Shrishti woke up from her nap in the evening and looked around suddenly. Why was she sleeping on the sofa? It took her a while to remember. She had come home from the lunch at Raghav's house and her stomach was so full that she collapsed on the sofa. She decided to relax in front of the TV for a while before heading to the bed to sleep the noon away but it seemed that she fell asleep in front of the TV. She chuckled before wondering what woke her up. She was sure that something woke her up suddenly. She looked around till she saw the blinking phone. She sighed and shook her head. She needed to remember to silence her phone when it was not in use.
Shrishti grabbed her phone and was surprised to see lots of notifications from the social media app. So many comments? Shrishti had not expected it. She expected two or three at most. She opened the app and checked right away. The butler passed by just then and asked if she wanted something and Shrishti asked for some tea while she read the comments. She waited for the tea and only perused the comments after she had the tea in her hand.
Most of the commenters were her classmates. Some seven comments total under the photos of her lunch, all of them some variation of wow and yummy. She scrolled through replying thank you before finding some very familiar names with different comments.
'Yummy. Yummy. Yummy. I tasted it too and it is delicious. The cook is amazing! ;P', read Arpit's comment and Shrishti rolled her eyes at the wink before chuckling at how enthusiastic Arpit sounded in the comments.
Just then a new comment came. It was from Daljeet.
'What would you know? It was Shrishti's lunch.' Daljeet seemed to be talking to Arpit.
'Of course, I know. I was there.', came Arpit's response.
Shrishti ignored them and scrolled down to see Shashi's comment.
'The presentation is nice. Did you eat outside? Which restaurant?'
Shrishti smiled as she replied, 'My friend cooked it actually.'
Daljeet commented on Shrishti's reply to Shashi, 'Friend? Really? Are they a good cook? Does the meal taste as good as it looks?'
'Dal and Bhindi was amazing. I loved it.', Shrishti replied as she checked the comments again. Nobody commented asking who the chef was. That was ok. Someone will ask someday. Till then she would keep taking Raghav's cooking's photos and posting them and praising them.
Just then Daljeet commented again, 'Now I want to try it.'
Pat came Arpit's reply, 'Come to my home and eat anytime.'
It was an innocent comment, a friendly invitation by a friend to another friend. But Shrishti could not help but see it in a very not innocent way. After all, she knew that in her earlier life, these two liked each other. Unable to resist from meddling, Shrishti grinned and typed under their comments.
'Hey! If you two want to flirt, do it on your own page.'
Shrishti giggled right after she posted it. That was fun! For few minutes, no new comments came. And then her phone pinged back to back as she got private messages from both Daljeet and Arpit. She began to laugh as she opened the messages and checked what they were saying. Daljeet seemed to be shouting, going by the caps.
'HEY!'
'WHAT ARE YOU TALKING?'
'NOBODY IS FLIRTING HERE.'
'STOP SPREADING NONSENSICAL RUMOURS.'
Shrishti giggled before typing, 'Hey! I said what I saw.'
'You are very bad friend. I don't want to talk to you.', Daljeet replied and Shrishti laughed again. Her laugh did not stop because she opened Arpit's messages and he seemed to be reacting the same way.
