The next day I woke up at my usual time. It has become my habit by now. I had my long bath yet I was dreaming about him. Thinking about what he was doing. Was he sleeping like a log or had woken up to study.
Several thoughts crossed my mind when I picked up my phone and finally typed him, "Can you give me Ornaldo's phone number? "
I needed his phone number because he was very efficient in coding and has even mastered several coding skills. I could have taken his number from the group. But it's just an excuse to know whether he was sleeping or not.
He texted back immediately."Wait, Let me see. "
I texted, "Ok"
He texted me his phone number and I thanked him. And also I was confirmed he wakes up more or less around 6-6:30 a. m. Just an estimation.
I brushed my hair, did a light makeup which I don't even do for college. Finally Shelly called me up.
"Hello, are you ready? "
"Yeah, just fine I'm ready."
"Okay I'm leaving home. You leave home now. We will reach there together. "
"Oh Yeah. "
I left for the meeting. As usual I was late.
She was unchanged. Her looks and everything was just as perfect as before. The only thing was that she lost some weight. We stepped in there and ordered a Pizza Combo. We had a long chat. She was chatting about her gangster attitude which scared the seniors. How much she enjoyed bullying others and a lot more.
I chatted about Lacy and Sky. Although I didn't plan to talk about him, my mouth slipped while having that tasty and cheesy pizza and those cheese balls. To add freshness we even ordered a coke. It was a yummy moment.
I showed her his pic and told her... "He might look innocent but isn't. In fact he can tease others well." But I dared not proceed with this topic further otherwise she would easily decode the hints. She was talking about the tech and the cultural festival they had and she had participated in Robot Wars where the first year her team backed the fourth prize. She is really good at dancing and danced at the cultural fest. I was mesmerised to see how she hasn't changed much. But I changed a lot. She pointed at me and in fact she was nagging that she is a proud mother seeing me grow up.
I was laughing. It was impossible to hide my laughter. I shared that once I wore heel shoes instead of my sneakers and Nikki was holding me back and was yelling that her shoe was done for good. The shoe would loosen up so much that she wouldn't be able to wear it. She was laughing. She knows Nikki very well.
She was saying, "Good.I'm proud of your improvement. Next you also need to groom yourself up a bit. And you cannot always remain innocent. You should also learn to grasp their way of saying things. "
I knew that I had lost my sense of thinking innocently after meeting Sky. His pun and funny yet meaningful comments took it along with my heart.
After our conversation we even had a Chocolate cone ice-cream. She was chatting about how her pockets go empty because of her college friends. Their mass bunk which sounded Greek Mythology to me where people don't even bunk a single class not to think about the single day.
She was acting out hilarious comments from her college professors. I joined in explaining mine. But the time wasn't enough. Although 2 hours have passed, it seemed only 30 minutes to us. We finally had a deep hug and departed. I left for home.
It felt so good meeting her. I could chat with her about almost everything. It even made my heart feel lighter and gave me a ray of sunshine to continue further... further with my studies and one-sided relationship…
