A Twist of Destiny

8.

While walking inside, I met Aratrika. We greeted each other. "Got flowers" She said with an evil smile. I nodded, trying to hide my smile. "Larki sharma rahi hai. Kisne diye ye to bata?" She asked. "I bought it for myself" I said trying to convince her.

[Translation: The girl is blushing. Tell me who gave this?]

"Liar. I saw you exiting from Siddharth's car" She said raising her eyebrows with the same smile. I got caught. "If you knew it, then what's the point of asking me? Huh?" "My bad" She said and casually laughed. We walked to the lift, still laughing.

It was evening, Adaa and Aratrika were going home. Exiting the office, Ara noticed that Siddhart was waiting there. "Kisi ko aapse pyaar ho gaya hai miss Adaa" She said teasing Adaa. "What?" Adaa replied giving her weird looks. "Look there" She signaled the direction where he was standing leaning on his car.

[Translation: Someone has fallen in love with you Miss Adaa.]

"Handsome to hai londa" Ara said. Adaa didn't say anything and put her purse over her face and started walking so Siddhart doesn't notice her. He recognized it was Adaa as soon as he saw her. "Hey" He said signaling her.

[Translation: The guy is actually handsome]

She didn't had a choice, but to go to him. Aratrika stood there, watching them both. "What are you doing here?" She asked. "Came here to drop you home" He said. "I'm going with my friend" She said looking at Aratrika. "Ask her to come with us too" He said.

"Hamare khud ke pair hai, ham khud chale jayenge" She said and went towards Aratrika, while he was still standing there. "What did he say?" Ara said. "He asked to drop us home" Adaa replied making Aratrika's eyes widened with excitement.

[Translation: We have our own legs,  we can go on our own]

"Then what's the problem?" She said and walked to his car, holding Adaa's hand. "Let's go" Ara said to Siddhart. he let out a chuckle and looked at Adaa. She was embarrassed, but said "waise to ye kisi ke car me nahi jati, par ise aapse milne ka kuch zyada hi shok hai"

[Translation: Although she doesn't go in anyone's car, but she is very fond of meeting you.]

His lips curled into half smile, more like a smirk. "Accha hai" He said and got on the driver seat. Both the girls sat on the back seat. He started driving, and Ara started giving Adaa evil smiles."Haa to Jiju aap karte-" Ara got cut off halfway by Adaa's intense stare. He chuckled but made sure that the girls dont't notice that.

[Translation: It's good]

[Translation: Yes so borther in law what do you-]

She gulped and said "What do you do, Mr Shrivastava?" "I work as a CEO" He said and she smiled looking at Adaa. "He's the guy who'll make your fantasies come true" She whispered to Adaa. In reply, Adaa just smiled sarcastically and looked outside the window.

"Drop me there" Aratrika said pointing at a distance. He stopped the car, after reaching the place where she was pointing. "Bye Adaa" She said and exited the car. Bending down, she looked at Siddhart and said "Bye Jiju". Before Adaa could say anything, she closed the gate and ran away.

She rubbed her forehead with her fingers and looked at Siddhart. "Kaha chale miss?" He asked turning his head. "mere ghar, of course." Adaa replied. He turned his head back and started driving. "Mai narak chali jau but aapke saath apne ghar ke alawa kahi na jau" She again said.
