"Yaar, yeh baaki sab kahaan reh gaye? Anjali bhi nahi aayi ab tak!" Atul whined to Armaan.
The two of them, along with Muskaan and Yuvi, were sitting in the cafeteria if the hospital.
"Kyuki woh sab humaari tarah idiots nahi hai, Champ!" Armaan replied, irritated. "Abhi sirf 4:30 hua hai aur sabko 5 baje pohonchna hai."
They were early because Atul had literally called the other 3 every 2 minutes since 3 in the morning till they'd all woken up and gotten ready. And then, he'd budged Armaan till the latter had agreed to pick them all up. So, here they were, extremely early, while it was still dark out. Muskaan and Yuvi had dozed off again. Armaan wanted to too, but Atul's insistent chatter had kept him awake.
"Pch," Atul cribbed, "mujhe kya pata tha ki koi bhi nahi aayega? Main toh itna excited tha, yaar! Itne time baad hum sab vacation pe jaa rahe hain. Toh mujhe laga baaki sab bhi excited honge aur aa jaayenge. Lekin koi aaya hi nahi!"
"Champ, mere bhai," Armaan replied, irritated, "excited sab hain. Lekin iska yeh matlab nahi hai ki woh log subah 4 baje hi pohonch jaayenge. Time se ek ghante pehle. Woh bhi itni subah!"
Atul pouted and went to get coffee. Armaan sighed. He kept his head on the table and closed his eyes, wanting to catch some sleep before the others got here, but his phone went off, causing everyone to jerk up surprised.
"Sorry!" He apologized to Muskaan and Yuvi who'd woken up from the noise.
Muskaan glared at him and then went back to sleep, followed by Yuvi. Armaan frowned, cursing the person who was calling him so early, but smiled widely when he saw Basket flashing on the screen.
He immediately answered and moved away from the table for some privacy.
"Good morning, sweetheart," he greeted her.
"Good morning, baby," Riddhima replied, causing him to grin widely. "Phone uthane mein itna time kyu lagaya?"
Armaan frowned. "Arre, woh so raha tha. Aur phir awaaz se Muski aur Yuvi bhi uth gaye the."
"Tum Muski aur Yuvi ke saath kya kar rahe ho? Aur ab tak so rahe ho? Armaan, baby, 5 baje hospital ke bahar milna hai! Utho! Abhi uthke tayyar hoge aur phir aaoge toh bhi ek ghanta lag jaayega!" Riddhima said.
"Ek ghanta kya, ek minute bhi nahi lagega. Already hospital pohonch gaya hu main. Isliye toh Muskaan, Yuvi yahaan hai. Champ bhi hai. Bas, coffee lene gaya hua hai," Armaan replied.
"Tum abhi se pohonch gaye?" Riddhima asked, surprised.
"Abhi se?" Armaan scoffed sarcastically. "Madam, main toh 15 minute pehle hi pohonch gaya tha."
"Armaan, baby, I know ki tum bohot excited ho, lekin itni jaldi kyu?" Riddhima questioned.
"Yaar, woh Atul! Subah subah 3 baje phone karke utha diya. Phir zabardasti le aaya," Armaan cribbed. Riddhima giggled.
