QUERENCIA

12.YOU OWE ME A DINNER

Soon Shivaay, Annika were sitting opposite Satvik and Manvi. They all were sitting in awkward silence, as no one knew how to start the conversation.

"Ahm, let's order something?" Manvi decided to break the ice.

"First let's order some mocktails?" asked Satvik.

In which all of them agreed. Soon they all were settled with their drinks.

"So how did you guys meet?" asked Satvik after taking the sip of his mojito.

Both Shivaay and Annika mentally scolded themselves for not cooking their love story, but Annika decided to take the matter on her hands, and before Shivaay starts his something boring story she quickly hold his hand tightly and started saying,

"Well our love story is really filmy, but the point is we met, and fell for each other." she said, looking Shivaay like a lovesick teenager.

Which burned Satvik, while Manvi was really happy for Annika. Even Shivaay was surprised when Annika was looking at him with so much love. It feels so real as if she is truly madly in love with him.

"So tell us na. I mean I really want to know your love story." said Satvik in a pretentious tone looking towards Shivaay.

"Well..." Shivaay was cooking a story in his head but before he could say something.

"We met in a temple", said Annika looking towards Satvik.

She continued

"We met in a temple, he was their for a pooja and his guards pushed a kid to corner, I couldn't bear it so I fought with him and in anger I broke his car's windshield"

Satvik gulped the lump formed in his throat realising she is still feisty. Whereas Shivaay still remembers how that day went for him from that day he is completely tangled in Annika whatever he does wherever he goes he finds Annika there.

"Then he had a project, in which he needed a VR team so his bade papa knew me very well and then we decided to collaborate together. At first it was really tough for both of us to even look at each other's face but then eventually we started understanding each other and then I realised we both are really similar. And then he proposed to me. So we have been in a relationship for just a week."

"Wow!!It's so nice Annika, your story is so romantic and you truly said it's filmy." Mavi said, clasping her hands.

"Well even we have a wonderful story right Manvi?" Satvik asked, taking her in side hug.

Manvi just smiled as knew what he is upto.

"I mean look at our story I was in relation with your roomie but then I feel for you...just like a love triangle. Am I right Annika?" Satvik said in a demeaning tone.

Annika was trying to control herself as she does not want to create a scene whereas Shivaay realised Annika's state of mind so he decided to take matters in his hand.

"Well I feel you are wrong here Satvik, I mean your story is filmy but I guess it's not a love triangle. What I have heard and know about you Annika was never in love with you, for the sake of peer pressure or what we say , she was in a relationship with you but then she realised that public opinion should not matter to her she decided to break up with you. And then when she really got someone she decided to fall in love. I am not saying I am perfect for her. But yes living with her I am becoming perfect"

Annika was awed listening to his confession. He truly understands and knows her so well, whereas Satvik was angry as his plan was also a flop.

Manvi can feel the tension between Shivaay and Satvik. So she decided to change the topic and asked them to order dinner.
