Next day

At office. It was lunchtime. Sid and Akshit gathered in Avni's cabin for lunch. Hazel saw Sid and ran towards him.

Akshit: Mil gaya isko Sid ab bhul gayi hume.

Avni: I agree.

Sid: Tum dono jealous hona band karo.

He came towards Avni, kissing her forehead making her blush.

Akshit: Oh damn! Innocent eyes.

Sid: Please haan! Teri eyes koi innocent nahi hai kamine.

Akshit (shrugging his shoulders): Hazel ki baat ki maine to.

Hazel giggles not understanding anything but feeling proud.

Sid: Acha chalo bukh lagi hai.

They sat and started to have lunch.

Avni: Akshit ek baat to bata. Sab theek hai tere and Zalak di ke beech?

Listening to her words, Akshit coughed. Sid quickly passed him a glass of water. Once, Akshit calmed down.

Akshit: Sab theek hai. Aese kyun puch rahi hai tu?

Avni: Arey nahi! Maine to aese hi pucha. Like hamesha tu and di team up kar hume tease karte ho itna. Kal dono proper smile tak nahi kar rahe the ek dusre ko dekh. To I thought...

Sid was silently listening to the conversation.

Akshit: Nahi aese kuch nahi hai. Tu zyada soch rahi I guess. Itna brain use mat kar kami hai already.

Sid: Nahi but topic serious hai. I mean di and teri kuch argument hui hai kya? She seems sad. Like usual meet ke baad she is all cheerful and happy. Yesterday, she didn't seem to.

Akshit: Guys!!!!! Chill aese kuch nahi hai. Tum log over soch rahe ho. There can be anything. Like kisi aur reason se shant ho. Humari koi argument nahi hui hai.

Sid: Hmm... Main shaam ko baat karta hoon di se.

Avni: But still Akshit... She was all fine when she was teasing us or enjoying with Hazel. Tu sach bata if kuch hai to. Maybe we can help you.

Akshit: Arey! Tu kya chahti hai? Apni koi story create karke batau? Baba kuch nahi hai.

She stared at him for a few seconds and then nodded.

They had lunch with normal chit-chat. After lunch.

Akshit: Meri meeting hai. I am leaving. Bye. Will catch you guys in the evening.

Hazel: Akshit uncle aapko kaam mila hai?

Avni (joining Hazel): Ye suraj aaj kaha se ugha hai? Akshit ko kaam mila hai.

Akshit: Oh please! Aur Avni vaise Hazel kuch aese vaise bole to tu sherni ke tarah khane ko dhaudti hai hume. Abhi dekh tu kya sikha rahi hai usko.

Before anyone could reply, Akshit ran from there for his life. Sid chuckled, looking at Avni's reaction but a glare was enough to shut him.

Sid (Side hugging Avni): Bas meri jaan. Main Hazel ko samajhata hoon. Tum bhi dhayan rakhna aage se. Tumhari meeting kab hai?

Avni: Thori der me hai.

Sid: Acha okay. Main aur Hazel meri cabin me jate hai.

Avni: Okay okay...

With this Sid and Hazel left for this cabin.

It was evening time.

Avni came into Sid's cabin to find it empty.

Avni: Ye dono kha chale gaye?

She dialled his number. Sid received her call in a ring.

Avni: Sid kaha ho tum?

Sid: Tumhari meeting ho gayi?

Avni: Haa. Tum batao kaha ho?

Sid: Vo Hazel ka man tha icecream khane ka. Hum ice cream khane aaye hai.

Avni (angrily): Siddharth stop spoiling her-

Sid (cuts her): Jaan mera pura haq hai apni beti ko bigarne ka, us par khoob sara pyaar nishawar karne ka. Main ye puri zindagi khushi khushi karuga. To ab kya tum mujhe mera ada karne par gussa karogi?

Listening to his words, Avni is like main to pighal gayi aur to aur blush bhi karne lagi.

(readers: Arey! Hum bhi)

Avni: Fine fine... Tum dono enjoy karo and jaldi aao. Bye!! I love you so much. Muuuaaaahhhhh!!!!!

Sid (chuckled): I love you too. Second ka return I guess mil kar zyada better hoga.

Avni (blushing): Bye bye bye bye...

She hung up the call and her eyes fell on a wallpaper of her, Sid and Hazel.

Avni (pecking Sid's pic): Pure pagal ho tum but the best and the cutest ho.

She came out of his cabin, looking at her phone when she bumped into Akshit.

Akshit (teasing smile): Sambal kar.

Avni: Huh!

Akshit: Hazel aur Sid kaha hai?

Avni: Ice cream khane gaye hai.

Akshit: Okay! Chal mere cabin me baithte hai. Coffee bhi pi lege.

Avni: Chal.

They took coffee and went into the Akshit's cabin.
