Thursday Night – Before Midnight
Varnika rolled onto her side, hugging her pillow, her phone glowing in her hand.
She still couldn’t believe she had said it,
Asked him, face-to-face, to be her boyfriend, even if only for a short while.
Her heart raced as the typing dots appeared.
Varnika:
So… I have a boyfriend now. Officially.
Abhi:
Short-term, officially. But yes.
Varnika:
Stop with the “short-term” part, it makes it sound like you’re on rent.
Abhi:
Well, you did give me a fixed contract. Until the UK flight, right?
Varnika:
Don’t remind me. Just a few days left.
So I expect full boyfriend benefits before I leave.
Abhi:
And what exactly are those benefits?
Varnika:
Scooty rides, obviously. Every day. At least once.
Abhi:
That’s already been happening.
Varnika:
Yes, but now it counts.
Do you even realize how much I like those rides?
Sitting behind you, holding on while you drive through Hyderabad streets… feels like no one can touch us.
