Hugging Malar back, Swayam mumbled "just because I am hugging you it doesn't mean ki maine tujhe maaf kar diya!!!"

Breaking the hug, Malar frowned "theek hai naa...ho gayi galti...ab kaan pakkad ke sorry bolu kya???"

Swayam scolded "oh hello...yeh joh tune kiya hai naa...usse galti nehi paap kehte hai!!!...ek toh tu India shift ho gayi aur baataya taak nehin...usske upar se...tu peechle doo dinno se Delhi mein hai...aur mujhse milne mere ghar bhi nehi ayi!!!...woh toh accha hua ki maine tera haal pouchne ke liye Dadi ko call kar liya tha...unnhone hi mujhe teri information di...kyonki tu toh maha busy insaan hai...tere paas mujhe inform karne ke liye waqt hi kaha!!!...sometimes I badly wish ki dosti mein bhi divorce dene ka option hona chahiye!!!...but woh simply kar nehi sakte...issliye kal raat ko phone kar ke I broke my friendship with you!!!"

Now somewhat the entire situation started to make some sense to Ajey. Yet he waited to be fully assured of the relation between Malar and Swayam.

After patiently listening to Swayam's monologue, Malar politely apologised "agar tera list of complaints khatam ho gaya ho...toh I am really sorry...I know...I should have informed you...but nehi kiya...excuses nehi dungi...it's just I didn't inform..."

Softening a bit by Malar's apology, Swayam teased "woh sab toh theek hai...par tune India ate hi boyfriend baana liya aur baataya taak nehi!!!...naughty girl!!!"

Raising her eyebrows in grave confusion, Malar mouthed "boyfriend?????" Only to hear Ajey also blurting the same out of shock.

Swayam confessed "wow yaar Malar...tera boyfriend bol bhi sakta hai!!!...I thought aapni baat manwane ke liye tu kisi gunnge ko date kar rahi hogi!!!"

Coming out of the trance, Malar smacks Swayam's head "chup baith!!!...kuch bhi bakwas bolta rehta hai!!!"

Turning towards Ajey who was extremely puzzled since the time they bumped into Swayam, Malar sincerely apologised "don't mind his words Ajey...yeh poora pagal hai!!!"

Pulling a strand of Malar's hair, Swayam joked "aur yeh pagaloon ki doctor!!!"

Trying to scare Swayam with her dough like eyes, Malar got down to introducing them with each other "meet Ajey...he is my family friend!!!..(facing Ajey)...and Ajey...yeh Swayam hai...my childhood friend!!!...meri tarah yeh bhi London mein aapne grandparents ke saath rehta tha...bass 5 years pehele hi uncle ka business sambhalne ke liye India aya hai!!!"

Doing moon walk in mid heaven, Ajey eagerly extended his hand for a hand shake and said "nice meeting you yaar Swayam"

Shaking his hands with Ajey, Swayam curiously confessed "you know dude...tumhari awaaz naa...badi hi jaani peehchani si laag rahi hai...bass yaad nehi aa raha!!!"

It was then that Ajey removed his camouflage for few seconds to give Swayam a glimpse of his true identity.

Squealing with joy, Swayam cried out "oh my God Carry!!!...Malar ki bacchi...tune pehele kyon nehi baataya ki tu The Great CarryMinati ko jaanti hai..."

Shrugging a bit Malar said in a muffled tone "mujhe khud kuch dinno pehele paata chala hai!!!"

Looking at Swayam's excitement Ajey just smiled back at him. While Malar got worried with Swayam's over the moon reaction, as she didn't want to gain attention, for the sake of Ajey's safety.

Trying to contain his 'out-of-this-world-wala' feeling, Swayam managed to say "Sir...I am a big fan of yours...and it's an honour to meet you in person...pleaseeeeee kya aap ek autograph de sakte hai..if you don't mind..."

Happily agreeing to it, Ajey signed a notepad which Swayam produced.

Feeling hell embarrassed with Swayam's geeky behaviour, Malar scolded "ab tera agar ho gaya ho..toh aapne kaam pein jaa naa!!!"

Giving her a mischievous look, Swayam teased "haan-haan bass jaa hi raha hu!!!...waise bhi jab saath mein boyfriend hota hai...toh thodi naa koi aapne dost ko bhao deta hai!!!"

Malar's jaws just dropped. While Ajey was loving every bit of this conversation.

Coming back to her senses, Malar thrashed "tu jaa raha hai ki main sandal uttar ke maaru!!!"

Giggling at Malar's threats, Swayam spoke "theek hai baba jaa raha hu...but usse se pehele yeh pouchna tha ki tujhe meri maafi chahiye ki nehi?"

Huffing out of frustration, Malar said "haan chahiye...kyon???"

Juggling a card out of his pocket, Swayam handed it to Malar and declared "agar maafi chahiye...toh Saturday ko iss address pein aa jaana..."

Protesting against it, Malar chided "oye... main nehi aa rahi!!!"

Rolling his eyes, Swayam took the card from her hand and placed it in Ajey's "Sir...please aap Saturday ko isse leke aa jaana...I am counting on you..."

Saying this Swayam disappeared from there. While both Malar and Ajey looked at each other with awkwardness.

Breaking the silence, Malar apologised "that was super creepy!!!...I am so sorry Ajey....meri wajah se you had to tolerate Swayam's idiosyncrasies...."

Nodding his head in a 'no' Ajey consoled "arrey no issues yaar...I am kind of habituated..."

Malar thoughtfully added "yeah...I guessed so...you seemed so calm and composed..."

Now that Ajey was aware of the relation between Malar and Swayam, he felt relived and super happy.

Reminding Malar of her actual reason to visit the mall, Ajey excitedly pointed "woh raha tumhara shop...ab chalo jaldi...formals nehi kharidna hai kya!!!"

Putting all her thoughts in an imaginary bag, Malar dumped it in an isolated corner of her brain and simply followed Ajey's lead.

Five minutes into the shop and Malar was absolutely sure that she wanted a black and white pair of formals.

Scowling at her, Ajey tried reasoning "jab se main tumse mila hu...I haven't seen you wearing any other colour but black and white!!!...ab kal tumhare life ka itna bada din hai...yaha bhi black and white pehen naa hai!!!...matlab...baaki colours se aapne kaun se janam ki dushmani nikal rahi ho!!!"

Malar casually stated "arrey Ajey...black and white ka combination is naa classic...har occasion pein chal jaata hai!!!"

Ajey would have debated further, but he caught a glimpse of something in their opposite store.

Excusing himself in the pretext of making a call Ajey left from there in a hurry and went to the store opposite to the one in which he was.

In the meantime, Malar paid for the dress she had selected and came out of the store. On coming out, she found Ajey zipping his hoodie frantically.

Adjusting his hoodie abruptly, Ajey commented "ho gaya shopping?"

Malar affirmed "haan all done...bass zor ki bhukh laag gayi hai..."

Ajey immediately insisted "toh phir yaha se seedha food court chalte hai...tum waha kuch khaa lena..."

Malar eagerly approved of the idea

In the next fifteen minutes, Ajey found himself seated at a corner table diligently protecting Malar's shopping bag. While she was away at the food counter ordering herself something to eat.

Approaching Ajey with a tray of burger and coke, Malar straight away took a seat beside him.

Adjusting her tray, Malar questioned "are you sure ki tumhe kuch nehi khaana Ajey?"

Assuring her Ajey stated "arrey baba...main ghar se khaa ke nikla tha...issliye tum khaao..."

Without wasting any time, Malar held the burger between her both the hands and was about to take a bite of it, when her idiotic phone started ringing.

Hell exhausted, Malar looked at Ajey for help "please mera phone attend karoge..."

Readily agreeing, Ajey asked "haan zarur...par tumhara phone kidhar hai?"

Malar calmly responded "mere jeans ke back pocket mein hai...waha se nikal lo naa"

Saying this she turned her back towards Ajey, so that it would be easy for him.But it wasn't. Gulping down his saliva, Ajey moved his shivering hands towards Malar's back pocket. With utmost care Ajey tried to extract the mobile as if he was dismantling a bomb. The whole thing might have took less than a second, but for Ajey it felt like an eternity.

Once Malar saw that the mobile was in Ajey's hand, she sat properly.

It was then she noticed that Ajey's whole face had turned red and he was sweating profusely.

Instinctively Malar asked "fully air conditioned mall mein tumko itna pasina kaise aa raha hai???"

Trying to distract her, Ajey reminded "woh sab humlog baad mein discuss kar lenge...par pehele toh tum Manik bhai se call pein baat kar lo..."

Saying this Ajey held the mobile phone near Malar's ear so that she could talk easily.

Before Malar could say 'hello', Manik demanded on the phone "Chhoti tu abhi kaha hai?"

Malar obediently replied "abhi toh main Ajey ke saath mall mein hu...kyon?...anything serious Bhaiyu?"

Manik informed her "darsal hum sab Delhi aa gaye hai...tu jaldi se bass ghar aa!!!"

As Manik hung up, Malar once looked at the tempting burger in her hand and then at Ajey.

Miserably failing at deciphering her reaction, Ajey directly asked "kya ho gaya???...yeh burger ko aise one sided lover wale looks kyon de rahi ho???"

Sighing helplessly Malar said "well meri family Delhi aa gayi hai...so I need to rush back home now!!!"

An perplexed Ajey asked "yeh toh good news hai naa...phir aise sad kyon ho rahi ho???"

Malar huffed "ab ghar pohachne ka wait karna parega naa before I can peacefully eat my burger!!!"

Ajey giggled "bass itni si baat hai!!..tum naa car main baith ke bhi khaa sakti ho...pakka promise main tumhe disturb nehi karunga!!!"

Malar's face instantly brightened up "arrey haan...car main baith ke bhi toh khaa sakti hu!!!..shit year main toh bhul hi gayi thi!!!..chalo phir ab jaldi se ghar chalte hai!!"

With smiling faces, both of them exited the mall.
