Chapter 164 - 163. Hey munchkin...

The next noon, the sun was scorching on top of their head as they stood in the runway. Bhavna was sitting over one of her suitcases while Shreya was tapping away on her phones as always.

Bhavna was wearing a sleeveless floral dress that flared up waist down. And Shreya was wearing jean short and a skimpy t-shirt and big blue sunglasses. Sweat was dripping down her forehead but she was least bothered while Bhavna kept complaining how hot it was here every two minutes.

But her complaints went in one ear and came out of the other ears of Shreya.

After a while, seeing as her complaints are being unheard, Bhavna huffed and puffed and shut her mouth. But that only lasted for anything two minutes, before she started talking again.

"Wear your hat! You bought it the other day!" Shreya reminded her in the passing when her complaints started to become irritating.

Bhavna's eyes instantly brightened as she opened her suitcase and started rummaging through it right there on the high way and found the hat. She wore the had and showed off proudly, "See"

"Looks good," Shreya said without even looking up from her phone.

Just when Bhavna was preparing to complain all over again, few cars came to a standstill a few feet away from them

Akash, Madhu, Pritham, Zeenath, Ayush, Nakul, and Srinivas came out of them one after the other. She asked Hank to stay behind and look after Anand and John and so instead, she had Ayush and Nakul accompany them.

Bhavna instantly flew out of her place and went to chat with everyone. She was almost driven crazy with Shreya's silence. She did not even know how she had endured it for so long.

Bhavna was a social butterfly. So it was not easy for her to shut up. And she was especially interested in Madhu for obvious reasons of course. She also made friends of Ayush, Nakul, and Srinivas pretty much instantly. Everyone else, she needn't worry about since she had known them from forever. And since she was the youngest and also since Shreya was soft on her, everyone treated her as a younger sister. But even without that, her personality was way too bright for anyone to not like.

The only person who hadn't said much in the group was actually Srinivas… but that is to be expected of him.

And a few minutes later, another car came and pulled over. When Bhavna saw Zack, her eyes lit up instantly. She abandoned everyone else and sprinted towards Zack. And she straight up flew into his arms will a big ass grin almost toppling him.

He did not even know what hit him and it took everything in him to just stay on his feet. But when he felt the all so familiar scent, his lips switched automatically.

After joining with Shreya, his very first assignment was actually Bhavna. She was still at school back then. The last 6 months of school to be exact. And with her personality, it did not take long before he was wrapped completely around her little fingers. But then, once the school was over, she went abroad for college. But they still kept in touch and pretty close. Zack was the one to whom Bhavna would enquire about Shreya's well being all these while. So whatever Zack knew, Bhavna knew.

"Hey, munchkin. How have you been??" Zack asked wrapping his arms around her.

"Don't call me that. Look I am taller now. And more mature too…" Bhavna complained but childishly stood on her toes and making herself look taller which just made both her statements redundant in itself without Zack ever having to defend himself. And her puffing cheeks and pouting lips just made it so much worse.

"God! I missed your antics," Zack said with a goofy grin ruffling her head completely destroying her perfectly made hair.

If Shreya pounding on his doors and giving him a job had given him a chance in life, this little girl in front of him… she lit up his whole world like a damn Christmas tree without really putting much effort into it. She sparkled like a sun in the middle of the night in his dark life.

"ZACK!!" Bhavna complained loudly trying to put back her hair in order. But just as she finished doing her hairs, Zack extended his big palms and ruffled in all over again.

But before Bhavna could complain again, Shreya came from behind her and asked, "Where is your plus one??"

"Okay, it was not a plus one per se. But anyway, she didn't make it." Zack answered shrugging his shoulders. When Bhavna first proposed a vacation, he thought he would bring Meera along. He thought maybe she will get to know Shreya and Bhavna and maybe she will patch up with them or something. After all, they are still family. But he failed to realize that not only Meera's family but even she holds a grudge against Shreya.

"It's a she??? Do you have a girlfriend??" Bhavna asked excited completely missing the point.

Zack extended his hand and twisted on her ears lightly. It was actually only for namesake, it wouldn't hurt. But Bhavna being the overdramatic person she was, she wailed, ���Ouch ouch… Zack it hurts. It hurts. It hurts." But as soon as Zack left ears, she gave him a cheeky smile and asked, "If it's not a girlfriend… then is it possible you got yourself a wife??"

Zack let out an exasperated sigh and slightly swatted behind her head and said, "Pull your mind out of the gutter. She is just a… okay, I don't know what the hell she is. But I just thought you guys can make friends with her if I brought her here. But then it didn't happen."

"Who is it??" Bhavna asked curiously.

"It's your cousin… Meera…" Zack said straight off the bat surprising Bhavna.

Bhavna blinked for a whole minute not understanding whom he was referring to. But then when she realized who he was talking about, her face turned ugly instantly.

As one can guess, Bhavna is just as much overprotective of Shreya as Shreya was with Bhavna. SO her resentment and animosity with Ram and his whole family are quite excessive. More so than that of Shreya herself. Whenever she saw any of the members, she will flare up like a lioness protecting its cub immediately. Even though, Bhavna had not met up with Meera on many occasions before nor had she blared at fangs at Meera just yet… just the fact that she was Ram's daughter discredited Meera in her own books.

And of course, Meera had never seen her fierceness since Meera was studying abroad all this while.

"Good thing you did not bring her. I would have probably left her with bruises… Nobody from that family is going to be welcome in my vacations. After all, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The nerve fo that family!! They wanted to swallow Shreya's company. How did you even get to know someone like that??" Bhavna sneered gritting her teeth. Barring her teeth… she looked exactly like a wild cat.

"Don't talk ill on others back and you haven't even met her. Don't you think you are being narrow-minded and petty by judging a person from who her parents are…?? And moreover, she grew up far away from them…" Zack said swatting on her head.

Bhavna did not soften her stance. She did not talk back either but still rolled her eyes and said skeptically, "As if!!!"

"Okay, guys. You can talk later. Now board the plane." Shreya bellowed.

Bhavna instantly forgot about everything else and boarded the plane. It was one of the private jets owned by the company. Normally, Shreya rarely uses it. It was one of the things her dad had bought. But Shreya being the way she was, she did not like the atmosphere. For her, it screamed loneliness.

Even now, she would have taken passenger flight and dragged every single person with her but then since the place they were going to was a private island… there were no commercial flights there for obvious reasons. SO she decided to take the private jet. And moreover, Bhavna actually adored this jet.

It was one of her favorites. And because of it, Adithya had taken Bhavna in it for several of his business trips. She will shamelessly curry flavor Adithya and tag alone bunking her schools. And so for Bhavna… it is not only her favorite flight now, but this jet also represents a lot of memories too.

Shreya as always found a corner for herself. And since she couldn't exactly work here, she put on an eye mask and fell fast asleep. While Bhavna on the other hand, gather everyone around her and talked animatedly about her time abroad. Her voice filled every last corner of the flight and resonated.

Time flew by with laughter and glee.
