Riza POV
We hop off at the very top of the Burj Khalifa. Exactly how I imagined. On the very top of the world. Far from all my problems that lay far far below.
I stare into the distant horizon. Miles and miles of metropolitan area with parks and small ponds as far as eye can see.—
Rohit: Living a dream huh?
Riza: yup. (a teardrop of pure joy flowing down her eye)
Rohit: (wiping the teardrop away) abbe yaar! You girls are WAY too weird. Cries for even happy things!
Riza: (stepping on his foot hard) it's called tears of joy stupid!
Rohit: (Rolling his eyes)
I take my phone out and lift it high up so that Siddharth, I and the amazing view gets into the frame.
Riza: Say Cheese
Rohit: Chips! (Riza snaps the selfie of both of them smiling their teeth's out, above the warm Dubai skies.
~~~
(On the Bus)
Riza: Hey, By the Way, Who's the lucky girl?
Rohit: well. She doesn't really know that shes lucky just yet.
Riza: Her name. (Sipping on some water)
Rohit: Avneet Kaur.
Riza: (Choking on the water) Bro are you feeling allright?! The Avneet Kaur! World renowned supermodel vala?
Rohit: yeah. Why?
Riza: (bursts out laughing) Youre like those little teenage girls who dream of getting married to Justin Bieber one day and crap like that!
Rohit: (blank)
Riza: You're never even gonna meet her, much less date her!
Rohit: (dreamily) We've met.
Riza: (In a sing-song Voice)Once upon a dream!
(Their stop had come as Riza and Rohit stand at the door)
Riza: Well I wish you luck. Trust me you'll need it!
Rohit: (glaring at her)
Riza: a lot of it! (Continues laughing)
We hop off the bus at the same stop where the café was situated as Sid and I slowly make our way down the street towards my sister's house.
Rohit: Do you have a house here at Dubai?
Riza: Yeah, I'm gonna live with my sister. Its right around the corner. Ill get there myself. It's getting pretty dark, you should get home too.
Rohit: (nodding) yeah.
Riza: Its nice knowing you by the way.
(Rohit pulls her into a friendly hug as Riza hugs back)
Rohit: Hey, take care of yourself alright.
Riza: I will.
(They wave at each other as Riza walks away and soon disappears around the corner and Rohit walks across the street and into Bon Bros Records headquarters.)
—I walk into a very particular light green house which doesn't really seem to be the most jolly in the neighborhood, but not the most dull either.—
I walk up to it, the sign reading, 'Ananya Pandey' in gold cursive letters.
I hesitate for a second and then ring the doorbell. I haven't seen her in YEARS. I wonder how much she might've changed.
I expect to see a jolly girl my age open the door, but instead I'm greeted by a cold blooded women, who I shamefully call by mother.
Aadaya: Aah just in time for dinner are we!
Riza: Perhaps I should have come later. (rolling her eyes at Aadaya as she walks straight past and into the dining room, only to not be greeted by a young girl, her age but looks younger.)
Riza: sister?
Ananya: (nodding as if trying to remember how she used to look) you've grown.
Riza: (letting out a small smile) Surprisingly, so have you.
(tears flow from both their eyes as Riza runs over to her and wraps her arms around the girl as Ananya hugs back fondly)
Ananya: Where've you been all these years! You didn't even try to contact me! I even thought you had forgotten.
Riza: How could I ever forget you!
—We sit down at the dining table as I put a spoon of mash potatoes into my mouth and then some chicken stew.—
Riza: I heard you've been having boy problems lately.
Ananya: (nodding a little embarrassed) I've been with him for the last two years. But he left me a few days ago.
Riza: Did you confront him about it?!
Ananya: (nodding) yeah. But he wasn't even bothered! I still don't understand why he'd just leave me like that!
Aadaya: He was never the one for you anyway. I'd told you from the very beginning that he would break your heart!
Ananya: MOM Rohit is not like 'any other guy' he doesn't just swap girls every month! He loved me and so did I.
Aadaya: He used you and now he's gonna destroy you until you're nothing!
Ananya: What in the world are you saying Mother!
Aadaya: The TRUTH! Look into social media. (holding her phone out for Ananya to look at the tweets and news flashes) There's already posts which say 'Rohit Sehen breaks up with Ananya Pandey! Is she a gold Digger?'
Oh and what about this, 'Is Lead actress Ananya Pandey a CHEATER?'!
Aadaya: Explain these Ananya! Do they look like his signs of LOVE to you! He never loved you Ananya. But he will surely destroy you.
Your reputation, fame, happiness will all be gone (snapping her fingers) like this!
Ananya: It'll blow over. People will get to the truth.
Aadaya: (Letting out a sarcastic laugh) You've already lost 50 followers overnight. Soon It'll be 50 thousand.
Ananya: stop.
Aadaya: He'll destroy you Ananya. And then you'll be left with nothing.
(A tear flows down Ananya's eyes as Aadaya keeps nagging at her and immediately Riza bangs her hand on the table out of pure frustration)
Riza: SHUT IT!
Riza: not another word about this! Have your dinner.
(A few hopeful moments pass as Ananya calms down after having a long swoosh of water.)
Aadaya: So... Riza, how was your date?
Ananya: (cheering up a bit) you went on a date?! Who's the lucky guy?
Riza: Were just friends. And I don't really intend to get any furtur.
Ananya: (In pure mockery) does he not have a name?
Riza: (Letting out a smile) Siddharth.
Ananya: If this is getting anywhere, you're gonna need my approval!
Riza: It's not.
Ananya: Only time will tell!
~~~
Rohit POV
—Today was quite a long day.
I gotta admit, she's pretty fun to hang out with. I never expected Aadaya's daughter to turn out so... nice.
Not that I expected Aadaya to even have kids!
I pick up my phone and open my latest texts.
(To Faisu)
Sid: Happy Birthday Bro!
Sid: Tera lakh lakh baddua ho!
Sid: oh shit. Vo autocorrect tha.
Sid: I meant badhai.
Sid: I already sent your gift. Enjoy!
Sid: I'm sure that must be a little hard without me but still try your best to. I'll call you in the afternoon. ILYSSSM!
(Then scrolling down to his replys)
Faisu: Thank you so much Bhai! Har baar ke jaise omelets ke liye bhi Thanks.
Faisu: We keep missing you a hell lot but all thanks to your omelets we barely even feel your absence.
Faisu: Totally looking forward to your call.
Faisu: Cant wait to eat those disgusting omelets.
Faisu: Oh shit. That was autocorrect. I meant delicious.
These guys must be dying to get my call! I'll call them right away. But first Ill go fetch Jannat too.—
(Meeting up with Jaan in his office)
Jaan: I already ordered him a huge chocolate cake for his b'day.
Rohit: And I sent him my world renowned omletes. Like I do every year!
Jaan: (Mumbling under her breath) oh so that's why they always get diarrhea after their birthdays!
Rohit: what was that?
Jaan: ohh nothing!
(Faisu picks up the call, both of them wearing party hats in a room full of confetti)
Faisu: HEY SID! How're you bro?
Rohit: We're doing fine. Here's Jannat too.
Faisu: What! (Abhi and Faisu shoving loads of alcohol bottles out of the frame)
Jaan: (Snickering as if she saw nothing) Happy Birthday babyyy!
Faisu: same to you! I-I mean, thank you.
Jaan: (laughing sarcastically) alright boys listen up! If you dare drink too much then I'll beat the living crap out of you!
Faisu: (gulping and then nodding with fear)
Jaan to Sid: boys will be boys.
Sid: (smiling as he turns back to Faisu) hey by the way, weren't you guys about to go on a mission or something?
Abhi: but were delaying it.
Sid: why?
Abhi: We overslept. Anyway, Ill call you later. Take care of yourself. Bye.
Sid: yea. Bye!
Overslept?! But weren't they supposed to go in the afternoon?
~~~
—I take my shirt off, the sweat all over my back as I get back up on the bars, continuing my pull-ups.
I close my eyes and steady my breaths and concentrate on my posture hence don't notice a little girl and her cat walk in.—
Avu: so...How was your date?
—The words hit me like a bullet, my grip immediately faltering as it slips and I fall onto the ground, immediately getting up.—
Rohit: oh, uh... you know?
Avu: (putting on a small smile) That is... unless you go around hugging random strangers on the street.
Rohit: oh that. No. We're just friends.
Avu: The average man's bad excuse huh. (letting out a not so genuine laugh)
Rohit: (Picking Sana up who's nagging at his foot) no seriously, we just met. (Avu taking Sana from his hands)
Avu: anyway... I just came to tell you that dinners ready.
Rohit: (nodding)
Avu: And... thank you for lightening my mood yesterday.
Rohit: It was nothing. Just glad to help.
(Turning around to walk out the door)
Avu: (A very tiny glimpse of sadness in her voice, barely noticeable) What's her name, may I ask?
Rohit: (nodding) Riza.

Avu POV
—We sit around the large rectandular table in the dining hall as I sip a spoonful of cornsoup and catch myself staring at Rohit, sitting across the table, chatting away with Ashi.
He's not really bad looking, in fact, for someone my age, he's rather good looking.
Then I realize that I've been staring at him and immediately look away, only to look towards a smirking girl who I know wont spare me!
I involuntarily flush and then feel my cheeks heat up as she nudges me teasingly on the shoulder and I just try to ignore it as I take another sip from the spoon.—
Jaan: so... youre staring at Ashi these days huh?
Avu: (subconsciously) no Rohit. (oh shit) NO, I mean not Rohit, I was not staring at anyone. What the hell are you taking about?!
Jaan: So youre just staring at the thin air between Rohit and you?
Avu: no fricking, I just zoned out.
Jaan: in Rohit's direction?
Avu: oh gosh! Must've been a coincidence!
Jaan: sureeeee girl.
Jaan: By the way, where were you last night?
Avu: at the park.
Jaan: Drenching in the rain?!
Avu: yeah. My mood was off.
Jaan: so you ran off alone in a country you don't know?!
Avu: No. With Rohit.
Jaan: (Choaking on her soup) So you ran off with a random stranger!
Avu: technically its not like we don't know him.
Jaan: know him enough go drench in the rain with him?
Avu: (choking on her soup) Gosh! You make it sound worse than it actually is!
And besidss Ive spent afternoons in the rain with Siddharth too!
Jaan: thats different! It was mumbai. And you Liked Sid. Do you like Rohit too??
Avu: yes. (Shit! Wtf) No! I mean DEFINITELY NO.
Avu: now don't bother me!
—I pick up my now empty soup saucer as I head to the sink to return it and then walk out of the room, right before I'm out the door I look back one last time, to catch a glimpse of Rohit through the corner of my eye before I walk straight into the elevator and down to my room.
"Jaan: Do you like Rohit too?"
Do I?—
