It was a sunday evening , Aman and Taani were waiting for Mishti in the mall. It has been a couple of days since the office incident and both of them had not spoken to Ritwik since then.

"sir you don't have to feel weird....you are meeting your best friend and sister for their wedding shopping...." she looked at him as they walked towards the mall.

"they don't even know that I am coming...." he said rubbing his palm in nervousness.

"so what?you are very weird...." she said rolling her eyes.

"excuse me?" he looked at her immediately , raising his brows. "remember I am still your boss...."

"sorry sir...." she said immediately and walked a little bit ahead of him increasing her pace.

He gave an amused smile knowing that she was taken aback. They could be friends , he thought. She was nice.

She went to where Taani and Aman were standing and gave them a tight hug and then looked behind where Ritwik was standing with a baby face.

Taani immediately held Mishti's hand and pulled her in another direction.

"oyee chotu...." Ritwik ran behind them and wrapped his arms around Taani's shoulder and cuddled her as she struggled to get out of his grip. "sorry nuh...."

Mishti chuckled and looked at Aman and gestured him to let it go.

"Aman...." he looked at him with a sad face.

"let's go now...." Aman punched his stomach playfully and they laughed happily. Mishti stood a little away from them giving them their family space.

"oyee....come...."Ritwik looked at Mishti as they started to walk towards the store. Mishti frowned. What was this guy. One moment he is her boss another moment he is calling 'oye'.

She made a face and went behind them to the lehenga store.

"Taani....why are we buying clothes from here when your company can make custom designs for you?" Mishti asked her.

"please Mishti don't talk like bhai....it is my wedding....I want to experience this entire shopping madness....i just can't have the designs ready...." she whined like a kid and went to try out some pieces.

"makes sense...." she muttered and sat on the couch. Ritwik came and sat beside her leaving some distance between them.

"why are you sitting here?won't you get a lehenga?" he asked looking at her.

"why will i get a lehenga?" she frowned.

"arrey for Aman and Taani's wedding...." he shrugged.

"no I am good with normal clothes...."

"yeah the formal clothes that you wore on engagement?" he raised his brows. He remembers.

"no...." she rolled her eyes. "i have nice suits and saree...."

"but it is your brother's wedding you should get new clothes...."

"leave that....are you getting new clothes?" she asked.

"I will ask our designers to do it for me....i am not crazy like Taani...."

"and one of your designers is sitting right in front of you...." she said as a matter of fact.

"cool....then you prepare some designs for me....i will approve...." he shrugged.

In the meanwhile a beautiful and attractive girl came and sat beside him , really close to him , with their legs touching.

"Ritwik Noon....Hi...." she said softly.

Ritwik frowned and immediately moved away a bit.

"Hi...." he said politely and Mishti chuckled silently.

"doesn't look nice Ritwik....a handsome guy like you sitting alone...." she kept her hand on his knee.

"no I'm good...." he said nervously and looked at Mishti immediately gesturing her to help him.

She bit her lips and shook her head looking at him. She had a hard time controlling her laughter.

He frowned and legit begged her to help him.

"actually he's with me...." she said from behind her.

The girl looked back at her. "oh...." and with that she walked away and Mishti burst out laughing.

"you are such a brat...." he said rolling his eyes as she sat down beside him and leaned back in the couch and laughed.

"but you cannot deny that she was beautiful....and attractive...." she said looking at her direction. Ritwik followed her gaze and nodded.

"true that...." he said with a naughty smile.

"then?you should have hit on her sir....wait she was already hitting on you....you could have taken a chance right?"

"really?you think so?" he said frowning.

"for sure....just look at her...." she said with a smirk.

"you are like a bro dude...." he raised his hand for a high five and she clapped her palm with his and they laughed.

Aman and Taani frowned looking at them from a distance. They were laughing , sharing high fives and checking out a beautiful girl.

"aren't they behaving weird?" Taani asked Aman.

"suddenly they are behaving like best friends...." he said in confusion. "what the hell....some days back he was ready to throw her out of the office it seemed...."

"yeah....she brought him here today and now this...." she scratched her head. "very strange they are...."

"both are strange....that is why they are vibing...." he rolled his eyes.

"oyee....i have to go to nainital for the presentation for an upcoming project....it's a huge deal....so i am going by myself to handle it....you are quite good at presentation....i have seen your work....is it okay if you help me?" he folded one leg up on the couch and turned to face her.

"yeah i will make it and send it to you....or do you want me to go there in person for it?"

"if you are okay...." he said immediately.

"you are my boss....remember?i have to do what you ask...." she shrugged.

"you are my bro...." he shrugged and sat looking at the ceiling. "how much more time will they take man?I am hungry....mai nahi khel raha...." he whined and she chuckled.

Taani's lehenga and Aman's sherwani was bought and they walked out of the store.

"let's have dinner...." Aman said rubbing his stomach.

"I swear man I am really hungry...." Ritwik said walking towards a restaurant.

"umm....I will take a leave...." mishti said from behind them. "i have some work to finish...." She didn't want to barge into their family time.

"work can wait food can't...." Ritwik said looking back at her. "come....I will drop you home after dinner don't worry...."

And with that they walked into the restaurant for their dinner.
