The Perfect Stranger (Completed)

Chp 7: STAR CROSSED

Avni constantly searched every nook and corner of her bag for something.

'' Kya dhoond rahi ho?''

'' Nai.Nothing.How much longer before we reach my place''

''In a few minutes"

"Drive faster''

'' So I was thinking why don't we plan something like our double date again? May be a picnic.Will you ask Ali?''

''He can't come.He is busy''

''The whole week?"

''Yes. ''

'' Next week?''

''He will be busy then too"

'' Next month, the month after that? Or will he be busy the whole year?''

'' He is a pretty busy person"

" I'm sure he can find time for his beautiful girlfriend.Give me his no. I'll convince him"

''No"

'' why not?Don't worry I'm not going to steal him from you.He is not my types''

''He won't like it''

''Oh. That's my problem.Leave it upto me"

"Nope.Not happening"

''yes it is happening.I'll make it happen"

"Ali is not my boyfriend.There.I said it.You were right" she gave up throwing her hands in the air

"I knew.But this was fun" he chuckled.

Disappointed with her capability to hold on to lie, she turned her face away from his smug face towards the window, only to realise they weren't moving anymore. But it wasn't her apartment,it was a restaurant.

''I know you were hungry.Thats why the grumpiness, isn't it?"

Annoyed with his accuracy,she folded her arms and continued with her grumpy face.

'' Is that a 'yes'? Acha chalo gussa chodo.Lets have dinner.Its on me "

"Mujhe nai jana"

''C'mon don't behave like a kid now"

" I don't want to eat inside.Lets order take out''

'' And eat where?''

'' Wo main batati hoon''

'' Here"

After getting the food,they drove a little ahead and came to a stop by the side of a less crowded street.

Avni stepped out, with Neil following her.She pointed to the bumper of the car with her eyes.Neil climbed up without wasting a moment.Her spontaneity and carefree atitude pleasantly surprised him.

He lent a hand to Avni and pulled her up.

Leaning back on the windshield, they looked at the sky filled with shining stars, a rare view these days.The cool breeze brushing over their faces blew away the tiredness of the day.

The relaxing aura of the serene night overpowered the strangeness of the company.

''Thank you for everything you did today. You helped Bebe despite being so busy"
