Ishaan walked in targeting their small square table before settling in a side seat.

"Why you chose here over that five star hotel?" Aju could not believe he was there.

"When did you become such a miser?" Teased Farhan.

"You need the food, right? So don't overthink." Ishaan exhaled.

Sooner, the waiter came and asked for order. When Ishaan was about to ask something, he was cut off by Amaaya.

She was ordering like they were going to die out of overeating.

Ishaan looked her and back to the waiter who was sweating and struggling to note what she was ordering. "That's all. You can leave now."

"Well, where is my phone Mr.Phone breaker?" Farhan asked turning to Ishaan with a police look.

"Uhh, yeah I mistook your phone at morning. And don't call me that weird name."

For that, Amaaya raised an eyebrow at him.

As if his choice of names were awesome..

At the time when Ishaan handed him his phone, "So you didn't take it for making me unaware of Viha's plan?" asked Farhan.

"Viha? Plan? What non-sense are you talking?"

"She called me after getting no replies." Aju grinned.

"So what?"

"Ishaan, we don't have any doubt at you." Eby assured him.

"If not today then other day." Farhan grinned at him.

Noticing three pairs of doubtful eyes and a pair of  clueless eyes on him,

"What you guys really want, Huh?Yeah, it is true that I took your phone after seeing her messages. Because I don't like to see you hanging out with her and pampering." He admitted.

"My doubt is that now you are into her." Aju narrowed his eyes.

"Shut up! I really don't like that red, I mean miya, uhh, whatever."

"Faru, what are you talking about?" asked Amaaya, being clueless about what was happening.

"Ohh my tubelight, I don't have enough energy to make you understand."

"Yeah, you are saving it for pampering her."

"What the...? So you guys really don't like our relationship." Farhan asked shifting his gaze from Amaaya to Ishaan.

"No" Ishaan and Amaaya replied in unison and made an awkward eyecontact after it.

"Well, I don't care!" he shrugged.

She rolled her eyes whereas Ishaan took a sip of water ignoring him.

"Ishaan, you will be also like this once you started dating Shreya." Aju patted his shoulder. At the time he completed it, Ishaan was up to spit out the water.

"Oh my! This much excitement over her?" teased Eby.

Amaaya turned to look Ishaan waiting for his reply. But, he didn't say anything.

She tried to read his eyes to know whether he was enjoying their teasing or ignoring.

Does he have feelings for her just like she does?

The smell of food items brought by the waiter blocked her thoughts.

She looked at each items with much excitement whereas Ishaan wore a pathetic face looking at it.

When she tried to take a puri from the plate, Farhan pulled her hands back. "Ainu, don't take it. It's hot." Then he extended his hand to take the same one she tried for.

"You better go with that red lips." She blurted.

"Ohh! Please don't remind of me of her lips."

Sooner, they got engrossed in eating.

Amaaya and Farhan were eating as if some competition was going over there.

"Ishaan, you didn't even finish one parantha?" asked Aju.

"I will eat and I don't need your help."

"Eby, you try this salad. It's really superb." said Amaaya.

"I already had it yaar."

"Then take one more parantha."

"Hey! When did you become this much concerned about him?" asked Farhan.

"You know what? He is my future Jiju."

"Hahaa, Jiju and him?"

"Nothing funny here."

"Then why can't you treat me like your future hubby?" He raised a brow.

She let out a loud laugh after hearing him. Farhan too joined her making other people to turn their side.

"I'm all done. I can't beat this girl." Aju said pointing at Amaaya.

"Yeah, I think she should skip her dinner today." said Eby.

"Ainu? Skipping dinner? Don't make me laugh." Farhan shook his head.

"Stop you idiots! Let me concentrate on my plate." She said.

"Then what about you Ishaan?" Aju turned to Ishaan.

"If you don't like why you asked to come here?" Asked Eby.

"Did I say so?"

With that three left there for washing, leaving Ishaan and Amaaya.

Anyhow, Ishaan made up his mind to finish the plate only to prove them he really like the food and place.

When he couldn't hear anything, he looked up to see her to check that she was there.

She was totally enjoying each bites not even bothered about his presence.

He wondered whether every girls were like that.

Many of the girls used to eat in a very decent manner when they are outside. Especially before a guy.

But she had a special way of eating.

Or he thought so...

He looked deep into her eyes bordered by thick lashes. He could see that same glittering that made him intoxicated whenever he met those pair.

Ishaan was unaware that his eyes were going crazy over her. He could not help but got lost in her.

Her beautiful intense eyes which drag him like a magnet, her soft nose, pinkish full shaped lips.. everything about her seems to be so perfect for him at that precise moment.

She is simply beautiful.

He never wanted to get embarassed being caught looking her.

But his heart was way too far that his mind couldn't chase it!

"Chutney is over! " Her voice brought him back to normal form.

She made a sad face looking him holding a piece of paratha in her hand.

"Sorry?" He was totally lost that he couldn't hear her.

"My chutney is over. I want more."

"Uhh, wait. I will order one more."

"No. I will get it here." She said eyeing on his plate before extending her hand.

NO PLEASE!!! Anything but not my plate.

Amaaya was too hurry even to notice his pleading eyes. At the next second, she dipped her piece in his chutney before having it.

Watching her enjoying the food to the fullest, some nerves in him got excited to eat the same way too. He tore a piece, dipping in other curry.

"Uhm, delicious!" She closed her eyes to enjoy the taste.

Ishaan looked up again to see her but this time ended up pasting curry over his nose.

"Hahaha, look at your face now." She laughed palming.

Covering his awkwardness, he tried to grab a tissue paper but to add more to his embarasement he made the glass to fell and water to flow over the table.

She laughing even so more as if he turned out to be a cartoon character before her.

Clearing his throat, "I was just smelling it." he said.

"But I didn't ask anything."

"There is nothing to laugh here."

"There was nothing to shout for my sweet talk with grandma too."

It made him to throw his gaze somewhere else pretending to ignore.

"You haven't finished it?" Farhan walked to them.

"You can move. I will come." Said Ishaan afterwhich they zoomed out.

Suddenly, his mind got upset by something.

What would be the serious matter that lady wanted to share with me?

▪▪▪▪

Amaaya looked outside enjoying the soft breeze coming through the window. She was unaware of what all things were happening inside the bus.

Out of a sudden, she felt someone beside her. "Faru!"

"What?"

"You are not allowed to sit here. Go back and stand there."

"No. I like this place."

"Faru, I will scream and scare the hell out of you."

"Blackmailing? No way!" He shook his head.

"Okay then, you sit here. I'm going."

"You only shouted me to come with you in bus instead of his mercedes."

"That does not mean you should sit beside me."

"Monkey, you can say that I'm you Jiju or what about dada Ji?"

"My dada Ji is not a flirt like you" She pointed with a smile.

"I forgot to say. Don't ever call my Viha by that name, Okay?

Turning to him, "Your Viha?Like really?" she asked.

"Yeah,ofcourse" He replied looking straight to her eyes.

"You can lie. But not your eyes."

"What do you mean?"

"If you really love her, It would be seen in your eyes."

"Whatever!" he shrugged.

"Well, uhh, I, uhh, nothing." She stammered.

"What you want to ask?"

"Uhm, did Ishaan accept her love?" She asked without looking him.

"Whose?"

"I'm talking about Shreya."

"Ohh! Yeah. Finally he started to have feelings for her."

"Oh no! Please don't lie."

"Why can't him? He really thinks that she is, uhh, perfect for him."

"But..." She started.

"But what?"

"He is not that type. And, I can't imagine they..."

"What the hell? You only told that they are made for each other and all. Now what?"

"Yeah. But he can't..."

"Why not Ainu?"

"I mean he is so rude and he won't have any feelings like that and..."

"Ohh! You know him better than me?" He asked with a challenging look.

"No. But maybe same as you." She replied in a slight confidence recalling her interactions with him.

"Ainu, you don't know anything about him." She gave a stare at him indicating to continue.

"You know what? He is a millionaire and he has everything he wanted. A huge home. No we can call it as a mansion. A great job.Everything. But, nothing is more important for him than our happiness." He said without looking her whereas she kept hearing him keeping silent.

"He is living there with us leaving his luxurious life at home. He was always there whenever we had any financial problems. He will do everything without even asking. Whatever people think about him! He is always like that. And we don't want him to change. He is really Great! "

His words made her mum. She didn't really know what to tell.

"And you know something?" He further asked.

"What?"

"He is an orphan"
