A sudden noise jerks them both awake.

"Mai so gayi thi kya? I'm so sorry mujhe pata hi nahi chala." Raavi woke up, sheepishly.

"Mai bhi kabhi soya pata hi nahi"

Only then did they both realise how they had slept off. They looked anywhere, but at each other, embarrassed.

"Shiva, 9:30 ho gaya, hum itni der se bahar hai! Chal jaldi!!" She said, rushing.

They helped each other up, and walked down the beach to reach the bottom entrance of the haveli.

"Shiva, tu itna accha bhi mat ban" Raavi suddenly said.

"Tujhe dimaag pe chot aayi hai kya? Uss din mujhe suna diya kyuki mai accha nahi tha, ab jab accha ban raha hu, toh usme bhi problem? Chahti kya ho madam??" Shiva asked, looking at her as if she's stupid.

"Arre nahi, matlab, humari woh ladhai, ek dusre ko insult karne waali thi. Ab agar nok jhok hogi, toh ek dusre ki insult nahi karenge na. Mazaak ho jaayega woh."

"Life me thoda mirch masala nahi hoga, toh faayda kya?" She looked at him and laughed.

"Tu mujhe kabhi samajh nahi aayegi, chipkali, maa kasam." Shiva said, and breathed a sigh.

"Ae bhootnath, ab accha laga na? Woh kya hai, ki jab log Shiva aur Raavi ka naam sunte hai na, toh sabse pehle word aata hai 'ladhai'. Ab ye humari speciality hai, toh aise kaise chod de"

Both of them walked back home, creating a ton of stupid nicknames on the way back.

This was just the beginning of a cute friendship, but not everything is perfect all the time.

"Ae gadhedi!"
"Ae kirane ki dukaan!"

Both of them looked at each other and laughed.

"Idhar aa."

He walked over to kitchen and saw her preparing breakfast.

"Bol kya kaam tha."

"Mai tujhe ek time ka khaana kaise banate hai, woh sikhaungi. Chal aaja"

"Pagal ho gayi hai kya? Mere ghar waalo ko maarne ka iraada hai kya?"

She laughed.

"Arre buddhu, tujhe pura nahi bana ne ko bol rahi hu, mai bhi help karungi tujhe."

"Par mai kyu sikhu, tu hai na?" He confidently said.

"Kisi din nahi rahi toh? Kya karega?" She squinted her eyes at him.

"Abhi tak dhang se aayi nahi hai meri zindagi me, ki jaana hai tujhe. Huh. Pagal chokri." Shiva huffed.

"Chal naatak mat kar, idhar aa. Sab batati rahungi"

As Shiva cut the vegetables and did just as Raavi explained, someone outside had been eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Taste kar poha, kaisi bani hai?" Raavi asked eagerly.

"Not bad, chipkali. Tu toh badi acchi teacher hai!" Shiva said, tasting the poha.

"Soch rahi hu atta gundh ke rakh du dopahar ke liye. Upar se woh atta ka dabba dena." Raavi said, taking out the kneading plate.

As Shiva went to hand Raavi the container, his oily hands couldn't grip it properly, and the flour went flying everywhere.

Both of them were dusted in flour from head to toe.

" Shivaaaa kar raha hai tu yaar!" Raavi said, annoyed. "Mai bhi teri tarah bhootnath lag rahi hu"
