Happy Reading

My eyes were still wide before I recovered and smiled at Advay.
Heck.It had been such a long time since I last saw him.
I asked him,"Where had you been this many years?"
Advay swung his arm on my shoulder and he either didn't notice Nikhil's glare/frown(God knows if he is confused or angry) or he didn't care.He spoke,"Well,My dad had an emergency and got me a US Admission so that I could do part time studies and part time job.We had bad time going."
I nodded when Nikhil asked with a forced smile,"Guys,How do you know each other?"
Before I could even speak,Advay beat me to it and grinned,"Well,we were best friends.You know,like when you and Naina were studying together,I was studying with her."
His eyes suddenly turned worried and panicked when he finished his sentence.Of course,Nikhil drawled out,"Dude,why don't you just shut up for awhile?"
He uneasily nodded and said,"Dude,Can you please prepare your famously famous chocolate coffee?You know,Saira,he makes the best chocolate coffee! "
Nikhil narrowed his eyes and said,"That's called Mocha!Advay Atleast learn the name now?And no I am not making it for you!"
I wasn't shocked when Advay pouted and gave him puppy eyes.
I was grinning.It was good to have him back.
Nikhil sighed and said,"Fine!I am making.Not because that thing you do is adorable but it's creepy.You looked constipated."
Advay winked and said,"Come on Nikhil,we know you are a big softie."
Nikhil grumbled and went away toward the kitchen.
As soon as he went,Advay,grabbed my arm and we were away towards the balcony.

I guess he was nervous because his hands were sweaty.I wonder why?
Suddenly,a realisation dawned on me.
We stopped at balcony and he turned towards me.
His face was guilty as he spoke,"I am sorry."
I stayed silent.
He seemed to lick his lips before he spoke,"Saira,I know that I sent you that voicemail at wrong time.I really brought awkwardness now that I think.I thought that was my last chance.I am sorry.I hope our friendship is not affected."
I tried to digest what he just spoke.
I said,"I understand.It was earlier awkward but then I guess we can let it slip.Let's forget it."
He smiled and said with so much hope,"So we are back?"
I nodded and he hugged me.
We heard someone clearing their throat.
It was Nikhil who still hadn't got over his glaring phase and his eyes narrowed,"I hope I haven't interrupted something."
Advay again grinned and said,"Nah dude.Now where's my...what you call that? Ahh..Motcha?"
Nikhil shook his head and said,"We don't have those things.Chocolate is not available and even leaves are over."
Leaves?What?Is he kidding?
Advay couldn't decipher and he spoke,"Oh."
Nikhil looked at his watch and said,"Hey,you have early morning meeting tomorrow,right?Why don't you head back to your hotel?"
Advay glanced and nodded and said,"Yeah.You are right.So Saira,meet you later."
He mock saluted me before flipping off his finger to Nikhil,"That's for you.You should have told me earlier about your marriage dude.Anyways gotta go."
Nikhil rolled eyes at his antics and said,"Bye."
We watched as Advay literally like a child went off.
I cleared my throat and spoke,"Since when leaves are added in mocha?"
He gave me a deadpan expression and shrugged.
I spoke,"And what?No chocolate?I have it stocked.Why did you lie Nikhil?"
Nikhil shrugged and said,"Well,I never expected that you will start hitting on my bestie.I just needed to say that you can pursue another relationship and damn girl,you were fast."
My blood boiled and I said,"Why don't you say something clearly?We both know,we are not good at beating about the bush."
He grumbled and said,"I don't need to elaborate to you."
He started to walk away and I spoke with much annoyance,"I think that was a right of wife?"
He looked back at me and smirked,"Yeah you are right.Thats the right of wife.You happen to be my fake wife."
Ouch. Why is he so rude?
He had the audacity to speak,"Just remember that we are still married for few months."
I was done dealing with him and I spoke,"You don't have to worry about my feelings and my faithfulness.I don't have feelings for Advay.Oh and I am so glad that I will be free from this contract soon."
And I picked up from walking stick and wobbled to walk to my room.I swear these plasters are more of a pain when my leg has almost healed.Nikhil watched me and he tried to help me but I simply said,"This is a fake marriage.You don't need to care for me.You can do your work."
He wanted to speak something but I was done waiting.
I locked my room and I decided I am not crying.
I dialled a number and said,"Sheena,Can you please book my tickets for next week?Yeah.I need some time off.It needs to be a secret ,okay? Yeah,tell Shyla if she asks you.Yeah thanks!"
I smiled.Time for some getaway from all these things.

My relation with Saira was just going down.I wonder why?
I felt I had been quite rude to her last week.I knew she had feelings and I should have been able to deal with it.But no.I introduced another level of awkwardness.
I wonder if she hates me.
From last one week,we are back at avoiding each other.Last three months were easier as I had so much work to deal with but now I am having quite free time as all other matters are settled.It rather gave me a lot of time to think about our relationship.
I would be lying if I said I was not flattered by her confession.Instead it warmed my heart.
But I was still not able to comprehend,if I was ready for relationship.My last relationship with Naina had left me doomed.
People mock if a man is afraid of relationship.I was not the type to have continuous flings and useless relationship.
I had been in few but I was afraid.
The relations I have witnessed had been rather heartbreaking.My mother father's was arranged marriage.
Mr and Mrs Malhotra who are often confused as my real parents,I rather not say about their relationship.
I have witnessed that both are cheating on each other.
I sighed and decided to go home.Maybe I should share with her my issues?
I drove and silently decided that how I should start my conversation.
I bought some lilies too as a token of apology.
I took a deep breath as I rung the bell.
After some time,My maid opened the door and shoved me a letter.
She said,"Madame told me to give you this." And she went back to her work.
I looked at the letter confusingly.
And then I read the letter.Last time I had got such a letter,it was from mom and then I never saw her. My breaths were short as I opened the letter.Was I too late?

Dear Nikhil,
I am not sorry that I am leaving your little nest for few days.
I am tired of this everyday ignoring,awkwardness and fights.You doubting me was the last straw and I have had enough.
I am not asking you to be..I don't know.I just thought that you were a friend I could trust.Yes,I liked you.Big deal!I like Shawn Mendes too!Have you heard his songs?I was swooning...Okay I am going off topic.
I understand you are someone with complex beliefs. I don't really think I have that right.
If you feel like apologising,then please get your door smashing habit closed.Your door slamming is hurting my ears.
I guess I will enjoy my few days of merriment outside the house.Seriously,that leg thing took toll on me.Thank God my leg is healed.
Anyways,gotta go.I have my flight waiting.
Bye! Don't call me. I am angry :/
~Saira
(Yours most caring and endearing wonderful wife)

I chuckled at the end of letter.I wonder if she was being sarcastic or being real.
I called my agent and said,"Find wherever my wife is currently." I cut the call and I knew my work was done.
I guess I could give her a surprise.
I took out my phone and messaged her :
Dear Mrs Malhotra,
Thanks for your letter.
I hope you are the kind of girl who likes surprises.

I instantly got message from her:
No mr Malhotra.I am not that kind. :/

I rolled my eyes and messsaged:
Then I guess it is time you start liking it.

I instantly again got her reply:
Cocky much :/ ?
Guess why did the chicken cross the road?

I typed back:
Because its food was across the street?

Her reply came:
Because it saw you.
:/ :| Go figure.
*_*

Okay.Maybe she is too angry.
