Chapter Thirty
"Good then. I like it better like this"

× ANANYA ×

"Yaar, I miss Kirti"

Everyone's eyes was now on Vivian who just said that while busy on his phone. He didn't look up for the first few seconds but later one by one, he looked at everyone, confused.

"Did I just say that out loud?" We nodded together.

"Oh, OH shit!" He muttered to himself. I glanced at Sahil and he did the same, we passed each other a teasing look knowing what's on the other person's mind.

"Stop staring guys, I feel shy" he said and pulled his tshirt a little above his head hiding his face inside it. We laughed at him.

"So you miss Kirti, haan?" Sahil teased Vivian who was sitting just in front of me. Vivian and me, we were both sitting on the window seat while Sahil was sitting beside me and Abhinav beside Vivian with Avyaan in his lap. The two other cousins were seated beside Sahil and Abhinav.

"And he even used her correct name this time" I added with a teasing look.

"I meant to say I miss fighting with Kirti. There is no timepass here, Avyaan slept, both of you are in your romance zone and those both are playing games. What am I supposed to do?!" He justified his statement after poking his head out of his t-shirt.

"Han beta karle jitna cover up karna hai" Abhinav whispered as his son was peacefully sleeping in his arms.
[Yes, cover up as much as you want to]

"Mat maano yaar"
[Don't listen]

I, Sahil and Abhinav looked at eachother laughing and after a few seconds Vivian muttered.

"Ananya?" I nodded asking him to speak further.

"This shouldn't fly to your bestie." He said in a warning tone but a begging face.

"I'll think about that" I said, shrugging while he just glared.

"I'll tell Sahil about that then" I looked at him strangely.

"About what?" Sahil asked and I shrugged again.

"That!" Vivian exclaimed trying to make me remember. I just showed him a thumbs up indicating him to tell anything he wants.

What does he know now?

"Ananya please, you won't tell Kriti"

"What were you going to tell me, Vivian?" Sahil asked curiously. Vivian asked him to come closer and whispered in a voice only three of us could hear.

Abhinav got busy in making Avyaan sleep again, not before glaring at us, as his son woke up because of us.

"Ananya ka Jo ex hai na-" I cut him off mid sentence.
[That Ananya's ex boyfriend-]

"Mera ex bhi hai?"  I questioned.
[I have an ex?]

Vivian narrowed his brows asking me to participate in this act of his. I did the same.

"Oh han. Hai hai. Woh Naya wala etna acha hai na toh purane ko bhul gayi main" I said and Sahil's shook his head.
[Oh yes, I do have an ex. My current one is so good that I forgot about my ex]

"ye aajkal ke bache, khule mei flirt karte hai!" Vivian dramatically said and came back to the topic after getting Sahil's glare. "Yes, so, Ananya's ex met her and asked her to give him another chance. Ananya asked me ki woh kya kare? Usko chance dena chahiye fhirse?"
[Today's generation kids flirts openly/ that what should she do? Should she give him another chance?]
