"Aati hu...( I will be right back)" avni said take the clothes from the bed and go to the bathroom.
"he's been so sweet to me, I've never seen someone care for me so much before." Avni thought and started blushing and changed her clothes.
"These smell just like him" avni thought and wrap her arm around herself, getting a feel of bhavik's clothes.
Just then she remembers that he is waiting for her outside.
As she enters the bedroom, she sees Bhavik's eyes scanning her.
"Vaise Sch me tumhare uper mere clothes zyada acche lg rhe hai (By the way, my clothes really look better on you.)"
Avni replied shyly "Ye sch me bohot comfortable hai (they sure are comfortable)"
"bhavik replied Chlo niche chalte hai ( let's head back)" and both of them went downstairs together.
*******"**
As they enter the living room, everyone gets shocked seeing both of them together and avni wearing bhavik's clothes.
Isha asked shockingly "Wait, ye bhavik ka shirt hai?? (wait, is that bhavik's shirt?)".
Isha added further "Tumne ye kyu pehna hai?? (why are you wearing that?)"
rama interupted changing the topic."Vese, me keh rhi thi, ki sch me ye cosa Nostra ki sbse popular shadi hogi ( anyways, I was saying, I'm sure this will be the most talked wedding in cosa nostra )"
daksheesh ensured with a cheerful smile."Or me dhyan rakhunga ki ye din sch me special ho, aakhirkar mere ek lauta beta hai jiski shadi ho rhi hai (I'll make sure to make it a special day. it's my only son who's getting married after all )"
Avni feels uncomfortable while listening to all of them over- enthusiastic over the upcoming wedding.
Aadinath suggested "Mere khayal se hame ise jitni jaldi ho ske shadi ki date niklva Leni chaiye , aankhir shubh kaam me deri kesi ( think we should do this as soon as possible, after all why delay any good work)"
bhavik ordered folding his hands around his chest. "Itne bade decision me jaldbaazi krne ki koi zarurat nhi hai (there's no need to rush such a big decision )"
"Pr, bhavik....." Lateeka tried to explain bhavik just then bhavik interupted.
Bhavik ordered "Itni hadbadi krne ki zarurat nhi hai, me pehle apni hone Vali wife ko acche se Jan na chahta hu...(let's take this slow, I wanna know more about my bride first...)".
Bhavik's eyes meets avni's as he says the word hone Vali wife.
"Why is he looking at me like this?" Avni thought getting a bit awkward.
"I hope Rama ji's sharp eyes don't catch any of this" avni thought.
Isha blabbered without even thinking once."Of course, ham ek dusre ko jan skte hai, kesa hoga agr Aaj rat tum mere sath mere ghr chlo (of course, we can get to know each other, how about you come home with me tonight?)"
isha was about to say furthe just then rama interrupted."Kisi ko jan ne ka sbse best tarika to be...(the fastest way to get to know someone is in the )"
"Isha...." Rama stopped her awkwardly before letting her complete the word 'bedroom'
Bhavik replied "Well, me soch rha ham fir se mil skte hai..(well, I think we can meet again )"
just then isha interrupted before bhavik can complete his sentence."Kb? Kha? Me ready hu!! (Where? When? I'm ready!!)"
But bhavik didn't reply to isha's words and replied to Daksheesh "Papa, me ise hamari club ki fifth anniversary party me invite krna chahta hu (I'd like to invite her to our club's fifth anniversary party.)"
Daksheesh agreed "Ye to bohot accha idea hai, bhavik (that sounds like a great idea)"
Isha again interrupted in between"Oh, you know i love parties"
And again rama stopped isha in between "Accha hai, club moj-masti krne ke liye or ek dusre ko jan ne ke liye acchi jagah hai.
Bilkul, isha jayegi vha(That's great, it's a perfect place to have some fun and get to know each other. of course, isha will be there)" rama replied
But bhavik ignored rama and just straight looks up at avni."Mera matlab tum, I'll see you tomorrow avni"
bhavik ordered and everyone's gaze lands on avni as bhavik suddenly invites her to the party.
"What is he doing?" Avni thought getting awkward.
***********
At Bhanushali's office,
After an eventful dinner at the vaidya's, avni duty at the Bhanushali's starts.
"Damn! This taxes haven't been paid in years, how am I going to clear their tax fraud." Avni thought while working in the laptop, sitting in her office.
Just then, the door of the office opens, and Rama walks in while giving her usual contemptful expression."I hope tum apna kaam thik se kar rhi hogi (I hope you are hard at work )".
avni replied stressed ."I am trying my best, pr In accounts me bohot gadbad hai (but these accounts are just a mess)"
Rama taunted "Tum proof kya krna chahti ho? Ki tum kitni unskilled ho apne kaam me? (is that another way of saying how incompetent you are? )"
Rama added further "Vese, I hope ki tum Aaj rat ki party me Jane ka plan nhi bna rhi ho (anyway, I hope you are not planning to go to the party tonight )".
Avni replied boldly "Mere pas vha nhi Jane ka koi logical reason nhi hai, afterall mujhe invite Kiya gya hai me kyu na jau??(there's no reason why I shouldn't,After all I have been invited why shouldn't I go??)".
Avni added further "Or vese bhi Mera work time bhi over ho gya hai! (And anyway my work time is also over!)"
Rama replied "Fine, but tumhe rat bhr party me rukne ki zarurat nhi hai. Bs vha jao, koi accha sa excuse bnana, or jitni jaldi ho ske vapas aa jana (fine, but there's no need for you to stay at the party tonight. just go there, make an excuse, and come back as soon as you can.)".
Rama added further "Or dhyan rakhna ki isha or bhavik ek dusre ke close aaye, ye tumhara kaam hai(make sure isha and bhavik are getting close to each other, that's your job)"
avni replied raising her eyebrows. "Really?Ye Mera kaam nhi hai! Me sirf ek assistant hu. (Really that's not my work as an assistant)"
Rama replied angrily "Zyada oversmart bnne ki zarurat nhi hai. Ye tumhara faltu assistant ka title kisi kaam ka nhi hai. Bhulo mat ki tumhari family hamari karzdar hai or tum yha use chukane aayi ho (There is no need to be too oversmart. This title of your useless assistant is of no use. Don't forget that your family is our debtor and you have come here to repay them.)".
Rama added further "Me chahti hu ki ye rat khtm hone se pehle isha or bhavik ke bich achi bond bn Jaye or vo dono ek dusre ke close aa jaye, samjhi? (I want that before this night ends, a good bond should be formed between Isha and Bhavik and they both should come closer to each other, understood?)"on which avni just nodded silently.
Rama started insulting avni "Good, aakhirkar, tumhare parents ne tumhari freedom chnd rupyo ke liye bech di, to tumhe apni aukat pta honi chaiye(After all, your parents sold your freedom for a few rupees, so you should know your worth)"her words hurts but avni choose to compress her lips and remain quiet.
"Everyday here proves to be harder than befor" avni thought and took a deep breath.
************
Back to avni's room
"The thought of getting to see bhavik sends butterflies rushing to my stomach." Avni thought and started blushing.
"But should I really take his invitation seriously?" Avni started overthinking and again her mood changes.
"I'm not even sure if he really wanted to invite me or was it just on a formality" Avni thought and started feeling awkward.
Just then , the maid entered inside her room with a gift box in her hand. "Miss avni? A delivery for you!".
Avni asked "Kya? Mere liye? (What? For me?)"
The maid replied "It's from mr. Bhavik vaidya."
Just then isha interrupted coming inside the room "Bhavik vaidya? Are you sure you're at the right door?"
The maid replied "Yes,miss Bhanushali, it clearly says it's for miss.anand"
After listening this, isha got pissed off and went from there angrily.
Avni ordered pointing towards the bed "You can keep it here"and the maid kept the box on the bed and went from there.
As Avni opened the box, she was pleasantly surprised....
A cute kitten was sitting inside the box
"Meow..." The kitten yawned peeking outside from the Box.
"OMG! You're so cute...." Avni exclaimed excitedly.
Just then she saw letter sticking on the top of the box. She took the letter and started reading.
______________
I know it can be lonely to leave your old life behind, so this is your new companion. I look forward to seeing you tonight.
-bhavik
______________
"That's so sweet, so he did really invite me" avni thought and started blushing.
"Yha aao chotu, tum kitni cute ho yrr (Come here Chotu you are so cute)" avni exclaimed and took the kitten in her lap.
"This is the cutest gift I've ever received, you'll surely cure my loneliness here" avni thought caressning the kitten's head.
Just then the kitten jump from avni's lap and ran under the sofa.
"What should we name you?" Avni thought looking at the kitten.
"Ummm.... kitty yess you are my 'kitty' " avni thought and took kitty again in her lap and started caressing her back.
"Meoww"
"I love you too little kitty" avni replied kissing her head.
"We're gonna have so much fun together" avni said and hugged Kitty.
"Thank you bhavik, this is the best gift ever" avni thought and started blushing.
"Meoww"
