TOMBOY FALLS FOR FLIRT

Ch-6- Mera India

"I have done no packing!", Zahra complained.
"I am all done!", Aarav said flashing a grin.
"Softy packs stuff like he is a girl who needs 5 kgs of makeup supplies for a three day holiday.", Sam joked, which instigated a roar of laughter from Keya and him.
Aarav smacked Sam on his head with his bagpack and twisted Keya's elbow.

Keya did a karate move on him and he fell on the ground.
"Keya! Why do you do that?!", he said getting up wincing in pain.
"You asked for it.", she said shrugging.
"Keya, I need you for such treatments to him.", Sam said fist bumping with her.

"Whatever, what's up with you two for the packing?", Aarav asked them.
"I am still left to pack a few things.", Sam said shrugging.
"I am done.", Keya said nonchalantly.
"Aaj pakka ho gya ki tu ladki nahi hai.. Matlab tum logo ka toh bohot packing and all hota hai na?", Aarav said in a fake shock.
"I only need a bagpack. We are going for only about a week, so I am at chill.", Keya said shrugging.
"Are you like taking enough material you need?", Zahra asked.
She nodded.
"Okay! I will take your leave guys! Its my shift at the library today.", Zahra said disappearing in the crowd.
Zahra had started working for the university library itself as an assistant.

"I will also leave, my program starts in 30 minutes.", Keya said.

All of them had planned the trip for 3 months now and their plan was final. They had looked forward to covering Aarav's house as Mumbai was the main place they wanted to go and covered Delhi too, all three wanted to show Zahra around since it was her first time in India.
Keya had asked Sonali to come along but she said a no owing to some personal reasons she would not be able to.
So four of them, that is, Keya, Aarav, Sameer and Zahra, were going to India.

"Okay I will leave too.", Aarav said lightly punching Keya's arm as their routine.

"Guys, wait!", Sam called out and saw if Zahra had gone away.
"I need a help.", he continued blushing a little.
"With Zahra, I guess?", Aarav inquired.
"Yes.", he blushed.
"Oh god! You are going to ask her to be your girlfriend!", Keya said jumping in excitement.
"Okay, someone is always interested in relationships of other people.", Aarav commented.
"Love in general means happiness, it is not necessary that you must be involved in that love story, you can be happy for someone too.", Keya said with a small smile.
"Keya? My tomboy? What is wrong with you!?", Aarav said dramatically, taking her in a hug and ruffling her head.
"Aarav Kohli! How many times do I tell you not to mess up with my hair!", she shouted, kicking him on the shin bone.

"Keya? You are seriously okay right?! You talked about love like girls do.", Sam said still in shock.
"I am a girl, Sam.", she said rolling her eyes.
"Oh no no... God made a small mistake aur tu ladka bante bante ladki ban gyi!", Aarav said giggling.
"Whatever, What help do you need?", Keya asked Sam, ignoring Aarav's comment.
"The plan is ......", Sam gave them out his well versed plan.

"Damn! I last came here when I was like 7 or something?", Sam said as soon as they came out of the Delhi Airport.
"You are really excited. aren't you?", Zahra asked.
"I feel like singing all the Bollywood patriotic songs right now. I am that level excited!", Sam said with a huge grin.
"Oh god! Let me disown you first.", Aarav muttered.
"Keya will be my partner, won't you Keya?", Sam asked.
Keya seemed lost in her thoughts.
"Tomboy! Hey!", Aarav called out snapping his fingers in front of her eyes.
"Huh!", Keya jerked out to reality.
"What happened? Are you alright?", Zahra asked.

"Yes Zee.", she replied with a small smile.

They proceeded to the studio apartment they had booked and immediately slept off, excited to start off the trip next day!
