Zian and Neha looked up when they heard a discreet cough and saw Zada standing there with her arms folded on her chest raising an eyebrow at the duo

Zian had a caught look on his face and Neha beamed at her eating the pizza happily, not knowing the plight Zian is in

"Hello" Zada greeted them with a smile but Zian could see the twinkle in her eyes but Neha was too busy devouring her pizza

"Hello Zada....this is Zian" Neha said pointing at Zian

"Hello Zian. Nice to meet you" Zada said and and Zian gave her an awkward smile

"And Zian. This is Zada, my bestie" Neha said beaming at Zada

"Wow. You both are Zs" Neha said

"I think it's time I leave. It was nice meeting you two" Zian said and stood up from the seat and by now Zada and Zian were standing side by side

"Wow. You two almost look similar. Same same eyes. Same nose. Same lips too. Zian, you could easily pass Zada off as your sister.You two have the same first letter too." Neha said laughing at her new discovery

Zian and Zada exchnaged a look and stood away from each other quickly, not wanting to give anyone else the chance to come to the same conclusion

Neha's brain might not catch up with the obvious as she was too busy with filling her stomach

"Why did your parents name you with Z. How difficult it would during vivas and all. You will have to wait all day for the viva and by the time your time comes, the teacher would be tired and irritated.It would be equally difficult for people whose names start with A too. They comes first. They will have to answer so many questions without any idea on how the examiner is. See ,my momma is smart. Named me with N. I come in between. Neither in the beginning nor in the end. One time naa, during a practical exam -"

"Bye girls..you two carry on" Zian said

"You are going?? I didn't finish my viva story" Neha pouted

"Today's quota is over Neha. Maybe some other time" Zian turned on his heels to walk away and noticed his brother and best friend looking their way.

It seemed, they just walked in. Zahir had a curious look on his face and Amar had a frown on his face

"What were you doing there?? Do you know them?? What were you guys talking?? " Amar asked as soon as Zian reached them

Both Zian and Zahir raised an eyebrow at the way Amar was interrogating him

"It's nothing. I was a little rude to her yesterday, so I went to apologise" Zian said

"You were rude?? Why would you be rude to her?? And how convenient to apologise after being rude??" Amar said sarcastically

"What happened to you? Why are you being so worked up?? I know I was wrong. So I apologised and even bought her a pizza. See she is happy" Zian said pointing at Neha

Amar looked towards them and saw Neha eating and Mirrie skimming through the menu card

"Oh, you were rude to Neha??" Amar asked trying to calm himself. He thought Zian was rude to Mirrie and that somehow made him want to punch his best friend a few seconds ago. He almost did that.

What the hell is wrong with him??

He should be equally angry at him for being rude to Neha.

How is Mirrie any different

"You know Neha??" Zian asked with a slight frown on his face

"Duh. I know all the girls in the university" Amar said with a non chalant shrug.

He didn't want them to know that he knew Neha through Mirrie

Mirrie wouldn't like being in the spot light, and thinking about the stunt he pulled in the morning, he definitely did put her on spot.

He shouldn't do that again. If somehow news spread that he is showing interest in her, that would be difficult for her

"Zi being rude. That's a first" Zahir said dramatically earning an eye roll from his brother

"If you didn't hear the first time, I apologised"

"Why man?? We are Oberois. Oberois don't apologise" Zahir said arrogantly

"That's non sense. I don't know how you sleep peacefully knowing that you have wronged someone in someway. My conscience wouldn't allow me to sleep peacefully until I say sorry" zian said

"Ofcourse, you are the golden boy. It would affect your reputation if you don't say sorry. Remember? I'm the bad-boy.I can get away without apologizing" zahir said

"Oh yeah. And secretly momma's boy. I wonder what would become of your bad-boy reputation if they knows you still cuddle with momma while at home" Zian said smirking earning a kick from Zahir under the table

"Hello boys." They looked up to see Samantha Jindal coming towards them with a sweet smile on her face

She is their batchmate. And she is a very beautiful girl and a very good friend too.

"Hello sammy" Amar and Zahir greeted her and Zian gave her a smile

"Zi. Did you see this article on-" Zian cut her off mid sentence

"Sammy. How many times have I told you to not call me Zi. My sister doesn't like it. Only she calls me that" Zian said politely dimming her excitement lightly

"Oh sorry Zian. I was just excited to show you this article on Frans Lanting. I thought you would like this." Sammy said

"It's okay Sammy. Show me the article" and Zian got engrossed in the article

"Sammy. These subtle hints are not working with him. He is a very observant person. But when it comes to him, he is an idiot" Amar said patting Sammy on her shoulder

"What are you talking about??" Sammy said avoiding eye contact

"That you are madly in love with my brother. But he is too oblivious to the fact" Zahir joined the conversation

"How did you find out??"

"It's written in bold letters on your face Sammy"

"Still, the one who should notice, haven't noticed yet" Sammy said with a sad smile

"And Sammy, stop trying to be someone you are not. You have no interest in wild life photography, yet you try to be involved in all this. What do you gain by that. If he starts liking you, because of these things you do for him, then he is not liking the real you. Is that what you want??" Amar asked

"I don't know what else I should do. He is not interested in any girls here. Once I even thought he is a gay" Sammy said and Zahir burst out laughing gaining Zian's attention

"What is so funny guys. Share it with me. Let me also laugh" Zian said

"You won't find it funny" Amar said chuckling earning a glare from Sammy

"It's nothing Zian"

"It got to be something. And from the way you three look, it seems the joke is at my expense. So I should definitely know" Zian asked folding his arms across his chest

"Sammy here thinks you might be a gay" Zahir said and Zian raised his eyebrows at that

"And you think being a gay is bad?? If I'm a gay, it's my preference. What is so funny about it??" He asked and Zahir's eyes widened

"Are you saying that you are a gay??" Zahir asked

"No. I'm not saying that. And Sammy, just because I'm not a playboy like these two, doesn't makes me a gay either"

"Sorry Zian. I didn't mean it that way"

"I won't touch a girl, unless she touches my heart. And so far, no one had touched me here" Zian said pointing his heart and suddenly an image of Neha drooling over the pizza passed through his vision

He shook his head to clear off his unwanted thoughts

"That's great Zian. I wish there are more boys like you" Sammy said falling for him all over again

"And you make us sound like some low life" Zahir said grumbling and Amar had a thoughtful look on his face

How would it feel to touch a girl for whom he has some feelings

He looked over at Mirrie laughing at something Neha said and all those things, he felt while being close to Mirrie came rushing to his mind

Is he falling for Mirrie??

He have known her for what?? Two weeks at the maximum

Can someone develop feelings so quickly

He doesn't even know her name, for crying out loud

Maybe he should stay away from her for a while.

That would help him in analysing his feelings for her

Hello gals

How is this shot??

The conversation between Zahir and Zian on apologising, it was from IB. There was a scene between om and shivaay on the same. When shivaay was reluctant to say sorry, om telling him these things. I thought that scene would look nice here

And our bad-boy Amar seems to be falling for Zada. And he seems smart enough to realise it soon, hei na??
