Let's keep it simple

part 20

Shalini is walking looking straight to find the specific brand store while he is walking behind her with her 4 shopping bags.

"Doc.. i think hum yaha mere liye shirts khareedne aye the
U see I really need them"
He hates shopping But
It's Sunday and he  was in desperate need of some wardrobe upgrade hence he agreed to come with Shalini.... But now he regret his decision.

"Oh stop being such a baby captain....
Just one more stop and then we will hit your store....... I promise"

"I can't believe it's Sunday afternoon and instead of sleeping inside my blanket I am lifting your shopping bags"

"Ohhh... So you wana lift someone else's shopping bag...."
She teased him and saw his cheek turning red.
To which she pressed her lips to suppress her giggle.

"You know I hate you doc"

"Yeah I love you too captain"

And she dragged him inside one of the pink store.
With all the furs and felts

"Amante 36 number"
She asked the sales girl and while he was checking out the store
The sales girl started flaunting bras and he felt like someone put a bullet in his head and his brain was all over the store

"I will wait outside"
He took a flight from there

And as he strolled on the street he stopped by a small vendor with beautiful jewellery designs

He ran a quick scan and picked up one pair of oxidised silver hoop earrings
Small and classic
Neither too loud not too regular....

And he just got one feeling to buy it for her
It will look good on her
As if it's totally normal and regular affair to buy stuff for her he asked for price and made a purchase

Glaring at the earings wondering how will it look on her.
Imagining her wearing these on her ears.
Smiling at him
Feeling extreme joy and smiling like an idiot as the vendor stare at him.

And then came the next question
How is he gonna give it to her
Ohh shit
He gave himself a reality check

.... This was mistake
He went with the flow and later realised the stupidity of this idea..
He can't go in the kma corridors giving gifts to his cadet
No matter what he feels....
What business does he has to buy her earings
She is not his girlfriend or something

Oh god captain what were you thinking.
All the fluttering stopped and he came back to sense .

"Bhaiyya ye nahi chahiye actually rehne dijiye"

"Sir no return policy hai sorry"

By then Shalini was already behind him

"Par bhaiyya ap samajh nahi rahe main ye use nahi de sakta...."
And the vendor gave him a look

"To kisi aur ko dedena sir"
The vendor was a badass

"Are par koi aur hai hi nahi"

"God captain I am looking for you everywhere..... What are you doing here
Oh wow they are soo pretty "

Shalini saw the earings in his hand

"Inhiko dedo sir....use to ap de nahi sakte "

"Kaam kar apna "
Rajveer snapped at the vendor boy who was clearly making fun of him while Shalini suppressed her chukle again

"You bought this captain, for whom?
She played innocent
Wait a minute is it for me"
And she took the earings from his hand
While his face went long...

"Why not
It's for you"
He can't give it to naina anyway...
He gave a subtle expression , unable to hide the sadness of not being able to express your love for the one girl that matters the most. And started walking towards the men's store while Shalini laughed behind his back having a proper look at the earings.
