This chapter is dedicated to my bestie and soul sister, Riya. Thanks for the wishes and gifts.
Riya: Waise sachme itna hi hua tha? ( Btw really only this much happened?)
Sid: Ha, kyu? Aur bhi kahi jana tha kya? ( Yes, why? We had to go somewhere else also?)
Sidneet looked at each other in confusion.
Riya: Avu aur Abhi ka toh pata tha, Sid tu kaise nahi samjha? ( I understand about Abhi and Avu, Sid how didn't you understand?)
Abhi: Mera pata hai ka kya matlab? Mai bhi samajh gaya tu kya bol rahi hai. ( What do you mean by you understand about me? Even I understood what you mean.)
Vaish: Ha, Sidneet, itne unromantic toh ho nahi tum log. Skip karke bola hai na? ( Yes, Sidneet, you both aren't so unromantic. You skipped and said right?)
Sidneet turned red realising what she meant. The three smirked teasingly seeing the two blush.
Riya: Matlab kuch toh hua. ( Means something did happen.)
Avu: Kuch nahi hua waisa. Jitna humne bola utna hi hua. Waise Riya, tere boyfriend ka kya haal hai? ( Nothing like that happened. Only what we said happened. Btw Riya, what about your boyfriend?)
Riya: Ek second, mera boyfriend hai aur mujhe hi nahi pata. ( One second, I have a boyfriend and I only don't know.)
Avu: Mai wahi puch rahi thi ki koyi boyfriend hai kya. ( I was asking that only, if you have any boyfriend.)
Riya: Boyfriend dur ki baat hai, mera toh koyi crush bhi nahi hai. Apne college mein dhanke ladke hi nahi dikhte hai. ( Leave boyfriend, I don't have any crush also. There are no my type boys in my college.)
Vaish: Humara bhi same haal tha. Yeh dono bhi toh alag college mein hai. ( It was same for us also. These two are also in different college.)
Riya: Tumhare college mein koyi achi ladkiya hai? ( Are there any girls of your type in your college?)
Sid: Ha hai na. ( Yes, there are.)
Avu: Tumhari girlfriend reh chuki hai pehle bhi? ( You had any girlfriends earlier?)
Abhi: Ha ek thi na. ( Yes there was one.)
Sid: Abhi ki bhi ek thi. ( Even Abhi had one.)
Vaishneet: Kaun thi woh? ( Who was she?)
Riya burst out laughing.
Vaishneet: Riyu, tera dimaag kharaab ho gaya kya in dono ke saath reh rehkar? ( Riyu, have you gone mad being with these two?)
Riya: Nahi. Aur mere dono jiju ka bhi nahi hai. ( No. And my brother-in-laws are also not mad.)
Vaish: Haww, tune toh teams hi badal li. ( Haww, you changed teams only.)
Sid: Ha, yeh humari pyaari saali hai na. ( Yeah, she is our lovely sister-in-law right.)
He said while pulling her in a side hug. Riya showed her tongue to Vaishneet who returned it while Sidshek chuckled at their childish behavior.
Avu: Par tu has kyu rahi thi? ( But why were you laughing?)
Abhi: Girlfriends se humara matlab tum dono hi thi, tumne yeh thodi pucha ki college se koyi thi kya. ( By girlfriends we meant you both only, you didn't ask about girls from our college only.)
Sid: Aur ab girlfriends se fiance toh ban hi chuki ho. ( And you have become fiance from gfs.)
Riya: Acha Jai aur Reem kab aayege? Unse ek bhi baar nahi mili hu mai. Jai ko engagement ke din dekha par baat hi nahi ho paayi. ( When are Jai and Reem coming? I haven't met them even once. I saw Jai on the day of engagement but couldn't talk with him.)
Abhi: Aate hi hoge thodi der mein. ( They'll be here soon.)
Vaish: Mujhe bahut bhook lagi hai. ( I'm feeling very hungry.)
Avu: Hum kuch laate hai, chal Riya. ( We'll get something, come Riya.)
Riya: Tu aur Sid jao na, mujhe washroom jana hai. ( You and Sid go, I have to go to washroom.)
Sidneet went while Vaish told Riya the way and she also went. She came back to see Abhinavi are also not there. The bell rang. She saw through the peephole and identified Jai and opened the door. They were confused seeing her.
Riya: Mai Riya hu. Andar aao na dono. ( I am Riya. Come in.)
They came in, Reem looking around remembering it being exactly the same as it had been the previous uncountable times she came. The four came there and smiled seeing Jaireem are also here. They all settled there.
Reem: M...Aunty nahi hai ghar par? ( M...Aunty isn't at home?)
Abhi: Nahi, kisi rishtedar ke ghar gayi hai. Tu itne wakt se aayi nahi hai, maa tujhe itna yaad karti hai. ( No, she has gone to a relative's home. You haven't come since so long, mom misses you so much.)
Vaish: Pehle kabhi bataya nahi pehle bhi aayi hui hai. Hume toh yeh bhi nahi pata tha tu pehle se inki dost hai, hume laga Jai ke through mili hai. ( You never said you have come before. We didn't even know you are their friend, we thought you met them through Jai only.)
Avu: Mujhe Sid ne ek baar bataya tha bachpan mein dost the. ( Once Sid had said me they were friends in childhood.)
Reem: Ha, woh sab chodo na. Pehle Riya se milne do, pehli baar dekha hai. ( Yes, leave all that. First let me meet Riya first, I'm seeing her the first time.)
Riya: Ha Reem, Jai ko toh phir bhi engagement mein dekha tha, tu waha nahi thi. ( Yes Reem, I had seen Jai in engagement but you weren't there.)
Jaireem talked with Riya soon bonding well with her.
Riya: Sidneet, snacks kaha hai? ( Sidneet, where are the snacks?)
Sid: Wo toh kitchen mein hi reh gaye counter par. ( We forgot them on kitchen counter only.)
Reem: Mai lati hu. ( I'll get them.)
She went from there. Even Sid got a call so went aside.
Riya: Acha Abhi, tum teeno ka koyi bachpan ka incident batao na. ( Abhi, tell some incident of you three from childhood no.)
Abhi: Umm.. ha ek yaad aya. Ek baar humne ek couple ko dekha jo ek dusre ko babe bol rahe the. Hume acha laga toh mai aur Sid Reem ko aur Reem hum ko babe bulane lag gayi thi. ( Umm.. yes, I remembered one. Once we saw a couple calling each other babe. We liked it so I and Sid started calling Reem babe and she started calling us babe.)
Vaish: Ab nahi bulate? ( Now you don't?)
Abhi: Maltab jaan ne ke baad bhi bulate toh the par phir dosti toot gayi. ( Even after knowing the meaning also we did but then our friendship broke.)
Avu: Kyu? ( Why?)
Abhi: Wo toh sirf Sid aur Reem jante hai. Unke beech kuch toh hua jisse Reem Sid se nafrat karne lagi aur Sid ne bhi bola ki hum Reem se kabhi baat nahi karenge. ( Only Sid and Reem know that. Something happened between them due to which Reem started hating Sid and Sid also said we'll never talk to Reem again.)
Avu: Hmm.
Reem came back with the snacks and they all changed the topic. Soon Sid also came back.
Jai: Riya kaha gayi? ( Where did Riya go?)
They all looked around and noticed her standing behind Jai, doing something in her phone. She looked up hearing her name.
Riya: Mai tere peeche khadi hu. ( I'm standing behind you.)
He turned his head in her direction.
Jai: Waha kya kar rahi hai? ( Why are you standing there?)
Riya: Sabki photos click kar rahi thi. Acha mai aati hu, mere bhai ka call aa raha hai. ( I was clicking everyone's photos. I'll be back, my brother is calling.)
She went aside to pick it up.
Jai: Photos kyu? ( Why photos?)
Avu: Ise sabke saath first meets aur moments capture karna pasand hai aur unke edits banati hai, jo hum sabko bahut pasand aate hai. ( She loves capturing first meets and moments with everyone and makes edits from them, which we all love.)
Jai: Ohh.
When Riya returned she saw all had already started eating.
Riya: Haww, mere bina hi shuru ho gaye? ( Haww, you all started without me only?)
Reem: Toh tu bhi ab join karle. Aur Vaishu ko bahut tez bhook lag rahi thi isliye humne shuru kar diya. Snacks hi toh hai. ( Then you also join no. And Vaishu was feeling very hungry so we started. It's snacks only.)
She sat beside Reem. Suddenly she felt something moving on her back. She tried removing but nothing was there. As soon as she moved her hand she again felt it.
Avu: Arre Riya, kya hua? Itni chup chap kyu baithi hai? ( Riya, what happened? Why are you sitting so quietly?)
Riya: Kuch bhi nahi. ( Nothing.)
She again tried removing but nothing was there. She noticed everyone's behavior and could see they were glancing at her from the corner of their eyes after every few seconds.
Riya: Ab band karo yeh prank, bahut gudgudi ho rahi hai. ( Now stop this prank all of you, its tickling me very much.)
Sid: Humne kuch nahi kiya. ( We didn't do anything only.)
She looked at all of them.
Riya: Jai, tu kar raha tha na? ( Jai, you were doing it right?)
Avu: Maine kaha tha na iski observation skills bahut achi hai. ( I said right her observation skills are really good.)
Jai: Ha, mai hi tha. Tu bas chehra dekh kar kaise samajh gayi sab? ( Yes, it was me only. How did you understand by just seeing my face?)
Riya: Meri apni skills hai. ( It's my own skills.)
She winked at him.
Riya: Ree bhabhi, jalo mat. Tum sab itne possessive ho. Phir chahe partner ho ya sibling ya dost bhi. ( Ree bhabhi(sister-in-law) don't get jealous. You all are so possessive. Be it for your partner or your sibling or even friend.)
