Aarav POV

It's finally Sunday! I can't accumulate the amount of happiness I am feeling right now. I cleared my interview at Sarraf Department stores and will be joining them from tomorrow as the lead interior designer for their upcoming chain of stores.

I can finally kick that stupid job in its ass and work at my dream company. I just called Aayan and he suggested us to go for a movie and shopping. Sounds like a plan!

It was evening and I got ready in a casual grey hoodie with black jeans. I called Rishi and came to know that him and Aayan has already reached the Pheonix Mall. I left and quickly took a taxi to the mall.

Yeah, a taxi! because thanks to that stupid girl, my bike is beyond repairs. Literally, you should have seen that mechanic's face. He said that it was one of the most disastrous damages he has ever seen. The cost of repairs was almost surpassing the cost of a new bike.

Thankfully, I am getting a new car from the office.

I reached the Pheonix Mall in almost twenty minutes and saw Aayan and Rishi standing near the entrance sipping on their slushes wearing casual fits like mine. I waved at them, and we made our steps inside the mall.

We were watching the new action film with our eyes glued to the silver screen and hands tangled inside the popcorn jar. Unknowingly my face tilted towards mt right and wait!

Is that her?

Like a few seats away from mine, I think the girl in a green knee-length dress is her, that Mercedes one! I tried looking carefully but due to the darkness in the movie hall, couldn't get a clearer view. I don't think it's her. Might be someone else. Mybe I am overthinking, I should concentrate on the movie.

I averted my gaze again towards the screen and engrossed myself in the movie. I tilted my face a few times in her direction but decided not to bother. The movie ended and three of us left the theater. We decided to grab a bite at the food court and made our way towards the top floor.

Being a pure vegetarian, I ordered a veg burger and cold coffee for me while Rishi had a wrap and Aayan being a hardcore Punjabi, ordered chicken momos with a grill chicken sandwich. Such a hog he is!

I went towards the counter with my order number to collect my order. I grabbed my tray with burger and cold coffee and was pacing towards my seat when someone dodged me from left side resulting my coffee to spill miserably on the floor.

What the fuck is happening!

I looked at her and that's it, It's HER.

I knew it. I saw this coming! If she is around, something bad is going to happen for sure. She doesn't come with a bad omen, she herself is the epitome of bad omen. The clumsiest woman ever breathing on this planet is her.

I was busy cursing her in my mind when I saw her slowly slipping away.

" Where the hell do you think are you going miss?" I taunted and I could see her squinting her eyes realizing she is caught. She looked up to me and that mask of arrogance again covered her face as she spoke,

" What? Don't you have eyes? or you like intentionally bumping into me? You know it's not your fault, I can understand it must be difficult to resist a beautiful girl like me but trust me you are not alone, and I am clearly not intreste-"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!"

My voice roared making the entire food court flinch. What does she think of herself? Is she considering me to be someone who runs behind rich girls to hold their branded purses! She is so full of herself.

Aayan and Rishi quickly came towards me and stood beside trying to analyze the situation. Aayan looked at the spilt coffee and then looked up to me asking," What happened? Is there any problem?"

"Yeah, can't you see this five feet problem standing here?" I said looking at her when Aayan also snapped his neck towards her checking the direction of my gaze.

"Why are you blabbering about my height? Abhi mai jaau kya tumhari height par?" she said looking clearly offended.

"My height? I am already six feet okay!" I said with confidence dripping from my voice but when I saw Aayan looking down at me, it didn't take me any time to realize what she was talking about. I gasped with my eyes wide open to which she just smirked.

"Hey don't distract me. You again bumped into me and caused a loss." I argued to which she argued back," Why are you always whining like kids haa? Take this and stop creating a fuss." she forwarded her credit card to me when I said," Don't you think you need to apologize before showing your card?"

"Apologize my foot! Anaya Sarraf apologizing to a monkey like you? you wish! Take this and stop wasting time." she spat arrogantly to which I was about to reply when Aayan barged in the argument.

"Guys, what are you doing! Stop creating a fuss at a public place for God's sake. Miss, it was your fault and lawfully you should pay for it and you, can't you just settle things peacefully?" he said.

"I don't want her money. She needs to apologize, and I will end this matter here." I declared to which he said," Abey Harishchandra ki aulaad, jab wo paise de rahi ahi to kya dikkat hai tujhe?"

"Bhai ek baat puchu?" I asked.

"Haa puch" he replied to which I asked,

"tujhe lawyer kisne banaya?", receiving a death glare from him, I averted my heated gaze towards her and demanded, " Ms. Anaya it would be better if you apologize right now, and I will end things right here."

Measuring my seriousness Aayan joined," Ms. Sarraf, please apologize and end this matter here. Otherwise, this guy is not letting this go."

She crossed her arms against her chest when her friend suggested," Anaya you better apologize. It was your fault."

"Samaara you too!" she gasped when we suddenly heard the long-lost voice," Ms. Anaya, Samaara ji is right. You should apologize." we looked at me with scrunched eyebrows while Samaara shyly tucked a hair strand behind her ear.

What the fuck is happening!

"Main aur Aarav bhi to itni der se yahi keh rahe hai. Humari baari me to nahi bola they are right. Ab kya hua? Aayan inquired raising his eyebrows to which Rishi shyly rubbed his nape answering," Sorry bro, my focus was somewhere else."

"I can clearly see where it is." Aayan taunted gesturing towards Samaara who was shyly stealing glances. I cut them off feeling absolutely done.

"Guys, yahi karlo pehle!" I almost yelled to which all four of them flinched, standing attentively looking at me.

All three of them, Samaara, Aayan and Rishi started blabbering things on she should at least say sorry while me and her where busy throwing daggers at each other with our death glares. We both stood there with our arms crossed against our chests when suddenly she shouted,

"Shut up guys! Fine, I am sorry." Anaya said in a much-irritated tone to which I smirked in victory.

"Satisfied now, ab chale?" Aayan asked.

"ITNI JALDI??" Rishi and Samaara both yelled in unison making us flinch. Aayan and I gave a death glare to Rishi while Samaara got glares from Anaya.

Anaya turned back stomping her feet and went back to her seat followed by Samaara while we got back to our seat when Rishi said he would bring coffee for me. We sat there for almost an hour bickering and devouring our food when we decided to have some shopping.

We entered the largest store of the mall having all the men's, women and kids' clothing. I was looking through some of the hoodies for myself when Aayan showed me a white shirt he came to like a lot. He said that his girlfriend Tara bhabhi liked him in white and black clothes more. I suggested him to try it and he went towards the men's changing room.

Rishi was busy stiffening some perfumes, selecting which fragrance to buy. I came across a few hoodies that looked perfect for me and decided to try them on. I was looking for Rishi to take his approval when Anaya entered the store with Samaara. She looked at me and then at the clothes in my hand.

A smirk made a way on her lips and a salesman approached her asking,

"What would you like to have mam?"

She again started at me and said with her eyes still on my figure," The whole store"

"Huh?" The salesman gasped in disbelief waiting for her to say it was a joke but the seriousness and the evil smirk of her face was telling that she is not going back from her words.

She took out the credit card from her purse and handed it over to the salesman widening her smirk to me.

Oh god! This girl is crazy.

Ek sorry kya bulwa liya ego hurt hogya madam ka!

Whatever.
