Us Being Us (A Darshan Raval Fanfic)

L. Mumbai (Part 1)

Aisha's POV:

It was a month into the program. We learnt so much, explored Mumbai, had fun. I shared a room with the girls, of course. I walked to the door. Some idiot was knocking like a maniac. "Hi!" He said. "Aarav Paul? Riaan Shaw? What the hell are you doing here?" I asked, laughing. They were good friends of ours. We weren't as close with them as we were with the gang though. "We're here too," they grinned. I gestured them to enter and they greeted the girls. My phone rang. "Oooh, boyfriend alert," Riaan warned, playfully. I scoffed and picked the phone up. "Hi!" I cheered. "Well, how are you?" He asked, grinning. "What's it look like? I am great, and, look who I met," I said, switching the camera and showing his the boys' faces. "Hi!! Jyugal, look who's there," he said, pulling Jyugal towards him. I handed the phone to the boys and cuddled up in my bed. After around half an hour, the boys' gave me the phone. I switched to an audio call. "How is the place?" Darshan asked. "Well, amazing. I sent you pictures. I am having a lot of fun," I laughed. "I miss you so much. I miss sitting on the roof and eating ice cream. And kissing you," he whined. I could see him pouting. "I want to hug you," he murmured again in a baby voice. I laughed. "2 months more," I informed. He groaned and bid goodbye. I cut the call and went to bed, after booting Aarav and Riaan to their room. 

Next Afternoon:

We walked out of the dance class, to the coffee shop nearby. We sat down and Aarav and Riaan joined us. Niu called Jyugal and we spoke to the boys for a while. Till the problem arrived. Aman. This jackass who flirted with all four of us. "Hi, can join you?" He asked. "NO!" We yelled together. "Aqua?" Darshan called. "Dumpling, what's up?" I smiled. "Who is that?" He asked. "Oh, just a flirtatious jackass. Very annoying," I answered, glaring at Aman. "Are you four okay?" Sid asked and we nodded. "Boys, we both know how this is gonna end," I stated. They laughed and nodded. "What's so funny?"  Aman asked, angry now. "Nothing," we laughed, all 10 of us. "Okay, love you, Gabbu. We gotta go," I said. "Yeah, love you," the girls said to their respective boyfriends and cut the call. Aman was mad. This guy was more idiotic than Pratham. He was too touchy. "Niharika, Tara, Alisha? Who are you 3 dating?" Riaan asked. "Oh, I'm dating Hardik, Tara is dating Sid, Niu is dating Jyugal," Alisha smiled. "Toh group mein hi," Aarav laughed. We blushed. "You two? Happily single, huh?" Tara asked and they nodded, grinning. "Achha hai," Niu smiled. "Aisha, how many boyfriend-appointed nicknames do you have?" Riaan asked, raising an eyebrow. "Two. Ishu and Aqua," I smiled. "Aqua? Kyun?" Aarav asked. I shrugged. "And, you call him Gabbu and Dumpling, huh?" Riaan asked. I nodded. "Arre, haan. Tum log Juhu beach chale gaye? Nahi toh, kal chalein?" Aarav asked, throwing his head back. "Hum toh pichle hafte chale gaye the. Kal, we were thinking just a relaxing walk by Marine Drive. It is only 30 minutes from here. We can grab dinner, take a walk," Niu asked, raising her eyebrows. "AWESOME," we cheered together. My eyes widened as I realised Aman was sitting right there. Aman smirked and walked away. "Guys, we can't go to Marine Drive tomorrow," I whispered. "Kyun?" Alisha asked. "Aman. He was sitting right here. Now, unless you want to see me in prison, we are going somewhere else," I said. "Prison?" Tara urged. "For murder," I answered. "Okay, how 'bout we go to the new pizza shop downtown?" Riaan offered, mimicking my accent. I glared at him and he raised his hands in surrender. We agreed to the plan and went back to the rooms. 

This month was epic. I went to so many new spots, learnt more slang words. Wink-wink. But, I missed my home, my parents, the boys. It is okay, though. I am gonna go back in 2 months. I wanted to kiss Darshan, hug Mamma, and sleep in my room. Ugh!!
