Our Way Back

4. Save him from the clingy colleague

Vishal took the script from her and the brushing of their fingers made him alert in a way he never experienced, atleast he couldn't think of it if he did ever.

He didn't intend to check her out but ...she looked so elegant in her simplest attire...how could he not notice!

Rohit signaled her to start with what was on her mind. She was reading the script and so clearly explaining herself. Her voice bold and confident was sinking deep into Vishal's mind. The way she was trying to explain Sania her perspective and fighting hard with herself to keep her calm how could someone not notice all this.

Sania shifted closer to Vishal and said, " Hey Vishu, ummm I didn't get this scene actually can you explain this to me pls?!"

"You could ask Rohit or Advika, they know better!", he replied staying as neutral as possible.

"No, they won't answer properly you make me understand please!", She tried to say it in a pleasing way hoping for him to fall for her tactics. But Vishal knew better what he had to do.

"Ufff someone save me from this girl! Why is she so clingy!", He thought to himself and looked around to find a way to get rid of Sania!

"Sania just a sec I'll come back to you", Vishal excused himself and got up from there and sat beside Advika on the sofa she was sitting.

"Excuse me", said Vishal softly.
Advika just hummed in response to him as she was thinking something looking into the script.

"Advika...", Vishal called out her name in an attempt to get her attention.

"Can't you wait for a sec when someone is thinking", she replied irritated.
He was confused by her sudden reply because he didn't expect she would react like this but again it was her and he had fixed it in his mind now that she was 100% a weirdo!

"Oh sorry! I was just figuring out something and got disturbed so I lashed out!" Advika apologised realising the close proximity between them.

"Have you targetted me? Since the moment I came you are just saying something or the other to me that too in an irritated manner", Vishal asked her.

"No nothing like that it's just how I am... if you have a problem, you may go back to your previous seat", she replied a little rudely which she didn't want to but she did it anyway.

"Oh no please", Vishal said under his breath.

Advika looked at him suspiciously and said, "Why whats wrong?"

Vishal said trying to divert the topic, "nothing just ...umm were you telling something about the initial scenes?"

Advika replied with her sarcasm, "I am not dumb to not understand that you are changing the subject but it's okay I won't ask what I wrong between you and your friend/girlfriend!", after saying so she let out a giggle.

"Girlfriend? And her? Have you lost it or do you think I have such a bad taste", Vishal replied and he too giggled with her releasing the tension in their atmosphere.

"I am speaking with my observation okay, I am not blind to not see the PDA between you two." , she said looking at Sania

"London has very much affect on you or what", Vishal chuckled.

"Stop judging okay you are in no position to do that And I just thought cause it's very obvious", Advika said with which the smile which was previously on her face started to fade.

"Be a little more observant my dear, it's just her doing everything have you seen me respond", Vishal said mocking her.

"Okay whatever! Now are you gonna let me concentrate?! You can have your discussions with her!", She said knowing his answer very well.

Vishal whispered to himself, " Thats the whole point of talking to you it's difficult to handle her sometimes"

"Sorry What?", Advika said controlling her laughter as she heard very clearly what he said.

"huh? Nothing..", Vishal replied

"Don't tell I don't mind...but for your information, I heard it", she said letting out her laughter

"If you did hear it then you could have thought of helping me", Vishal replied looking at her with neutral expressions not because he didn't want to laugh with her but because he didn't want to waste a single moment to see her laughing wide.

"I did think but you didn't ask for help so why should I unnecessarily poke my nose into your matter", the wide smile didn't leave her face. It seemed as if she was enjoying every bit of teasing him.

"Wow so virtuous!", came his reply and Advika put on a simple smiling face closed her eyes for a few seconds and then said, "I know right"...saying so she went silent and kept looking at him while he was looking down at the script in his hand.
When he realised, she stopped  talking and he said looking at her,

"What?! Keep talking to me now!
Atleast pretend because I doubt you don't know how to talk normally", it was his turn now to chuckle at her.

But Advika was way too witty than him and she knew he could never win against until he used his most dangerous weapon which always made her go weak!

His innocent and cute little puppy face with a smile with tightly closed his lips together and formed a small dimple on his cheek.

She brushed these thoughts off her mind and replied to him, "Firstly, you are asking for help so have the courtesy to say "please" and secondly if I didn't know how to talk normally then I wouldn't be here sitting alongside you!", and with this she saw the expressions on his face which clearly said he didn't find a comeback to this.

"What is your problem yaar", Vishal replied knowing he was out of comebacks now!
