CHAPTER 4

Listen to:

"Yeh kya baat hai, aaj ki chaandni mein

Ke hum kho gaye, pyaar ki raagini mein

Yeh baahon mein baahen

Yeh bahaki nigaahen

Lo aane laga zindagi ka maza"

AVAYAANS POV

I woke up early in the Morning slowly the shadows of the leaves of tree casting on the ground and birds chirping around.

And i am not the one to admit easily but the most beautiful all , is in my arms.

she is still peacefully sleeping in my arms from the last night, her facial expression like she have just played with snow and have made snowman from it.

She stirred in her sleep and slowly opened her eyes, retarding herself from my arms.

she yawned loudly, "did you sleep well princess?", i found her rolling her eyes and nodding her head at my statement.

She looked around. she asked, her expression curious, "do you know, lst night i heard a loud roar but then suddenly, i heard a growl near me and then everything went quie-".

I stood up trying to ignore her question.

she too stood up sulking behind me making me smile a bit. Yes, a bit only.

"You always do that!!", she whined.

"what", i exclaimed.

"You ignore my questions like they are useless"

"Because they are". She let out a noise of frustration and started walking ahead.

"rude koala". What!?, did she just called me RUDE KOALA!?, "what did you just said? Huh?", i said following her behind.

"RUDEEE KOALAAA", with that she stared running while laughing.

Gosh this girl. "wait come here you little minx!", i shouted running behind her.

After running behind her for few minutes, we stopped near a large rock. She sat on i trying to catch her breath, still laughing.

I am telling you this is the best sound i have ever heard in my whole life, her laugh.

She looked at me after stopping laughing, "i am sorry, if you felt bad". Bad? I was enjoying more then i should.

I sat beside her and said, "no its ohk....but don't get mad when i too give you a weird name".

"don't! You will surely give a bad name". She exclaimed.

"what if you like it?"

"can i expect it from you?"

"maybe...."

She nodded and looked in the sky, "i miss my family" she said, "i miss them so much, my Mumma and papa. and my dog , zoowi".

I looked at her seeing the spark litenining up in her eyes while talking about her family, "you miss your family, really?".

She nodded looking at me, "yess. What so surprising in it ? Everyone do miss thier family."

I scoffed, "not everyone". She scrunched her eyebrows and said almost in a protesting tone, "why? Dont tell me you never miss your family".

I looked a her and replied after a pause, " leave it, btw you have a dog?".

She brimmed happily folding her legs sitting straight, "yessss! His name zoowi, he is very very mischievous, he is a real troublemaker in my house, of course after me", flipped her hair dramatically and continued, "he messes up house, and he loves to play with cute fluffy toys, he loves playing with me too. He-".

"stop!"

"he have 144 IQ"

"what the heck you are saying stop", i blurted out because of her nonsense, a dog having 144 IQ for real?.

She pouted and said whining, "yes he have i know he is MY dog, why are jealous if he is more intelligent then!".

I swear, yes i swear, i fell from where we were sitting. Goddammit! This girl.

"are you insane!? You are comparing my IQ with a KUTTA!?" (dog), i said standing up while rubbing my butt.

"ZOOWI!!"

"yeah yeah whatever, i am more intelligent then your zoowi. And more than you too".

I looked at her as she also stood up on ground. "i am hungry", she can never be serious.

"we should have taken some apples from that tree but we marched away from there because of you", she protested that pout not leaving her face, "i have a full right to get hungry its normal".

"its normal but according to the situation in which we are in, you should have patience".

"aren't you hungry"

And my stomach growled. Worst timing. She looked a me clearly trying to supress her laugh and turned away from her embarrassed.

AVANYA'S POV

God he is so cute, now he not even able to hold a eye contact with me while we are walking in search of something to eat. "you dont have to be embarassed avayaan , everyone gets hungry"

he just nodded and kept walking. "Man at least say something", I insisted.

He didn't said anything, I tried to lighten up the mood by saying, "you know i like man whose name start with A", it was not a good idea at all because he just rolled his eyes.

Mission failed.

Soon enough we found another apple tree, God is fair. And after eating and carrying few for further reasons.
