SO CALLED FRIEND

CHAPTER 52:

Next morning,

Sidneet woke up,did their respective morning chores and left for office. All the time, Avu was lost in her dreamworld or should I say Sid's world. She was continously smiling and walking with some files. Moments of yesterday night were roaming in her mind. Suddenly she bumped into someone making her come out of the thoughts.

Avu- I am sorry!

She bent down and started picking up her files.

Sm1- Its okay Avneet.

Listening to voice, she raised up her face to find Lucky. She picked the files and stood up.

Avu- Good morning sir!

Luc- I had asked u to call me by my name...right?! So why r u calling me sir?

Avu- Sorry but its against my professionalism...I can't call u by my name.

Luc- Then where did all of ur professionalism go when u call Sid by his name?

She stayed silent searching for an answer.

Avu- First of all I started calling him sir after so many days and next he had insisted me so much...even I am his assistant for which I interact with him most of time but its not the same with you..for me u are Sid's partner...that's it..

Luc- But I ask u to call me sir. So u hv to..

Avu- But-

Luc- Plz Avneet!

Avu thought that its useless to argue with him.

Avu- Fine..'Lucky'

She said emphasizing 'Lucky'.

Avu- Excuse me!

She started going away from his side when he held her arm.

Luc- Wait! Where were u lost??

Avu- Me? Ummm....just thinking about a project..

Luc- Which project?

Avu- U don't need to know it! Its a Nigam project....and I don't think I should tell it to stranger.

Luc- Stranger? It's been over a month we know each other.

Avu- Doesn't matter!

Luc- U can tell me yaar! Sid won't feel bad..

Avu- Then go and ask him! Okay ? Now plz excuse me!

She freed her arm from him and left for Sid's cabin.

She entered the cabin where Sid was already present. She wasn't aware about his presence till now. She was irritated with Lucky 's talks. Sid saw her and turned towards her.

Sid- Good morning!

Avu(Irritated voice)- Good morning!

That's when she realized that Sid was present there. She raised her head to look at him. She looked at her watch confused.

Sid- Ahh! Don't worry..u aren't late...I am early.

Avu- On acha!!

She kept the files on the table with a thud and sat on the chair keeping her elbow on the table with an irritated face.

Sid got up from his seat going towards her.

Sid- What happened to you? Why do u sound irritated?

Avu- That Luc-

She realized what she was going to say and stopped immediately. She looked towards him who was looking at her with eyebrows raised.

Sid- Luck? What luck?

Avu- Luck? I was thinking about good luck and bad luck...sometimes I feel I hv very good luck...sometimes that turns into bad...so I was talking about that...

She said falsely laughing.

Sid- Ya ya...as if I believe you.

She immediately stopped laughing.

Sid- Batao kya baat he?

She remained quiet.

Sid- Avni??Tell me!

Avu- Woh..

Sid- Hmmm..

Avu- Woh tumhara so called friend cum business partner...he is so irritating...like he was agian and again forcing me to call him by name..arey agar mujhe nahin bulana toh nahin bulana he...itna force karne ki zaroorat kya he ?! Like seriously, usse zyada irritating insaan mene aj tak dekha hi nahin he...huh!

Sid was shocked by her outburst.

Sid- Arey its okay-

Avu- No,its not! He's damn irritating.

Sid sighed but smiled seeing her grumpy face.

He held both the hand supports of her chair and turned towards him. She still had that cute angry face.

Sid- Yahan mera mind sirf aur sirf kal raat ke thoughts se bhara he aur tum ho ki uss Lucky ke baare me soch rhe ho!

Avu's angry face was slowly getting replaced by blush. The moments of last night again started flashing before her.

Sid raised her face using his index finger. She looked towards him with a tint of blush on her cheeks. 

Sid shifted his gaze towards her lips and so did he. Sid leaned towards her. They were very close to each other when thr door opened revealing Lucky. Sidneet left each other with a jerk. Lucky didn't see them in the close position.

Luc- Good morning guys!!

Sid- Um..Good morning Lucky.

Luc- All Good?

Sid- Yeah..

Sid went and sat on his seat and Lucky sat on the chair that was beside Avu.
