A Mischievous Gutsy Girl.

Chapter 9. Cold Shoulders.

[ Translation : "Very good! Means, Bro! Someone should learn from you to spend money unnecessarily in the name of protection!" ]

He sighs, "Baby, I can't do anything in this one."

She gives him a bright fake smile, "Dadaa! आपने पहले भी क्या उखाड़ लिया था?"

[ Translation : "Dadaa, what did you do before?" ]

"Shut up!" He says boringly which makes her confused then she smiles mischievously and asks as if he is a baby, "पप्पा ने डाँटा?"

[ Translation : "Father scolded?" ]

He nods pouting making some elders chuckle amusedly seeing him acting like a kid for the first time. She laughs at him to which he makes an irritated face and whines, "Stop laughing at me! Will you?"

"Not really!" She says giggling making her mother smile seeing her laugh carefree. He glares at her shutting her giggling to which after few seconds she bursts out laughing. Bhishma folds his hands and looks at his youngest bestie angrily.

"He never behaved like this with us." Vinayak, Manav's father says in a daze and Avneesh chuckles while Vineet just stares at his daughter's laughing state.

"हंसो! हंसो! बहुत मज़ा आ रहा है न?" He asks her smiling fakely with anger to which she nods repeatedly laughing at him.

[ Translation : "Laugh! Laugh! You are having a lot of fun, aren't you?" ]

He makes a face then gets up shouting getting attention with his irritation, "Fine! You laugh, I'm leaving!"

Nishi grabs his hand stopping him and says laughing, "अच्छा, I'm sorry यार! Sit na!"
The scene earns some giggles and smiles from here and there except Vihaan, Kabir, Akriti, Arika and Anshuman.

[ Translation : "Alright, I'm sorry man! Sit no!" ]

He gets irritated and sits while complaining, "This is all because of your father! He makes me work day and night without offering any break!"

She says with a serious face, "इसीलिए कहती हूँ, शादी कर लो! अरे शादी नहीं तो at least एक गर्लफ्रेंड ही बना लो! फ़िर तो ना चाहकर भी वो तुम्हें break दे देंगे. But नहीं, तुम्हे मेरी सुननी कहाँ होती है! अब भुगतो!" He glares at her but then laughs when she snickers.

[ Translation : "That's why I say, get married! If you don't get married, at least make a girlfriend! Then he will give you break even if he does not want to. But no, where do you have to listen to me! Suffer now!" ]

Everyone was enjoying themselves and Vihaan was looking at the duo while fisting his hands as he wipes them in a tissue paper ripping it into the smallest size possible.

"You are still the same! ड्रामेबाज़!" She shows her tongue to him to which he smiles and asks, "Care to eat something?"

[ Translation : ड्रामेबाज़ – Drama queen. ]

"Naah! मुझे मरना नहीं है इन्ना तेल-मसाला खाकर!" She says nonchalantly with irritation.

[ Translation : "No! I don't want to die after eating this much oil and spices!" ]

"There is also ice cream and Golgappe you know!" He tells her with a teasing smile.

[ Panipuri (originally known as Jalapatra from Mahabharat times) , Gupchup, Golgappa, or Bani ke patashe is a type of snack originating in the Indian subcontinent, where it is an extremely common street food. ]
