TRAGEDY TO TREASURE (COMPLETED)

Chapter 37

Avneet (concerned): What happened guys?

Again Siddharth and Vaishnavi sneezed. Reem giggles doing the same. She acted like sneezing. Thinking it's a game.

Sumedh (shocked): Oh shit!! I am very sorry Siddharth. It's slipped out of my mind that you are allergic to Cashew nuts. I ordered dry fruit ice cream. I am so sorry yaar.

Mallika: Sumu.... kya karte ho?

Vaishnavi (surprised): Allergic to cashew nuts?

Avneet: Hmm... Siddharth is allergic to cashew nuts.

Vaishnavi (shocked): I am also...

Both sneezed. Reem too acted like sneezing. She was enjoying it.

Everyone except Vaishnavi (shocked): What?

Abhishek (still shocked): Are you se-

He got quiet as again both sneezed followed by Reem's game.

Abhishek: Cashew khaye to realise nahin hua kya?

Siddharth, Vaishnavi (in unison): I thought it's-

Both got quiet giving chance another to speak.

Siddharth: Huh!! Mujhe laga dry fruits mix hain. Cashew particular nahin tha mind me.

Vaishnavi: Hmm... sa-

Again both sneezed

Avneet (giggling): Dono mast ek hi moment par sneeze kar rahe ho.

Siddharth (rolling his eyes): Tumhe hasi aa rahi hain.

Abhishek: Leave all this chalo Ghar chalte hain. Davai lo tum log pehle.

Mallika (with guilt): By the way ye theek kaise hoga?

Siddharth, Vaishnavi: By morning-

Both got quiet, letting the other speak.

Avneet: Siddharth rest karega to by morning he will be okay. Same with you Vaish?

Vaishnavi nodded.

Sumedh: Hmm... but I am sorry guys. Mujhe dhayan rakhna chaye tha. Specially siddo ke liye I know he is allergic.

Siddharth: Theek hain koi baat nahin. Next time se dhayan Dena.

Abhishek: Main pay karke aaya then chalte hain.

Avneet: Tu aaja hum bahar wait karte hain.

Abhishek nodded. They went out.

Mallika took Reem in her arms.

Reem (giggling): Maa achuuu?

She acted like sneezing. Thinking it's a game. Vaishnavi couldn't understand her words. She smiled.

Reem (looking at Siddharth): Maa... Maa... Achuu?

She paused in Maa twice as it's a big word for her but her calling Siddharth gives him goosebumps.

Siddharth (shocked): Phir se bolo reemi...

Reem (giggling): Maa... Maa...

Avneet (rolling her eyes): Kitne self-obsessed ho. Vo tumhe nahin Maa ko bhula rahi hain.

Siddharth: Baby aapne mama bola?

Reem (nodded): Maa... Maa...

Avneet: Reemi kisko bhula rahe ho?

Reem pointed at Siddharth. He smirked looking at Avneet. Avneet shrug her shoulders.

Siddharth (taking Reem in arms): Meri baby ne mujhe mama bola.

Avneet was smiling looking at them. She had seen him fighting for Reem (his sister). She had seen him suffering from depression on Reem's death. She was happy seeing the wide smile on his face. Abhishek came there.

Reem (excitedly, patting Siddharth's shoulder): Papa Maa... maa...

Siddharth (happily): Ye mujhe-

He got quiet in the middle as again Siddharth and Vaishnavi sneezed. Reem clapped her hands in excitement.

Reem (happily): Aguaguaguuuuaguuuuu...

She sang something. Siddharth chuckled.

After some minutes. They reached the society.

Mallika: Girls kal shopping chale?

Abhishek: Shopping? To kal duty nahin hain kya?

Mallika: Dude, three days later we have a ceremony to attend. If you don't remember. Corporates band hain till 3 days.

Avneet (frown): Sadiyal ne bataya nahin...

Abhishek: Tujhe bataye ya nahin kya farak padta hain. Vaise bhi kaun sa kaam karti hain tu.

Avneet: Haan kya? To vo pura din mere naam ki mala kyun japta hain. 2hrs shanti se work karne nahin deta or last me natak karta hain.

Mallika: Kal ka batao.

Avneet: Shopping to jana hain. Mujhe function ke liye outfit lena hain. Mera bhi name nominate hua hain. I need to look perfect award lene jau tab.

Siddharth: Pehle hi bol raha hoon shopping main nahin chaluga.

Mallika (tight smile): Tum logo se maine pucha bhi nahin. I said girls.

Siddharth: Tune nahin pucha. Par Avneet suddenly ke chalo phir?

Mallika: Avni tu isko leke chali to I swear main plan cancel kar dugi. You won't believe last time jab Sumu ke sath shopping gayi 1hr baad he was tired. Mujhe kuch ache dekhne ya lene hi nahin diya. And jab main aur Vaishu gaye. Reem bhi thi sath me phir bhi kitna maza kiya humne.

Abhishek: Fast tha phir bhi shopping karne gaye.

Avneet: Tujhe pata hain ye log na sirf dikhne me hot hain baki to old age peeps hain. Energy hi nahin hain in me.

Mallika: I agree.

Boys gave them "What a joke look". Reem and Vaishnavi laughed on their expression.

Avneet (sulking): Kal ki shopping final. vaish humane sath chalegi. Boys ko jo chaye karo.

Siddharth shook his head in disbelief. With some more discussion they finally left for home.
