No. " Eshaal said.

"I did not know you were also coming Nina."

Hearing Sarah, Eshaal noticed the girl standing a few steps away from Ash.

"Congratulations Lydia. Ash Invited me. I hope you don't mind me coming here." Nina ignored Sarah completely and said to Lydia with an elegant smile on her face.

"No, no. I am glad that you came." Lydia said.

"Where were you Ash?" Lydia asked Ash.

"Dad asked me to keep his friends company for a while." Ash answered.

"Aren't you being too obedient these days?" Sarah said.

"I am always obedient." Ash said.

"I think someone is calling us. You guys enjoy your selves." Lydia said and went to greet her friends with Alex.

"Let's go Eshaal. I haven't introduced you to all of my friends yet." Sarah said to Eshaal.

"I have something important to tell Eshaal. You can introduce her to your friends later." Ash stopped Eshaal.

Sarah looked at Eshaal and turned to leave after Eshaal told her she will come after talking with Ash.

"What do you want to talk about?" Eshaal asked Ash.

"Um.. " Before Ash could say anything he was stopped by Nina's chilling voice. "You are not going to introduce your new friend to me Ash?"

"Yeah Sure. Nina this is Eshaal. And Eshaal this is Nina."

"Hey, Eshaal. Nice to meet you." Nina held her hand out to shake Eshaal's hand.

"Hey." Eshaal held Nina's hand.

"Did you eat anything?" Ash asked.

At first Eshaal thought Ash was asking Nina but seeing his gaze fixed on herself Eshaal was once again bewildered. "No."

"Then eat something first. We will about other things in the car." Ash smiled.

"In the car?" Eshaal was confused.

"Yes. Its already so late. I will drop you home."

"But.." Eshaal tried to refuse but Ash cut in.

"If you refuse, I will assume you are still mad at me."

"I am just saying that I can go home by myself. Besides I came in my friend's car."

"Its ok. We can go in your car. I will stay at your home." Ash said.

"Ok." Eshaal admitted defeat and agreed.

"Then you should go to Sarah or she will get angry at me for taking so long."

Only after Eshaal left that Ash turned around to see Nina who was still staring at him with the same chilling expression and asked. "What?"

"You made a new girlfriend already? "

"You are jealous?"

"Not at all."

"Then, Bye."

"Bye."

Sitting in the car, looking out of window, Eshaal seemed to be in a deep thought. Ash looked at her twice and she didn't even noticed him.

"What are you thinking?" Ash finally could not hold back and asked Eshaal.

"You used me."

"Huh?"

"You used me to make your Ex girlfriend jealous." Eshaal said.

"You are so smart." Ash grinned.

"I am sorry. I won't do that again." Ash said again looking at Eshaal's serious face.

"You better not."

"Did you arrange dinner with John and his family?" Ash stopped the car at the signal.

"Yes, We agreed to meet this Friday." Eshaal said.

"You decided the day without even asking me if I am free or not? " Ash asked.

"You are busy this Friday?"

"No."

Eshaal was speechless. Sarah is absolutely right, Eshaal thought.
