AZHAIPAAYAA AZHAIPAAYAA? : 3

Sitting in the bus on the way home from college, she pulled the phone she had hastily stuck in her bag earlier in class that day. She clicked on the message app, clicked his conversation where he had sent the last message wishing her luck, clicked on the number on top, navigated to Info, took a deep breath, clicked on Create New Contact and saved the number as Mr. I don't have a PhD. Exiting the contact screen, she turned on her playlist, stuck the earphones in and looked out the window. She felt a weird calmness surround her even when Karthik's voice flowed in her ears from a cute song in her playlist.

Three weeks later after a long day out with friends, she came home late only to be scolded by her mother for being irresponsible. She wasn't even affected by her mom's words, for all she wanted was to go to her room and text a certain someone. Pacifying her mom and promising to let her know if she was running late in the future, she went in her room and shot the text.
