Soul Sisters

10. The night drive

PoV- Meerab Aly

Ayaan lowered the glass and looked at us,
"I won't mind if you ask me for a lift"

"No Thanks!" Meerab said while I  simultaneously agreed saying, "Yes, Ofcourse!"

Ayaan looked at us and then slightly chuckled.
"Wow, i didn't knew Cherry queens would disagree upon something."

Meerab & I quickly glanced each other and then Meerab raised her brows,
"Why does it bother you, Mr?

"Ofcourse it matters."

"Oh, How so?" Meerab inquired ready to take an interview in the middle of the night on the road. I shushed Meerab and quickly opened the car door and got inside, while Meerab stood sticked to the ground, looking at me with the most beautiful questioning face ever.

"Come on, Ms Khan ab aa bhi jao." Said Ayaan with last ray of hope in his eyes and I chuckled following Meerab's scoff.
She reluctantly got inside, glaring at me and I ignored her the whole first 5 minutes.

" Jubin or Arijit?" Asked Ayaan after a good silence.

"Arijit" Meerab quickly said but still i managed to say, "Jubin"

"Haha, looks like you both have a serious problem on agreeing with each other."

"How could you say that? You know nothing about us, Okay?" Meerab was quite quick defending him.

Ayaan turned towards me to utter, "Your friend is a whole mood." Which gained him only something he never wants from Meerab in return, Ignorance. I looked at him signing to shut up and then pointed towards Meerab. Ayaan was trying so hard to get attention from Meerab, but she in return only gave him a thumbs down every time. It was a Fantastic popcorn drama. At last, Ayaan played one of Arijit's song, and even starting humming and vibing to it,

"Khairiyat pucho, kabhi to kaifiyat pucho, tumhare bin deewaane ka kya haal hai."

He dramatically sang the lyrics matching with the tune, his gaze fixed on the rear view mirror, where he could perfectly get glances of his Meerab Khan. Meerab looked at him at once and then looked away quickly without any expression on her face. It was however enough to bring a smile on Ayaan's face.

The rest of the ride went well, Ayaan dropped both of us without another ruckus thankfully.

Pov- Meerab Khan

"The theme is, Red and golden....Yes please can you arrange it today before the dawn?" Urghhh! I cut the call with frustration. There is no one who could help us in the decoration for Meerab Aly's birthday? I wish I'd given them an order earlier.

"Farah, Can you do something, Dude?" I asked her with 0 energy. But she ignored me, ofcourse who would listen to a friend when you have your own fiancee to chat with.

"Who's gonna help me now?" I said in a low yelling voice so as to not disturb the office atmosphere.

"I can listen to your whispers too, you know."

I quickly turned back hearing to a familiar voice, just to find Ayaan looking at me with a smile and raised hands.

"As always, Ms Khan, I wouldn't mind helping you, What say?"

"Huh! I'll rather take help from Meerab herself for her birthday decorations instead of taking any help from you"  I murmured under my breathe and gave him a slight smile.

"Tch, Tch, Tch...Ms Khan, I told you, I can listen to your whispers too, so there's no need to speak under your breathe, You could have refused me loudly instead. But i know, you won't do so."

"Oh, Your highness, Can i ask you the reason for thinking so?"

"Simple, You don't want to see my sad face. You already know if you refuse me I'd become disappointed and it would make you feel sad. After all, We're friends and business partners, Hehe." Ayaan said with his usual smirk. Urgh! I wish I could punch him on his face right now.

"Let's come to the point, What can you do Mr Ayaan?"

"Anything for you,, Ms Khan" He replied, grinning with his brows raised.

"Fine! Help me with the decorations."

"Hello, Media! Headlines for today,
Meerab Khan surrendered before the great Ayaan, ....Just Wow! "

"Oh, Please, Shut up! Will you?"
