I'm dedicating this shot to Khushworld1234

Today happens to be our friendship anniversary. 🤪🤪

Happy anniversary kush 🤣🤣🤣

Two years down. Many more to go 🥳

"What's your name??"

"Zada" she said awkwardly

The whole situation is very awkward for her

She was walking back to her hostel with Sammy

She had seen the girl in some of the photos in her brother's phone.

Great!! She went on a date with her brothers' bestfriend

Now she is being walked back to her room by another one of their friend

And neither of them knew who she is

"Zada. Pretty name. I'm Samantha. Close friends calls me Sammy. You can also call me that as you are very close to Amar" Sammy said

"Oh we are not that close. Actually, this was our first date. So... "

"That's pretty big where Amar is concerned. He never goes on dates. He only ever had flings. So, if he had taken you out on a date, that means you are special" Sammy said with a little shrug

Zada could feel the heat creeping up her cheeks and she thanked heavens for it being dark, so that Sammy wouldn't see her blushing

As they reached near her room she saw Neha pacing in front of the room, excitement radiating off her in waves

They could see her lips move in sync with her hands

Probably talking to herself

When she spotted them, she shrieked and ran to them

"Zaddu... You are back!! Tell me tell me how was it?? Did you guys kiss?? How many times did you kiss??"

Zada mentally groaned

And what is with this zaddu??

Like really??

Just today, she received compliments from two people that she had a pretty name and Neha went ahead and ruined it

"God!! You ruined my name Neha. What name is that?? Zaddu?? Eeww!!"

"You don't like it?? But everyone calls you Zada. I don't want to call you what everyone calls. I'm your bestie.I should call you something different" Neha said with a pout

"Not Zaddu... Please"

"Okay. What about Ada??" Neha asked expectantly

Way better than Zaddu

"Better"

"Oh my Ada" Neha threw her arms around her celebrating her naming ceremony making Zada roll her eyes

Sammy cleared her throat gaining their attention

Neha looked at Sammy and her face it up

"Heyy Sam. How are you??" Neha asked giving Sammy a hug too

Sammy seemed very uncomfortable with Neha's over expression of affection

Zada gently pried Neha away and shot Sammy an apologetic smile

"You two know each other??" Zada asked

"Ofcourse. We met while watching IPL. You know how many friends I made on that day. You should have come with me. I would have introduced you to everyone. There were so many people. Next friendship day, I'm going to tie a friendship band for every one of them. And I'm going to make them myself." She paused for a moment and then continued "Arre, why should I wait till the friendship day?? I could start making now. My cousin, kushi di, she knows all these arts and crafts. I will ask her to send me a video of making pretty friendship bands and then I will make all my friends wear that. You both tell me your favorite colors. I will make them.. "

"Stop it my Mandoli express" Zada said shaking Neha lightly

"Aye.. My momma also calls me that. How did you know??" Neha asked with a frown

"You are an express train when it comes to talking and you are from Mandoli. So it's simple guess"

"Now you also don't tell me that no one would marry me. My momma always says that after calling me Mandoli express. She says all the boys will run away hearing me talk." Neha said making a cry baby face

"Some boys falls for the most talkative girls" Sammy said with a sad smile.

"That's right. My papa is the silent type you know. Talks very less. And when he talks, he says things others don't understand. And until I met you I always thought that my momma and bade momma are the most talkative people in the world. And my papa is head over heels in love with momma" Zada said

"Really?? I already like your momma. Do you have a brother Zada?? One I could marry?? Does he have a motorcycle. If yes please book him for me okay. Tell him not to fall in love with anyone else. Oh we are going to be sisters in law. Wow. I always dreamed of a beach wedding. Sasuma wouldn't mind, would she??"

"Yeah sure" Zada said grinning

"Okay girls. It was nice meeting you. Goodnight" Sammy said and looked at Neha with another sad smile and walked away from them

Why did she seems so uncomfortable with Neha?? Zada wondered

"I didn't forget about the date." Neha declared somehow remembering the long lost topic

"Wow!! That's new!"

Amar walked into his home which is pretty dark

But then it's past eleven at night and everyone would be asleep by now

He whistled lightly walking through the dark halls and was about to climb the stairs when the hall lit up and he stopped abruptly

He saw his mother standing with her hands on her hips and staring angrily at him

His father was sitting half asleep on the couch

He groaned loudly

He so didn't want to deal with this now

"Good night mom"

"Dhruv Vedant. Tell your son to stop right there" his mother screamed at his father who jolted awake

Dhruv looked at him

"Amar.... "

"Dhruv ask him why he didn't attend any of my phone calls??

"Amar..."

"Dhruv ask him why he didn't come home after college"

"Amar...."

"Dhruv tell your son that I'm very angry at him"

"Amar...."

"Dhruv ask him how could he do that to his own momma.The momma who carried him for nine months and bore the labor pain for eight hours straight. The momma who kissed his boo boos away when he was a little boy. The momma who..."

"Stop it woman. Tell him whatever you want yourself. Leave my out of this. Don't ruin my sleep. Why did I even marry you?? I must have been darn crazy to get myself tied to you" Dhruv Vedant said throwing his hands in the air and walking towards their bedroom

Suha Vedant gasped loudly and marched behind her husband

"Dhruv Vedant.How dare you say that??"

Amar let out a breath in relief

"That was a lucky escape." He said to himself and sprinted to his bedroom ,in case his mother decided to come back and interrogate him

****

Next morning Amar came out ready for college and saw his father sitting with a newspaper in the living room

"Goodmorning dad" Amar greeted and his father looked up. There were dark circles around his eyes which clearly explains that his mother didn't let his father sleep after the comment he made last night

"Tough night dad??" He asked

"Shut up. It's all because of you. That damn couch broke my back" Dhruv Vedant complained

"Well, you shouldn't have said what you said."

"I know. But sometimes that woman drives me crazy" Dhruv said and Amar chuckled

"But you love her" Amar said and his father smiled

"Could anyone resist loving your mother"

"That's so cheesy dad"

"Look who is talking. Atleast I don't Google pick up lines" Dhruv said and Amar looked at him in shock

"What?? Don't look like that. I know about your Playboy ways. I have my sources Amar Vedant" Dhruv said and Amar squirmed in his seat

"Uh.. Does mom knows??"

"Not yet. I don't want her to know and worry about you. I was about to talk to you about this when your mother told me about your date. Seems like you are changing on your own. Keep that up. I don't want you to hurt your mother in any way" Dhruv said and Amar nodded awkwardly

"Now go and get your quota too. You escaped yesterday."

"Okay. Let me go cheer her up"

He walked to the kitchen where his mom was setting te breakfast

They have lots of servants in the home but they like it when their mom cooks

"Amar, my bacchaa.. You are awake?? Come on have your breakfast. It's getting late for college" His mother said smiling creepily at him

She is upto something. He could feel it in his bones

"Thank-you mom. What are your plans for the day"

"Oh this and that" she said waving her arms dismissively creating a non chalant aura around her

Definitely upto something

A/n

What do you think Amar's mom is upto??

Poor Sammy, she is uncomfortable around Neha and Neha doesn't have any idea about it...
