"You love Adi?!"
"Kya! I didn't say that!"
"Then what are you saying, Di."
Maithili's younger sister, Tanu asks in frustration as she stumbles forward and dives into her older sibling's bed. Maithili turns away from brushing her wet hair to see Tanu sprawled across her bed. A flashback of Adi doing the same thing enters her mind as she recalls when he had climbed into her room unwelcomed last night.
"Why do people love to jump onto my bed like they own it," she mumbles under her breath.
"Kya bola?"
"Oh, nothing."
She finishes brushing her hair and goes to sit next to a lazy Tanu, but first has to push her sister's feet away to make some room on the bed. She stops herself from completely pushing her off the bed because of what her sis had done for her the previous night.
"Hey thanks again, Tanu for covering last night. I was really scared that dad would be waiting for me this morning with a stick."
"Aw you're welcome Di. After all, what I said wasn't completely a lie because you were suppose to be at your friend, Lina's house all night. I just failed to tell dad that you changed your plans and were now going to a crazy and out of control party."
Maithili laughs a little at Tanu's interpretation of last night's events.
"Now all you have to do for me is…"
"Ah, here we go," Maithili rolls her eyes.
"Tell me exactly what happened with you and Adi," Tanu sits up.
"I told you nothing happened," Maithili rises her voice.
"I just got confused for a minute that is all, ok."
"Ah-huh."
Tanu's tone clearly conveys the lack of conviction she had on her Di's words. She had been anxiously waiting all morning for Maithili to show up and tell her about her event-filled night. Maithili had told her everything in great detail but when it came to certain parts like Adi blocking her from getting out of her chair and preventing her from slipping in the bathroom, Tanu noticed a clear feeling of uncertainty over her Di's face. Or was it confusion? Love? Nah.
"Ok, so you don't love him," Tanu finally says in conclusion.
"Thank you. Yes, I don't," Maithili says with relief.
"You're just confused about your feelings for him," she says in the same matter of fact tone as her prior statement.
"Yes. No! What?!"
An outraged Maithili steps off her bed and looks angrily at her soon to be sorry sis.
Just as Tanu is questioning her sis, Sharvan is also poking around at his cousin brother's answers.
"I don't believe you."
"Well it's the truth."
"Still don't believe you."
Sharvan sits on the sofa while shaking his head and a cushion hits him right in the face.
"Still don't believe me?" Adi sits on the sofa right opposite Sharvan with a smiling face.
"What is with you hitting me? Today is just not my day. First I get glared at and my sandwich gets ruined by that monster…"
"Hey! Watch it," Adi threateningly points a finger at his cousin.
"Ok. Ok," he throws his hands up in a surrendering position.
"Ruined by your monster girlfriend."
Adi considers the change of description and declares, "I could get used to that one."
"It sure as heck fits her," Sharvan whispers to himself.
"Said something?"
"Oh, no. No. No," he reaches back and touches his still bruised head.
"So Adi, nothing happened at all last night."
"Correct."
"But she was wearing your clothes."
"Maybe she just liked my clothes."
"Right, Maithili wanted to wear the 'Boys Rule' shirt," Sharvan fold his arms in disbelief and sarcasm.
"Well, she was just too angry for nothing to have happened."
"You obviously don't know Mets that well?"
"Oh, but you most certainty do know her huh?" Sharvan leans back into the sofa.
"What is that suppose to mean?" Adi raises an eyebrow.
"What you think I didn't notice the way you were egging her on to admit something?"
"Weren't you busy fiddling with her purse?"
"Yeah, and it's not like I have ears right?"
"Well then didn't you see she was about to break and spill her guts out?" Adi asks with an abnormal amount of enthusiasm.
"Oh. God. No."
Sharvan looks like he has been hit in the face with something a lot heavier than a cushion, maybe a bus.
"Di, calm down ok. And sit down would you," Tanu tries to get Maithili to retire from her standing position.
"First of all, I am not confused by Adi. I know exactly how I feel about him. He's my friend and I also hate him at times."
"Yeah that's not confusing at all Di."
"Shut up. Then tell me, since you're so smart, what you think."
"Sharvan? Yo, Sharvan!"
Sharvan snaps out of his trance and looks sadly at Adi.
"Why in the world are you looking at me like I am about to die?" Adi wears a very puzzled expression on his face.
"you wanted her to say something because you want her to feel something for you, yaar."
"Have you gone mental? Why would I want that?"
From their respective locations, Tanu and Sharvan both say simultaneously, "You like him, Di/You like her, bro."
A moment of disbelief passes over Adi and Maithili before they both yell back at their respective relatives, "No I don't!"
"Fine Adi. If you don't like her, then why has it been weeks since the last time I remember seeing you go out on a date?"
"Oh that's easy. You're blind!" Adi shouts at him.
"And you're in denial. I always thought you loved fighting with Maithili way too much, but I didn't know your case was this serious."
Sharvan starts shaking his head again.
"You know what. I need a break from your foolishness."
Adi grabs his keys from the table that lies in between the two sofas and heads for the door.
"Going to see her aren't you, Mr. Romeo," Adi's cousin yells out loud.
"Sharvan, I think you should tell your dad that you're going to need new headlights!" Adi yells back.
"Woah! No Adi! No!" he runs after his bro.
"Di! Di! Please open the door now. I said I'm sorry!"
Tanu's voice smashes its way through the locked door of Maithili's closet and enters her di's room.
"Dad is spoiling her too much. She says whatever she wants, whenever she wants. She thinks I like him? Him? As if, now stay in that locked closet until you change your mind," Maithili talks to herself as she paces around in her room.
BEEP! BEEP!
"Now what!"
Maithili peeps outside her window and sees an all too familiar car with an even familiar driver.
"I came to get my clothes back, sweetheart because I can't leave without my favorite shirt, but I forgot to bring a ladder this time," Adi stands firmly in her driveway next to his precious car.
Inside her room, Maithili sighs heavily as Tanu's voice climes in, "Ok I've changed my mind, Di. He likes you! He clearly likes you!"
