All The Stars (Stars Trilogy#2)

Ch. 11 -Ishaan-

"Ishuuu, I found Aisha, Avni, and Kaira on Instagram." My mother shouted from the living room. She has grown old, but her stalking skills are as high as anything.

Bhabhi and Maa were glued to tablet screen stalking Kaira's account.

"Don't you two have anything better to do?" I asked, standing in front of them arms crossed.

"See, she looks so good in Indian too." Bhabhi said, pointing to one pic.

"Okay, enough." I said, snatching the tablet from them and taking it with me to my room. I found myself going through her insta profile, damn, she looks good in everything.

The only stupidity I did was, while in the process of admiring her every single pic, I liked all of them. Perfect, now she would open her notification and see me as a potential stalker and a psycho.

Wait, this isn't my account. It's Bhabhi's. Great, problem solved. I leaned back in relief and fell asleep, I woke up startled and looked at the clock.

Shit, late. Avni invited you for the dinner, remember? My mind mocked.

I got ready in a jiffy and picked up the bouquets I had pre ordered. I got Gardenias especially for Kaira because I have reached the conclusion that I have probably liked her for the last two years.

I haven't had any woman in my arms or in my car, which is pretty big for me. I allow limited people to use my precious first love, Thar, and get into it. The point is, I have gone off limits since I have seen her.

Aisha opened the door.

"Welcome, Mr. Malhotra." She said laughing.

"These are for you, my pretty lady." I said, giving her one small bouquet of yellow roses.

"This one's for you, Avni." I said, handing her one similar like Aisha's. I restrained from using any adjectives for Avni because Aman was standing just beside her, and I love my life. I heard what happened to Evan, Krish told me.

"This is completely harmless, Aman. Yellow roses symbolize friendship." I said, winking at Aman. He shook his head, and Avni laughed.

Ultimately, I made my way to the lady, standing in the middle of the living room, detached from everyone, like just waiting for me.

"These are for you, grumpy woman." I said, handing the biggest of three bouquets, Gardenias.

Her reaction was priceless. She was glancing between me and the flowers repeatedly, and slowly, a smile graced her lips.

That one small smile, and I was floating through heaven already. I wonder, what her full blown smile will do to me, I might fucking have a heart attack then and there.

"Okay, people. You all can continue the romances after the dinner." Aisha said clapping her hands together.

"What if we eat while watching a movie?" Avni asked.

"That's not a great idea considering, half the population can't tolerate a scary movie and other half can't tolerate a rom com." Kaira spoke.

"Who doesn't love a movie about eternal magical love with some comedy on side?" I asked astonished.

"Kaira Bhardwaj and Krish Kapoor." Aisha answered without looking up from her plate, I saw Krish staring at her, so intensely that maybe his eyes will produce gleams which will straight be aimed at Aisha.

"People with K are boring." I muttered and Avni and Aman laughed.

"I agree broo." Aisha commented.

"Or maybe, we could binge watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S?" I asked, what can I say, I am a devotee of that show.

"You like F.R.I.E.N.D.S?" Aisha asked excitedly.

"Hell yes." I replied matching her enthusiasm.

"Kaira marry him, he loves F.R.I.E.N.D.S." Aisha said to Kaira, who shook her head and other laughed. We all shifted to the living room with our plates and glasses of wine and started the marathon of episodes.

Avni and Aman hasn't seen it, so we started from the beginning. Aisha brought in desserts after everyone was done with the food.

Half way through the season 1, Avni and Aman decided to leave. I learnt that Avni was going to spend the night with Aman and took her small duffle bag with her.

"Krish you are welcomed to join our watch party, if you like." Kaira said to Krish, while Aisha glared at her.

"Thank you for offering, but I have some work I need to complete before tomorrow." He politely refused and walked out the main door, Aisha staring at his retreating figure.

"Babe, you got some serious tension between you two." I commented causally and both the heads snapped towards me.

"What? I literally felt it throughout my body." I said, shrugging.

"Tension tension tension, I don't like it. But it likes me, I can't avoid it." Aisha replied, sighing and resting her head on Kaira's shoulder. Kaira was sitting in the middle while Aisha was on one side and me on the other. I don't really remember how we ended up like this, but it was good. We were sitting on the floor, supporting our back with the couch.

"Okay, drama queen got it. Relax and watch now." I said.

"It's already 1 in the morning. Let's get to bed now." Kaira said, standing up, but Aisha pulled her back down.

"Please see na, sit here only." She pleaded.

"Hello? You have taken the day off tomorrow. I haven't, and I have very important things to report tomorrow." Kaira said.

"I have to be at that meeting too, but am I going to bed? No, so stay." I too tried my luck. Aisha gave her puppy eyes, I too joined her, trying my best to look cute. Finally, Kaira gave in, and me and Aisha did a small highfive.

"Fine." Kaira sighed, and we were back to our position. Oh god, I remember the last episode being episode 10 of season 3.

I opened my eyes slowly, sensing some movement under my head. My head was on Kaira's lap, and Aisha's head was on her shoulder, and the movement was by Kaira trying to shift Aisha's head.

I instantly sat up and muttered an apology. She said it's okay, took a pillow, and made Aisha lie down, gently placing the pillow under her head.

"Maybe you should go home and fresh up. We got exact one hour before we need to reach The Embassy." Kaira said, a slight pink on her cheek, but I knew better than to tease her.

"Well, see you there." I said, and she waved a bye as I exited the apartment.

My heart was beating so fast and so loud that you may be able to hear it through the whole building. I went to my house, showered and changed in recorded time, and set out for the Embassy.
