“Itna nahi hota inse ki neeche aake bye bol de. Itna aalsi to koi kaise hi ho sakta hai. Na muh chalana hai na paav!” She muttered under her breath, stomping her foot down.
She was about to leave when her phone rang and kept her occupied.
“Ishqi, ek second!”
She heard him when she finished her call. “Itne kasht kaise le liye aapne, AVM? Wo bhi mujh jaisi nacheez ke liye,” she asked, her tight-lipped smile making her sarcasm a lot more evident that she intended it to be.
“Tum… nacheez nahi ho, Ishqi!” Despite his stoic face, she could figure out that her choice of words didn’t go down well with him.
“Jhooth mat boliye, AVM. Nacheez HI hoon,” she said, turning her face away to suppress her smile, “tabhi to aapne chaai bhi nahi banayi mere liye!”
“Tumhe chaahiye thi? Sorry, mera dhyaan nahi raha!” Apologetically bowing down his head, he stood there. “Abhi bana doon? Piyogi?”
Oh, how she wished she could start her phone’s camera and show him how adorable he looked!
‘AVM could be so naive at times! Wouldn’t even understand when she was messing around!’ Shaking her head, she thought to herself.
“Aap aur iss nacheez ke liye chaai banayenge? Rehne dijiye. Pata chala, aapki Dadi ne mujhe deewar mein hi chunwa diya ye dekhne ke baad!”
She chuckled and before she could tell him that she was kidding, he stepped closer, grabbing the strip of her bag. “Maine kaha na tum nacheez nahi ho. Baar baar mat kaho. Mujhe accha nahi lagta!”
His intense eyes held her captive for a long moment before she got a grip on herself. “Kyun accha nahi lagta?”
“Kya main nahi jaanta ki tum Sonu se milne nahi bas ye dekhne aayi thi ki main thik hoon ya nahi…”
Her eyes stared at the ground while a small smile played on her lips. “Accha, aur kya jaante hai aap?”
“Ke tum jaanti ho, meri Maa ke wapas aane ke baad… main thik nahi hoon. “
“Aur?”
“Ke tumhe fiqr hai meri!”
“Maine to kabhi nahi kaha, mujhe fiqr hai aapki.”
Silence dominated their conversation until he lifted her hand, caressing his ring on her finger.
The ring that he had lost and she had found.
The ring that she had kept and he had let her keep.
“Tum kehti kum ho aur main sunta zada hoon!”
Tum
Kehti
Kum
Ho
Aur
Main
Sunta
Zada
Hoon!

This is a random piece of fiction. Absolute imagination. Kind of a random mini tale based on the picture on the characters named Ishqi and Aahan, fondly addressed as IshqAan from the show Ishk Par Zor Nahi that starred Param Singh and Akshita Mudgal as protagonists.
