blocked this user.    The satisfaction I felt after seeing the last line. Damn ! This girl sure knows how to deal with creeps. I smirked proudly and opened his chat. I am sure he is here to whine and blame .
