Chapter 6: A Friend Request
The encounter with Max the Mystery man was enough to shook Mishika's heart and mind completely.
After getting done with the election day, Mishika and her squad leaves for the bakery which was behind their college.
Everyone is talking and laughing. Zeeva and Sakshi are busy in telling Sarah of their little discovery of mystery man's name.
While Mishika is busy with her train of thoughts. She is with them physically but her mind is wandering far away with what happened.
Mishika is still having that feeling of butterflies in her stomach when her eyes met with Max's.
"It was amazing right Mish?" Sakshi asked laughing.
"Oh what? Yeah it was amazing." Mishika replies in confusion.
"Where are you madam? Do you even know what we are talking about?" Sarah ask with questioning eyes.
"Sorry girls I was not able to sleep last night so I am bit absent today you know." Mishika answers nervously smiling.
Zeeva was smart enough to notice something is wrong with Mishika. Afterall they have developed a bond.
"I am tired too. Let's go back to home now girls." Zeeva yawns.
Mishika knows that Zeeva is only acting.
After a few fake attempts, Sarah and Sakshi agree to go back to home.
Zeeva's home is the first one to reach on their route and Sakshi's home is in the different direction from there.
When they bid their goodbyes to each other and Sakshi left for her home. Zeeva shout Mishika's name to stop her from leaving.
"Hey what's up with you? You don't look well after election." Zeeva ask with concern.
"Me?? No I am absolutely fine. You know sleep is important for me more than food." Mishika tries to be funny.
"You know you can tell me anything Mish." Zeeva still has concern in her voice.
Mishika hugs her while saying goodbye to her.
AT HOME -----*
Mishika is too tired to do anything. She enters her room and her bag goes flying down on the floor.
"Ahhh God what a day!!" Mishika sighs.
She washed her face and changed her clothes. But not for a single moment, that scene went away from her mind.
"Alright! It's enough now. Why am I even paying too much attention to this encounter. It was nothing major right?" Mishika ask herself.
She lie down on her bed and try to sleep but her sleep is not coming at all.
Mishika wants to sleep or atleast do something to take her mind off of that encounter.
She pulls out her phone from her bag and open facebook.
"Let's see what's happening here today." Mishika scrolls down the feed.
It's the time for the election result to come out. Unfortunately the party she is supporting to didn't win.
"Aw! that's sad. I was hoping for them to win."
Mishika and her squad formed bit of a friendship with the people who were in that political party.
She keep scrolling through facebook until she stops abruptly on a name.
It's "Max Buyers"
Mishika's eyes again goes wide. She starts feeling goosebumps on her hands.
"I am not even watching a horror movie and my body is shaking like this because of a name only."
Mishika is really confused about what's happening with her.
Max's name was on the suggestion list to add on facebook.
"Should I send him a friend request? No I shouldn't. But I won't lose anything if I send a request."
Mishika is having this conversation in her mind with herself.
After 10minutes she finally gather her courage and click on the 'Add Friend's option.
"I am adding him on facebook to tease Sakshi and nothing else." Mishika says to herself while making an excuse.
Some Time Later That Day
Mishika just entered her room after having her dinner when her phone's screen light up.
There is a notification. Mishika take the phone and unlock that in a hurry.
It's from the facebook. "Max Buyers has accepted your friend request."
Mishika jaw dropped off and the phone slipped from her hand. Luckily phone fell on the bed.
"He accepted my friend request." Mishika's mouth still wide open.
No no no! It's just a friend request. It's not a big deal. We are not gonna talk to each other." Mishika laughs nervously.
To add to her nervousness, her facebook messenger beeps.
She look at her phone in horror. There is a message from Max Buyers, "Hey!!"
Mishika's mind goes numb. Her hands are sweaty.
"I must be dreaming. How could it be possible that he is texting me." Mishika pulls her hair in pony nervously.
After taking some minutes to cool down, Mishika replies casually, "Hi there!"
She is waiting for a reply desperately. A minute feels like an hour to her.
Finally a message pops up on the screen.
"Do we know each other?" Max ask causally.
Mishika was already nervous and now this kind of message has peaked her nervousness.
"Oh well no ofcourse not. We are in the same college and you are my senior." Mishika replies.
"That's great! I think I saw you today right?" Max ask.
Mishika is so shocked to know that he remembers her. But then if he remembers that he must remember the awkward moment from election and the other day also.
Mishika replies calmly, "Yeah I guess so."
Mishika is usually a very talkative girl but today she is lacking the words.
She don't know what to say but one thing that she knows very well is that she don't want this conversation to end.
"So tell me something about you." Mishika ask
To her wonder, the answer was not what she is expecting.
"Can we talk on Whatsapp?" Max ask genuinely.
Mishika doesn't know what to say. It was out of the course and completely unexpected.
"Oh is there any problem in talking here?" Mishika ask nervously.
"No its just that I don't use it much." Max replies.
Mishika's feet are not on ground anymore. She is flying with happiness.
But before she could reply Max with her number, another message come from Max.
"801******* this is my number."
"Well that was fast." Mishika laughs to herself.
She immediately save the number with name Max and message him instantly.
"Hey Mishika this side."
"Hey okay your number is saved here now." Max replies with a hint of charm.
It was the first time Mishika is blushing. Blushing because of a message from a guy.
Mishika and Max talked for an hour and this became the best conversation and best night of Mishika's life.
They bid good night to each other and after two night Mishika finally fall asleep tonight.
