Banter? (Akshay)

A week had gone really fast working at Bengaluru. With setting up his apartment, meeting colleagues, glaring at the headache called Arjun (well thank god they had not talked since that day), doing his job, video calling his parents and of course sending irritating messages to Akshara.

Today was a Sunday, and Sundays are street roaming days. Akshay took the OLA to the Bengaluru market. He was dressed casually. That was good because it was so crowded there now.

He roomed here and there, looking for vegetables which he knew to cook. He had been living all this week on burned roti and pickle in the morning, office canteen food at noon and porridge and pickle in the evening, He was legit bored.

He looked at the spinach sitting on a bench. It looked fresh. Hmm... maybe he could make some spinach curry, how the hell would that turn out to be ..ha. He bought some spinach and cauliflower (Gobi ke curry to kitna difficult hoga?) along with some spices.

Akshay walked on the footpath a bag full of stuff in shorts and t-shirt, watching random people passing when he saw the devil himself.

Of course, it had to be Mr. Arrogant Arjun. He was sitting along with some others of his age...friends?, in an open café. The most worrying thing, the current person had spotted Akshay and was now waving him over. Ugh... couldn't he leave him alone.

“Oii... Akshay...Akshayy”

Akshay almost stomped over their table and glared at Arjun-. “ What is it?”

He got a wide smirk in return-” Akshay meet my friends, Daksh and Aryan, Guzz meet Akshay my new employee”

“I am NOT your employee, your father is my boss”- Akshay scoffed at him

“Yada yada same thing”: more glaring from Akshay's part, nevertheless he greeted Daksh and Aryan

Dakhsh was a lean man much like himself, with a shaved face and hooded eyes, bet he had broken many hearts.

Aryan was a muscle man, maybe an athlete.

“Nice to meet you Akshay I heard how you mistook this donkey as your boss, that's so hilarious.”-Aryan laughed

“Tell me about it”

“So were you going somewhere, or you want to eat with us?”- Daksh was very polite

“Umm.. Thank u, but I was just walking home..”- Akshay lifted his grocery bag slightly.

“Oh Spinach huh, you know how to cook?”- Arjun was eyeing him.

Akshay rolled his eyes. ”No, I was living on air all these days”

“Sarcastic much”

“Stupidity much”

“ok, ok ahem... guzz are you always like this... bantering like a married couple?”- It was Daksh, a little surprised at Arjun's bratty behavior

“Married couple, us... Daksh you are simply mental... this guy here is the rudest person I have ever seen”- Arjun pointed at Akshay.

“Me, rudest, wait is that even a word?. Anyway, you are the most arrogant man I have ever seen”- Akshay was relentless.

“Arrogant, how dare you call me arrogant, I am the humblest person existing on earth”- Arjun was full on boasting mode now

Akshay snorted, “ya…tell that to yourself, ha.. I am going, bye guzz”. Akshay waved at Daksh and Aryan, ignoring Arjun before getting into an auto which had come just now.
