TADAP

Chapter 28 - Flirting & a chaos?

"Sanuuu... Is that you?" While Shehnaaz was talking, she heard a voice and immediately looked up towards the direction.

"Siyappa! Aa gaya yeh" she muttered under her breath while Shubman giggled at her misery and she glared at him to not dare mess with her.

"Chup ho ja kanjaraa nahi toh Nisha ko tere aas paas bhi nahi aane dungi!" Shehnaaz threatened playing the right card as Shubman's eyes widened.

He knew he was caught royally and had no way to goof around with Shehnaaz.

"Sanu yar!" He blushed and nodded his head "chal theek hai I'll help you"

And there came a tall, fair and handsome boy who looked straight out of a Punjabi pop music video, wearing flashy high end apparel and accessories.

"Uff! Yaar, look at you! Pehchan nahi paya mein..." He said being amused as he checked her out head to toe making Shehnaaz uncomfortable by his gaze which is when like a true gentleman Shubman moved in front of her blocking his view. She rolled her eyes and stood behind Shubman.

"Hello Lucky paji, ki haal?" Shubman initiated totally ignoring that he was greeting Shehnaaz.

"Oh ho Shubman Gill, the star! Inna vadda cricketer ban gya, khush kar ditta sadda munda sab nu pind ch. Kiddan, ki haal Shub? Didn't expect you here in Bombay" Lucky hugged him.

"Jee thank you paji. Sab changa, ad shoot lyi Bombay aya si ga" Shubman replied reciprocating the hug just for the sake of it.

They moved apart and Lucky's eyes moved to Shehnaaz again.

"Sanu, you've lost so much weight! Ah kive kitti si? Tu pehla inni golu molu si...hun menu bomb lagdi ae tu. Gym wym shuru kitti ki?" He clearly ridiculed Shehnaaz under the pretext of complimenting her looks which infuriated both Shubman and Shehnaaz. They just couldn't wrap their head around how people could speak blatantly on someone's body like that.

"Lucky paji, this isn't the way to speak to anyone, hai na? Sana pehla vi soni kudi si te hun vi.. also she owns a chain of gyms across India. I'm surprised you don't know of it, aaj kal business vich man nahi lagda ki paji?" Shubman subtly yet strongly gave back to him.

But the crass of a person that Lucky was, did not feel much of an insult but rather tried to cover up.

"Arre time hi kaha milda menu ki sare business news ch khabar rakha. But yar Sanu, ki jarurat si tenu gym chain shuru karn di? Sara da sara Pioneer tera hi toh hai...aur zyada ameer banne ka shonk hai tenu?" he laughed at his own 3rd class apparent joke.

Lucky had gone too overboard with this and Shehnaaz wasn't the one to take it.

She had been patiently tolerating him
till then and now she couldn't anymore. But, she didn't want to lose her temper and create a scene either because the party meant so much more to her considering that Sidharth and his family were attending too.

"Lucky, aaj Diwali party hai na?" She asked completely ignoring whatever he said.

"Haan haan, bohat vadiya party si" he replied not understanding her context.

"Toh khana kha, daru sharu pee, party kar, Bhangra paa, nagin dance kar, uncles te kol nonsense gallan kar... Enjoy? Theek ah?" She said nonchalantly with a fake smile and in a sarcastic tone only to walk away while Lucky kept wondering what just happened. She had just clearly insulted him for whatever he commented and put him in place.

Shubman couldn't stop himself from giggling at how Shehnaaz had handled the moron. He excused himself and walked away too.
