Avni (giving him a tight lip smile): Nahi mujhe kisi ke life me koi bhi interest nahi. That's it. Byee...
She walked away glaring at Akshit. Akshit smiled looking at Avni. He sighed and left for his work.
After few hours
In an hour, it will be lunchtime. Avni knocked at Akshit's cabin.
Akshit: Come in.
Avni walked in.
Akshit: Hey!
Avni: Akshit tum free ho lunch time me?
Akshit: Umm... No Avni... I am leaving right now for a meeting with KB clients. I will be having my lunch with them at their office. But haa after lunch I will be free.
Avni: After lunch to late ho jayegi. Main bhi abhi meeting ke liye jaa rahi hoon. I am sure ye meeting long hogi.
Akshit: Meeting long hogi hi. I mean jis hisab se demands hai. They will take long.
Avni: Hmm... Hazel school me kaise rahegi phir?
Akshit: Hum dono ki meetings almost 1hr jayegi after lunch. Aese usko thori chor sakte hai. Ab kya kare?
Avni (worried): I don't know. Vaise Sid hota hai. Ab?
Akshit: Sid... Sid nahi to uski sister. I mean you can ask Zalak.
Avni: Haa early morning batch mili hai. Lunchtime free ho jati hai di. Wait let me ask her.
She quickly dialled Zalak's number. In a few rings. She received Avni's call.
Zalak: Hi Avni.

Zalak: Oh! Are you worried for Hazel?
Avni: Hmm... If you can pick her up from school.
Zalak: Don't worry. I will. Uska lunch apne cabin ke desk par rakho. I will feed her.

Avni: Alright then. I am leaving for a meeting.
Akshit: Yeah bye! Don't worry about Hazel. Once, I will be back. I will take care of her.
Avni nodded and left for the meeting.
After lunchtime. Zalak picked Hazel up from school and they came in the office. After entry at reception. Zalak took Hazel to Avni's cabin. She got her fresh and took out lunch. She sat with Hazel feeding her and eating with her and Hazel complained to Zalak about Sid leaving for Delhi without bidding her bid.
Zalak: Aane do Sidoo ko bahut guess karugi main usko. Meri pyaari si Hazel se bina baat kiye kaise gaya.
Hazel nodded with a pout.
They had lunch while talking.
After lunch also Zalak sat with Hazel playing with her, though Avni asked her to drop Hazel at the Kids' zone but Zalak was enjoying spending time with Hazel. So, she decided to be with her till Akshit's return.
After an hour
Zalak and Hazel were busy playing when Akshit walked into Avni's cabin. He seems worried. Zalak saw him.
