Chapter 20

Next day

In afternoon, Vaish came to meet Avni. Avni was already irritated because she was missing Sid to another level. Vaish came and saw Avni was lost in her thoughts. No doubt, she seemed sad which Vaish understood in a go.

Vaish: Kaisi hain madam?

Avni (fake smile): Main theek hoon.

Vaish: Lag to nahin raha.

Avni: Nach ke dikhau to lagega?

Vaish (dramatically): Baap re baap. Tere Bhai ki aatma tujhme ghus gayi kya?

Avni (confused): Hmm?

Vaish: Means dekh sweet and cute Avni humari aaj apne bhai ke tarah naak lal kar baithi hain. Aesi kya baat hain?

Avni realised her tone was bit rude. She was frustrated because of Sid but her anger came out on Vaish.

Avni: I am so sorry yaar. Mujhe aese baat nahin karni chaye thi. I am sorry. I am sorry.

Vaish: Calm down. Main to bas tease kar rahi thi tujhe. Koi naa chill.

Avni: Hmm.... Still sorry.

Vaish: Acha bata baat kya hain?

Avni: Nothing yaar.

Vaish: Huh?? Fine shopping chale?

Avni (raising her eyebrow): Shopping and Vaishnavi?

Vaish: Ah....!!!! Haan I mean theek hain tera mood theek karne ke liye itna to kar hi sakti hoon main. Plus, main tere sath rahoongi to tujhe shopping jaldi end karni hogi phir hum cafe chalte hain.

Avni: Haan okay but dekh media and all nahin honge to hum normal person ke tarah mall mein chalege. Showroom, boutique me nahin.

Vaish: Yes yes please. Abhi jaldi se ready ho jaa.

Avni: Haan to KM mall chalte hain. Zyada door bhi nahin hain.

Vaish: Good idea.

Avni nodded. In few minutes. Both left for mall.

After wandering for sometime at shops. Avni choosing, trying, selecting, rejecting. Vaish roaming behind her with an irritated look, looking at dresses, disliking them in a look. They both spent more than two hours in shopping.

While existing from accessories shop.

Vaish: Dekh aaj ke liye more than enough shopping ho gayi. Now please cafe.

Avu: Nahin yaar.

Vaish (glaring at her): Shut up. Chal chup chap. Itni der maine teri baat maani for shopping. Plus, tune bhi bola tha zyada der shopping nahin karegi. Now done.

Avni (rolling her eyes): Fine.

They were going towards escalator when they noticed a good crowd of girls standing near a shop.

Avni (excited): Sun vo shop par dekh kitna crowd hain. I guess sale hain. Chal chale.

Vaish: Bro? Abhishek Nigam ki behan getting excited for sale?

Avni: Duh!! Abhishek Nigam ki sister se pehle I am girl. Girls love shopping and sale except a few like you.

Vaish: Whatever.

Avni (dragging Vaish): Chal chal.

They went towards shop. They noticed it was not sale but a poster of Abhishek's upcoming movie. Abhi's pic was shirtless. Crowd of girls were ogling over Abhi.

Avni (proudly): Mere bhai to sale se bhi zyada demand me hain. I am proud of you bhai.

Vaish (chuckled): True!! Sale dekh li to cafe chale?

Avni: Yes yes.

They started walking again.

Vaish: Vaise tera kyun mood off sa hain? Aaj nahin main kuch din se notice kar rahi hoon.

Avni: Nothing like that.

Vaish: Mujhse jooth bolegi?

Avni: Okk fine meri maa I am missing Sid.

Vaish: Matlab?

Avni: Jab se Sid gaya hain. I am missing him alot. Like pata hain roz call par baat hoti hain. Main call nahin karti as vo apni family ke sath hota hain to main disturb nahin karna chahti. Vo jab bhi free hota hain call karta hain. Regular raat ko sone se pehle call karta hain vo. But still I am missing him alot. Actually it's like my eyes are longing for him and I am missing his hugs.

She pouted by the end.

Vaish (smirk): Pata hain kuch din pehle maine kisi ko bola this is love. Now, Someone is in love you know?

Avni glared her but failed as she started blushing. She quickly covered it up.

Avni: Chor chor ye sab chor.

Vaish: Tu to yehi bolegi na ab.

Avni: Vo dekh ek or poster bhai ke movie ka. Bhai ka kitna craze hain na.

Vaish (in flow): Hmm... You know once I was also his biggest fan. Like main usko har movie to dekhti thi sath hi sath har interview, photoshoot, stalking. Everything like a crazy fan I used to keep his photos.
