As the ring of Aarohi's phone rang, attracting the attention of the group of boys standing around,Faisal slowly moved towards the bag and was eager to see whose call was it.He opened the clip and the phone continued to rang.He took the phone out but before he could answer the phone stopped.Only a notification popped up.
'Missed Call(1):Best Buddy.'
Faisal was perplexed about this caller because how much he knew says that she have no best friend type buddy right now except Minie and she was also not that close to her to make Aarohi name her as 'best buddy'.Who is this?
Faisal was about to keep that phone back when he saw something in bag which made him knit his brows.
"Why would anyone carry this?"he said as he took out a nano red coloured stone which was perfectly symmetrical.He held it in air showing it to the rest of boys.
"A stone?Why is she carrying this?"a boy said from behind.
"May be she liked the beauty of this stone?Still... no one would carry it around."Another boy said as he kept his finger on his chin.
"Only one person can answer this.The owner of the stone.Let me go and give this her back."Faisal said as turned around to exit.
"Wait..What are you doing.Let her come here to find it.We can use this purse to ask her about that caller 'best buddy'.Think about it."a guy suggested.
"I think you are right."
....
Building B
Class of economics ended.
Student were going back while Aarohi was packing her things when she noticed that she was missing something.Her eyes rolled around her bag pack.Minie asked if she was searching for something.
"I am not getting my hand bag.I have some important thing and also my phone in it."
"Let me give a ring on your phone."
Minie called her but niether they heard any sound around them nor anyone picked up the call.
"Where did you see it last time?"
Aarohi recalled her routine of that day and at the drop of the hat,she remembered that she kept it on the table of canteen.
"I know.I left it in canteen.Lets go there."
They both went to canteen and search it thoroughly as if cops are searching a murder place trying not to leave a single clue.They found nothing out of their efforts.After failing miserably they sat on one of bench taking deep breaths.
"Are you searching this?"a voice came from behind towards which they turned.It was Faisal holding her phone in one hand and hand bag in the other.A sparkle appeared on Aarohi's face and the corner of her lip went up showing her relief.
"It's with you.Give it to me."she said as moved towards him to take both the things back.But the moment she tried to take it,his hands went up in the air making it difficult to be snatched.Again,an icy look appeared on her face the moment his hands went up.
"What would I get to give it to you?"
"Look,don't mess around with me."she warned him as she jumped and tried to snatch it away.She was looking like a little beast trying get the fruits from trees high up.
Faisal noticed that she didn't cared about phone which is normally the most important thing for people but tried to snatch the purse again and again.He thought to play a trick on her.
"Fine,take your phone away.I don't need it.It's locked anyway."he offered her.
"Return my bag right now....you.. immature adult."she said the worst word she knew in her dictionary which was purest dictionary in the world.She again jumped high to catch up the purse.
"What's so interesting in this purse that you don't even care about your phone.By the way someone named 'best buddy' called.hmm.Who is it?"he asked curiously.
"That's none of your business.Give both of my things back."She gave a kick on his leg which made him bend down to grab his leg.The purse fell on floor and was immediately picked up by Aarohi.She opened it, picked out the stone and heaved a sigh of relief before keeping her fist, enclosing the stone,on her chest.
"Thank god,it's here."she sighed.
"What's so great about this stone that you didn't even care about your expensive phone."Faisal asked as he straight himself up and passed the phone which was useless to him now.He knew that Aarohi will never tell him about that 'best buddy' so there was no point in forcing her.He was also not someone who would force his point on others.He would just try to pursue them to make them agree.He also had no intention to check her bag,he just saw it unintentionally.
She took the phone back and went back in no time.She had no intention to fight with him because she knew mistake was on her part.
She was on her way back to home when she recalled of Sid's first day at set.She called him at the drop of the hat.
"Hello.How was your day?"
"Not that nice,my bestie wasn't picking up,still asking me to have a good day."
"A troublesome boy had my phone.I just got it back."
Brows of Sid knitted the moment he heard her.
"Was that troublesome boy Faisal?"
