Chapter 1
Naveen's POV
I was bored out of my mind. Didn't know what to do sitting idle and being in the house all day sometimes got me mad. taking away any thought that is reassuring or positive at all.
"Hmm.. what should I do" I thought to myself and remembered that one of my friends told me about the dating app what was the name again? I texted Maheen
"Yo"
"Han" (yes)
"Yaar what was the name of the dating app? I'm bored Af"
"Bumble. Heh I told u 😏 "
"Niklo na bai" (go away)
I was so out of things that i wanted to try something new, and, it wasn't necessary for her to know that she maybe my good friend, but she doesn't have to know the extra detail of my life; not that I don't share things with her, don't get me wrong, I love her. it's just that ,that's how I am I don't overshare that's it.
Installing the app i was just sitting idle on the sofa and waiting.
Sometimes things get tough when you don't know how to be productive and you're just lazing around for over a year. Not that I'm complaining about being home. I love it here, but, it's a lot. without being able to have a consistent routine it messes you up you start to lose your sanity. That's what I think others may have their own opinions and they might differ as well although I would love people to disagree, it's fun having healthy arguments.
Setting up the app to bff mode as I wasn't interested in relationships 🙃 but sike! it had to be the other way nothing was interesting in that corner of the app, it was all too basic. I tried to talk to 1 or 2 people they were dry and I decided to switch the mode to Date mode "What a day to be alive" I thought sarcastically. Sighing I decided to further explore the app.
I mean having Healthy and neutral arguments actually helps you with new ways of thinking, alongside learning new things.
Meanwhile, I liked a guy like really hot but cute at the same time "Stop simping bruh just go with the flow" Yeah that's my inner voice hehe. Kay sorry hon.
I swipe right and answer the question that is mutually asked to start up a convo. Lol, it's for introverts as well. The name of the guy was Shehriyaar Saeed and his interest was traveling, idek if he travels for real or just a desire stated. "Umhm, too soon to judge someone like this Naveen".
While stalking him I found out he travels and was an empath. he also Loves to read and has a CAT and with that I decided to be a nice person. Yes, you must be thinking a fake one huh? Don't we all do this type of sh*t now? We switch our personalities unconsciously without noticing until someone else makes us realize this, that's what I have to say in my defense. Also, he was looking for something casual.. hmm... I can talk about this later on.
As I was waiting for the answer, I was called by my mighty mum to do the dishes "Ah! The dishes " giving her a "coming" as a reply, I connected my phone to the charger and went downstairs for the chore I was assigned to, and yes I'm using sarcasm by using formal language please don't mind.
Well let's get it done before I'm assigned to another responsibility that I am not mentally prepared for but yes will agree anyway. Sometimes I wish we all would use disposable cutlery so that no one would have to wash the dishes it's one thing I loathe. It would be such a relief if people should make disposable cutlery free they should. I even think the government should take the initiative regarding this. Finally, I'm done with these monsters as my mum says
"Bartan or kapray jitnay zyada jama hutay jaye wo utnay baray jin ban jaty hain"( The more dishes and clothes gathered, The bigger monster they become)
[ writers note: idk if it makes sense or maybe I failed to translate it right help me out, people]
Meanwhile, I was called out again to prepare something for lunch see I told you I would be assigned another task and my goal was yet unachieved
No.1: I successfully failed the task to avoid more tasks.
No.2: As I climbed upstairs and checked my phone there was still no reply. SAD. I should seriously work on my phone obsession other wise i would be one of the robotic people they show in cartoons.
So my initial thought was to explore more of the people and I did that and found a new friend, mind it, he was convinced we were meant to be friends, ngl this made me laugh. But enough with the people, I put my phone down and focused on task two: Dinner preps.
I decided to make pasta for lunch today a perfect Desi recipe as I was lacking the sauce so yes the common paki recipe is usually used to make pasta I just added one thing cheese a lot of it there's no fun in eating Italian without cheese wait pasta is Italian right? Idk, I don't care.
The ping of my phone caught my attention. I recently got in Bahria University the fact that me and Maheen got admission at the same time was cool but in different departments was a down side.
It got me thinking that maybe it would be difficult for us from now on to meet but hey that's life. Right? Moving on is the best option. Also, if you want to have betterment and achieve your purpose you leave things and people behind, most would disagree with me but these are basics that were never taught to us.
It's not like we would cut off each other it's just that we wouldn't have the same connection anymore, but guess what a new beginning is ahead and I'm excited!
