Abhay fake coughed to get Vaish's attention but it did not work.

Why?

Because she was too busy adoring that cunning little son of his adopted sister!

That little charmer! How dare he take his Fireball's attention; that too when he was standing right beside her!

"Rehmat Aunty! It's my birthday today but look people here aren't even paying attention to me. The birthday boy is feeling too sad." He said in a fake sad tone and Rabiya smirked to see Abhay Singh starting his usual whining.

Vaish who was purposefully ignoring him till now heard that and rolled her eyes as she was familiar with all this dramatics, because she did the same with her family.

Handing the cute little fellow to his father, she turned to Rehmat.

Indirect attention seeking is what you are playing at, Abhay Singh; than this is what you will get. I'm the champion of this game.

"Rehmat Aunty, some people just refuse to grow up! Want attention on themselves all the time just like a six year old kid! Our Arhan is more mature than them. At least he doesn't complain like them." She replied and everyone laughed at her indirect burn towards Abhay except of course Abhay and Rabiya.

Rabiya's smirk vanished the moment Vaish opened her smart mouth and Rehan had this I-told-you-so smile on his face.

Abhay wasn't going to give up soon.

"What can I say, Rehmat Aunty? Now a day's six year old are smarter than adults, can charm all the girls with their charisma. I might as well act like them to catch the attention of people who seems to ignore me."

"That is what the problem with adults is Aunty! They try to capture attention of beautiful ladies; while a six year old don't try that. They just get our attention with their innocence."

"Innocence, they say aunty but they all want charmers. If not then I would have gotten the attention by now as you all know that I'm the model of innocence." He replied now directly looking at her and everyone around them were silently enjoying the show.

"Model of innocence? In which mirror are you looking at yourself mister? Or who are those people giving you false ideas? It's giving you a total misconception about yourself!"

"In the same mirror and around the same people who tell you that you are smart as hell, awesome, beautiful and intelligent! At least I have only one misconception about myself unlike you who is a walking store of misconceptions!" He sneered and Vaish's temper rose high now.

No one, no one gets to insult her and walk away.

"Oh really? I'm the walking store of misconceptions, says who, the man who thinks that he is the one and only man send by God as some Angel to end the miseries of ladies! While in reality he is just another arrogant, egoistic jerk who is full of himself and can't accept his defeat at an argument by a lady." She replied haughtily and Abhay stood speechless.

Now everyone around them was shocked because for the first time in history Abhay Singh the great Drama King was left speechless by a lady.

Abhay and Vaish were now staring at each other with fire in their eyes. Somewhere in the middle of argument they lost track of themselves and pointed at each other's flaw. This was the first time something like that happened because till now they were in a vanilla relationship.

Always admiring each other and looking at each other's qualities but for the first time they talked about the things that bothered them about each other and it felt good to discuss that. It was like one less burden to carry.

To outsiders it might look like an argument but for them it was a stepping stone in their relationships, letting each other know about what problems they have with the other person's habit.

Rehan sensed the sudden tension in the atmosphere and coughed to bring these two angry birds out of their spell. He knew they were lost in each other, trying to seek answers about the unknown feeling that was slowly surrounding them; because he had felt it with his Angel.

"Why don't we try appetizers, my champ must be feeling hungry and Rabiya Di and mom need to take their medicines." Sanaa said trying to help her husband in making everything normal.

Abhay and Vaish noticed other people and nodded to their friends and walked in opposite direction trying to analyze the things said by each other.

"I won the bet sister." Rehan said while they were eating dinner.

Rabiya smiled and replied, "You might have won the bet but Abhay will win the girl."

"What makes you say that?" Rehan asked.

"Because she will challenge him at every point and test his limits and knowing our Abhay he won't back down ever and even if he feel tired she will support him. She challenges him as well as compliments him. They are made for each other."

"So now you are sure about them?" Rehan asked already knowing the answer.

"I was sure the moment Vaish looked into his eyes because that is the same way Armaan looks at me, the same way Shenu looks in yours; like the world around us doesn't matter and we are the only one who exists."

***

"So what was that?" Sanaa asked as soon as she and Vaish were alone.

"That was me being my usual stupid self and forgetting that I'm not at my home anymore and need to behave like a mature lady." Vaish replied with a sigh.

"Vaish... You know that no one will judge you for what you said. We are family and we don't judge each other based on momentary actions. And I'm not talking about your words; I'm talking about the way you were looking at Abhay like he is the only one that exists." Sanaa said and Vaish closed her eyes trying to think of an excuse to deny that.

"I was not..." She tried but was cut in between by Sanaa. "Don't give me any explanations Vaish. I'm not asking you to justify yourself. I'm just telling you what I saw. I can see that you have feelings for him and so does he. Believe me I would be the happiest person if you two are together."

"But...?" Vaish asked knowing that she wanted to say more about this.

"Look Vaish, I'm your friend and his too and I would hate to see any of you two hurt. But you know that both of you have your own issues to handle. Like you about your Vegas trip and Abhay well he has his own problems going on right now and also he is not serious towards commitments and stuff like that." Sanaa said the bitter truth and Vaish took a sip of her juice trying to digest her words because as harsh they were, they were true.

"I don't mean to discourage you or something like that. I just want to remind you that you have these many issues in front of you which you people have to overcome before being together." Sanaa put her hand over Vaish's and Vaish gave her a tight lipped smile.

"I know Shenu. I promise you that I won't start this relationship with any doubt in our heads but we have a long way to reach there. For next one month I'm concentrating on my project and I'll talk to him clearly after that. We won't arrive at any decision hastily." Vaish said in a confident tone which removed all of Sanaa's doubt.

She hugged her friend and proceeded towards family table.

"Ask." Abhay told Rehan as soon as they were alone.

"What?" Rehan asked smirking.

"Whatever that is brewing in your devilish mind. Ask right away." Abhay told while sipping his coke.

"Naah. I'm happy with all the theories inside my head. They give me more entertainment then reality. Otherwise knowing you, you will deny all the obvious things and say that you don't believe in love and relationships." Rehan said trying to get an answer out of him.

"I never said that. I believe in love and marriage." Abhay replied promptly.

"Now he says the M word without any problem. Progress. Well done Vaish." Rehan said and Abhay choked his drink.

"Since when did you start calling her Vaish?" Abhay asked raising his eyebrow in a suspicious manner.

"Since she called me asking help in arranging this party! Chill bro. She is like a friend to me. I'm happy with my Angel. You handle your Fireball!" Rehan said raising his hand in surrender.

"By the way jealousy suits you Mr. Singh!" Rehan mocked him.

"I'm not jealous just .... Protective. Yeah protective." Abhay replied.

"Don't worry my friend. It's just the starting. You will feel jealous or in your words protective towards her, then possessive and then ..." Rehan left his words hanging.

"By the way I'm in Vaish's team. Consider it as a payback for all the times you have troubled me."

"Oh really! You want to be in the losing team? Your wish bro. But don't tell me that that I didn't warn you first. Because in between us there is only one winner and that's me." Abhay boasted.

"Like you won today?" Rehan asked with sarcasm obvious in his voice.

"Today was her luck but it doesn't work that way always." Abhay tried to cover up.

"We shall see then." Rehan replied with his devilish smirk on his face.

"By the way Shenu was asking me about my Gym mentor's number for discussing her work out schedule. Shall I give it to her, Mr. Know It All? He is well built and single. So..." Abhay said just to get a reaction out of Rehan because he can't let Rehan win in the end.

Two defeats on his birthday.

Not happening.

And he did not get disappointed.

"She did what? And why does she need to work out? She is fit and if she wants to work out than she can do it with me. She doesn't need anyone's help. No, I won't let these shrewd creatures in the outside world see my Angel in her training outfit. I can't let that happen. I need to talk with her. Angel!" He screamed the last word and walked away to find her.

"And people say I'm the jealous one!" Abhay said to himself smirking in victory.
