‘Day twenty-three,’ said Sanchit as he placed a small bottle of Vodka and two
plastic glasses between him and Dhruv. ‘You should go talk to her.’
‘Why should I do that?’ Dhruv asked.
‘It’s better than counting days here.’
Silence engulfed them and soon they were drinking directly from the bottle.
Sanchit said, ‘This wouldn’t have happened if Raghuvir hadn’t left. He had
quite a shouting match with the dean before he left. But you shouldn’t be
concerned. You have Ritika, don’t you? The girl you’re never planning to leave?
The girl whose face you will wake up to every morning? The girl you will have
kids with? It’s Ritika, isn’t it? The ONE?’
Dhruv nodded.
‘Fuck off, Dhruv. You’re in love with her. That flickering light in the distance
—not that girl with an eating disorder.’
‘I’m not in love with her,’ mumbled Dhruv. ‘And as you said, she’s into
Raghuvir. Look at her. Just look at her mourning the absence of Raghuvir. How
fucking stupid is she? Why doesn’t she just get over it?’ If Raghuvir is who she
wants, Raghuvir is who she will get.
