EPISODE-8

 

The phone was ringing. Navin took the call.

"Hello Bhaiyya...aapne call kiya tha. Sorry main class mein thi. That's why couldn't take your call. Kya hua?"

"Nothing much. Tu ek kaam kar. Sharp at 1, see me at CP."

"CP...Why?"

"Kuch nahin baba. Bas thodi shopping karenge and then we'll take our lunch together. Waise bhi ghar mein baithe baithe hum dono bore ho gaye hain."

"Lekin Bhaiyya how can I come. Meri to class hai."

"Ek din agar class bunk kar legi to fail nahin ho jaayegi. Sharp at 1...Central Park. Okay!! We'll be waiting."

"Fine. I'll be there. See ya."

 

Navin, Rajveer and Naina entered the restaurant. Navin was placing the order at the counter. Naina was arranging the shopping bags. Rajveer was sitting right in front of her across the table. Naina turned to him and noticed his smirk.

"Aapko kya hua?"

He pointed towards Navin. Naina saw him talking to a girl. He was trying to flirt...again.

"Uff... yeh Bhaiyya bhi na."

"Naina tum hyper kyun ho jaati ho Navin ko flirt karta hua dekh ke?"       

"You really wanna know that....Coool...I'll show you something. Lekin uske liye aapko meri choti si help karni hogi."

"Help...What help?"

"Hold my hand."

"What?"

"Raj...just HOLD MY HAND. Come on hurry up. Bhaiyya aa rahe hain."

Raj took her hands in his own and said "You know something Naina...You are impossible."

"Thanks Raj." She blushed pretentiously as Rajveer kissed on her hand.

"Helloooo!!! What is this happening here?" Navin came running.

"Kya ho raha hai...Kuch bhi to nahin." Naina answered. "Bas woh Raj meri tareef kar rahe the. You know Bhaiyya Raj is soo sweeet and sooo cuuute!"

Navin took out Naina's hand from Rajveer's.

"Ab aap dono apna yeh mutual admiration club band karenge." Navin snapped.

"Now you see Raj main hyper kyu ho jaati hoon." Rajveer and Naina started laughing and Rajveer gave her a high five.

"Navin...I didn't expect this from you at least." Rajveer taunted.

"Really Raj...what else was I supposed to do to see my best friend and my sister flirting."

"How dare you try flirt Raj...Woh Bhaiyya ka copyright hai. Understand yaar."

"Alright Naina now just stop pulling my leg."

Their conversation was interrupted by the girl who was with Navin on the counter just a while ago.

"Hi again...Do you mind me joining at your table. Actually the restaurant is full. So...May I?"

Navin got up. "Yeah sure. Why not."

He looked at Naina. To his surprise she was smiling.

"Yeah sure. Please do join us."

Saying this Naina got up from her chair and offered it to her. She herself sat on the chair right next to Rajveer.

"By the way Raj, You didn't tell me tumhe Delhi kaisa laga." Naina asked him putting her hand on his. Rajveer returned her a big smile and answered looking into her eyes. "Jitna socha tha usse kahin zyada acha aur interesting bhi."

Navin looked at two of them and shook his head. But this time he didn't stop them. Four of them enjoyed their lunch. The food was good and the company- GREAT!!!
