The morning felt unusually quite,
Ivan sat on the sofa, trying to process the things happened earlier, calming himself.
" Should I call her now ? " The question echoed in his mind, leaving him confused.
" Anyways, lemme go and fresh up first , then I will call her "
he turns off his phone and then heads towards the bathroom.
We see maria in her room , cursing ivan while brushing her hair
" I called him 9 times! What the hell is he even doing ? "
Questions herself angrily , she continues..
" Also i don't think he is sleeping right now , it's literally 11am !!! Ok so even if he was sleeping this late , i called him 9 times!!! Is he dumb or something?? , anyways I'm should hurry , it's already late for me , jasmin must be waiting for me ."
Arranges her things .
Ready to leave for shopping
" Ok mom , I'm going "
" Alright , but come back soon ok "
Her mother said
" Okok , don't worry about me "
Arranges her things .
Ready to leave for shopping
She leaves the house , yet she was worried about Ivan , her thoughts stayed with him.
After walking a few hundred metres, she sees jasmin Waiting for her at the front gate of her house with her arms crossed , tapping the ground with her foot
" Oh there she is " jasmin sees maira crossing the road
" I wish a car hits her , she made me wait for so long ! "
"Hey,, Jasmin, I'm sorry for being late, hope you understand "
Jasmin didn't reply anything for a moment
" Is something wrong?" Maira questions
"Oh no no, I was just worried about you"
"About me? Why?
"Seeing you running in this traffic made me worried..., please be careful next time ok "
"Aww that's so sweet of you,. Ok I'm sorry to make you worry, Anyways let's go shopping"
The shopping mall wasn't far, so they decided to walk.
After ten minutes, they reached the mall. Inside, they browsed through clothes, makeup, and other things.
"Maria, we've done enough shopping. I think we should head home now."
Jasmin held two large bags in her hands.
"They're already so heavy… I can't carry them anymore,"
She complained ~
" Umm? Oh wait i think i should buy something for Ivan too "
" Ivan ? Who's tha- , ohh your boyfriend,now i remember that you have a boyfriend too , hahhahaa "
Jasmin laughed
" What's so funny ? " Maria questions
Maria seemed a bit angry and confused here
" No no , I mean like why you always? Also isn't he just a broke guy ? You always say that , I brought him this , i brought him that , but you never said that he gifted you or brought you something!! Why is he even your boyfrie- " even before expressing her thoughts
"Shut the fuck up!" Maria snapped.
"I just mean… he doesn't deserve you."
"Don't say a word about him," she said, her voice low but firm.
"You don't know anything about him. So don't act like you do. He is going through so many things " she adds
"If I continue, it'll only make things worse," she thought.
"Alright, Maria… I'm sorry."
"Okay… fine."
Her tone was still sharp, the anger not fully gone.
Without another word, Maria turned and walked out of the mall, a quiet heaviness following her.
"Maria stop! Where are you going ?" Jasmin tried to stop her but she didn't even flinch
" You forgot to buy him something didn't you ? " Even this time maria just walked away .
Jasmin stood there in silence
Back to Ivan
" SHIT! I forgot to call her back "
He takes his phone and rings the call
Rings,
Once
Twice
She picks up
" Maria , I was sleeping back then and later I had some work to do , so i couldn't call you back , I'm so sorry "
" It's fine , bye " The very next moment she ends the call
" Huh ? She ended it ... She seemed quite angry as well... Damnn I guess I made her angry" He started blaming himself for something he wasn't responsible for.
" Anyways I will talk with her after she is clam. For now lemme go and buy the medicines for father"
He headed out and brushes the dust of snow from his bicycle.
After buying the medicines he comes back to his house and calls maira again.
Rings
But this time she didn't pick his call
Ivan worried about it " what the- , she isn't picking my call ? No way "
He calls her again but same result this time too
No answer
