He uncrossed his legs and leaned forward in his chair. "Tell them partner, who was it?"
"It was Natasha." I said unevenly.
"Lie." He hissed. "It was me."
"You really thought that I was the kind of guy who would leave one girlfriend and jump to anot...
"You really thought you could win that bet?" Avi muttered under his breath.
"No, I was feeling horny, so thought of taking my chances." I snapped, struggling to solve the code Mentor Luke had written on the white board.

"Here, I solved it." He pushed his notebook towards me.
MUSIC IN THE SOUL CAN BE HEARD BY THE UNIVERSE!
"Claim the points." Avinash chuckled.
I may have been super mad at him, but we needed the points so my hand immediately shot up.
"Yes Ms. Banerjee?" Mentor Luke peered at me, over his glasses.
"Music in the soul can be heard by the Universe." I said, sounding bored.
"Six points it is". Mentor Luke replied cheerfully, "Well done, Ms. Banerjee."
"And I don't get any credit?" Avinash scowled as I sat down.
"Next time if you want a pat on your back, raise your hand," I snapped and watched him rub his chin, smiling slightly.
"You are still coming to Jaipur right?" He asked uncertainly.
"Yes." I paused "But I have a condition."
Avinash raised one brow.
"We will dutch the transport." I said stubbornly.
Irritated by my words he brought out his phone and laid it on the table for me to see. The gmail window was occupying his phone's screen.
"Dear Mr. Chauhan,
We are pleased to inform you that your booking for round trip between Dehradun and Jaipur is confirmed. This trip is complimentary from our side, a gesture of gratitude for your previous assistance.
"Happy?" He scoffed. "We are leaving day after tomorrow, and returning on the Boxing day."
"I have to book a hotel." I said, doodling absentmindedly on my notebook.
"Why would you stay in a hotel?" Avinash sounded surprised "I have a house."
"You really didn't expect me to stay at your house?" I giggled.
"Of course I did." He frowned.
"Hmmm, I knew you wanted me to be your first too." I smirked.
"HA HA." he faked a laugh. "I don't slip Naxi." He said staring at the whiteboard.
"We will see," I murmured.
************* "But I thought you weren't going home." Mia asked surprised.
"You aren't going to be here, and I am madly craving the Kolkata warmth. This place is horribly cold." I lied, packing my suitcase.
