บท 41: THE SHOPPING

"Relax, I really think he likes you, and don't worry you'll not get hurt, and by chance if he hurt you, I'll not spare him, I'll break all his bones and his nose, so his handsome face will be ruined", said Suhani and laughed.

"You know right, how serious I am regarding him, but every time when I see in his eyes, I only see a fun, nothing else, he could be never serious about me, and I am so sure he will do something, which will be so unexpected", said Jhummi in a sad tone, "come on, there will be nothing happened like this, you just stop overthinking and chill", said Suhani and pat her back.

"Are you okay?? Can we go shopping now, the trip is next week, and we didn't prepare anything yet, there are so many preparations left, I didn't make a list of the things which will be needed there, oh god, I'll be mad I guess, and we have to shop so many warm jackets and hoodies, there will be so cold, I wish when we reach snow would fall there, that would be an awesome day of my life and this would be the best trip of my life, because I am going there with you", said Suhani and Jhummi hugged her, "me too babe, thank you so much for being everywhere for me", said Jhummi.

"I will call Neel, so he will come out from his college and we will pick him", said Jhummi and Suhani nodded her head, "how did he react, when you told him about the trip", asked Suhani, "his creation was priceless, he couldn't believe, he thought I am joking, but then I told him that he is seriously coming with him, he was investigated about the fee, but I didn't tell him the truth, I told him that as I am sports person so college is paying my expands, I just can't tell him that some unknown person paid for me, that would be so weird, so you also take care, don't mention anything about that unknown guy in front of him", said Jhummi and Suhani nods in understanding.

"My phone is on low battery, will you please call Neel and tell him that we are coming to pick him", said Jhummi, "sure I will, you take my keys, will you please drive today, I'll sit beside you", said Suhani and Jhummi smiled, Suhani dialed Neel's number and he picked the call in one ring, "hello Neel, be ready, we are coming to pick you", said Suhani as Neel picked the call, "hey, you are coming to pick me, said Neel in blushing tone, "no, I said we are coming, not alone me", said Suhani, "it's okay, at least I could stare you the whole time", said Neel and a cute blush appeared on Suhani's face, "Then I'll see you soon, waiting for you", he continued and cut the call, the blush plastered on her face, she was smiling continuously to the way to Jhummi.

"Hey, wear your seat belt, you are sitting with me, don't forget that you are risking your life with me, and your safety is my responsibility", said Jhummi and Suhani laughed, "stop doing your nautanki, you are brilliant at driving, your skills are better than me, and you remember you won the bet with the Isha's boyfriend in high school when you were learning the driving, I was hell impressed with your skills that time", said Suhani, "okay okay now stop your appreciation or I will lose the balance", said Jhummi and laughed so hard.

"We reached at Neel's college, call him, where is he said Jhummi?? "He is there, Suhani waved in his direction, he was standing in opposition of his college, as he noticed Suhani he quickly came to her and opened the door, Suhani was sitting in the back seat and Neel also sits in back seat, Jhummi noticed his brother's smile and she glared in his direction, "what you guys think, I am your driver or what", said Jhummi in a naughty tone but with a serious expression on her face, but both Neel and Suhani know that Jhummi is joking.

Jhummi parked the car in the parking of the mall, and they climbed out of the car and headed inside, "are you happy Suhani that I am coming with you both at the trip", Neel whispered in Suhani's ear, although he said that very slowly still Jhummi heard that, but she was pretending that she is not aware of anything, "hmm why should I be happy, you are just brother of my best friend", said Suhani in teasing tone, "so you don't care that I am coming, then I am leaving, I don't want to do any shopping", said Neel with a very sad face and "please inform Jhummi that I am leaving", said Neel and turned his head to leave but Suhani holds his hand, "Hey, don't go, I was joining please", said Suhani with a guilty face, Neel's face lighted like a bulb as she holds his hand, he quickly kissed her cheek in a blink so one could notice, "then I am coming with you", said Neel and held her hand tight.

"Ahm Ahm, Jhummi coughed and Neel quickly left Suhani's hand, Suhani, I guess you came here for me", said Jhummi and Suhani came to her and hold her hand, "of course I am with you, come first we will see jackets for us", said Suhani shyly.

Both girls started shopping and Neel thought that they got mad because they were shopping like there is no tomorrow, he thought that it was their marriage preparation, "girls, don't forget that I am here too for shopping", said Neel and glared them, "you guys are unbelievable, you bought sandals, shoes, jackets, tops, caps, and for me, nothing, are you guys are not ashamed a little", he continued.

"Calm down, of course we know that you are here, and we are almost done, so now we will shop for you", said Suhani in her sweet sugar voice so Neel forgets his anger and he smiled suddenly. Both Jhummi and Suhani started selecting suitable clothes and shoes for him, and in one hour they finished their shopping for three of them. There was a different happiness on their faces, especially Neel, he was so much happy.

"I am running behind you from last four hours, and now I am hell hungry, I am going to eat something, you guys come if you want, otherwise I am going", said Neel and both girls ran behind him with a lots packets in their hands, "it's obvious Neel, we are hungry too, you can't run like that and help us and pick some packets from my hands", said Jhummi but Neels didn't stop, "yes please Neel, my hand is aching now", said Suhani, as Neel heard her voice, he quickly turned his head and saw Suhani was holding so much bags, so he ran to her and took the bags from her hands and Suhani took a breath in relief, but as Neel was not prepared for this, Jhummi was glaring in Neel's direction with angry fire like eyes.
