"They say love-hate relationships are the best trope of love story any one can have. But I don't agree with it. I say understanding relationships are the bestest because if without talking with each other you immediately understand what your partner is thinking, you are winning in life"

(VAISHNAVI POV)
We finished our dinner and all my didi's went to their respective rooms. I was drinking cold water from the fridge when suddenly I felt someone's hand on my shoulders. I jumped out of shock with right hand on my mouth to stop the water from spilling out from my mouth and my left hand clutching water bottle tight to my chest only to find dhvani didi staring me. Duh, what's wrong with her!?
She started laughing at my reaction while I just pout and stormed out of the kitchen after putting water bottle back to its original place.
I went towards our house's living room and she followed me. We both sat down on sofa and I turned to face her as she was already looking at me.
"Why did you suddenly kept your hands on shoulders..? I thought you were ghost" I asked her with pout on my face.
" Obviouslyyyyy stupid to scare you." She said in a naughty voice.
"Didiiiiiii!!!" I whined as she starts laughing crazily.
"Arhm... arhm... Anyways. So Miss Dhvani Bhattacharya tell me should we do time pass as I am not that sleepy..?" I said her in my professional voice.
"Yes sure, Miss Vaishnavi P. Before doing time pass, I want to ask you something." Firstly her voice was professional one but suddenly it turned into a serious one and nodded telling her to ask me whatever she wants to ask.
"What are you thinking..?" She said with her eyebrows up as if she knows that I will do something.
"Hehehe apko kaise pata chala...?" I said in a baby voice while she laughed little.
("Hehehe how did you came to know..?")
" Ami tomara bona Vaishnavi, tai ami saba kichu jani." She said in Bengali language. Let me tell you she belongs from Kolkata, West Bengal so bengali is her mother tongue and because of her we also know how to speak little basic sentences in Bengali.
("I am you didi Vaishnavi, so I know everything.")
" Ami jani, apani saba janena." I too started speaking in my broken and accented bengali.
("I know, you know everything.")
"Yeah so if you know everything then why are you asking me this stupid question..?" I asked as I raised my eyebrows in a questioning manner. I am not going to answer to her so easily.
"It's because you are sooo unpredictable. Even if we all know that you are up to something, we can never guess what attack you will do until you strike first." She said in haughty voice while I smirk thinking what I will do.
"Didi just wait and see. You don't need to know anything but this that when that striking time comes, you just sit and enjoy the show.... Okay....?" I said in my naughty voice.
"Aree yaar (come on), atleast give me a hint about what you are going to do..?" She curiously asked.
While I just smirked more and said,
"The hint is only word...

Confrontation....."
"Vaishnavi I don't know what you are going to do but be careful don't hurt anyone's feelings... I mean don't go to far..... Okay..?" She warned me, it was more like an order. Even though have of the mischiveous tricks and prank she has taught me, she still makes sure to tell me always to never go to far. Pranks and tricks are only enjoyable when everyone, including the person who it is played on, laughs and enjoys it.
"Didi I know my limits and I swear at the end of the day I will say sorry for whatever I did. To be honest, I am very excited for this collaboration as you know na how much I like to collaborate with various artists.Though the nature of this collaboration, is kind of bugging me. Still, trust me I will not do anything which will hurt someones sentiments." I reassured her.
"Mothi zhali mulgi." She speaks in Marathi, my native language and shuffles my hair while smiling in an endearing way at me.

I was at gym which is near our estates when I got a call from my manager cum my best friend. My other didi's don't come to gym as they work out in the company's gym in the morning. But as I have to go to college some days in the morning and the company is far away from our house, I have to come here instead. I don't want to skip away even one day of exercises or else it shows in your movement when you dance. So I am very particular about it.
Me: Hey.....
Jui: Hey whatsapp..?
Me: Celling
I said in a naughty voice trying to make her laugh which I definitely succeeded.
Jui: ohh god!! Why are you soo mischievous..?"
Me: should I tell you the reason..?
Jui: yes please
Me: I don't know.... hahahahaha
Jui: shit...I fell in your mischief trap again right na...?
Me: yesssssssssssssssssss!! Btw why you called me..? Any particular reason.
I said her as I was packing my belongings and getting ready to get out of this hell!! Even though I always exercise at gym, I hate this place and I hate exercise. I only try to be consitent because of my job and career.
Jui: oh yeah I wanted tell you about that collaboration between you and Jimmy.
Me: yeah please continue, I am listening.
Immediately as she spoke of work, my tone became, professional. No mischief during the time of work.
Jui: I was informed by his company that they will be arriving at our office by 5:45 pm.
I looked at my watch, it was just 6:15 am. That means they will arrive in almost in 8 or 9 hours.
Me: Have their company or our company prepared for escorting them without any media or bystander's knowledge..? We cannot afford the attention on them visiting our company, at least for now.
Jui: yes both of the companies took utmost measures at the airport making sure that they get out from the airport easily without any one's prying eyes. I have also made sure that no reporter from VU news is stationed there. Also, Fire Entertainment have made plans about where and how to go forward with the collaboration. You don't need to be concerned to start from the process from scratch, as all the processese has already started by now.
Me: okay thanks for letting me know. Do you have something more to say...? Actually I am currently in gym and as I have college today, I would have to run down the house to quickly get a shower and get ready.
Jui: Oh yeah, the driver will be there a little early at house, by 7:20, instead of 7:30 to pick you up because his daughter is getting married today, so make sure that he leave you at college by 7:45.
Me: Yes i remember, he told me yesterday about it.
Jui: That's all. Oh wait- and yes one more thing, you have a small dinner date scheduled with Jimmy at Oberoi Hotel in Nariman Point, at 9 pm.
As she said dinner date with him, I smirked as it was perfect time to show him different personality of me and also for the initation of my plan. When she told me The Oberoi Hotel of Nariman Point, I smiled as Marine Drive is one of my favourite place in the whole world. I guess luck is by my side.
Me: okay can you tell me the timings our date.
I said with putting stress on the word date.
Jui: I will text you after your college is finished because the schedule haven't coe to me yet as the company is dealing with it. For now get ready for your college.
I quickly replied as yes and made my way towards our house to get ready before heading towards college. It turns out my best friends didn't understand my tone of mischief when I said the word 'date'. Lucky me, I don't have to answer one more person about my plan.
At home, I told my didis about our dinner date and as expected everyone they teased me. They teased me till they got calls from our manager and then, they went to get ready to the company for their respective scehdules.
As I was in the car, going towards the college, there was only one word which was making me go crazy. My heart was telling me that this person is somewhat very different. I don't know why but I was feeling like this.
That one word was.....
