OUR SECRET(old version)

CHAPTER 20

"Not to be rude or offend you but you can afford expensive stuff then why do you buy cheap stuff?",I ask .

"It depends on person to person I guess . I have 2-3 reasons",she starts to tell me .

"First it saves me money . Second we can use it 5-6 times and then can throw it away easily if it gets damaged . But if the thing is expensive we can't just throw it away . Also there are times when it lasts long . Third as it's cheap I can buy more and can use it on more casual outfits rather than repeating it on different outfits",she says .

"Also I only buy cheap casual jewellery and sometimes clothes or bags or sometimes sandels as it can also longlast few times",she says .

"Makes sense . Maybe I should also try to buy things which I don't use much of cheap price or medium price only",I say .

"Oh you definately should",she says .

"Ahh Pani Puri ! Come on let's go",she says .

"Pani puri here?",I ask .

"Yes what's the problem?",she asks .

"I have never eaten street pani puri",I tell her and she looks at me like I grew two big horns .

"No way ?! You haven't eat street pani puri yet?",she asks in disbelief and I shake my head negatively .

"I have only eaten the ones made at home the puri included",I say .

"That's it we are now definately eating pani puri here and it's my treat",she says and practically drags me to the pani puri stall .

The Pani puri bhaiya gives us bowls .

"Khatta ya meetha ya dono?",he asks .
[Tangy or sweet or both?]

"Dono",Shruti tells him .
[Both]

"What about you?",she asks me .

"Whatever you have",I say .

"Bhaiya inke liye bhi khatta meetha banana",she tells him .
[Brother make him both too]

He gives us our first puri and when I eat it my expressions change from slightly worried to happy .

It was so damn tasty .

"How it is ? Your first street pani puri?",Shruti asks .

"This is so amazing I want more",I tell her .

"Bhaiya thoda aur theekha banana",I tell the pani puri waala bhaiya and Shruti looks at me like she achieved a goal .
[Brother make it a little more spicy]

And that's how Shruti and I ended up eating 3 plates of pani puri each but I still wanted to eat more .

From now onwards only street pani puri no home pani puri .

"I should make my family eat this . I am sure Aahan has already eaten this and I am sure Niharika will love it",I say .

"I know a famous pani puri waala in Mumbai take them there",Shruti says .

We explore the rest of the market while talking about random things and I even bought jewellery for Ma and Niharika .

Me and Shruti were in Pranjal and Angad's car again .

"Btw Pranjal what are your functions outfit ? You haven't showed us yet",Shruti asks .
