Akshit (sighed in relief): Haa... Main meeting se aaya to direct Kids' zone gaya to pick her up but Hazel vaha thi hi nahi. I was worried ke kahi tum bhul to nahi gayi usko pick karna.
Zalak (rolling her eyes): I am not careless, okay? I was enjoying spending time with her. That's why I decided to stay here till you come back.
Akshit: Oh! Alright... Lunch kiya Hazel ne?
Hazel: Haa Akshit uncle. Aap chocy leke aaye?
Akshit: Pura din chocy chaye. Teeth tut jayege sab phir bua mujhe gussa karegi.
Zalak: Chalo main chalti hoon.
Akshit: No wait! Mujhe kuch baat karni thi. I was thinking Avni ya Sid se number leke call karu but tum yehi ho to it's much better. Meri cabin me chal kar baithte hai?
Zalak: Sure...
They went into Akshit's room.
Zalak: Hazel it's sleep time.
Hazel (frown): No sleep. Akshit uncle game khele?
Akshit: Abhi nahi... Abhi mujhe Zalak se bahut important baat karni hai. Jab tak tum rest karo phir uthne ke baad hum bahut sari games khelege.
Hazel (pout): Zalak di...
Zalak: You should sleep, Hazel. He is right.
Hazel: Katti katti...
Akshit (chuckle): Zalak tumhe pata hai shaam ko main Tom and Jerry ki new movie aayegi. Vo dekhuga main to.
Hazel (pout): Hazel baby?
Akshit: Hazel baby to shaam ko so jayegi. Ab nahi soyegi to. Dekhni hai movie?
Hazel nodded with puppy eyes.
Akshit: To so jao jaldi se.
Hazel nodded. Akshit took her and made her sleep.
Zalak: Bolo?
Akshit: You told us about Sid's date, remember?
Zalak: Hmm... Don't take it seriously. Vo to mom was-
Akshit (giggle, cuts her): Sid already told me everything. Don't worry.
Zalak: Hush! Okay?
Akshit: I know everything but not Avneet. Now she is feeling jealous. Luckily, Sid couldn't get a chance to explain her. But the main problem is Sid is taking her jealousy as something else
Zalak (confused): I am not getting it.
Akshit: Sid ko lag raha hai Avni hurt hai ke as friend usne Avni ko pehle nahi bataya.
Zalak (smacking her forehead): Ye gadha na apni feelings realize kar raha hai aur na Avni ki samajh raha hai.
Akshit (confused): Usne apni feelings to kar li realize.
Zalak (shocked): What? Usne khud bataya tumhe?
Akshit nodded with frown.
Zalak: Mujhe nahi bataya usne. Aane do is gadhe ko. Airport se kaan khech kar leke jaugi ghar tak.
Akshit (shocked): Bata dega na. Nervous ho maybe ya kuch aur ho mind me. Maine bataya tumhe. Ye point leke tum us par gussa karogi to mere par na gussa kare.
Zalak: Huhhh!!! Fine.
Akshit (sigh): Ab hume kya karna chaye?
Zalak: Pehle to us gadhe ko samajhana padega ke she is jealous. Aur maybe aag lagi hui hai Avni ke side to usme ghee daalna. Jaise aag bade aur usko dikhai de.
Akshit: Umm... Okay. But ek confusion hai. Sid ko humne samajha diya and usne ye jalti hui aag par pani daal diya to?
Zalak (raising her eyebrow): You mean to say ye misunderstanding sort kar di to?
Akshit (nodded): Like abhi bhi bas usko ek chance mil gaya to misunderstanding solve ho jayegi in few minutes aur ye to jealousy hai.
Zalak (thinking deeply): Baat to sahi hai. Mera bhai hai to gadha. Any idea kitne din lagege usko aane me?
Akshit: I guess 4-5... Maybe by the end of weekdays.
Zalak: Hum in dono ko baat hi na kar de to?
Akshit: How's that possible?
Zalak: Office me Avni busy rahegi as project hai uske pass. But ghar par?
Akshit: Office to I guess bahut busy hogi as new clients are way too demanding and perfectionist and vo log ke rehte aese Avni ko proper lunch ka chance nahi mil raha.
Zalak (smirk): Perfect!! Office me Avni baat kar nahi sakti and ghar par hum Hazel ko bolte hai not to let them talk. Plus, main bhi try karugi Sid ko jitna ho sake call par rakhne ki. Aur aur aur Sid ki misunderstanding rehne dete hai. I will tell him ke maine Avni se baat ki now she is fine.
Akshit: Haa... Sid relax ho jayega.
Zalak: To main chalti hoon. Update me about Avni. Hazel se baat kar lena about not letting them talk.
Akshit: Hmm... Can we exchange contact? I mean that's the only way to be in touch.
Zalak nodded and Akshit forwarded his phone. Zalak typed her contact no.
Zalak: Chalo bye...
Akshit: Bye
Zalak left. Akshit continued his work.
To be continued
Stay tuned for next chapter
