Chapter 2

"getting bored", queried the voice. Aarush eyed him in confusion. The person understood why was he peering him in such looks and then pouted after hitting his forehead, "oops... Hi.. Rony".

"main Rony nahi hun", chuckled arrush innocently.
"are main Rony hun, sweetheart", he replied politely.

"amma ne strangers se baat karne se mana kiya hai"
"okey fine. Don't talk. But what you think about a game? Usme to baat karne ki zarurat bhi nahi"

"umm okey", chirped arrush like an adult twisting his lips.

He settled the ball in ground marking two coconut trees as goal point and kicked the ball. Both started playing arrush did not let rony take the ball. He was giggling and laughing happily. Finally rony lost the battle and both took their places.

"not bad champ, tum to kitna achha khelte ho"
"main jaanta hun apne mujhe jitne diya"

"who said? You are real champ, mujhe to ball pakadna bhi nahi aata"
"jhut mat bolo. Main aaj tak ek bhi match nahi jita. Ap jaan bujh k haare ho. Meko sab pataa hai kyunki main sirf height se chhota hu. Mera dimaag Einstain ki tarah daudta hai :p mmm", he chuckled pointing his brain through his index finger.

He smiled at his innocence.

"ap aise kyun smile kar rahe ho", asked arrush.
"actually, maine socha mera naya friend kaafi intellegent hai. To kyun na main usse uska naam puchh lun", he replied lovingly taking him into his lap.

"oh, to apko mera intro chahiye"
"wow! Tum to bahat smart ho. To chalo apna intro do"

He jumped down from his lap and stood like an obidient student joining his hands.

"I am Arrush Iyer. I am coming from Tamil Nadu before a week with my amma. I live in Andheri west", he said in one go gritting his teeth.
Rony smiled again and replied taking him once again in his lap "pehla sentence sahi hai". Arrush nodded. "2nd sentence me coming nahi hoga kyunki tum already aa chuke ho. To bolna I have come from Tamil Nadu with my mother", he continued making him understand.

"par wo to meri amma hai"
"hai par kya hai na, ye english na thoda sanki hai isliye amma ko mother bolta hai. To chalo ab bolo. I have"
"I have", repeated arrush.

"come from"
"come from"

"tamil nadu with my mother"
"tamil nadu with my mother. Aur 3rd sentence?"

"bilkul correct hai"
"haan lekin main apka friend nahi hun", he complained.

"oh, ye to problem hai. To kaise main tumhara friend banu", asked rony making a confused face.
He tapped his chin through his index finger, then said excitingly, "umm, mujhe football khelna sikhao".

"okey done. Par english nahi sikhni"
"nahi, amma ne kaha hai, wo mera naye school me admission karwayengi"

"oh kahan hai tumhari amma", asked rony.
"wahaan", he said pointing towards sanyukta who was sitting facing them back.

Arrush pulled his hand to make him meet sanyukta. He silently follwed him. But in the midway, he stopped.

"ek minute, main amma se kya kahunga ki ap kaun ho"
"rony"

"are buddhu", he slapped his forehead. "main naam leke thodi bula sakta hun apko, ap itneeee bade ho mujhse", he said measuring their heights.

"umm maine suryavansham me dekha hai. Amitabh bachchan bolta hai, dost bulao hume", he said in a heavy voice copying amitabh. "so tum bhi mujhe dost bulao", he added.
