Ughh!!

Shristi slowly opened her eyes at sound of phone ringing..

She quickly glanced at clock kept at her bed side cupboard. It was 3:00 am.

"Who can it be?? It's possibly some creep"  she thought and didn't care to check the name..

An annoyed groan escaped her mouth when it rang again. She switched the lamp on again and check the name this time.

' SHREYAS ' it showed.

She furrowed her eyebrows.." Why is he calling now.. What does he want now?? " She thought and picked it up

Shristi POV

" What? " I asked being heavily annoyed I hate someone disturbs my sleep for no reason.

" Sorry for calling at this unearthly hour..... " I didn't let him finish.. I wasn't interested in any crap..
" Shreyas it's 3am .. What do you want? "
I said cutting him off.

There was an awkward silence for some seconds... Why did he call me?? To pass time??

" I love you "  He said.

I chocked on my own breath.. Did he just proposed me??

No no no... It can't be right?

" What? " I asked again.. Just to make sure that my ears aren't ringing

" I Love You " He said . Again.
I really wasn't sure if it was dream or things were happening for real. I failed to distinguish them anymore.
I was whizzing..
My nerves weren't in my control anymore, my heart thumping against my chest so loud that I can hear it clear.

People say they feel butterflies in their stomach in these situation. I felt nauseous..

" Hello.. You there? " He asked but I wasn't in a place to answer. I hung up .

I rushed to bathroom and took a deep breath to fill my constricted lungs again.

After a few breath ins and outs I felt okay. I looked at my face it was red as tomato .. The thought if Shreyas proposing me made me giggle like a little school girl . I wiped a few happy tears which trickled down my cheeks.

Then the gravity the situation hit me!

Shreyas proposed me.. And I hung up without saying anything.

I am such an asshole.

Shreyas's pov

Did she hung up just like that??

Without saying anything!

How will I sleep now? Oh my god. Proposing her at night was really bad idea.

What if she is asleep again??What if she didn't really heard anything??

What if she doesn't wanna talk to me anymore..??

When I was contemplating on whether to call her again or not.. My phone rang . .

I looked at the caller ID  .. It was ' Shristi'

With sweaty plams I picked up my phone  ..

" Sorry for hanging up like that.. " She said breathing heavily

" I.. It's okay.. I possibly have startled you.. I understand " I said.
Why the fuck did it Stutter?? God !

" Yeah you did startle me.. I was sleeping peacefully and you called so yeah.. " She trailed off..

" Anyways .. Let's get to the point.. I guess we should meet once you back from the tour and talk about these things " She said calmly

" Why can't we talk about it over phone??" Shreyas asked being confused by her answer

" Because we have a lot to talk..everything can't be done over phone.. And I really don't want our personal matter to be a hindrance for your career . So play all the matches with a clear head , help the team win all the series and once you come back we will sort this out " She said. Shreyas could feel her smiling on the other side of the phone .

" So .. I don't get an answer now? You gonna keep me hanging like this? " He asked faking some anger

" Stop your Nautanki Shreyas!! It's best for both of us.. You know that too " She chuckled.

Shreyas couldn't disagree.. Shristi.. It was better to keep this proposal to hold till they meet again.
" Yeahh.. You are right " Shreyas sighed.

" I know . Now sleep and let me sleep " Shristi smiled

" Good night.. " Shreyas said

" You should say Good morning.. It's 4:30 in the morning..Bye " Shristi chuckled and after that they hung up.

________________

I personally believe that proposals should be face to face so I am holding onto 'Shristi's' answer for a while ..

Till then...

Bye Bye
