With the cordless suspension of round blazing yellow fireball in the sky next morning, Sid set ablaze his bottoms towards the washbasin inside restroom. He began brushing his nineteen-year-old teeth, which he forgot cleaning from past two days. He watched himself in the mirror that hung up over the washbasin.
WHAT THE SHUCKKK!!! Hellish enough, images of Avni kept on flashing in the mirror one after another like a stupid slideshow presentation. The refresh rate of slideshow went on to her hundred pictures per second. The brushing speed of Sid went on to thousand wipes per second. Stopping his brushing session right there and then, he ran supersonically to his room and slammed the door shut with his mouth fully stuffed with toothpaste froth. Damn! This is something strange, neither good nor bad, neither pleasant nor unpleasant.
Sid was so hungry that restless churning in his stomach was felt like hundreds of buffaloes, cows, bulls, donkeys were on a stampede inside. Yet, he opened Avni's profile and left her an offline message.
Partly gratifying his estrogen-famished hormones for Avni, he rushed to the mess for 5-star quality breakfast, not even fit for junkyard dogs.
Stirring the spoon in sweet corn soup that was 99.9% water and beautified with one piece of corn, CJ said playfully staring at Sid, "Yesterday, you didn't come downstairs for dinner. Why so? I hope you were not watching something important, something luscious like X-rated in which a pervert tip-toes his fingers up the girls back to what she wears inside and is about to unhook something that's not required."
"Ha.Ha.Ha... VERY FUNNY!" Sid grunted and smiled fake. Sid, tried to battle with his own brain over why his idiotic concern for Avni made him bluff CJ by casting a fake smile.
We just had a sort of introduction, then why so much of ado about her. I never felt anything like this for anyone else before. What am I to make of it? What is it this time? Is it love, infatuation or just desperation? Bury the Worry!!!
Attacking back into his room, Sid opened up his Facebook homepage, where online Avni had pinged a message, "Ahem ahem..."
Sid somehow refrained himself from disclosing his extraterrestrial feelings for her and asked, "What is ahem ahem?"
"Ahem Ahem means you are an undisputed IDIOT. Hehehe... Nothing, I just received your message today morning, saying I can't even imagine tears in your eyes. I don't know whether it's true or not. But I won't cry and definitely try to be happy from now onwards. Okay, IDIOT :-) :-P."
"And I am assuring you that you will be behaving happily in coming days. Forget the one who hardly cared about your feelings. You know what, pondering about the one who never cared for you is like craving for the toothbrush with sucked bristles which was never yours..."
"Hehehe.... I'll forget him. Damn sure... :-)," she promised.
"And you know what, you really do childish things. You are super-stupid," Sid said.
"Yepo! I know I am super-stupid.... ;-) "Avni teased, molesting herself by her own words.
"So, how will you guarantee you won't be creating Pacific Ocean at your home next time?"
"Pacific Ocean?! My stomach is not freaking reservoir to hold that much water. I don't drink that kilo-kilo-kilo-kilolitres of water every day... hehehehe..."
"Shut up!" Sid laughed out loud even planet Mars would have wobbled on its rotational axis from his laughing frequency, "I meant, what's the guarantee you won't weep next time?"
"You are with me, naa. So, I won't have any problem," she replied. All the female specimens on this entire planet, perhaps, on every planet, have an inbuilt strategizing molecule to buy guys with diplomatic answers.
"I hope you will not weep alone next time. Do remember me in such awesome times. We will hang around crying. :-P," Sid replied, activating all his internal flirt buttons installed by God. And they both began laughing carnival on their dumbest jokes. Cell-phone numbers got exchanged, and so were 'The' dumbest jokes ever phrased by mankind. When in college, this would be the first trademarked thing guys or gals would love sharing- their cell phone numbers, then their everyday schedule, then their feelings, then their... Ahh! Forget it, it's better to stop here...
Thenceforth, their talks went on escalating like escalating corruption in India. They had sowed the seeds of 'Friendship'. And Sid held her fingers through her way, to bring joy and vivacity back in her life to her heart's content.
"nooo... NO... NOOO!!!"

A scary nightmare shook him awake from his hypnotic sleep. It was the nightmare that he had encountered four months before. The nightmare wherein he witnessed a girl submerged under the ocean, as he looked at the fuzzy reflection of sun over the water and the blurry face of the girl underneath. Blurred Sun was fading away as the drowning breaths of girl were fading away surrendering to hell with every perishing second and Sid - Sid just could not do anything except witness her entering the radius of death.... All his perspiring face, escalating gasps, terrified eyes as always, could not make out anything off the horrible nightmare for the second time in the same year??
