IT HAS TO BE HIM

@rudradesaimusic

hmm

I stare at the three-lettered reply for a second before scoffing out loud.

@notkrishnakumar

Hmm?!

I give you all this info and all I get in return is a hmm?

@rudradesaimusic

what do you expect me to say?

@notkrishnakumar

Whatever.

I’m not surprised.

@rudradesaimusic

not surprised by what?

@notkrishnakumar

By the fact that you’re such a dry texter

@rudradesaimusic

not everyone is as upbeat as you, sunflower

I peek at Rudra and find him smiling. My stomach literally swoops at the nickname, but now is not the time!

@notkrishnakumar

What do we do about it? Priti is going there tostopthis wedding!

@rudradesaimusic

nothing, if you’re right it’s priti’s call

we can’t do anything to stop her

@notkrishnakumar

So we do nothing? And let Priti get away with attempting something so reckless? How is this not bothering you more?

@rudradesaimusic

how is this botheringyouso much?

what priti does doesn’t really affect your plans

I pause for a moment, recalling suddenly that Rudra would, in fact,notbe keen on Priti getting back together with Soumyaroop. I think back to our conversation in the Sinhas’ bedroom.
