"Hello.... again." She smiled at the boy once she was standing in his room.
Aakash's eyes were still glued to the television on the wall in front of him.
"Stop peering at me and go away, I don't want you to bother me at all." He snapped without looking in her direction.
"I'm sorry but I'm indeed here to be your friend so my job is to bother you." She quickly apologised but he just kept ignoring her.
She dropped her bag on the rack near the door and slumped towards him.
She sat next to him without making any noise. Aakash slightly narrowed his eyes but didn't shove her away as she started watching cartoons with him.
Ambar laughed out loud when the bunny fell in the sewer.
She giggled more enjoying the cartoon show.
Ambar was always crazy for watching animated shows but her aunt never allowed her to watch them. She only got to watch them when her aunt wasn't around or either at Vashisht's place.
Aakash couldn't control his amazement seeing her laugh at the bunny's funny stunts and antics.
"Do you like it?" Aakash suddenly asked her.
"What?" She enquired.
"Bugs Bunny!" He replied pointing out.
"Yes but not more than Shinchan." She answered genuinely making his eyes go wide.
"You like Shinchan?" He asked her again and this time, she just nodded.
"I don't believe you. You're just trying to trick me.
My Chachu must have told you." He accused her.
"Okay then ask me any question about Shinchan." Ambar challenged him.
"Okay!"
"What is the name of Shinchan's pet dog?" He questioned her.
"Shiro! The white dog who doesn't get much food." She instantly answered while her eyes were still on the television.
"That was an easy one, I will ask you a tough one?"
"Go on." She was ready for another already.
"Who's the in-charge of rose group?" He smirked after dropping the question.
"Matsuzaka. She is a teacher in Shinchan's school who always fights with Yoshinaga, another teacher who's in-charge of Sunflower group where Shinchan belongs." Ambar replied blowing up his doubt as his mouth hung open in shock.
Indeed she wasn't lying.
"Now do you believe me that I really love Shinchan and I'm here to be your friend and nothing else." She turned towards him with a smile while he smiled too.
"What is your name?" He asked her.
"Ambar but you can call me Amy. What is your name?" She queried.
"Didn't my Chachu tell you?" He frowned. She bit her lip before flashing a smile.
"No, he didn't but he did tell me that I'm here to meet a new friend who happens to be really strong and also a very good boy." He grinned at her as she replied.
"I'm Aakash." He forwarded his hand.
"What! Really?" She asked him while shaking his small hand.
"What's so odd in my name?" He questioned her, confused by her reaction.
"What is the meaning of your name?" She asked him.
"It means sky. I know it." He proudly stated.
"Do you know what is the meaning of my name?" He shook his head in a no.
"It also means sky" She grinned.
"Really! It's so awesome. Our names are different but so kindred."She chuckled.
"I know." He nodded his head, grinning from ear to ear.
"So would you like to eat anything?"
"Yes! Chocolates." He demanded.
"Wait.... I have it in my bag." Ambar scurried to pick her bag and handed some of her favourite chocolates to him.
"Do you like Toblerone?" He asked her.
"Now don't tell me you like it too!" She was stunned when his smile got bigger.
"Yes I do." He laughed jumping on the bed.
"Oh God! We are so much a like." She joined him on the bed, jumping with him.
"I should stop or else I'll break your bed." She proclaimed with embarrassment.
"Don't worry it's strong enough just like me and actually it's fun to jump like this." He shrugged jumping more while she opened the wrapper of the chocolate and took a bite of it and he did the same thing too.
"Mmm." She moaned as the chocolate melted in her mouth.
"You want more?" She asked him once he was done eating his share.
"No. Mumma used to tell me that eating more of it can give me toothache." He said as he remembered what his mother used to say.
"Where is your Mumma?" Ambar asked him in curiosity.
"She's with God... He took her away." He replied with sadness reflecting from his eyes.
"Even I miss my mom and dad." She too had a gloomy face.
"Did God take them away as well?" Aakash looked at her.
"Yes. He did." She replied, blinking down at him.
"My Dadda didn't go. He's just.... sleeping." Aakash voiced out while Ambar stared at him weirdly.
"What?"
"Yes, He's sleeping. Chachu told me that he's ex... exhaust... exhausted and wants to rest until all of it vanishes. Then only he'll get up." Aakash added with the difficulty in pronouncing the word. Ambar chortled hard after hearing him.
"Stop laughing at me. It's hard to say." He whined.
"No... It is just that you're so innocent and cute." She pulled his cheeks.
"Even you are cute... Just like a teddy bear." He imitated her by pulling her cheeks as well.
"So what do you want to do?" She asked him.
"Colouring, do you like it too?" He turned to her.
"Is there anything which we don't like?" Ambar queried in a surprising tone.
"Yes. I don't like spinach but Popeye likes it." Aakash muttered.
"Hmm may be he's not like us." Ambar agreed, shaking her head.
Aakash took out his colouring book and crayons. Ambar sat opposite to him.
"Do you want to colour?" He offered.
She nodded her head and picked up the colour.
"No... Not that colour. What are you doing, Amy? Paint the sky, blue." He ordered passing her the blue crayon.
"But which one? You or me." She gagged.
"No. The one on the paper."
They both giggled while she joined him in colouring his drawing.
------------------------------
Nakul was busy working on his laptop when he heard a knock on his door.
"Mr. Suri." Mr. Mittal entered his cabin.
"Yes, Mr. Mittal?" Nakul looked up at him.
"All the recruits are instructed about their work and they have been even divided into groups." He informed him.
"Good... Thank you, Mr. Mittal."
"Sir, It's my duty." He left and Nakul sighed.
He picked up his phone and called her number, wondering what they must be doing?
But she didn't answer his call, making him nervous about Aakash.
He tried again and again but it didn't get answered.
He shut his laptop in furry and stood up, straightening his coat.
He scampered out in fear thinking something wrong might have happened.
------------------------------
"Aakash .... Stop.... Please." Ambar pleaded as she chased after him with a glass in her hand, persuading him to finish his milk.
"I don't like it, why don't you drink it?" He yelled arguing.
"Even I don't like it but you won't grow strong if you don't drink this now." She smelled it and couldn't help herself but make faces due to it's odour.
"See... Even you don't like it? Okay, prove me by drinking it then only I would also drink it!" He laughed at her knowing that she can't persist him more.
"But it's for you. You have to drink it." Ambar tried to make an excuse but failed when Aakash didn't pay heed.
"Okay then even I won't drink it until you prove me that it isn't bland in taste." He announced before galloping away from her.
"Fine. I'll prove it to you that it tastes good." She gritted her teeth before gulping the entire milk in one go.
Aakash laughed knowing that he had easily tricked her.
"See... I did it." She stated after finishing the content from the glass.
"Now what? You drank the entire milk.. Problem solved." He simpered before sprinting up the stairs.
Ambar ran after him without realising the fact that she was on the second floor.
"Amy! I fooled you." Aakash teased her while scuttling away from her.
"You can't do this." She complained, as she trailed after him.
"But I did. Amy! Catch me." He tittered before running away.
Before she could follow him down, a loud roar from behind made her stop.
"Didn't I tell you not to loiter on the second floor?"
