In Akshit's cabin. They settle down.
Avni: Tere and Zalak di ke beech sach me sab theek hai na?
Akshit: Tune koi jasoosi ki movie dekhi hai ya book padhi hai? Influence ho kar mere piche karne lagi.
Avni: Tujhe bakwaas band karne me koi dikkat hai kya? For your information, Zalak di mere se, Sid se aur Hazel se normally baat kar rahi thi. But tere sath hi she seemed dull.
Akshit: To usko pata hoga na tu uske piche lag jayegi jasoosi karne. She is smart.
Avni stared at him for a few seconds and sighed.
Avni: Dekh baat ko ghumana band kar. Tujhe kya lagta hai maine notice nahi kiya tera and di is close hona. Flirting dono ki, blush karna, smile dena. Main and Sid date par jate the to piche kya hota hai Hazel se mujhe sab pata chalta hai. Tu kya chahta hai main sab tere samne bolu tab tu sach batayega.
Akshit; Hazel? Vo bachi hai kuch bhi bolti hai. Tu kya trust kar rahi hai?
Avni: Kuch bhi kya bolegi? Vo jo bhi batati hai na sach batati hai. For your kind information vo randomly batati hai not with intention ke tera ya di ka secret open kar rahi hai. Don't try to be over-smart with me. Now spit the beans...
She ordered the last line. Akshit rolled his eyes.
Akshit: Fine fine...
He sighed.
Akshit: Me and Zalak like each other.
Avni (smiling widely): That's amazing. To express kaun karne wala hai?
Akshit: I tried but she clearly denied.
Avni (shocked): Hein??? Matlab? She doesn't like you?
Akshit: Tch!! No. Ye ladki puri pagal hai. Faltu excuse de rahi hai. Like she isn't accepting nor rejecting her feelings. She denied saying "She is older than me. So, the family won't accept us." She is freaking 3 months older than me. And family won't accept us like seriously? Aur na point is Zalak ko jitna main janta hoon she doesn't care about these things pata nahi abhi suddenly kya ho gaya.
Avni: 3 months? Haa that's not a big deal at all. But ye ajeeb behave kyun? Mujhe na lag raha hai kuch aur bhi baat hai.
Akshit: Vahi to nahi samajh aa raha ab mujhe. Pata kaise karu vo bhi nahi samajh aa raha kyunki madam to is baare me baat karne ko ready nahi. Aur chal kisi tarah baat nikal bhi di to yehi bol rahi hai. Ab main baba hoon ya ban nahi sakta uske man ki baat jaanne ke liye.
Avni: Ek kaam kar. Tu na Sid se baat kar. Apni behan ke dil ki baat vo samajh sake maybe ya phir he can speak with her.
Akshit (shocked): Nahi nahi... Tum ladkiya itni pagal kyun ho? Vo aese faltu bakwaas 3 months ka excuse de rahi hai aur tu Sid se baat karne ka suggestion de rahi hai maha faltu bakwaas hai jo.
Avni (irritated): Faltu bakwaas, maha faltu bakwaas... Tu kya bak raha hai. Idiot...
Before they could argue more. Avni's phone rang.
Avni (receiving call): Haa Sid?
Sid: Hum office aa gaye. Tum kaha ho?
Avni: Main Akshit ke sath hoon. Wait aayi.
Sid: Okay...
She hangs up the call.
Avni: Chal chale vo log aa gaye.
Akshit nodded. After packing his stuff, he left. They all bid bye and left for home.
