Beyond Control

shot 10

The morning rolled by and it was lunch time already

A very very hungry Neha is standing in front of the cafe, looking inside, drooling over the pizza kept in the glass case

People usually have a fight between their heart and brain and Neha is having a fight between her stomach and the brain

Her brain keeps reminding her of Pihu's taunts and her stomach urges her to go in and grab the pizza

Pizza, the love of her life

Who is more important??

Pihu or Pizza??

It definitely is Pizza, but then she couldn't erase Pihu's taunts as well

Her brain formed an image of Pihu wearing nothing more than an underwear and holding a pitchfork, an evil smirk on her face

"Stop drooling over the pizza. If you are hungry, go inside and eat." Neha looked at the direction of the voice and saw one of the twins

"Heyy, you" she greeted without much enthusiasm earning a frown from the boy

"What happened?? Why do you look so depressed??" Zian asked. He doesn't know the girl well. Have only seen her once, but he had got the impression that the girl has a sunny disposition. But now she looked downright miserable

He was looking for her actually. He wanted to talk to her

"I'm hungry" she said rubbing her tummy

"Then why are you standing outside the cafe. Go in and eat. Did you forget to bring money. Is that it?? Come in. I will get you something" Zian offered

He didn't like that look on her face

She looked good smiling, he decided

"I have money. But I'm on a diet" Neha said pouting

"Diet?? Why would you need a diet?? You look perfect" as soon as the words came out, Zian regretted saying that

Now, what would this girl think of him?? That he is some kind of creep going around checking out girls

Her eyes lit up

"You think so??"

"Uh, well. I mean. You don't look bad. I mean you are okay. You don't need dieting" Zian struggled with words

Neha turned to look at the pizza again

"I love pizza"

"I can see that"

"But I don't like all the pizzas. I hate it when they add pineapple in the pizza. It's not that I don't like pineapple. Infact I love pineapple. Pineapple juice is my favorite among fresh juices"

"That's -"

"Heyy. I can drink juice even if I'm on diet right?" Neha snapped her finger at her eureka moment

"Ofcourse you can"

Her smile dimmed again

"But there will be sugar in the juice. That would affect my diet."

"You can have sugar free juice" Zian offered wondering why he is still having this silly conversation with her

"Sugar free juice??. Then what is the purpose of drinking the juice if it won't taste sweet. It's not as if I'm diabetic. Not that diabetic people have their juices sugar free. Actually my papa is diabetic. And he is very strict when in comes to his tea and coffee. Not even a drop of sugar in it. But then he eats all the other sweets leisurely. Laddoos jalebis gulab jamun..everything. That's how he follows his diet."
