Aakriti's Pov
I adjusted my saree while Rishabh ji sat up looking at her in confusion.
"Hi Kajal" I smiled at her.
"Aakriti!" she acknowledges me, then wanders her eyes at Rishabh ji who doesn't seem to like the fact that she came in while we were sleeping.
"Hi jija ji, do you remember me?" She walks towards him and sat beside him making him gulp uncomfortably.
I was mad but I always wanted to laugh at the helpless look on his face.
"Actually no" He gave straight answer, making Kajal's face fall but she covered it.
"Hawwwwww, how can you not remember me? I was looking so pretty that day and we even took pictures together" she took out her phone, probably to show him the pictures she's talking about.
I stood there awkwardly,not knowing how to turn her down. I have always been bad with comebacks, while Kajal is purely savage.
"My attention was completely towards Aakriti, I hardly remember any guest I met that day except for some important ones" He said, making her eyes bulge out.
It wasn't even that mean,how much her facial expressions shows.
"So you are saying that I'm not important" she exclaimed dramatically.
Rishabh ji went silent making the answer obvious,it made me giggle.
"Han han hass le tu, even my future husband wouldn't look at you" she said definitely getting offended by Rishabh ji's reply.
"I have my own husband to look at me" I said, she looks at me with shock.
Rishabh ji chuckles at my comment, making me smile.
"Now if you allow, I would like to sit beside my husband" I said taunting-ly.
It wasn't that big deal that she was sitting just next to him,but I was well aware of her intentions.
"You sit beside him everyday,let me be for today" she whined like a kid.
Rishabh ji looked at me and passed an annoying look, clearly not liking her.
Me too Rishabh ji me too.
I huffed and sat beside her,while she was in middle of us.
She's the annoying third wheel here
kebab mein haddi.
"Jija ji, you are so strikingly handsome how did you end up with this raccoon? only arranged marriage can make this happen" She laughs loudly.
Did she called raccoon?
"Raccoon? I got married to Aakriti not you. Ask this same question to your husband if he happens to be 'strikingly handsome' " Rishabh ji was so good with these replies.
This was kinda mean,no?
But she's being mean too so its okay.
I felt like I was on an one-on-one roast show.
I never knew this side of him existed.
I see why he's a script writer.
You could tell by Kajal's face that she's frustrated.
"Why are others late? they never come on time" She complains.
"No actually, you're early" I infrom her.
"Yeah?I just thought of spending some time with you and jija ji" she pours innocently as if she wasn't calling me raccoon moments ago.
Anyways, raccoons are cute, no?
"You two sit, I'll go bring some snacks to eat" I said getting up.
"Yes please" Kajal said as I was leaving the room.
Then I realised what I just did, I was leaving her with Rishabh ji alone.
God knows what will she tell him just to embarrass me.
I groaned internally, yet left the room cause I knew Rishabh ji can handle.
I went in the kitchen and started arranging the snacks on the plates.
"Aakriti!" Another person, another hug.
"Ruchika" I chuckled as she squeezed me tightly "How are youyuuuuuy?"
"I'm good."
Seems like I was missed.
"Why did you call me early?" She asked pulling away.
Since she live in walking distance,I texted her to come asap so I don't have to tolerate Kajal alone.
"Kajal's here" That was enough for her to understand.
She rolled her eyes and helped me in taking the snacks to my room, where we could hear Kajal's laughing.
"Ruchika, you're here so early?" Kajal questions Ruchika.
"Were you only allowed to come early?" Rishabh again encountered her.
Ruchika laughed at Kajal's flustered face.
"Don't like the taste of your own shit" Ruchika fake pouts at her.
"Bring the snacks, I'll just eat" Kajal said plainly and shifted her focus to the food knowing nobody was going to put up with her stupidity.
"Hello jiju, how are you liking here so far?" Ruchika asks politely.
"Why are behaving like some hotel staff" I whisper at her odd behaviour.
"You know, I'm bad at starting conversation" she huffed.
"Rishabh ji, meet my sweetheart Ruchika" I introduced her in better way.
Rishabh ji shook her hand politely and smiled.
Soon we were laughing and talking, while Kajal just ate the food.
She tried to make fun of me again but Rishabh ji had my back.
I'm sure she's regretting coming here.
After an hour or so Vaishali and Sheetal joined us.
Vaishali and Rishabh ji met each other like they're long lost friend, I really admire their bond.
While sheetal being her introverted self didn't spoke much but laughed at everything.
I was having really good time, it's good to have a friends reunion.
We didn't even realise when it was dinner time , Yuvraj came to call us down.
His eyes directly meeting Ruchika's , they both smiled at each other which was looked more of a teasing smile rather then platonic.
He always hit on her, they should just date.
"These two a thing or what?" Rishabh ji asked gesturing at Ruchika and Yuvraj's interaction.
"They should be " I said and he nodded
We all surrounded the dinning table which was filled with delicious food.
It didn't took us much time to finish it, everyone seemed to have a good time.
One by one everyone left.
Yuvraj took Rishabh ji on a walk, saying he deserved some 'boys time' after being surrounded with girls for so long.
I kind of agreed though.
I sat on our living room sofa with my mom, her hand finding it's way to my head.
She massaged it lighting, taking away all rhe stress.
It felt good to be back here.
