Akshit took Hazel in parking lot and made her sit on passenger seat and made sure he had put on the seat belt properly.

Akshit: Chale beta?

Hazel clapped her hands excitedly.

Hazel: Yesssss

Akshit chuckled seeing her. He shut the door and jogged towards the driver seat. He started the car and reached the ice-ceam parlor. He helped Hazel to get out and locked the car.

Akshit: Come

He said offering her hand which she held quickly. He got a call and he smiled seeing the collar I'd.

Akshit: Hi Zalak. We reached

Zalak: Ya I also came. Where are you?

Akshit: We are at the entrance

Zalak: Okk I am just coming

She reached there. Hazel excitedly waved her hand and ran towards her.

Hazel: Zalak diii

Zalak walked towards her quickly and picked her up. Zalak kissed her cheek.

Zalak: How is my baby?

Hazel: Good

Zalak: Okk gimme also a kissie

She said pointing her cheek. Hazel quickly kissed her cheek.

Akshit: So girls if you forgot I am also here

Zalak: To tum mein aesa hai bhi kya ki hum ab tumpar dhyaan de

Akshit: Gazzab bezzati hai yrr

Zalak and Hazel giggled and hi-fied. Akshit also smiled seeing them.

Zalak: Hii. Jokes apart. I am glad you called me. I was missing her so much

She greeted Akshit with a side hug.

Akshit: Pleasure is mine Miss Nigam

Zalak: Chale? Dekho mein to free hu but tum apna dekhlo. Ya tum company ke faaltu logo mein se ho jinke paas koi kaam nhi hai

Akshit looked at her with a done look.

Akshit: Achha theek hai mein jaa rha hu. Meri koi izzat hi nhi karta

He was about to leave.

Zalak: Achha sorry. Don't mind na please

Hazel: Ice-cream. Chaloooo

Zalak: Dekho na she is also so excited. Ab chhodo ye gussa aur chalo andar

Akshit: Okk chalo

Akshit nodded. Zalak quickly walked inside holding Hazel while Akshit stepped back to let her. He followed them inside. They took a table. They chose their orders. Waiter came and took their orders.

They were talking with each other more like Zalak and Hazel teaming up and teasing Akshit. Akshit was pretending to get angry but inside he was loving it. He loved seeing Hazel happy and was enjoying Zalak's company. It was first time they were spending time as friends and not discussing about how to bring their idiot friends together.

Soon the waiter came with their orders.

Akshit: Thank you

They enjoyed their ice-ceam while Hazel was in her own world eating it while smudging it over her whole face. Akshit and Zalak were loving her cute antics.

Akshit: Can I taste yours?

Zalak was caught off guard by his question.

Akshit: I mean it looks good only if you don't mind

Zalak: Okk

She forwarded her ice-ceam. But as soon as he was about to taste it, she pulled it back. Akshit frowned.

Zalak: You can taste. But I have a condition

Akshit: Ice-ceam ke lie condition. Okk bring it on

Zalak: You will let me taste yours

She said innocently that brought a smile on Akshit's face. He immediately forward his without saying anything to which Zalak smiled widely. They finished their ice-ceam. Zalak cleaned Hazel's face. Waiter handed them the bill.

Akshit: Zalak there is ice-cream on your face

Zalak: Oh okk

She took a tissue and tried cleaning it but it got more messy.

Akshit: Arre nhi. Ruko

He pointed on his face and directed her. She wiped as per his directions.

Akshit: Done

Zalak: Thanks

Akshit smiled at her. He brought out his wallet.

Zalak: Heyy wait. It was my treat na

Akshit: Arre I was just joking

Zalak: No way I am paying. I also earn. And secondly I am elder than you. So lemme

Akshit: Itna bhi farak nhi hai hum dono mein

Zalak: Jitna bhi ho. I am still elder than you

Akshit raised his hands in surrender.

Akshit: Alright. Go for it. But next I will pay

Zalak: So there is a next time hnn?

Akshit: If you want. Then yes

Zalak payed the money and they came out.

Zalak: Thank you so much Akshit for inviting me. I really enjoyed today

She kissed Hazel's cheeks and gave Akshit a side hug and left bidding them bye. While Akshit was smiling looking at her.

Akshit: Chale?

Hazel nodded.

Akshit: Had fun?

Hazel: Yesshhhh

They left back for office while talking to each other.
