Chapter 8-Around the city

"Get up,Aarthi.Its seven.",Meghna screamed,shaking me from my sleep.

"Two minutes,please!",I said in a dopey voice.

"Nothing doing.GET UP"

I got up and went to the bathroom,scowling at her.She smiled and walked off.I got ready in about half an hour .I was grandly greeted by the smell of noodles.I found Virat on the sofa and said hi to him.I went to the kitchen,only to find Abishek hugging Meghna from behind as she was making coffee.

"Ahem...ahem..",I fake cleared my voice.

Abishek drew back from her in horror and hustled to the hall without glancing at me.Meghna was all red and blushing awfully.

"What a romantic cooking ceremony!"

"Nothing romantic.We were just talking."

"Yeah!Talking with hugs and kisses."

"Shut up!Go and call them for breakfast!"

I went off to call them,giggling.We ate our breakfast and looked the door carefully.Virat had brought his car,like how we had planned yesterday.We began our tour with a loud cheer.

"Atleast now will you tell me where you are taking me?",I asked.

"Its nowhere special.Just a simple pan to show you around the city."

"Don't lie.You told me you had some surprise."

"That was just to irritate you.But I swear I didn't expect such a drama!"

"You devil!"I glared at him.

After a few minutes of silent driving,Abishek broke it.

"Ok guys.Our tour begins with a religiously.We are heading to ISKCON temple."

"I last went there about two year back!",Meghna said.

We reached the temple after fifteen minutes.

The outer building was a dark shade of brick red.Aw we went inside,a huge temple with a white tomb appeared.It glittered gloriously at the morning sunlight.It instantly gave me a sense of peace.There was a wooden door which led to a big hall where different idols of Lord Krishna stood at the corners.There were huge framed pictures of Krishna from different stages of his life.

"This is called Sri Sri Radha Rasabihari temple.It is located in an area called Juhu,a twenty minutes drive from Shastri Nagar where Meghna lives.",Virat explained.He walked along with me and showed my the different parts of the temple.

After almost an hour of admiring the temple,we left to G7 mall,which was just about fiften minutes from the temple.

It was a high structured,two storey building in the Versova Road.It had billboards everywhere and looked pretty crowded.

The ground floor had a variety of branded stores.Meghna suggested we buy something but I refused saying it might be too expensive.

"That doesn't matter.Look at that top.Its pretty!!",she exclaimed,pointing to a tee hanging in one of the shops.

"Come on,Meghna.You can get the same tee at half the price elsewhere!",I said,dragging her away from the store.

"How calculative!"

"Its not about being stingy.We shouldn't invest on something blindly!"

"Aarthi,you sound like she is gonna invest in a big business.Its just a tee,chill yaar!",Abishek said.
