Just Like That! [ A Carryminati & Manan FF ]

13

Coming out of the arrival’s gate, Malar scanned through the crowd for once.

On spotting Yash and Ajey, she straightaway headed towards them with her luggage.

Coridally smiling at the Nagar brothers, Malar greeted “hi guys…hope you were not waiting for long???”

Being extra sweet, Ajey proclaimed “arrey nehin…hum log toh dus minute pehele hi airport aye the….hai naa Yash????”

Invoulantarily playing along with Ajey, Yash confirmed “haan…bass 10 minute pehele hi aye the according to Ajey’s watch!!!!”

Both the brothers shared an awkward smile, which went unnoticed by Malar.

Trying to come out of the awkawardness, Yash initiated “waise how was yaar flight Malar???”

Malar, calmly spoke “it was good!!!...actually…kal ghar pein theek se baat karne ka muka nehi mila… so….do you mind…if I call you Yash bhai???”

Feeling overwhelmed by his hidden emotions, Yash spontaneously agreed “mind karne ka toh sawaal hi nehi paida hota!!!...trust me I would be the happiest person in this whole universe…if you would address me as bhai!!!....you know Malar…I always wanted a cute little sister…and it seems that God just fulfilled my wish!!!”

Scared would be an understatement, Ajey was freaking out.

The only thought running through Ajey’s mind was that what if he was next in line to become Malar’s so called ‘BHAI’.

Dreading the possibilities, Ajey tried distracting them “tum dono bhi kya baatein leeke baith gaye!!!....raat bahut ho chukka hai…chalo naa ghar chalte hai!!!!”

Getting alert, Malar proclaimed “Yeah Ajey is right!!!...we should leave now!!!”

Saying this, Malar was about to pick up her trolley when Ajey held it “arrey lao trolley mujhe doo...main leke chalta hu naa car taak!!!”

Malar politely tried to deny "it’s fine Ajey…I can carry it on my own!!!"

Interwining between them, Yash insisted “Malar let him pick the trolley naa…waise bhi Ajey ko coolie baan naa pasand hai!!!”

Following this statement both Malar and Ajey gasped “WHAT????”

Regretting his slip of toungue, Yash tried to do some damage control “mera matlab Ajey likes to help!!!...woh kabhi bhi coolie…driver…cook baan jaati hai…obviously to help others”

Nodding her head, Malar let Ajey have her luggage and started walking towards the parking lot.

Trudinng behind Malar, Ajey gave a thrashing to Yash “coolie.. driver…cook!!!!!....what the heck were you thinking dude????”

Yash tried to defend himself “main toh sirf teri tareef kar raha tha yaar Ajey!!!”

Rolling his eyes, Ajey retorted “tareef????...are you kidding me???’’bhai aisi kaun si tareef hoti hai????”

There banter session was interrupted mid way by Malar “any problem guys???”

Faking a smile, the Nagar brothers said in unison “NOPEEEEEEEE”

Mouthing an ‘OKAY’ Malar followed Yash and Ajey who lead her to the car.

Reaching the car, Ajey went towards the dicky to place Malar’s luggage. While Malar made her move towards the backseat.

Rembering about there bet, Yash immediately stopped her “Malar…woh darsal saamne baithne se naa mere pairon mein dard hone laagta hai..issliye kya tum Ajey ke saath baith jaogi please???…”

Worrying about Yash’s health, Malar instantly agreed.

After placing the luggage successfully, when Ajey finally took the driver seat, he found Malar already present beside him.

Looking through the rare view mirror, Ajey found Yash winking at him.

Nodding his head in disbelief, Ajey turned on the ignition key and headed towards Nagar House.

Taking her face near the car’s window, Malar let the cool breeze sooth her nerves.

Leaving behind all her troubles at the bay, it didn’t take much time for Malar to give in to her sleep.

Noticing Malar fast asleep, Ajey consciously started avoiding all the bumps and potholes on his way.

Halting his car infront of the house, after 45 minutes of driving, Ajey signaled Yash to get out of the car.

Once out of the car, Yash moved towards Ajey’s side and whispered “now listen to me very carefully Mr Ajey Nagar….pehele toh tu bahut pyaar se meri behen ko jaaga…aur phir dickey se usska luggage collect kar ke..usse bade hi dhyaan se ghar ke andaar leeke aa!!!”

Scowling at Yash, Ajey commented “oh new found behen ke bade bhai!!!...agar tujhe itni hi fikar ho rahi hai…toh tu khud kyon Malar ka luggage leeke ghar ke andar kyin nehi jaati???”

Giving a mischevious smile, Yash stated “agar main luggage leeke andar gaya toh tere saath naainsaafi ho jaegi yaar!!!...tujhe toh aapne coolie wale skills dikhane ka mauka hi nehin milega!!!”

Gritting his teeth, Ajey just mumbled “kabhi kabhi mujhe laagta hai Yash…ki mera sab se bada dushman tu hi hai!!!”

Grinning like afool Yash left from there, not before mouthing a ‘THANK YOU’ to irritate Ajey more.

As soon as Yash was out of sight, Ajey turned towards the sleeping beauty.

Even after witing for ten minutes, Ajey couldn’t gather the courage to wake Malar up from her peaceful sleep.

With a bit hesitation, Ajey leaned towards Malar to unfasten her seat belt.

As Ajey tried to reach the buckle, he got more close to Malar.

Trying to comtrol his accelerating heart beats, Ajey avoided looking at Malar’s sleepy face.

Ajet just wanted to unfasten the seat belt as quickly as possible, but to his bad luck, Malar woke up and directly looked into his eyes.

For few seconds, Ajey felt captivated by Malar’s child like gaze.

Breaking the eyelock, Ajey immediately backed off and started blabbering out of nervousness “I am sorry….I really sorry!!!!...main toh…bass woh seat belt kholne ki koshish kar rah tha!!!..mummy kasam mere intentions bure nehi the…I am so sorry!!!... I am so stupid!!!...I should have waited…or should have called you!!!...arrey yaar yeh sab kuch main karne se pehele kyon nehi socchta hu…please tum mere bareme galat maat samajh naa…yaar main ne jaan bujh ke nehin kiya…”

Ajey would have continued with his monologue, if Malar had not placed her hand on his arm.

Feeling Malar’s hand on his arm, Ajey instantly became quiet.

Taking the lead, Malar urged “Ajey…breath in…and then breath out….”

Doing as Malar directed him, Ajey felt a bit composed.

Removing her hand from his arm, Malar gently stated “Ajey…I trust you!!!...so take a chill pill”
