Sid went out for a walk in fresh air. He got a text message that money has been transferred to his account. His father also sent him consent slip on whatsapp. He rushed to his room and took the ATM card. He didn't want to go out but printing machine at the college was closed in evening. He unwillingly decided to go out. He took warden's permission and went to put entry. He met Avu there. She was abit surprised to see him there alone. As he never liked going out. It must be something important if he was going outside. She smiled at him and waved her hand.

Avu: Hii Sid. Going somewhere?

Sid: Yes

Avu: Where? If you don't mind telling

Sid: Umn I need to get print out of consent slip and also money from ATM

Avu: Oh. I was also going out. Let's go together

Sid: No it's ok. I will manage. I will go by auto

Avu: Oh come on. I will also get a company. Come

She said moving forward but Sid didn't move. She sighed.

Avu: Arre come na. Itna nakhra kis baat par yrr

She held his hand and dragged him to the parking area. She opened her activa and took out the helmet and wore it. She gave one helmet to Sid and drove towards the exit. Sid was quitely standing there looking at her still holding the helmet in his hands tightly. She gestured him with hand to come quickly.

Avu: Siddharth jaldi. It will be night soon. Come quickly

Sid: Hnn hnn

He ran towards her. He was about to sit. She smashed her hand on her forhead.

Avu: Arre helmet to pehnlo budhu pakadne ke lie thoda dia hai tume

Sid: Oh hnn hnn

He tried wearing the helmet but was not able.

Avu: Chhodo. Dikhaoo mujhe

Sid: Nhi I will do. It's okk

Avu: Okk. Be quick

Sid was still trying to do it.

Avu: Tumse na ho payega. Raat ho jayegi aese hi. Dikhaoo mujhe

Sid: Okk

Avu put helmet properly. He felt awkward as he never got so close to anyone before. Leave a girl, he never even went close to a boy. He felt butterflies in his stomach.

Avu: Done. Betho. Jaldi karo

Sid nodded and quickly sat beside her. Avu started driving. Sid was about to keep his hand on her shoulder but fisted it and dropped down. Avu saw his awkward expressions through side mirror and understood his condition. She chuckled seeing his face.

Sid: Kya hua?

Avu: Pehli baar bethe ho kya kisi ladki ke peeche?

Sid was already feeling something weird. He got irritated by her comment.

Sid: Tum kya roz ladko ko bithati ho?

Avu: Okk I am sorry. I didn't mean to offend you or something. But hnn roz to nhi but I am habitual. I have many guy friends. Rohan, Sumedh, Jai, Abhi bhai. To wo log kayi baar beth chuke hai. To mujhe koi awkwardness feel nhi hoti

Sid: Sorry. Yes I never sat with a girl

Avu: It's okk. Mujhe do minute chemist shop par jaana hai. Fir ATM chalte hai

Sid: Kyu kya hua? Tabiyat kharab ho gyi kya?

Avu: Nhi yrr. Trip par jaana ho na to thode medicines rakhne chahie. And I got my periods so needed sanitary pads

She went ahead but he felt really awkward. He wasn't disgusted or something but he never had such a conversation with anyone. In fact he never had any girls close to him. So it was all new for him. He didn't know how to react.
