Cute Avantika?

"What!!?" Anand looked at Drishti with fake anger.

"Awww our angry baby." Dhruv commented, "Tell me since when you are doing all these."

"You didn't even let me know! I was with you in bangalore." Mohit rolled his eyes.

"Then why did you act like you can't fall in love? just wanted to play with our emotions?" Aditya would have slapped him if he was younger.

"Hey! Who said I love her? don't put your words in my mouth." Anand felt helpless. They teamed up against him.

"Then why did you draw her sketches? You didn't even draw one for Dri. Wasn't she close to you?" Rishi huffed.

"How could I? Raunak would have been jealous if i did that." Anand smirked.

"Don't change the topic. Explain these to us." Raunak opened his mouth. he would never mind if Anand drew a sketch of Drishti, in which she would be beside him. Of course Raunak must be there in the picture.

"Well, it's just I drew everyone's picture who were suspects. So it's normal." Anand shrugged.

"Oh! Really? Why I can't find anyone else's pictures? Wait, let's go and search your house, everything will be clear." Drishti was not going to leave him that easily. He gave all of them too much tensions.

"Hey! I'm a police. You are thinking of searching my house?" Anand knew Drishti meant it, "Listen guys! It's nothing like love and all. It's just her face was.....ummmm....too cute."

"Ahemm...Ahem...Too cute." Raunak smirked, "Okay, you don't love her. You just found her cute. I bet it's the first time you found any girl cute. Man! I admit you have a great choice."

"Raunak! Can you just shut up? I am just trying to say it's not what you are thinking. Guys! Don't get me wrong. But I don't like to be in relationship because i found her cute. I saw my mom to struggle. Amal Mehta also found her beautiful. What if one day I make a mistake like this? Mom won't forgive me." Anand's eyes were moist. His fear was more powerful than any kind of feelings.

"And why are you thinking like that? You know the struggle of a mistake. I'm sure you will think thousand times before doing it. I know you are very thoughtful and reasonable person." Rajiv found all of them were not trying to listen to him. They were in rush. But no relationship could be in rush. Anand was right. He needed time.

"You know what's my biggest regret? I am really Amal Mehta's son. I can't be more good than him." He was crying.

"Anand, you are good. You are really good. You need to prove yourself that you are good. And that's your biggest challenge. I bet, you will love to test yourself." Rajiv understood his mind setup. Once he had the same too. But Sanjana changed his life.

"Well, then I think I should. I'm going to meet Avantika. I sacred her today. And I think my job's done here. Everyone can go back home." Anand got up from his seat, took his car key and went outside. He didn't even bothered to say them bye.

Rajiv slapped his forehead with his palm, "That boy acted like whipped and refused like a freak. No wonder only a dumbhead like Raunak could be his friend."

"Hey bhai! I'm not a dumbhead, okay?" Raunak whined.

"For me, you are." He blinked.

Rajiv suddenly got a call from Deep. He knew why he called. But he didn't know how to explain.

"What's all these bhai?" Deep sounded angry.

"Err....I transferred some....." Rajiv didn't know what to say. His back got most of Arya's property as some were taken by government. So Rajiv transferred some in Deep's name as he was sufferer here.

"Bhai! Why? You could have told me your plans earlier. I don't want all those. You found Ragini's kidnapper, that's enough for me. I'm sorry bhai, I was so selfish then to help you. I was busy in Mitali's matter. But that doesn't mean I can't go though some loses for Ragini. Isn't your daughter mine too? I always treated her like one. Don't you dare to do that. If you do, I will make sure to make your bank go bankrupt. And I meant it." Deep just hung the phone.

Rajiv was really dumbfounded by his words. Since when he started to treat Ragini as his own daughter? He never mentioned anything like this. And what was about letting a bank go bankrupt? Was he planning some robbery?

"Bhai, Deep bhai scolded you? You deserve it. He is our family, right? Why do you care for his loses? I am a shareholder and I am not even tensed a bit. Here you come." She rolled her eyes.

"Well, guys! Do you know Deep bhai already met a doctor?" Mohit informed.

Avantika was staying in a hotel for the time being. As I was a hotel of Lahiri housing, she didn't need to pay. She was busy in her works when suddenly she heard a knock. She was dumbfounded to see Anand standing in uniform like few hours ago.

"Y...you.....err...here." She was stammering by his sudden arrival, specially in uniform.

"Can I come in?" He asked in a nervous voice. It felt so awkward. Before that she talked in her spoiled bratty tone and he just used to curse in his mind.

"Yeahh..." She was holding her breath.

Anand passed past her and sat on the couch. Many papers were scattered all around the room, with a open laptop. She was that messy!? Seriously?

"Sit." Anand noticed she was standing all the time. He understood he acted like it was his house.

"Oh, yeah.." She sat opposite to him.

"Listen, at first I want to say sorry. I was really angry on that quality manager that time. So I didn't think straight before yelling at you. He was connected with a kidnapping and smuggling case. A criminal. So I acted like that." he sighed a breath of relief after the explanation.

"Oh....you were on duty then." She bit her lips. His loud growls really scared her a lot. She was not habituated to hear those loud voices. In her house she was really treated like a princess. No one never shouted on her.

"Actually I am like this. I mean I'm really that ferocious when it comes to my profession. Sorry if I scared you." He admitted truthfully. He needed to. If she really liked him, she needed to know his true nature. He was ruthless, merciless in the interrogation room, he was like a death of devil in encounter. He knew she was always out of the real world. But if really wanted him, she needed to accept all those.

"You were not like this in bangalore. " She argued. He was on duty then too.

"I was a driver then. I needed to act like one. How could I act like a rough tough guy when I was in need of money?" He really behaved too polite then. Not that he was impolite. He just behaved mischievous with Drishti or Raunak. People act according to surroundings, right?

"Oh, so you here?" She asked at last. Was he only here to say sorry?

"Mmm...I'm here to say you are new to Kolkata, so if you need anything or in any case of emergency, call me. if I'm not available call Manav bhai. okay?"He still cared about her.

"Manav..bhai? You mean Mr. Banarjee?" She gulped. she would never dare to say anything personal with him.

"Are you also afraid of him? Well then you can call mitali or Rhea. I hope you know them." Anand had another options.

"I never heard of them." She didn't know who were they. Anand sighed, "Well, then you have only me." He smirked.

"What?" She didn't understand.

Anand took out Drishti's number and handed, "Take her number. It's Drishti's number.If you feel uneasy to call me, call her. She's such a sweetheart."

"Why will I be in problem? I can manage myself, okay? And who I your sweetheart? " Avantika frowned.

"Hehe! That's not your father's territory, okay? That's Kolkata. You don't even know the place. And I'm not saying you will be in trouble. It's just I want to make sure your safety. And about that sweetheart, she's not so sweet, okay? If you fall in trouble, she will make my whole life a trouble. I fear her most. So please contact her, again...IF EMERGENCY. " He shook his head and stood up.

"Thanks for your hospitality, no tea, no coffee. I will remember." He rolled his eyes and left a confused Avantika behind. A smile tugged his lips while remembering how cute she actually behaved.

But his happiness couldn't stay longer. Soon enough he got a text from Maya about those properties, he almost forgot about those!
