Akshara's POV
Riya leaned back in her chair, crossing her arms with that signature sly grin of hers. "You know, I just waited twenty minutes for your whining complaints about me," she said, her tone dripping with playful sarcasm.
I stared at her, mouth agape. "Twenty minutes? You were listening the whole time?"
She nodded, clearly enjoying my shock. "Oh yeah, every word. I was standing right there, listening to you rant about how I didn't call or text. I almost felt bad... almost." She winked.
I groaned, covering my face with my hands. "Oh my god. You're evil."
Riya laughed, reaching over to pull my hands away from my face. "Come on, Akshu. It was worth every second! Besides, you complaining about me is how I know you love me."
I couldn't help but laugh, despite being thoroughly embarrassed. "You're the worst, Riya. But fine, I'll admit it-I might have been a little dramatic."
Sanjana giggled from across the table. "A little? You were practically writing a whole novel about how Riya abandoned you!"
I groaned again. "Okay, okay, I get it. You two love messing with me."
Riya grinned wider. "Always, babe. And you make it so easy."
Before I could reply, Riya leaned in, her eyes glinting with mischief. "Anyway, how about our surprise?" she said, throwing in the word like it was nothing.
I froze mid, blinking at her. "Wait... did you just say our surprise?" I asked, dumbfounded, narrowing my eyes as confusion .
I turned to Sanjana, who was sitting a little too quietly for my liking. She gave me a nervous smile, her eyes darting between me and Riya.
"Sanju..." I started, my voice dropping into a warning tone, "You knew about her arrival, didn't you? Don't even think about lying to me."
Sanjana squirmed a little, giving me a nervous smile. "I mean... I might have known something..." she mumbled, trying her best to look innocent but failing miserably.
I crossed my arms, giving her a mock glare. "So you knew Riya was coming and didn't bother to tell me?".
Riya burst into laughter, clearly delighted by a little drama. "Come on, Akshu. We couldn't spoil the fun! We both wanted to see the look on your face when I showed up."Sanjana grinned sheepishly. "It was all part of the plan. I couldn't say anything, or it would've ruined the surprise."
I rolled my eyes, but couldn't help laughing along with them. "You two are impossible. I can't believe you kept this from me! But fine, I'll admit it-you got me."
Riya grinned, proud of herself. "Admit it, though. We got you good."
I sighed, finally giving in. "Yeah, fine. You got me."
