And then thereâs him!âşď¸
âIf you keep accusing him of being a fraud then he is right dude, either find something or keep quiet until you doâ Lavanya urged her
Gargi was picking up the food at Haldirams in GK
âI told him just a couple times, because nothing about the way I married him was legitâ
âSo you should have said no na?â
âSimpleâ Gargi nodded her head
âYou two are ganging up against meâ
âNo u dum dumâŚ. If you want to accuse Pia of something
âNo I DIDNâTâ taaruni bristled
âSshhhhh, sun meri baat yaarâ Gargi held her arm as Taaruni was agitated
âSHE accused me of stealing her Mumâs chappalsâ Taaruni was still stinging from it
âI know⌠u told usâŚ. Just eat nowâ
âYou guys think I am a psychoâ
Taaruni teared up
âWe DONâTâ Lavanya signaled Gargi to back off
âDonât talk about whatever Pia says to you he is going to come back and say âU called me a thiefâ basâ
âI know I walked into this voluntarilyâ (shooting her temple with her fingers) âBamm!! But I feel so trappedâ
âU are such an idiotâŚâŚ.. nothing is unsolveable. True Papa ki store chali jaayegi, but donât ever do those hand gesturesâ Lavanya reached and gave her a hug
âI feel by the time I find dirt on his company my store will be a rubble, phir ki farq painda haigaâ she chuckled tearfully
âDonât think that will make him apologize and give you your store backâ Gargi panicked
âHe SHOULD right?â
âHe comes across as such a decent guyâ Lavanya was confused
âI donât know what he sees in that stupid plot of land where Papa has the store, I mean Ive looked at all the 10ish places where they are building, its all acres of open land, overlooking forests etcâŚ. this building in Chandigarh is in a densely populated market place, and not even pretty, Ajit Singh is not even like a movie villain ki koi revenge chal raha haiâ
âJust unfortunateâ Gargi sighed⌠âLosing Uncle and this whole messâ
âI LOVEEEEEE his motherâŚ. She is like a full on angel dudeâ
âI knew it⌠mineâs a witchâŚâ Lavanya groaned
They talked about marital problems for the next hours giggling
The two friends cheered her up by saying âFake marriage brings good in-lawsâ
âSeriouslyâ they all cackled like silly teenagers
âDid u say sorry for accusing him of fraudâ
âNope⌠I left it at that⌠we both are not talking to each otherâ
She shrugged
Then blushed
She was hinting they were a couple⌠she realized
âI mean⌠I doubt he caresâ she recovered chwing down on her meal, glancing casually at other diners
The front door opened, and two guys entered
âShât Sh-t Sh-tâ she cursed inaudibly
It was Amandeep and the man himself
Spiffy, buttoned up, wearing grey neatly ironed khakhis, and a blue check flannel shirt folded to the elbows, tucked in, black sporty lace up shoes
She turned the other way, her friends had their back to the door
âPlease not hereâ PleaseâŚ. Pleaseâ she prayed
There were many empty tables by them
âKha naaa what happened?â Lavanya squeezed her hand
âThere is fraud burglary malpractice hateful sister, and then there is THISâ she groaned in her head âThis fluttering, heart racing, yearning to touch you physically, wanting to be with you all the time, look at you drool over youâ âSuch a mess!! Who even crushes on someone they hate?â
âTarooooo earth calling Tarooooâ
As if he could hear that allllll the way over there⌠yes over there wherever by the cash register waiting to pick up foodâ he turned around when he heard the screeching Taroo from Gargi
His eyes lit up
She waved weakly
He just stood there goblling her with his eyes
âI donât look 1% as delish you man!! I am like chaar din purana rotiâŚ. Umm.. you look like gajar ka halwaâ she thought
She looked at her dress
It was a burgundy velvet blouse paired with blue jeans, her gold hoops and high pony tail no make up no mascaraâŚ
âNiiice⌠I look like s---â
Too late because Aman and him approached their table purposefully
Aman had a big smile plastered on his face
He set his tray on a table by them, and reached for her
âI knew why he angled for Haldiramsâ he hugged her warmly
Pradyut was greeting Gargi and Lavanya
âShould we join the tables?â Gargi asked politely
âNooooooooooooooooooâ her mind voice screamed
âTaaraâ Pradyut reached for the greet hug
âYaha kya kar rahe ho tum Pradyutâ she whispered in his ear going on her toes
â unapproved time off from work?â he mocked her back in her ear
âItâs a FRIDAYYYYâ she scowled in his ear
âUmm.. itâs a work dayâŚ. So yeah⌠theres thatâ he whispered
âTUM kya kar rahe ho?â
âI was in Goa yesterdayâ he smiled
âTum Goa gaye the?â she was shocked, she had stayed over at his parents last night after watching a movie
âGot back 20 minutes agoâ
