Chapter Ten

"You met him," Lavanya asked, shocked.

Khushi nodded and sat down on her bed, getting comfortable.

"And?"

"And what?"

"And did you two talk?"

"Yeah...?"

"Well, what did he say."

"Not much," and Khushi told her their conversation.

Lavanya slapped her forehead. "Arre yaar! You forgot the most important thing!"

"What?"

"Toh's real name!"

"Oh." Khushi scratched her head. "I never thought of that."

Lavanya groaned and fell back on her bed. "Of course you didn't."

"So? ... so what?"

"Dude!" She sat up and grabbed her pillow, hugging it. "He's sooo HOT!"

"Lav, you're losing it!"

"Hey! I'm just saying! Geez! Besides, remember how he was looking at you at thewedding?"

"That's cause he didn't know me."

"As if! I saw the way he was looking at you Kush, 'Kay? I know guys really well."

"Oh? You do, do you?"

"Yes. I've had guys following me back in NYC. Aii? So I know these things."

"And you've dated?"

"Uh, yeah!"

Khushi shook her head.

"Shut up! Now trust me, I know how guys are and there is something bound to happen between you and Toh."

"With Toh?"

"Uh huh."

"Really?"

"Absolutely, posilutely!"

Khushi gave her a face and chuckled. "You sound like my mom."

"It's true Kush! Be it me who's saying it, or Kinjal saying it. Watch. Just watch."

"Fine then."

"Good." Lavanya grabbed her iPhone and unlocked it, going to her calendar.

"What are you doing?"

"Keeping this date as a reminder."

"Meaning...?"

"MEANING, we'll always remember this day. One day when something does happen between you and Toh, we will go back to this date. Let's see how long it takes for you and Toh to come together."

"This is ridiculous."

"Today's October 30. From this date, we'll see how long it takes till you two are together."

"Like I said, this is ridiculous."

"Ridiculous now but momentous for the future."

Khushi rolled her eyes and got ready for bed, as well as Lavanya. As Khushi laid in the dark, snuggled in her blanket, she wondered about Toh.

It was weird how they met and how things had been going for them. It's weird how even though they've met several times, she still didn't know Toh's name. He seemed like a nice guy and... something was weird. What? She didn't understand, but she figured something was up.
