This one is for you.

Another call, but the same question.
“How are you now? Did you eat something? This is way past your dinner time, did you even eat?”
I reply in a negative.
This vexes the other party, annoys the receiver to the most. Why wouldn’t you eat, you are sick, you need to recover soon, for that you need to eat.
I just defy that with my silence.
I am coming, wait for few minutes, and I will be there.
I deny. Deny to the utmost. No, no please don’t come. It is not at all necessary. In fact I am about to sleep, so it is useless of you coming. Please, do you hear me, don’t come. Rather you yourself dine, have something, you are already sick yourself. I don’t want you to get any worse. Do you get me?
The phone goes off!
I crawl into my bed, trying to sleep. Almost half asleep, there’s a call. Maybe two rings, it goes off. I don’t pay a heed. I sleep. Then there is a noise, horn blowing for few minutes. I wake up, move towards my window, to see who is the one doing such stupid act at this time of night. But, to my dismay, I forgot to put on my glasses, I could see nothing. The fact is I am near to blind without my glasses. So, I first had to sort out where did I keep them, got a hold of it, then I wore it, checked my phone, just to realize it was him!
Damn! I call him back. Call at his place. No one receives the phone. His cell phone calls switched off.  Then, I get another call, from an unknown number, without a second thought I pick it up. It’s him!
“What are you doing at this time around this place?”
“Can you please get down? I am outside your house.”
“What? Why? Why would you do that?”
“Can you please get downstairs?”
“Sure”

Another note of surprise, he got me dinner.
I was awestruck
I am confused, whether to call him romantic or stupid.
 Whether to pull him and embrace him or to push him to go back!
There again I failed him in reciprocating enough,

While he excelled in surprising me to the most. J
