The Arrangement

chapter 03|•

I tried my best not to show my proud smile. I mean she did the right thing right there.

"There is no worries bear, I can pay for you." She said and I could feel Aarohi getting angry. Who wouldn't?

"Better pay attention on the surrounding before paying for your bear."

This time I spoke, emphasizing the word pay and bear. And I hate to say this but, hah, I loved her reaction. Pissed, that's what I wanted her to be.

Aarohi chuckled which didn't go unnoticed by Dhruv and his Naya.
Dhruv glared at her and spoke.

"What's with your behaviour guys? Beizzati toh mat karo uski."
(Atleast don't insult her)

"Beizzati? Beizzati uski hoti hai jiski koi izzat ho, uski nahi jisko koi izzat hi na ho."
(Insult? The one who has respect is insulted, not the one who has no respect)

Haha, I felt so proud for saying that and Aarohi patted my back with a smile then laughing.

"I didn't know y'all hated me so much, I shouldn't have come here." She said, fake crying.

"Oh please stop with your drama, and get lost before we actually make you cry." I said and she left.

"That's my girl!" Aarohi shouted gaining attention of the people around us. She chuckled nervously.

"kaha jaa raha hai? Baith chup chap, aur ye jo khana bacha hai na wo kha."
(Where are you going? Sit quietly and eat the food which is left)

Aarohi ordered Dhruv as he was about to follow Shanaya. Or that's what we thought.

"Tension mat le uske piche nahi jaa raha hu, haath dhone jaa raha hu, gande ho gaye hai."
(Don't worry, I'm not going behind her, I'm going to wash my hands, they're dirty)

Aarohi nodded and he went to wash his hands.

"Iske paas uska number kyu hai? Ye kyu baat karta hai usse?"
(Why does he have her number? Why does he talk to her?)

I frowned listening to the questions.

"Phele se dost hai wo log"
(They are friends since the start)

I said while looking at Aarohi who was burning in anger?

"Kyu? Usko koi aur nahi mila iske alawa?"
(Why? She didn't get anyone else apart of him?)

"Tu thik toh hai na Aarohi? Ek min... Kahi tu use like toh nhi karti?"
(Are you okay Aarohi? One minute... You like him?)

I asked while streching my eyebrows. Her expression changed within seconds, and was replaced by nervousness.

"A-isa kuch nahi hai. Usko kon like karega?"
(Nothing like that. Who will like him?)

She stammered, and looked here and there.

"Tu mujhse ye baat kese chupa sakti hai?"
(How can you hide this from me?)

I said feeling betrayed for some reason. I mean she shares everything. Literally everything.

"Aisa kuch nahi hai yaar. Wo bas mein.."
(Nothing like that. That I..)

"Wo bas tu kya? Itna ruk ruk ke bolne ki zarurat nahi hai."
(That you what? There's no need to pause and say)

I said getting frustrated.

"Wo bas mein khud sure nahi hu iss baare mein."
(That I'm not sure myself about this.)

She said in a rajdhani speed while her eyes closed. Ok it was understandable though.

"Tu kab kis chiz ko leke sure hoti hai?"
(When are you sure about anything?)
