Sameer picked up the phone in one ring.
"Hello" he said over the phone. over the next three minutes, we saw his facial expressions changing from Happy to excited to sad. Me and Ashish was still trying to figure out what was going on here and Biplav...Well, he was just lying on the bed, whispering on the phone while talking to his girlfriend in a language which we don't know...He called it Oriya language...but for us it seems like martian.
"I don't know about that, please try to..." Before he could complete his sentence, The call was disconnected from the other side. He just looked at his phone for a moment and then walked out of the room. Now this is a problem when you live a community life called 'hostel life'- you can't decide the line between things weather it should be shared or should be kept secret. similar situation was going on here. We weren't able to decide weather to ask Sameer about the phone call or not. We decided not to push the limits and left the idea.
After 5 minutes, Sameer came back into the room. We looked at him, he looked at us.
"It was a call from my dad" Sameer said. I knew that ultimately he would spill out the stuff. He can't keep anything secret...he is too sweet for that.
"So, anything to be worried about? We saw you walking out of the room in a bad mood" Ashish asked Amish.
"My brother just got a job" Sameer replied in a low voice.
"Wow dude that's fantastic, Congratulations...You must be pretty happy" Biplav, who was talking to his girlfriend got up from his bed and patted on Sameer's back. He should be happy...after all anyone would be happy to see the success of their siblings.
"No, i am not" Sameer said and looked at all of us... Everyone went silent in that room.
