STORIZEN CONTRIBUTE
PART 3
So again my mood
dipped down in a
spiral.
“You find me cute?”I
asked, to confirm what
I had just heard.
“No, not you,” she said
and laughed.
Girls! If there is no
third person here, and
she didn't say that for
me, then what did she
mean??
My confusion must
have been evident on
my face because she
clarified immediately.
“You accepting and
confessing that you
were homesick, that is

the first time I saw her.
Varun was amused at
the way I had pursued

him, it was very unlike
me, and so she must
be really special.
“But what about Mr.
Nasty?”I asked him.
“Looks like he is the
villain not just in my
work life but my love
life as well”.
“Don't make
assumptions, maybe
he is just being nice to
her or maybe they are
friends from before”,
Varun suggested.
Varun makes sense
only when he is drunk.
