(So what? That’s good , I didn’t even ask you anything.)
They walked to his car, and Ishaan opened the passenger seat door for her before getting into the driver’s seat. Shivangi set the location on the GPS.
"She doesn’t look like a married woman and mother of two kids to me," Shivangi grumbled after two minutes of silence, making Ishaan burst into laughter.
"Ishaannn," Shivangi said in a sulking tone, watching him laugh.
"Okay, sorry, sorry. I know she doesn’t look like one but believe me, she is. I met her for the first time through her husband only. She’s almost 7–8 years older than me, Shivangi," Ishaan said with a smirk, clearly enjoying her jealousy.
"She’s that much older than us. I talked to her very rudely," Shivangi said regretfully with a pout.
"It’s okay, Shivangi. I know she won’t mind. Next time you come to the office, just talk to her politely. Nothing to worry about," Ishaan said, reassuring her.
"By the way , you have a beautiful office," Shivangi said, trying to change the topic.
"Thank you. Ishita played a major role in designing it," Ishaan said proudly with a smile.
"Why doesn’t Ishita bhabhi work in your office?" Shivangi asked curiously, her head tilted in confusion.
"She’s from an interior design background , and I’m from tech. She wasn’t interested in tech at all, so she chose designing as her career and then joined Nayak Co.," Ishaan explained warmly.
"By the way , why do you all call Ishita 'bhabhi'? Like, she’s the youngest among all of us, if I’m not wrong?" Ishaan asked curiously, finally voicing a thought that had stayed with him for long.
"Because Rakshit bhai saa is eldest , so that makes Ishita bhabhi our ultimate bhabhi," Shivangi said playfully, making him chuckle.
"By the way, what’s your age?" Ishaan asked casually, leaning back slightly.
"25 , and yours?" Shivangi asked back, equally casually.
"28," Ishaan said simply.
"Oh , you and Akash bhai saa are of the same age then. He’s also 28," Shivangi said thoughtfully as the realization struck her.
"He’s just 10 days older than me , his birthday is 4th April and mine is 14th April," Ishaan added with pride, stunning her.
"Wow , true best friends’ thing," Shivangi said, laughing just as his phone rang.
Ishaan glanced at the car’s Bluetooth screen as the call came in. The name "Ishu 🫂🧿" flashed, making him chuckle softly.
"Bhaiiiiiii," came Ishita’s voice, loud and dramatically & cheerfully.
(Brotherrrr)
"Kya chahiye tujhe ab?" Ishaan asked knowingly with a sarcastic tone, already expecting a favor.
(What do you want now?)
"You wounded me, bhai , aapko kya lagta hai ki main sirf aapko kaam ke liye phone karti hoon?" Ishita said in a fake hurt tone.
(do you think I only called you for work?)
"Mujhe lagta nahi hai , mujhe pata hai tune kaam ke liye phone kiya hai. Isliye jaldi se bol, kya kaam hai." Ishaan said playfully while rolling his eyes.
(I don’t think so , I know you've called for work. So just quickly say what you want.)
"Meri dress banne ke liye di thi maine , woh showroom aapke office ke paas hi hai. Meri dress le aana, please." Ishita said sweetly with a sheepish smile he could hear in her voice.
