TWELVE

I get home and tell Mum about the plan and am surprised by her reaction. She is okay with me going to Sameer’s place in the middle of the night, and partying till the morning. She apparently knows Sameer’s parents and said she doesn’t have a problem with me spending the night at their place if all my other friends are there.

She said she’d just speak with Sameer’s parents to confirm, so I tell her it’s a surprise, at which point she assures me she’ll ask Sameer’s parents to not tell him. I call Ada and ask if we could tell Sameer’s parents about the midnight surprise and she said she’d have to check with Tisha, so we get Tisha on conference, who goes all of course we can tell them, duh, who do you think is going to let us in and arrange everything if not his parents?

So I tell Mum she can call Sameer’s parents, which she does, while I have dinner with Dad, watching an IPL match on the TV, where the Chennai Super Kings are kicking some Pune Warriors butt. Dad is very much into cricket and keeps track of all the matches taking place. This season of IPL began the day after I woke up from my coma and, watching the matches with Dad, I’ve begun taking a real interest in it.

Ada calls and I answer, picking up my empty plate from the table and taking it to the kitchen sink with the other hand. ‘Hey.’

‘Hi, be ready by like 11.30. Bharat will come pick you up and the rest of us will meet you at Sameer’s place,’ she says quickly, like she’s in a rush.

‘Sounds fine.’

‘And don’t bring the gift.’

‘What? Why not?’

‘We won’t have time to arrange it or anything. We can do gifts in the evening.’

‘Umm, okay then.’

‘Cool, see you then. I’m so excited!’ and excited she sounds.

‘Me too,’ I mutter, meaning it a little. Hanging out with my friends isn’t exactly fun, but I can see myself settling down and making a place of my own amongst them. The only problem is that Bharat is too busy and Kapil can’t hang with us while Tisha’s there, which is always. I don’t like Tisha. Which leaves just Sameer and Ada, both of whom are Tisha’s BFFs and always by her side. Kind of difficult to build my place in the group, but I can try.

They’re all always saying it’ll be so great once I get my memory back. They talk about my past as if it was an intensely fun, never-ending series of really happening parties and like we were all a tight-knit group, with especially Tisha and I being inseparable. No shit. Going by the stories they tell me, we were practically inseparable. And I try extremely hard, but I. Just. Can’t. Picture. It.

At 11.35 p.m., I get a text from Bharat and make my way downstairs. It takes us fifteen minutes to get to Sameer’s place. Once we’re parked, we join Kapil, Ada and Tisha near the elevator.
