Cafe Giggles - Two

*All things narrated here are fictional*

Kaaya and Kriya reached their home in a hurry. Kaaya saw a girl standing at the doorstep; she was boiling in anger and gave Kriya a death stare. Kriya instantly hugged the girl and said, "I am so sorry di it completely slipped from my mind that you were coming today. I and Kaaya went to have some fun. Oh wait let me introduce." The girl responded, "That can wait for a while; please open the door. I've been standing outside for the past hour. I gotta relax myself." Kriya rushed to open the door, and her sister walked in. Kriya moved in her sister's bags and apologized to Kaaya for her response." Kaaya said, "It's completely all right, Kri, I can understand she was a little frustrated, and it's natural; you need not apologise. Let's go inside." Kriya's sister comes to freshen up. "Yes, Kri, now tell me." She glanced at Kaaya moved her hand towards her and said "You must be Kaaya, for over a few weeks I've heard about you from Choti. I'm sorry for earlier; I was a little pissed and couldn't chat nicely. By the way, I'm Raashi, Kriya's older sister," Kaaya responded, "Hi di, it's completely alright; we are sorry that you had to wait for us", Raashi questioned Kriya as to why she was not waiting for her when she was already notified. "I'm sorry, di. Actually Akku had called me and told me there's this new cafe in the city. And Kaaya's college has just begun. She gets all tired, and she's new here so I thought of taking her out in the city. And in that excitement, I completely forgot about your arrival." Raashi responded with a smirk, "Kaaya was just an excuse, the real reason was Akku. I told you many times not to get involved with this guy but you..." Before she could say much, she noticed Kaaya was still there, and she got silent and said, "Never mind. Not much of a thing." So the girls conversated for a few times, and they left to sleep. 

As she was about to hit bed her phone rang, group video call notification was popped up. Her friends had video called her and Kaaya narrated her day things with them. She happened to mention the musical guy, her friends excitingly responded, "Wait, Ray, so you have already met this guy and you're telling us now? So how's he?" She got confused and said, "what? Well guys, you're mistaken I'm talking about the musical guy who was there singing." Dodo said, "It's no coincidence, why do I think he might be the same Ray, Nimish." Sapna replied, "What's the possibility of this coming true. 1 in 100. There are 100&1000s of people who might have this name." Gautami replied, "But let's hope for the best, it would be so filmy if he's the same guy."everyone laughed, Prayag responded, "You better read and watch less romantic movies and books!" Kunal replied, "Let's see guys. Anyway we're meeting for Ana's engagement next week right? The reason she's not added to this video call is we have to decide her gift guys." Everyone exclaimed, "Oh yes, back to the agenda guys, let's share ideas." They chattered for few time and Kaaya was all happy to connect with her friends. She had thought was their any possibility of the musical guy being the same Nimish? She fell asleep while humming the same song she listened to at the cafe. 

The next month passed, and the month end was there; Kaaya noticed it and decided to go there in the hope of getting to listen to the musical guy. Kaaya was no longer. She, at times, needed someone to accompany her. It was Saturday, and Kriya was having a holiday. Over a cup of coffee, Kaaya asked, "Kri, it's Sat. Do you have any plans for this evening?" "no" kriya replied. "Then shall we go to this musical gig cafe we went last month. Today is month end so we might get to listen to some good music!" "That sounds great Ki and Ka(Kaaya). Let us all go there, Raashi di will tag along." "Okay done." 

In evening girls got ready and were all ready to leave but to their luck it was raining heavily outside. The rain came as a mood spoiler and they were forced to stay inside. Their plan got cancelled. Raashi ordered food and Kaaya went to invite Shah's couple (elderly couple, neighbours) the girls, aaji and aajoba had dinner at their room. While they were playing game Kriya's phone rang, it was Akku and she went to her to talk. Raashi was little disappointed and unhappy with Kriya's behaviour. "This guy again. What did you see in him Kri" She thought she was muttering but she was loud. Kaaya heard and said "You said something to me?" "OH NO NO Kaaya I was just talking about, nevermind." "no problem di, anyway if you don't mind why don't you tell me more about Kri. We would like to know more about her." "Yes sure." She reveals the fact that their family was looking suitor for Kriya. Listening to this Shah aaji got all excited, she and Raashi had made good bond over the marriage topic. Raashi told that their family has listed one guy and they're insisting Kriya to meet him but she always dodge the opportunity and that was the reason Raashi had to come to Bangalore to pursue her to atleast meet this guy. She told Kaaya that the guy is therapist and owns cafe in partnership with his cousin for side income. Upon knowing this Kaaya was happy but she was surprised to the fact why they were not considering Akaay, but she kept this question to herself. Raashi shares multiple stories of Kriya and the time passes. 
Later on, Aaji and aajoba goes to their place while girls set their bed. Kaaya saw the calendar and muttered to herself "Gotta wait for another month to listen to you Ray! I am madly hoping you're the same Ray I've been searching for!!!"

Will Kaaya be able to make it upto the cafe to find identity of this musical guy?
