Together Forever

Chapter 10: Unknown feelings

Sanskaar opened the back door and Mia hopped in quickly. He fastened her seatbelts and sat on the driver's seat and drove off.

"Your house right?" He asked.

"Yes." Swara answered as she fastened her own seatbelt after she sat.

"Are you going into that secret room cave like house that is in your lawn Shona?" Mia suddenly spoke and Swara turned behind. Mia always wanted to go in there but neither her mom nor Shona let her in.

"Cave house?" He chuckled at the little one's description.

"It's wine house Mia." Swara corrected her. "And you are not coming inside that room if you want I can drop you in my house and you stay with maasi." Of course she knew what was running on Mia's head.

"No!!! I am not going anywhere." Mia shouted and made a pout.

"Mia." Sanskaar called her and adjusted the rear view glass to see Mia.

"Yes Sanskaar." She chirped looking at her friend through the glass.

"You've forgot, not only your Shona but also your friend is here." He complained.

"Sanskaar how can I forget you?" Mia said and gave a flying kiss to him, he acted to catch it and keep it and in return Sanskaar gave a flying kiss too. Mia giggled.

"Shona, Sanskaar there's a Ibaco!" She pointed at the shop which was on the right. "Please!"

"Absolutely no. You got fever last week and I am not buying that now." Swara denied making Mia pout.

"Shona baby please." She begged.

"Swara, it's just ice-cream." Sanskaar supported Mia.

"Sanskaar you better start the car and go to my house or else I'm going by walk." She warned him and gave glares at Mia who by had a puppy dog face.

"But--" she paused when she saw her friend nodded in no to her to keep silent now. Understanding the hint she quickly showed him a thumbs up and immediately put on a sad face.

Sanskaar parked the car near Swara's house.

"Mia you won't trouble your friend." Swara said and went inside her house.

"Friend?" Mia called Sanskaar. He leaned backwards and unbuckled her. The little one hopped in the passenger seat with a giggle.

"Are we going to--"

"Ibaco! To celebrate our first day of friendship." Sanskaar completed her words.

"Wow! You are the bestest friend ever." Mia jumped into his arms in joy.

"Now let's go before we get caught by your Shona di." Sanskaar said and made her sit on the front seat. Mia giggled thinking about her Shona di while Sanskaar started the engine and drove off to Ibaco.

Exactly 15 minutes later Swara came out with the paper bag which had two bottles of tequila and when she opened the car door she was shocked seeing Mia having five scoops of different ice-creams pilled up one above the other and same five scoops of ice-creams in his hands as well.

Mia and Sanskaar looked each since they got caught.

"Sanskaar!" Swara gasped in horror.

"What?" He chuckled seeing her expression.

"God! What am I even going to do with you both." Swara asked herself and slapped her forehead playfully.

"I don't know. She just asked for ice-cream, you denied so I took her. Simple!" He shrugged his shoulders.
