His Apricity

6. In love?

Jeeva's POV

Same day,
After basketball practice.

Sitting on the side bench of the basketball court, I am packing my bag.

Both couples are engrossed in their romantic discussion.

Aarav is seated beside me.

"Why don't you drop me home today?", he said.

"Ain't you going with Shrey?"

"No, he's taking Anvi out on a date."

"Nice, huh."

"When will I be dating someone?"

"When you quit approaching random women."

"What kind of friend are you? You should have chosen a girl for me by now. But you didn't."

"Who am I?
Tinder, that I locate a partner for you."

"Ab chal Raha hai yaa yahin bethe bethe bakchodi karta rahega." I said.

"Haan haan chal Raha hoon, ruk."

"Shrey, Today, Jeeva will drop me off at home." He said to shrey.

"Enjoy your date" i said as shrey gave me a hug.

" Hmm, I will. Ride the bike with caution.
No speeding." He said.

"Who declared that she would drive?" Said Aarav," I'll be the bike's driver"

Achha, tu ruk beta.

"By the way, Shrey, do you recall Neha, our junior in high school?" I said to shrey.

" Haan, woh arts ki?" He said.

"Yes."

"Yeah! I do remember her. So, what?"

Aarav continued to stare at Shrey and me.

"Just a few days ago, I met her.
She asked me about aarav."

"Really, what did she ask?" Said Aarav.

She asked, "If he has a girlfriend or not."
"She wanted his phone number" , I said folding my hands.

"So, how did you proceed?
Have you given my number to her?"
"No, I didn't."

"What ? Why?" , aarav shouted in my ear.
I said , I'll ask you first, and then I'll give your number to her.

"Haan haan, Dede Dede" He said excitedly.

"Yes, but a few minutes prior, I was denied permission to ride the bike by someone" I smirked and said.

Shrey was trying not to laugh by biting his lips.

"Arey, I was just kidding yaar. You know na how funny I am" he said encircling his hand around my shoulder.

" Really?" I said, my expression blank.
"Haan yaar, chal let's go" He said, pulling me along.

"Bye shreya" I said to shrey waving my hand at him.

" Byee, bike dhyan se chalaiyo" he said smiling.

.
.

I was driving the bike.
Behind me was Aarav seated.

He inquired as to whether I would like ice cream.
"Sure", I replied.

We came up to the ice cream shop beside Fatehsagar Lake.

Whilst eating our ice cream, we were strolling along the banks of the Fateh Sagar.
He was asking me about Neha.
