"Plan raat ka hai."

"Kya matlab?"

"Matlab ye ki main raat ko uske room mein jayungi aur sab clear karungi."

"Par jayegi kaise? Door knock karegi. Uski maa ne khola to kya bolegi?

Aunty ji main apke bete ke room mein jaun. Humein baat krni hai. Aur jab woh puchhengi ki kya baat krni hai, to? Kya bolegi? Soch Sana Soch..."

She was babbling continuously making Sana nervous. 

"Shhh... " Akriti stopped speaking immediately and started laughing. "Woah, dude. Tune ek dam mast bapu ji jaise kiya Shhhh."

"Shant hoja meri maa. Kitna bolegi?" She shut her mouth and thought for the solution. 

"Waise maine sach mein bapu ji jaise kara?" 

"Bilkul, ditto." 

They both again went deep into thinking. 

"Idea!" Akriti jumped in joy. "Dimaag ki batti jali." 

She murmured her plan in Sana's ear and both jumped happily and for the next few hours, they worked according to their plan. 

Finding Sid's room in his home was Akriti's job since she's good at talking aimlessly. She went to his home with kheer made by Sana's mom and got the information.

"Kaha hai uska room?" Shehnaaz asked her impatiently. 

"Are, saans to lene de." She drank a full glass of water. "Aur mujhe lagta tha main zyada bolti hun." She sighed.

"Aunty to itna nhi bolti." 

"Nhi bolti. Par unke ghar Sheetal aunty hai, jo khana banati hai aur sab kaam karti hai. Kya pakati hain wo. Sare serials ki jankari dedi unhone mujhe. Kis serial mein kis ka pati kiske sath chakkar chala rha, kon do behne ek ladke ke peechhe pagal hain, aur pata nhi kya kya." Again sighing, she rested her head on the table. "I'm exhausted."

"Tu bol na Akku. Pata chala ke nhi." She again asked her but this time akriti looked up and narrowed her eyes. "Kitni selfish hai na tu. Apni padi hai tujhe, mere se to koi pyaar hi nhi krta." She again buried her head in her arms. "Akku, meri pyaari Akku. Tu to meri behan jaisi hai na. Bol na ab. Age ka plan krna hai na." 

Thumping her hands on the table, akriti sat straight. "Okay, to sun. Uska kamra first floor pe hai. Third from the left. Fine?" 

"Balcony hai?"

"Haan hai."

"Perfect, now we just need a ladder to climb to his room." Sana squealed.

"Not we, you. I'm not going anywhere." Akriti said.

"Haan haan jaungi to main hi par tum mere sath jaogi na. Jab main upar chadh jaun, tum ladder hata dena warna kisi ko shak ho jayega." Sana made her understand.

"Theek hai, theek hai. Par meri ek shart hai."

"Bol..." Sana folded her hands.

"Jab meri baari ayegi, to tu peeche nhi hategi."

"pagal hai? Main kyun tera sath nhi dungi. Obviously, I'll be there for you always."

"Waah! Wo bhi kya din the..." "Konse din?"

"Jab Friends pehli baar dekha tha maine. Pehli baar ka maza hi kuch aur tha." she looked up lost in nostalgia and Shehnaaz hit her on her shoulder.
