You already knew that we had to leave for a week. I tried to wake you up but your father said that you might have slept late because of studies. I have made breakfast and lunch. Mrs Mathur insisted that you go for dinner at her house and later whenever you feel like. But still don't disturb her all the time.

Take care. Stay safe.

I folded the note and tucked it under the pillow. I was still lying on the bed looking at the ceiling.

That's when my phone started ringing.

I looked at the screen to see mom's photo popping up.

"Did you get my note?" she asked when I placed it on my ear.

"Of course I got it. You taped it to my forehead while I was sleeping."

"Okay then take care"

"I will"

"Bye"

"You actually called me to make sure that I got the note." I laughed

"Yes of course!" she sounded so obvious

We exchanged byes and the call disconnected.

I had dinner at Mathur's.

When I tried to ask Dhruv something, he stopped me by saying that Mrs Mathur was not aware that he went out at night so maybe we'll talk about it later.

I couldn't sleep. Two reasons, I was thinking about yesterday night and I was thinking about-

Why the hell did I watch The nun, this late at night?

I decided to meet Dhruv. Yes, I make the craziest decisions ever.

I could not ring his doorbell at 2 am. So I decided to text him to open the door.

Me: Hey! You up?

He replied a minute later.

Dhruv: I am a night owl

Me: Great

Me: Open the door I am coming

Dhruv: What?

Dhruv: Okay I get it, nice prank!

Me: I am serious

Dhruv: Look at the clock

Me: I can't sleep

Me: Let's do some gossip

Dhruv: No, we won't because I am not going to open the door

Dhruv: count some sheep or watch some movie

Me: I hate you

I planned to jump into his balcony. Since the balconies were adjacent, it couldn't be that difficult. I can do it.

"I did it." standing outside his balcony I screamed silently in triumph, the way Jethalal does.

I saw my breath in the air which gradually vanished as it moved up.

I peeped in through the glass door which was closed, obviously. The curtains were drawn too.

I decided to text him. I couldn't wait to see his reaction.
