Avu was sitting in hall when Abhi came out after hanging up his call.
Abhi: Oh Vaishu kaha gayi?
Avu: Well bhayia ab wo saari zindagi to yaha nhi reh sakti na. So she left
She replied sarcastically.
Abhi: Kya chali gayi? Why didn't you call me yrr?
He replied making a crying face.
Abhi: Kyu nhi bulaya?
Avu: Kyu itna natak kar rahe ho? Not like she ain't gonna come ever again. Aur kis tarah ka pagalo jaisa behave kar rahe the aap
Abhi: Mein kaisa behave kar raha tha? Normal hi to tha
Avu: Waise normal insaan jaise mein, Vaishu. Hum sab ka normal kuch aur hai. Aap jaise logo ka mujhe pata nhi
She said with a sarcastic smile to which Abhi rolled his eyes.
Abhi: Mere jaise matlab? Mein na bilkul normal theek thaak insaan hu
Avu: Hnn wo to dikh raha tha. Kaafi achhe se. Waise mein aapki love story shuru nhi hone de rahi? Mein aafat hu hnn?
Abhi: Aur nhi to kya?
He said without realizing. But then suddenly he realized and looked at Avu who was looking at him with a tight lip smile.
Abhi: Dekh kisi ki aese baatein sunna achhi baat nhi hai. Privacy naam ki bhi koi cheez hoti hai
Avu: Huh!!! Bade aaye privacy wale. By the way kisi ko to pyaar ho gya hai. Hai na?
He tried controlling his blush but couldn't.
Abhi: Shut up
Avu: Hnn karlo karlo blush. Koi ni
Abhi: Kya yrr Avu
Avu: Waise I pity her wo kaise jhelegi aapko. And aafat is you not me. I am very innocent
Abhi: Hnn tu to hadd se zyada innocent hai
Avu: Hnn bilkul. Aapne bola tha na ki meri wajah se aapki story start nhi ho rahi. Ab aap sirf meri baat maanoge
Abhi: Mujhe kaam kharab thoda karna hai
Avu: Hnn hnn of course. Jaise aapka kaam to bana hi pada hai. Wo to aapke pyaar mein pagal hoye jaa rahi hai. Nhi na? So you better listen to me. Usko kahi ghoomane lekar jaaoo. Uske saath time spend karo. Koi achhi si jagah book karlo
Abhi: Nhi yrr bahar kahi nhi. Media ko bhi handle karna padta hai. Aur you know I want to do something for herself. Five star hotels and all nah. I don't want to go there
Avu: Ohhh. Someone is getting romantic and making efforts. I see
She smirked.
Abhi: Aesa kuch nhi hai
Avu: Aesa hi hai bhai. But don't worry. Ab aap effort kar rahe ho to mujhe to help karni padegi. And of course I like my bhabhi. So don't worry. Mein sab set kar doongi
Abhi: (mumbled) Hey bhagwaan!! Ab pata nhi kya hoga
Avu: Kuch bola?
Abhi: Na
Avu: Okk
They both planned a dinner date in their lawn two days later. Avu asked about Vaish's fav dishes while chatting somehow without revealing the surprise. They decorated the lawn a bit and called Vaish for dinner.
Abhi was ready and was roaming here and there in tension sometime before Vaish had to arrive. Avu rolled his eyes at him.
Avu: Aapki walk ho gayi to bahar jaaoo. She must be arriving any time
Abhi: Jab tujhe finally pyaar ho jayega aur Sid se milna hoga na tab tujhse poochhonga
Avu got lost in thinking about her and Sid and blushed. Abhi didn't notice because he was himself very worried. He took deep breath.
Abhi: Chal okk I am going
He went out and stood at main gate with a bouquet to welcome her. He set his tie for the nth time. He saw her coming out of her car. She was in her casuals for a normal dinner with friends as she wasn't aware it was kind of a date. But he was still mesmerized by her beauty. Vaish saw him and got a bit confused but covered up with a smile.
Vaish: Hey
Abhi: H..hi. Umm you are looking beautiful
Vaish: Thanks
She said with a sweet smile and tucking her hair strand behind her ear. Abhi didn't know what to speak further and before things can go awkward he forwarded the bouquet.
Abhi: For you
Vaish took it.
Vaish: Thank you. It's beautiful. Umm you are also looking great
Abhi: Oh thanks
Vaish: You are dressed up. Actually I wasn't aware there is some occasion. So I just came in a casual dress. I hope you don't mind
Abhi: No I just wanted to spend sometime with you and you are looking great. Shall we go inside?
Vaish nodded. They went inside and Vaish saw two decorated chairs in front of each other with a table on between and food was kept on table and was covered. Abhi noticed Vaish was getting confused by all this.
Abhi: Actually we became friends but never spent time or got to know each other. Also I behaved so awfully with you earlier. So I just planned this with Avi's help. If you are comfortable and don't mind, can we enjoy all this
Vaish: Umm sure. I will be glad
Abhi smiled widely. They both settled down. Abhi uncovered the starters at first. They both had never been into dating and stuff. So it was all new for them. They talked to each other more like knowing each other. At first, it was bit awkward but then they got comfortable. They finished their food and had walk around the lawn which was pretty big. Vaish was really enjoying his company and was really impressed by the efforts he was making. Abhi was happy he got to spend time with her. After sometime, she bid him bye and left with a friendly hug. Abhi was smiling widely remembering their moments together. He went inside. It was late so Avu had already gone to sleep. So he decided to let her sleep and share everything with her tomorrow.
