#Chapter 10: Perfect solution

Akki and Rashi was having a heated argument when Anusha came home with Alvin. They don't fight usually, but when they do, they are the most hell bent couple in the world. Today they were arguing about Ninnu's bday party. Rashi wants a house party with family and immediate friends, where she can cook for them but Akki had another ideas. He wanted to invite his colleagues and friends and families which will be a total around hundred. So house party is not an option, so Akki got carried away on his brilliant idea and booked a party hall in the Indian restaurant without Rashi's consent.

Apparently Rashi is not happy about Akki's plan. Rashi was angry that Akki didn't tell her about his plans and it was true, but he had booked the party hall for coming Friday, so Akki was trying to pursue her, which wasn't going well till now.
Anusha and Alvin landed right in the middle of the fight, that they have left with no choice than siding with them. Akki asked Anusha to convince her friend and she nodded in response. This is not going to be easy she thought herself, since she didn't tell her about the hospital visit. She walked to their bedroom, where Rashi was sitting silently with Ninnu in her arms. Ninnu jumped into her arms as soon as she sat beside Rashi.

'Rashi...you are angry and I know you have a very good reason for it, but
Akki booked the venue already, so can't you just let it go this time? Please??' Anusha looked at her friend with pleading eyes.

'Don't try to side with him Anu, specially you. I don't know what is so wrong with me, my close friend didn't tell me about her health condition and I have to find out about it from Alvin. You find me as a nuisance ? This is what I get from my loved ones' she sobbed.
Oh...so she knew already... thanks to Alvin..he already filled her in.. great!!

She was thinking another way to convince her friend Alvin came to the room. He raised her eyebrows to her and she shrugged.

'Why it feels like that a war has broken out here?' he asked looking at both of them.

'Need any help?'
Anusha sighed and moved to the end of the bed, to make some space for him. He sat in between them and took Rashi's hand in his.

'See Rashi, I am on your side, what he did was stupid. But he wanted to surprise you with his perfect plan. He thought that you will be happy to know that he had arranged everything and you have nothing to worry about it and he wanted you to enjoy the day without working in the kitchen for the party...still he should have told you before booking the place...but you know him...he can be dumbass at times..' he said with a chuckle and Rashi smiled.

'Yes.. sometimes he can be very stupid'

Wait...she smiled, that is a good sign... isn't it?

'Yep...so just forgive him already and we will arrange the party exactly the way you want. If you want to show off your cooking skills, you can prepare something for dessert and we will help you. Is that ok?' he looked at her playfully.

'Yes..more than ok.. thank you'. Rashi smiled again and Alvin patted her hand.

'And for Anusha, you can give her an ear full, because she deserves one'

'Traitor..' Anusha glared at him and he winked in response.

'Yeah I will see to that..and both of you will help me to decide the menu and dessert'
'Of course we will... Now go to Akki.. enough drama for today'
'Ok..ok... I am going ' she took Ninnu and left the room.
He stood up to leave and Anusha gave him a punch in the arm

'What was that?'

'What?' he gave an innocent look.

'You are such a smooth talker, you just got your way with Akki and didn't save me at all..' she said and placed her hands on hips.
