34. The Talk

"what cake does Ishaan like, Avneet?", Abhishek asked.

Avneet looked up from her phone and hummed. "He likes chocolate as usual but he really likes ice-cream cakes. Those are his favorite.", she responded with a smile.

"Okay! So I'm getting him one!", Anushka declared.

"And I'm getting him a customized one. He said he loves Pokémons!", Vaishnavi cried out.

"I already booked him one.", Faisal said smugly crossing
his arms across his chest.

Abhishek rolled his eyes. "I think I'm the only one who didn't book a cake at this point.", he mused and looked over at Avneet who looked so done with all this.

"Isn't that a bit too much of cake?", she asked increduled.

All of them scoffed. "He's four. The least number of cake he should have should be four.", Vaishnavi sternly said.

"Oh?" Avneet raised a brow at her. "Really now, vaish di? According to that you just turned twenty five a few days
ago and you should've have had at least twenty-five cakes-"

Vaishnavi groaned. "I'm not a kid. I don't like cakes.", she defended.

"And he is a kid!" Avneet huffed. "He shouldn't eat so much of cake."

Siddharth rolled his eyes. "Let's all pretend we don't hear her or she won't let us celebrate my baby's birthday.", he announced clapping his hand.

Avneet rolled her eyes prettily and leaned back on the chair with her arms folded. "Go on, guys! Let's invite the Queen  of England to the birthday too!", she remarked sarcastically.

"That's easy to arrange! If we request her she'll surely come.", Anushka said.

Avneet whined throwing a packet of chips towards them in irritation making them laugh at how cute she was.

"You all are bullies! I wanna go home!", she groaned.

"

Okay! CUT!", the director yelled, confirming that it was the end of the shot.

Everyone was getting their make up touched while they rested. Today, they were shooting for the MV of their new song.

This is like the first song they're doing with Avneet which has an actual choreography and needless to say, the youngest has been picking up the choreo perfectly.

"Avneet, can I talk to you for a second?"

Avneet nodded at Siddharth and kept her phone away giving him her undivided attention. "Yes?", she pretend to cough when her voice came out too meek.

Siddharth sighed, well, yeah... It's awkward. "I wanted to tell you that I am ready to talk about everything that happened.", he told the younger.

Avneet's eyes snapped to the older. "W-what?", she stuttered in disbelief. This was not what she was expecting.

Siddharth exhaled heavily. "We can wait if you aren't ready.",he shrugged.

The younger shook her head timidly. "No, it's fine.", she mumbled. We need to have that talk. Siddharth nods at her.

It's really suffocating for them, at times, to look at each other and act normal.

"So, did Jannat pick Ishaan up from the play school?", he asks Avneet shakes her head. "Jai had to pick up Rohan from the airport, he is coming for Ishaan's Birthday so on the way they'll pick Ishaan up."
