Hey my cute lil cherries 🍒

Here is chap 9

Hope you enjoy...

The three girls walked toward them.

Isha observed Yuvraj’s expressions, while he instantly looked away, blinking himself out of his bubble.

"Kya kar raha hai Yuv, Ise tad raha tu? Is tikhi chatni ko?" he muttered to himself, shaking his head vigorously to wash away the unwanted thoughts.

"Oye! Ghur kyu rahe the muje?" Isha folded her arms across her chest, one eyebrow raised.

"Me? Aur tumhe ghur raha?" He pointed at himself in disbelief. "Oh come on, you are not even my type, girl," he added with a scoff.

"Is se sabit ho gya kitni kharab choice hogi tumhari," Isha commented, rolling her eyes.

"Ahaha, aayi badi tikhi chatni kahiki. Aur ye batao ki tumne mujse twining kyu ki? Logo ko galt rumours dena chahti ho?" he added teasingly, fully aware that he was pushing her buttons.

"Hatt! Me kyu bhala esa karungi? Sidha sidha bolo na ki tum chahte ho ki log kuch ulta samj le," she retorted with a pinch of irritation.

"Ewww, hell nahhh!" He scrunched up his nose in disgust.

"Sirfira kahika."

"Tikhi chatni kahiki."

Before they could start their rapid-fire round of cursing each other, Kiara interrupted with a frustrated, "shhhhhhh."

"Kya yaar tum dono bhi. Aaj to shant raho kam se kam," Kiara complained.

"Bilkul sahi keh rahi hai devi ji," Ayaan chimed in, nodding along.

"Heinnn?" Kiara stared at him in utter confusion.

"Arey kal tumne hi to bola tha na ki devi bolo muje aur pooja karo meri, to ab se aap meri devi aur me apka bhagt," Ayaan replied with a dreamy yet sincere look on his face.

Kiara was completely taken aback. She had blurted that out in irritation without thinking and hadn’t expected him to take it seriously.

"Pagal ho kya!? Esa kon karta hai. Mene ese hi bol diya tha bs," she said in disbelief.

"Arey isme konsi badi baat hai. Aap hamari devi hi to hai," Ayaan replied with a genuine smile,not a smirk or teasing grin, but a sincere one.

The group fell completely still, as if his words carried unexpected weight.

"Whoaaaaa! Approved my me," Tanu was the first to break the silence. "I approve you as my jiju," she added, clapping enthusiastically.

"Kyaa?! Kya bol rahe ho di?" Kiara exclaimed in deadpan disbelief.

"Thank you bhabhi ji," Ayaan replied, his eyes gleaming with pride and a sly smile.

"Bhabhiji???" Isha, Yuvraj, Avinash, and even Kiara asked in bewilderment.

"Arey vo Avinash ji mere hone wale pati hue na to me Ayaan ki hone wali bhabhi. Simple," Tanu replied with a shrug, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

That did it. Avinash’s ears heated up in a fraction of seconds, while the others struggled to hold in their laughter.

"M-m..muje vo bhula raha..m-me jata hu," Avinash blurted impulsively before practically flying away.

The rest doubled over laughing.

"Yaar ye Avi jo sharma ke bhagta hai na," Yuvraj remarked playfully.

"Ek dam lal ho jata hai," Ayaan added.

"Jo bhi ho maza to ata hai," Kiara said between giggles.

"Imagine agr use pata chala ki Tanu di use akele me chikna bulati hai. Bhai jo reaction hoga," Isha chimed in, clutching her stomach.

"Kya? Chikna!?" Ayaan asked in disbelief as Isha nodded.

"Seriously Tanu di?" Yuvraj turned to her. Tanu only shrugged in response.

A fresh wave of laughter filled the air.

The place buzzed with loud music, laughter, and nonstop chatter, making the atmosphere electric. Students, dressed in elegance, enjoyed each other’s company.

Avinash, Ayaan, and Yuvraj stood across the garden with their classmates, deep in their own boy talk.

As usual, Isha, Kiara, and Tanu stood together, chatting animatedly and sharing easy laughter. Their conversation flowed effortlessly, filled with inside jokes and playful teasing, while the music and lights around them added to the cheerful mood. Lost in the moment, the trio enjoyed the party to the fullest, their smiles reflecting comfort, friendship, and pure enjoyment.

"Kiara, Isha, me apne classmates ke pass Jake aati hu thodi der. Tum bhi apni friends se mil lo," Tanu suggested, walking away.

Isha and Kiara also wandered off toward their friends, exchanging compliments with others along the way.

The atmosphere was light and cozy. Fairy lights twinkled, draped over nearby trees, giving the place perfect party vibes.

Tanu chatted with her friends when her phone rang, cutting through the music. She checked the screen and stepped aside.

"Hello, yeah...ha parcel aap ghar pe de dijiye....haa." She ended the call and turned back ,only to find someone blocking her path.

Sumit, her classmate, stood there. A faint, knowing smirk played on his lips,one that carried something unsettling beneath it.

"Hello Miss Hottie," he commented casually.

"Hm hello," Tanu replied blandly, already preparing to walk past him. But he extended his hand, blocking her way.

"Kaha jaa rahi hai itni jaldi. Me specially apke liye itna saj ke aaya hu , dekho."

"Haha, acha hai. Ab jane do," Tanu tried to brush him off, attempting to move aside.

"Ese kese? Kaha jaenge aap, ham hai na apke liye yaha," he stepped an inch closer.

"Dekho faltu ka timepass mat karo muje apne friends ke pass jana hai." She stepped back, clearly uncomfortable now.

"Areyy choddo unko. Me keh raha tha ki apki dress....kafi achi lag rhi hai," he said, his gaze lingering far too long on her legs.

From across the garden, Avinash had been observing the interaction. The tension on Tanu’s face made it clear she was uncomfortable. He started walking toward them.

He was about to step in when—

"Abe ja na chutiye,kyu dimaag ka bhajiya tal rha hai. Ek repta padega na dharti chatate firega. Sharam nahi aati kisi ladki do ese uncomfortable karwate hue. Chiii. Abhi ek laga deti jor ki per me kyu apne hath kharab karu."

Before Sumit could react, another voice snapped from the side—

"Iski maa.... nahi nahi iske bhai ki ankh. Esa marungi na uble hue aalu ki shakal ke, dusri bar kisi ki tarah aankh bhi nhi uthaega. Aurrr di nhi karegi hath kharab me to karungi kyuki mere pass dettol hai. So...ye le"

SLAM!

The slap echoed sharply in his ears, even though the music drowned it out for everyone else.

"Chalo di. Now I'll need to wash my hands," Isha said, walking away with Tanu and Kiara.

The boy stood frozen, stunned.

A moment later, he turned and found Avinash standing there with folded arms.

"Kyu be, jyada bhoot chada hai ladkiyon ke dresses dekhne ka? Me dhikau?"

The boy shook his head and bolted.

Avinash exhaled heavily before heading back to his friends.

"Are ye Avi ka muh kyu bna hua hai" Ayaan muttered.

"Arey oye! Kya hua?" Yuvraj asked.

"Are vo abhi ek ladka Tanu ji ko ched raha tha," Avinash replied through clenched teeth.

"Kyaaa!? Kon tha vo? Ab kaha hai? Dant tode ki nhi?" Ayaan and Yuvraj showered him with questions.

"Arey pit gya hai vo already."

"Tune Pita? Sach me?" Yuvraj raised his brows. "Tu machhar bhi mar de badi baat hai," Ayaan added.

"Me mar deta per usne pehle hi satakk thappad kha li thi, lagbhag jabda nikl gya tha isliye mene sirf dara ke bhaga diya."

"Kisne mara?" Yuvraj asked.

"Jisne tuje mara usne."

"Satakk repta mara hai kya batau."Avinash replied with a satisfied smile, though his jaw was still clenched at the memory of that man near Tanu.

"Fir to pakka jor se pada hoga usko." Ayaan chimed, laughing.

"Ye tikhi chatni sabko marte hi firti hai Kya..." Yuvraj muttered. "Us thappad ka badla kese lu...."

Just then, the host announced,

"Heyy ladies and gentlemen. Hope you all are enjoying the party and if you are not, then you are going to enjoy this." He gestured toward the decorated stage. "Dance timeeeee!"

The reaction was instant and lively. A ripple of excitement passed through the crowd,faces lit up, smiles broke out, and a few people exchanged thrilled looks. Some clapped without thinking, while others nudged their friends, already imagining the music and moves.

"But," the host continued, "it's not a normal dance session. We gonna have......a couple dance."

The wave of excitement swept through the students once again.

"Ohhhh, it's going to be funn," Isha burst out with excitement.

"Yaar me nahi karungi," Kiara said with a pout.

"Kyuu?" Tanu asked.

"Arey meko uncomfortable lagta hai. Ese hi kisi bhi ladke ke sath," Kiara shook her head.

"Arey yaar maza ayega," Isha tried to convince her, but Kiara had already made up her mind.

"Thik hai teri marji. Me to chali apne chikne ke pass," Tanu shrugged before walking toward Avinash, who was scrolling through his phone, clearly trying to stay invisible.

"Chik- i-i mean Avinash ji hello."

A faint flush crept up his cheeks, spreading quickly. His ears turned pink as he instinctively looked away, a shy smile tugging at his lips.

"H-hello," he waved back.

"Umm, will you dance with me?"

Before he could respond, he noticed another boy approaching Tanu.

"Yeah sure," he answered quickly.

"Thank you."

Tanu’s face lit up like a bulb.

The atmosphere shifted,subtly electric yet sweet, filled with shy excitement and quiet confidence.

On the other hand, Yuvraj was still thinking about how to take revenge when an idea popped into his mind. He glanced toward Isha, who stood beside Kiara, chatting about something.

He walked toward her with effortless ease, like a predator approaching its prey.

He stopped in front of her for a moment before bowing like a gentleman.

Isha stared at him with wide eyes and utter confusion.

"ye sirfira insaan ab kya kar raha" she thought.

"Miss Isha Chauhan, may I have your precious time and have this dance?"
