Safar...A Journey of First Love

Chapter 6 - Family Night

"Please Armaan...just Anjali..." she told him.

Armaan smiled at her sweetness; "Okay..."

"Well...at the moment I work at Birthdayz...it's a greeting card shop, we sell cards, balloons, decorations, that stuff...but I do the floral arrangements...I just love flowers and plants..." she explained.

Armaan smiled; "Wow...sounds very interesting..."

Armaan looked at Atul and smiled as he noticed that Atul had become lost in Anjali's words. He then looked at Anjali who was also staring at Atul and decided to let them have their moment; he stood up and went to the counter to collect their order.

When he came back they were still sharing their eye lock, smiling as he thought they looked adorable and he had never seen his brother so attracted to any other girl.

Armaan cleared his throat and placed the tray onto the table "Sorry to disturb you..."

Atul and Anjali jumped out of their dream and looked around in embarrassment; Anjali looked down into her lap as Armaan sat down and smiled at them.

Armaan picked up his mug and sipped his coffee; "It's okay...hota hai..." (It happens)

Anjali became comfortable again; "Bohot pata hai tumhe..." (You seem to know a lot) she also picked up her cup of hot chocolate and smiled at him.

Atul nodded; "Definitely...agar yeh nahi janta toh aur kaun janta?" (If he doesn't know then who else will)

Anjali looked at Atul; "Matlab?" (Meaning?) she sipped her hot chocolate.

"He was the biggest flirt back home..." Atul emphasized on biggest then continued; "...sab ladkiya usse chati thi (every girl wanted him) ...he was never seen without a girlfriend..."

Anjali smiled at Armaan; "Oh...like that...tum toh bade chupe rustam nikla yaar..." (You're a sly one)

"Kya bhai (What bro)...why are you spoiling my image...you're making it sound like I was really bad..." Armaan turned from his brother to Anjali; "...I wasn't that bad...just one or two girls..."

"At once?" Anjali teased and Atul laughed while Armaan sat there looking lost not knowing how to get out of this one; "...Okay...toh tum bato...(So you tell me) ...what's the real story?"

"Well what can I do...if I'm so hot...that's not my fault...is it?" he smirked; "...Yeah I like girls...who doesn't...all the girls wanted to be my girlfriend toh main kya karta (what can I do)...I had to give everyone a fair chance..."

"You're so funny..." she laughed.

Atul turned to her; "Aur main?" (And me?) Anjali became shy and looked down at her cup.

"Not at all funny...you're so boring...haina (isn't it) Anjali?" he asked her with a smile.

Atul now waited for her answer; "Kya main boring hoon?" (Am I boring?)

But again Armaan spoke up; "Of course you are...you just love your plants..."

Anjali asked him; "What's wrong with plants?"

Atul also turned to him; "Haan (Yes)...what's wrong with plants?"

"I didn't say anything was wrong with them...I just..." he trailed off his sentence as he noticed that he won't be able to win this one as they were both are against him.

"You were going to say something..." Atul said.

"Bolo na (go on) Armaan..." Anjali urged.

Armaan gave up; "Kya yaar Anjali...shaadi se pehle bhaiya ke ho gayi...?" (What is this Anjali...even before marriage you're on his side)
