It was a bright Sunday morning. Everyone in Naina's house was waiting for her to come. Saira called her so many times but she didn't pick up her phone as it was on silent mode. Eventually, Saira have to come into her house room and wake her up.
Naina was in her own dream of her favourite fictional character Alex Volkov.
"Oye maharani uth bhi ja...tera koi sapno ka raaj kumar nahi aane wala tujhe CPR dene" Saira said sarcastically.
"Aree yaar itna acha sapna dekh rahi thi pata hai tujhe?!" Naina stirred and sat on the bed, her hairs were disheveled from sleep.
[Oye Maharani, get up too... no prince of your dreams is going to come, give you CPR
Aree yaar, you know I was having such a good dream?]
"Aree kumbhakaran ki choti behen uth ja nahi toh tere Karan late ho jayenge" Saira was a bit frustrated but eventually calmed down.
"Haye raam mein toh bhul hi gayi thi...ruk ja taiyar ho kar aati hu" Naina hurried and got freshen up. She did a bit of touch up and wore a green floral dress which was fitting her perfectly.
[Aree Kumbhakaran's younger sister, if you didn't get up then will be late
Hey, I forgot it last night...wait, I will get ready and come]
"Wahhh aaj pata chala ki log sabr ka phal milta hota hai aise kyu bolte hai" Saira said in a flirty way which made Naina giggles.
"Hatt ree....chal ab sab wait kar rahe honge"
[Wow, today I came to know that people get the reward of patience, why do they say so
hatt ree....let's go now everyone must be waiting]
As they both descended downstairs Kavish couldn't help but stare at Naina in her green floral dress.
"Hawa mein mithas hai ya teri muskurahat ka jaadu,
Ye kaliyan bhi sharma gayi jab tu chali baag mein aaj,
Hara rang jo pehna hai tune, jaise basant ki chhaya,
Phoolon ka gulshan bhi pheeka lage, jab tu aaye nazar.
Teri zulfon se khelti hawa bhi geet gaane lagi,
Teri aankhon mein chhupi wo kahani rang laane lagi,
Ye phoolon wali chadar, jo tune odh rakhi hai,
Jaise kudrat ne apne haathon se tujhe sajaya hai." Kavish said in a poetic way as he stared at Naina, everyone here was too stunned to speak. Naina looked at Kavish's eyes and saw something warm.
[There's sweetness in the air, or is it the magic of your smile?
Even the flowers blushed as you walked through the garden today.
The green you wear is like the touch of spring,
Even the blooming meadows seem dull when you appear.
The wind that plays with your hair has begun to sing,
The stories hidden in your eyes have started to glow.
This floral drape that adorns you so gracefully,
Feels as if nature itself has crafted you with love.]
After a while Aakarsh taps at Kavish's shoulder from which Kavish snapped out from his dream world of Naina and blinked twice.
"Bro? Tu thik hai?" Aakarsh asked him in a curious way.
"Uh...ha...." Kavish said while still staring at Naina.
[Bro? Are you alright?
Uh...yea.....]
Naina smiled at him.
Radithya came beside Kavish.
"Bhai pregnant mt ho."
Meanwhile Kavish kept a hand on his left chest, calming his racing heart.
[Bro, don't get pregnant]
They all left Naina's house and walked down the street Naina, Saira and Yudistia held each other's hands while Boys were walking behind them chattering and laughing. Kavish was getting jealous of Saira who was holding Naina's hands
"Iska haath meine kyu nahi padka?!", Kavish thought to himself.
[Why haven't I held her hands?!]
After a half an hour they reached the cafe, the girls sat together and so did the boys.
The group enters the café after a long walk. The girls settle on one side, and the boys on the other. The air is thick with unspoken rivalries and underlying friendships.
"Ugh, Dhruv, tu abhi bhi yahan hai? I thought bad vibes ko entrance pe hi chodna padta hai." Yudistia looked at the menu.
"Oh, Yudistia, agar tere jaise log café me allowed hai, toh mujhe bhi yahan hone ka pura haq hai." Dhruv smirks.
[Ugh, Dhruv, are you still here? I thought bad vibes had to be left at the entrance itself.
Oh, Yudistia, if people like you are allowed in the cafe, then I too have every right to be here]
"Can we just order without you two fighting?" Saira rolled her eyes.
"Saira, mujhe laga tum sirf mujhe ignore karti ho, par yeh log bhi tumhe irritate kar rahe hain?" Aakarsh grinned.
"Haan, Aakarsh, bas tumhari kami thi café experience spoil karne ke liye." Saira said sarcastically.
[Saira, I thought you just ignored me, but these people are also irritating you?
Yes, Aakarsh, it was just your fault to spoil the cafe experience]
"Yeh dono kabhi sudhrenge nahi." Kavish leaned towards Naina.
"Sudhrene ke liye pehle bigadna padta hai, yeh toh already beyond repair hain." Naina chuckled.
[These two will never improve to get it repaired it has to be damaged first, this is already beyond repair]
"Main bas keh raha hoon, yeh café shanti se coffee peene ke liye hai, WWE ring nahi." Radithya was sipping his coffee...
"Radithya, tum itne neutral kyun ho? Koi side le lo na!" Yudistia said mockingly
"Main bas chahta hoon ki mera macha peacefully arrive kare." Radithya shrugs.
[I am just saying, this cafe is for drinking coffee peacefully, not a WWE ring
Radithya, why are you so neutral? Take a side
I just want my macha to arrive peacefully]
"Haan Radithya, waise bhi Yudistia ki side lena matlab self-respect ko dustbin me daalna." Dhruv said mockingly.
"Excuse me?!" Yudistia gasps.
[Yes Radithya, anyway taking Yudistia's side means throwing self-respect in the dustbin]
"Uff! Phirse shuru!" Saira was frustrated.
"Waise Saira, tumhe bhi waise hi irritate karne ka mann ho raha hai jaise Dhruv Yudistia ko kar raha hai." Aakarsh grinned.
"Oh please, Aakarsh, mere paas aur bhi important kaam hain—jaise walls ko paint dry hote dekhna." Saira gave a fake smile.
[Ugh! Begin again
By the way Saira, I feel like irritating you too just like Dhruv is doing to Yudistia.,
Oh please, Aakarsh, I have other important things to do too—like watching the paint on the walls dry]
"5-minute aur phir koi yahan coffee ki jagah ek dusre pe tables phek raha hoga." Kavish whispered to Naina.
"Haan, café se nikalne se pehle hume popcorn order kar lena chahiye!" Naina laughs.
"Mera macha bhi aane do pehle, phir tum log jo chahe karo." Radithya sighs.
[5 minutes and then someone here at the coffee shop will be passing tables to each other
Yes, we should order popcorn before leaving the cafe!
Let my macha come first, then you guys do whatever you want]
The bickering continues while Radithya sips his coffee in blissful ignorance, and Naina and Kavish enjoy the entertainment.
After spending a couple of hours at the café, filled with bickering, sarcastic jabs, and stolen fries, the group finally decides to leave. The sun is setting, and they walk through the streets, still chatting and laughing—well, mostly.
"Ugh, finally, fresh air! Café ke andar toh bas Dhruv ke toxic vibes thi." Yudistia stretched out her arms.
"Oh please, Yudistia, mere vibes se zyada toxic toh tere coffee ka taste tha. Kis angle se hazam hoti hai tujhe?" Dhruv said mockingly.
[Ugh, finally, fresh air! Inside the cafe there were only Dhruv's toxic vibes
Oh please, Yudistia, your coffee tasted more toxic than my vibes. How do you digest it?]
"Honestly, tum dono ka argument sunte-sunte mujhe acidity hone lagi hai." Radithya calmly sipped his coffee.
"Radithya, tum bechara stuck ho gaye ho Switzerland ki tarah—bilkul neutral!" Naina laughs.
"Haan, aur hum sab different countries ki tarah ek doosre pe attacks kar rahe hain." Kavish nods.
[Honestly, I started getting acidity after listening to your arguments.
Radithya, you are stuck, poor thing, just like in Switzerland - totally neutral
Yes, and we are all attacking each other like different countries]
"Bas Aakarsh ke jokes Switzerland jaane layak nahi hain." Saira rolled eyes
"Oh, madam sarcasm ki murti, tumhe toh mere jokes ke Oscars milne chahiye!" Aakarsh mocked in offense
"Agar tumhari sense of humor bhi exist karti, toh shayad sochti." Saira smiled mockingly.
[Aakarsh's jokes are not worth going to Switzerland.
Oh, madam statue of sarcasm, you should get Oscars for my jokes!
If your sense of humor also existed, I would have probably thought]
"5-minute aur aur yeh dono ek doosre ko gutter me gira denge." Kavish said to Naina
"Don't underestimate them, Kavish, Aakarsh aur Saira ke arguments ka endgame pura ek Bollywood movie ka climax ho sakta hai." Naina laughed.
[5 minutes more and both of them will throw the other person into the gutter.
Don't underestimate them, the endgame of Kavish, Aakarsh and Saira's arguments can be the climax of a complete Bollywood movie]
"Bollywood se yaad aaya, Yudistia, agar tum koi villain hoti, toh tumhara naam kya hota?" Dhruv smirks
"Hmm... "Yudistia the Unstoppable" kaise lag raha hai?" Yudistia fakely thinks
"Unstoppable toh nahi, par "Yudistia the Annoying" perfect fit hai!" Dhruv laughs
"Dhruv, agar main annoying hoon, toh tum "Dhruv the Disaster" ho!" Yudistia gasps
[Speaking of Bollywood, Yudistia? If you were a villain, what would your name be?
Hmm... how are you looking at "Yudistia the Unstoppable"?"
It is not unstoppable, but "Yudistia the Annoying" is a perfect fit
Dhruv, if I am annoying, then you are "Dhruv the Disaster"!]
"Phir shuru!" Radithya groaned
"Bro, hum log ek aise group me hain jisme har dusre second fight hoti hai. Yeh bhi ek talent hai." Aakarsh said to Radithya
"Bro, Naina aur main is group ke jedin sane log hain." Kavish laughs
"Haan, hum hi toh harmony maintain kar rahe hain!" Naina said proudly
[Again!"
"Bro, we are in a group in which there is a fight every second. This is also a talent."
"Bro, Naina and I should know the leaders of this group
"Yes, we are the ones who are maintaining harmony!"]
"Haan, bas tum dono ek din bored hoke apni bhi ek Cold War start mat kar dena." Saira smirked
"Never!" Naina & Kavish shocked fakely
"Dekho bhai, mujhe bas ghar pahunchna hai bina kisi naye dushmani ke." Radithya yawns
[Yes, just don't get bored one day and start a cold war of your own.
Never!
Look bhai, I just want to reach home without any new enemy]
"Radithya, kal se hum tumhe therapist ke naam se bulayega." Aakarsh grinned.
"Jo marzi bulao, bas mujhe coffee time pe mil jaye." Radithya shrugs.
[Radithya, from tomorrow I will call you by the name of therapist.
Call whatever you want, i just want my coffee in time]
As the sun fully sets, the group splits at a crossing, still laughing, bickering, and making plans to repeat this chaotic yet fun-filled day again.
The group reaches the crossing where they have to split up to go to their respective houses. But, obviously, a simple 'bye' is too mainstream for this squad.
"Finally, I get to go home and detox from Dhruv's presence." Yudistia sighs dramatically.
"Same. Mera brain cells aaj extra damage ho gaya tujhe sunke. Shayad kal brain transplant karwana padega." Dhruv mocked in a serious tone.
["Finally, I get to go home and detox from Dhruv's presence."
"Same. My brain cells have suffered extra damage today, you must listen. Maybe I will have to get a brain transplant tomorrow"]
"Tum dono ek din ek dusre ko secretly miss karne wale ho, mark my words" Saira rolled her eyes.
"Haan, aur phir 'from enemies to lovers' wali ek full netflix series banegi" Aakarsh grinned.
"DISGUSTING!!" Yudistia and Dhruv said simultaneously.
[You both are going to miss each other secretly one day, mark my words
Yes, and then a full Netflix series like 'from enemies to lovers' will be made]
"This was the most synchronized thing tum dono ne kabhi kiya hai" Kavish said while laughing.
"Unknowingly ye log ek solid duo ban rahe hai" Naina smirked.
"And here we observe the classic case of two natural enemies, who secretly thrive on each other's insults.." Radithya pretends to be a documentary narrator.
"Meine ambulance already book kar di hai" Dhruv smirks.
["This was the most synchronized thing you both have ever done"
"Unknowingly these guys are making a solid duo"
"And here we observe the classic case of two natural enemies who secretly thrive on each other's insults"
"I have already booked the ambulance"]
They reach another turn, and now it's time for Saira and Aakarsh to part ways.
"Saira, mujhe tumse alvida kehna kitna mushkil lag raha hai" Aakarsh mocked emotionally.
Saira smiled fakely "haan, bilkul waise hi jaise macchar ko mosquito repellent so alvida kehna mushkil lagta hai"
Aakarsh grinned. "Yeh kya baat hui? Matlab tu mujhe mosquito repellent keh rahi hai?"
Saira smirked. "Nahi, mein bol rahi hoon ki tu macchar hai."
Radithya laughed "i don't think Aakarsh excepted that"
[Saira, I am finding it so difficult to say goodbye to you" "yes, just like mosquito repellent, so I am finding it difficult to say goodbye to you
What is this? Means you are calling me mosquito repellent?"
"No, I am saying that you are a mosquito."
"I don't think Aakarsh excepted that"]
Naina nods. "Saira on savage mode"
"Ye dukh kahe khatam nahi hota" Aakarsh said dramatically
Kavish laughed "chal ab ja, warna saira sach mein bug spray nikaal degi"
["Why this pain never ends"
"Now let's go, otherwise the whole thing will really bring out the bug spray"]
Finally, the last stretch is left, where Naina and Kavish have to say goodbye.
Kavish grinned "Tujhse milke hamesha lagta hai ki duniya me abhi bhi sane log bache hain."
Naina smiled "Haan, warna is gang ke rest of the members dekh ke toh lagta hai ki humanity ka future dark hai."
["Meeting you I always feel that there are still some sane people left in this world."
"Yes, otherwise looking at the rest of the members of this gang I feel that the future of humanity is dark."]
Radithya raised his hand "Main neutral hoon, mujhe count mat karo!"
Naina teased "Haan Radithya, tu toh is group ka UN hai, bas dekh raha hai sabko ladte hue."
[I am neutral, don't count me!"
Naina teased "Yes Radithya, you are the UN of this group, you are just watching everyone fighting."]
Radithya smirks "Aur bas silently judge kar raha hoon."
Dhruv bowed mockingly "Great Observer, humein aashirwad do."
Radithya raised an imaginary scepter "Tum sab pe meri shanti ki blessing ho... jo obviously kaam nahi karegi."
["And I am just silently judging."
"Great Observer, bless us."
"You all have my blessings for peace... which obviously doesn't work"]
Aakarsh laughs "Bro, even God bhi in dono ki ladai nahi rok sakta."
Yudistia yawns "Okay, mujhe ghar jaake normal logon ke saath time spend karna hai, so BYE."
Dhruv gasps mockingly "Tere ghar me normal log kaun hai?!"
Yudistia grinned "Tere alawa sab."
["Bro, even God cannot stop the fight between these two."
"Okay, I want to go home and spend time with normal people, so BYE."
"Who are the normal people in your house?]
With one last round of sarcastic comments and laughter, the group finally parted ways, knowing very well that they'll repeat the same chaos again tomorrow.
