Part 18

Will Shivaay's proposal turn to be a success or sour?

But first let's switch sides to Pune.
It's  quarter to 5 pm,Anika is done with her work for the day and is set to leave to go home.
Gauri leaves early the tailor shop and leaves behind in hands of her assistant.
She leaves early in order to stop Anika from reaching home....but question is why?
Fortunately,she arrives in time and finds Anika exiting to go home.
She's seated at the bench.
Anika finds her seated on bench and goes to her.
"Gauri...what are you doing here?" Anika asked confused.
"Well....I was waiting for you," Gauri replied.
"Why...is there an emergency....am unaware of?" Anika asked.
"No...silly....stop being a pessimist....I just wanted to hangout with one of my best friends....it's been long....I miss the special moments...we used to spend time together," Gauri explained.
"Gauri....Aww....am touched....I have a great idea," Anika replied.
"What it Annie?" Gauri asked.
"I'll call Bhavya....so that it can be double the fun,"Anika said.
"No...Annie it's not needed," Gauri stopped.
"I don't understand....Bhavya is also our friend....what's the issue of inviting her," Anika replied.
"Well...Annie.....the thing is....you and I....became friends first....before meeting Bhavya....and I want just the two of us...
to relieve the old nostalgia memories....besides...as the saying....goes... three's a crowd....try to understand my point of view," Gauri replied.
"Okay.... drama queen...where do you want us to go ?" Anika asked.
"Where else...but too...our favorite restaurant.... McDonald's," Gauri replied.
"Mmh...I can already see the delicious samosas,aloo puri and paratha....lead the way...madam," Anika added.

They walked together until they reached the McDonald's.

They sat on a table bench.

Then the chef came towards them.

"Are my eyes deceiving me....these faces look familiar.... hold on a minute....are you Anika and Gauri?" Chef asked.
Aniri smiled,nodded and shook his hands.
"You too have grown up so much...into...I might see.... beautiful gorgeous ladies," chef complimented.
"Aww...how so sweet...thank you for the compliment," Gauri replied.
"Thanks sir...you've too aged gracefully," Anika added.
"Wow...you too.... haven't changed one bit... anyways...what's your order?" Chef asked.
"2 plates of aloo puri and paratha for the miss( Chef smiled)....and two plates of kheer and a bottle of  coca cola...that will be all...thank you," Gauri replied.
"Alright...then," chef said walking out.

After 5 minutes,waiter came with the delicacies and refreshments.

Anika was salivating she missed her favorite dishes.... because she had to budget for her studies and home.

"Bon appetit," waiter replied.

"Wow....not only the presentation...but the aroma to is making me to salivate," Anika said.

"Alright....then..let's start eating," Gauri replied.

They started eating until they finished with both of them licking their fingers.

They called the waiter.

"Sir.....here's the....," Anika said with Gauri interrupting her.

"Annie...this was my special treat...to you...let me pay... alright ( Anika nodded in agreement because  she didn't want to cause a scene.... because it's difficult to convince Gauri's..it will lead to more arguments...so she just let her do it)," Gauri said.

She was about to remove her purse when this happened.

"No....ma'am...it's on the house," waiter said.
"What do you mean?" Anika asked.
"McDonald....gave you free...since you were his favorite customers back in the day and he also wanted me to give this to you... without any further ado...I'll take my leave," waiter replied leaving.

They were confused and opened the parcel it was pizza.
Just something small for my favorite people...enjoy.

They wanted to thank him but he was nowhere to be found and left a note and handed to the waiter to give him when he comes back and they left.
