Chapter 15

"Why did you plan this outing if you didn't even think about where will we be going?" Prathap asked her frowning as right now she is sitting in the back seat while still thinking about where to go.

"I was thinking more about meeting you guys and not about how to spend the time. Do you both have any idea?" She asked leaning forward to be closer to us.

"And you can call your friend too. Vikranth is busy but she can join us right." She added looking at me and I stared at her in surprise.

Wasn't she the one to act like Kanika and I were the whose presence wouldn't matter and these three are the only important ones? Why is she suddenly fine about Kanika joining us?

I was already surprised that she invited me and I don't want to spend time with her too with my present mindset but I don't think I will be fine after letting these two spend time alone even as friends. And it is better to have a peaceful mind at least in the area of jealousy.

"It's okay! She must be busy too." I mumbled and she frowned hearing that.

"Okay!" she mumbled before glancing at Prathap who is sighing at his seat.

"Did you decide?" she asked and he frowned at her.

"What should I decide? We both will be fine with anything." He replied glancing at me and I nodded accepting that.

"Fine! Let's go to the water park." She said smiling and he immediately shook his head.

"There will be too many people and she shouldn't be at those places. Think of someplace where there will be not many people." He said rejecting the idea and I smiled hearing that.

"Then movie?" she asked giving him a weird look after hearing those words.

"He doesn't like watching movies much." I pointed out and she turned to give me a weird look.

"If you both know so much about what the other person wants then just decide on something together." Saying that she leaned back with an irritated look.

"Okay! Don't get annoyed like that. Let's go to some park." He said smiling at her and tried to pacify her a bit.

"I am fine with it." I added and he smiled looking at me.

"Park? What will we do there?" she asked frowning but he called someone and after sometime when he still didn't start driving, I turned to stare at him.

"I asked Deepak to get some food items packed. Let's have a small picnic." He explained and turned to stare at her.

"You always liked going on picnics when we were kids, right?" he asked smiling at her and she sighed slowly nodded.

"When I was a kid and when we three were together." She whispered and I stared at her as there was a pained look that passed for a second through her eyes before it completely disappeared.

"Is it okay if I join then?" I asked and she turned with a smile before nodding.

"Of course! I met a few celebrities for my work but I never got to know anyone personally." She replied smiling and I finally smiled at her.

Maybe I was being too biased and thought everything she did as wrong because of Kanika and Prathap. Maybe I will move on from this thinking and even like her.

As there must be a reason for Prathap to fall for her and a reason for these three to be friends for more than two decades right.

After getting the food, Prathap started driving and after nearly two hours he stopped near a park because of the huge traffic and we all got down.
