" Wow . I love this car . Your car was in air port . How did you get it here ? " Arjun asked 

" My driver got it here . I would have loved , if it was graphite grey color . Mom thought this color is good for me " Neha said but thought she said too much and said " Do you want to drive " changing the topic

" I have International driving license but I'm not sure as I'm tired and also don't know the directions  " he said

Neha stopped in front of a restaurant and said "  Welcome to Adyar Ananda Bhavan , one of the best south Indian restaurant here " 

"Thank you . Order whatever you think is best  " Arjun said

Neha ordered 2 Chennai express thali for them and 2 mango lassi ( mango milk shake ) .

" Thank you so much . I feel at home " Arjun said while eating . Neha smiled .

Neha remembered how she poured mango juice on Arjun last time when they met in India and laughed choking mango lassi and spilled little on Arjun .

" I'm so sorry Arjun " Neha apologized for spilling . 

" That's ok . Are you fine " Arjun asked while wiping juice from his shirt . Sweety smiled shyly nodding yes . Arjun too remembered the incident and laughed .They both are so much in love with each other that they don't need to hear words to know what the other person is thinking . It is ironic that things in between them are this way . 

It was 6:30 by the time they finished their food and reached apartment . 

" Take rest , I will take you to office tomorrow . If Karthik was here , you could have taken rest . I'm sorry that you have to go to office . Karthik wanted to give you rest on Friday and show you around the city this weekend and discuss the issue " Neha said apologetically

" That's fine . I took rest in flight and have all night . Bye Neha , See you tomorrow " he said 

" Are you kicking me out " Neha said 

" No  , no you can stay if you want . I thought it is getting late for you " Arjun said hurriedly thinking she misunderstood him

" I'm just kidding , see ...." Neha stopped as she heard her phone ringing 

Neha : hi mom

..............

Neha : will be there in half an hour .

...............

Neha  :  you said it is next weekend

..............

Neha : but why me 

.............

Neha : ok  bye mom

" I have to leave , bye Arjun " Neha said 

" Why ? is something wrong . What did your mom tell " Arjun asked

" It's nothing , don't worry " Neha said 

" Its ok you can tell me . You look scared " Arjun asked with concern

" Mom's friend invited us to dinner tonight . They are organizing party next weekend . I thought I don't have to see them till then . It seems they want to discuss about the party with mom and she expects me to go with her " Neha said sadly

" Is something wrong with that family ? " Arjun asked remembering Neha's reluctance to meet them from her voice .

" I have to go now Arjun , its getting late " Neha said

" Don't worry about anything . You can call me anytime " Arjun said giving his number 

They both said good night and Neha went home .'  Anna aunt never changes , always ordering around without understanding other's feelings . Her reluctance to meet them is clearly evident in her voice . Why cant her mom understand . I feel sorry for Sweety to have such a witch as  mom ' Arjun thought

Arjun went to bed but couldn't sleep well thinking about Neha . He took out his phone several times to call Neha to know if she is ok but some how couldn't call .
