In The Garden Of Virtue & Vice

'Sexy'

'Phuskyyyyy' Bandana called her 100th time by now.

'Kya hai?? Tu tayar ho jati hai do min mei, toh kya mai bhi ho jaungi? 15 min mei 100 baar bula chuki tu mujhe aur mera adha time barbaad ki' Sameeksha came out from the room wearing a crop top & a hight waist jeans.

'Ohoooooo....lagta hai aaj ladko ki line lagne waali hai' Bandana teased her.

'Varun ke hote huye toh koi mujhe aankh utha ke dekh bhi nahi skta hai' Sameeksha said flipping her hair. Bandana rolled her eyes.

'Acha ab chal, 1:30 ho gya' bandana stood up, took her wallet & they both left for mall.

'Waise hum ja kaha rahe hai?' Sameeksha asked.

'PHOENIX' bandana replied. Sam gave her amused look.

'Are you kidding bro??? Aaj toh pocket dhili hone waali hai humari' Sam said excitedly.

'Humari nahi MERI!! Aaj tujhe jo chahie meri taraf se hoga' Bandana said.

'Teri tabyat thik toh hai na? Kuch bhi bolti hai. Tu kharcha karegi woh shopping mei woh bhi meri shopping?? Tera dimaag pheer gaya hai' Sam said.

'Haan toh kya hua? Mazak krne ke paise thode lagte hai!!' Bandana laughed.

'Youuuu!!! I knew it. Huh!!' Sam made a poker face. They reached mall & parked their car.

                          **********

'Inteehaaaaaa ho gayi intezaar kiii' sumedh sang.

'Aayi na kuch khabar mere yaar ki' abhishek continued. Boys were singing this song from last 10 minutes. Girls told that come at 1:30 only because they were ready.

'Yaar hume aana hi nahi chahie tha, pta hi tha they are girls nd girls are never on time.' Rohan said. Sara came out of her flat followed by aarushi & devaki. Boys mouth hung looking at them.

'Yaar yeh humari hi girls hai na??' Abhishek asked blinking his eyes.

'Hmmm' Sumedh was lost.

'Fresher's pe bhi itne ache nahi lagi yeh log jitni aaj lag rahi thi' Rohan said looking at aarushi head to toe. Girls were looking damn awesome. Sara cane & snapped her fingers in front of sumedh, he didn't respond. Girls looked at eachother.

'GUUUUUYYYSSSSS!!!!' Three of them screamed together. Boys came to reality.

'Tumlog hume ghoor rahe the!!' Aarushi said punching rohan.

'Sexyy lag rahe ho by god tumlog aaj' Sumedh said looking at sara.

'Aaeee ghinaune praani....shooo shooo' Sara said. Abhishek was staring sara. She noticed it. When she turned to abhishek he looked here & there. Sara cocked her eyebrow.

'Umm....woh....mai!!' Abhishek was unable to say anything.

'Guys lets move!!' Devaki said gaining attention. Sumedh saw her head to toe.

'Cute' sumedh muttered.

'Kuch kaha??' Devaki asked him.

'Nahi nahi kuch nahi' Sumedh said.

'Acha lets move now' Sara said. Aarushi, devaki & rohan sat in abhishek's car. Sumedh & sara were on sumedh's bike. Aarushi was continuously looking at sara & sumedh. She felt kind of jealous.

'Kya ho gya hai tujhe aarushi khanna? Aise ajib ajib feelings kyu aa rahi hai tujhe? Devaki loves sumedh & sara & sumedh are best buddies, so chill!!' She said to herself and looked front. They left for mall.

After 1 hour of shopping, they went in a restaurant, ordered some food & started chatting till food comes. Aarushi excused herself & went to washroom, while returning she bumped with someone.

'Abeyy andha hai kya??? Ladki dekhta nahi hai aur bas ho gya inka' Aarushi shouted at the guy. She gained everyone's attention.

'WTF!!! its your fault also!' The guy said & turned around. He was Varun. Aarushi's anger now boiled more.

'Achaa toh tu hai, kamine intentionally kiya na tune. Baaz nahi aaega apni harkato se' Aarushi burst in anger. At the other place devaki rohan & abhishek went to them. Sumedh didn't go because sara held his hand.

'Aaru chod chal yaha se..bekar tamasha ho jaega' Devaki said & tried to pull aaru, but before that varun pushed aarushi & she fell on floor. Rohan punched him hard in his face.

'How dare you do like that' Abhishek said in anger.

'Teri yeh himmat, mujhpe haat uthaya tune' Varun said & raised his hands to beat rohan but aarushi came in between & aarushi was punched on her chest. She screamed in pain. Sumedh now got up kicked varun hard that he fell down. He took aarushi out of the restaurant, everyone followed them. Sara was still sitting there. Varun got up & went to her. She was scared till death.

'Itna maara mujhe inn logo ne aur maine jyada kuch nahi kiya. Pata hai kyu?? Nahi pata?? Samjh jaogi. Tum toh bohot samajhdaar ho na Sara Singh' Varun said with cunning smile on his face. He winked at her & left from there. She was shivering in fear.

'Kya karega yeh ab?' She thought. Abhishek came running to her & asked her if she was fine. She nodded. He took her out of the restaurant.

'Tujhe uss pagal se ulajhne ki kya jarurat thi?? Dimag kharab hai kya??' Sumedh said to aarushi holding her shoulder.

'Par woh takraya mujhse' aarushi tried to explain.

'Waah!!! Toh tu panga le legi usse. Dimag thikane pe hai na tera!! Aur jyada hero banne ki jarurat nahi hai tujhe, lagi na zor ki tujhe. Stupid!!' Sumedh said.

'Acha chodo guys lets move. Kahi aur jaate hai khane' devaki said. Abhishek came there with sara.

'Sumedh...kuch baat karni hai' Sara said & took him aside.

'Kya hua??' Sumedh asked.

'Woh varun...' Sara was cut by sumedh.

'Chill dusky kuch nahi karega woh' he said cupping her face.

'Nahi sumedh woh baat nahi hai. Tumlog ke jaane ke baad he came to me' Sara narrated what happened there.

'Humr aarushi ko usse dur rakhna hoga. Pakka woh badla lega humse' sumedh said. Sara hummed. They left from there & joined their group.
