MUSICAL MASTI

It was already way past 1:00 am, but Anshuman couldn't get himself to sleep. He was still thinking about the other night when Kavita had left him high and dry.

He was also thinking about the kind of attention she was getting on social media. Insecurities about Pratik, Manoj and many others in her social circle festered like an abscess that had been ignored for too long. He simply had to make sure Kavita was not slipping away.

He quickly logged into his Instagram account and began typing out a DM to Kavita.

Every Night On Insta

I See You, I Feel You

Then I Get A Boner, So Strong

I Have Checked Your Stories

And Sent You Some DMs

But You Keep Me Waiting Too Long

Near...Far...Wherever We Are

It's Insane That The Lockdown's So Long

Fear Not, I'm Not Being A Twat

You Are Here In My Thoughts

And My Dreams Will Go On And On

Your Eyes Are So Alluring

Your Curves, So Enthralling

Lips Are So Beguiling, Oh Lord!

Hair Is Long And Silky

Your Skin, White And Milky

My Fantasies Are Kinky, Oh Lord!

Near? Far? Let's Meet In My Car

Why The Hell Is The Lockdown So Long?

Fear Not, I Won't Be A Twat

You Are Here In My Thoughts

And My Dreams Will Go On And On

Call Me Wherever You Are

I Don't Care If The Lockdown's Still On

Screw Fate, I Just Cannot Wait

We'll Be Safe In My Car

And The Night Can Go On And On

Kavita took more than five minutes to respond. "Babe...it's way past 1 in the night. Why the hell are you still awake?"

"I want you baby. Let's meet...right now!"

"Are you crazy? It's so late!"

"Please baby!"

"Relax baby...we'll meet tomorrow. Okay?"

"Really?"

"Yes baby! Now go to sleep!"

"Did you like it?"

"Like what?"

"The song I wrote?"

"Oh...that? It's cute."

"Aww...thank you dear."

"G'nite my love...Mmmwaah."

"G'nite Sweety."

Kavita smiled to herself. That was such a cute gesture. Yes, it was cringe-worthy and not very creative, but it was cute. She copied the entire write-up and pasted it on another DM window.

"What is this?" The response was quick and came across as bemused.

"Anshuman wrote me a song. Cute na?"

"This isn't a love song....this is a spoof song. Celine Dion will turn in her grave long after she's dead."

"Haha...I know, Manoj. But guess what...he wanted to bring his car below my place so that we could meet. And maybe even have some action."

"Hey...I have a car too!"

"So...you coming?"

"Be there in 10 minutes!"
