Abishek stood frozen in his place , his heart was beating so fast that he felt an instant urge that he was going to faint any time soon !!!

His face was pale , he lost all the colours , he couldn't even react to all the things that's happening in front of him.

All the others were frozen too , they didn't expect things to happen this way ... All looked at Sanjana whose face didn't have any expression .

It was hard to pull out some information from her face now . They were fearing for the worst that could happen . Already half of hell was loose , they didn't want the rest to fall apart .

Ashok shook Abishek , who snapped back into reality . The boy was now standing clueless like them . He looked back from Sanjana , and found the rest of the faces .

When he exactly found way to meet Abishek , he started throwing daggers at him with eyes . And Abishek was no less , he was ready to even throw him away .

The intensity between the glares were getting high and the surrounding started becoming awkward for everyone . Tharunya and Shalini went near Sanjana who was still in the same position .

They shook her and she came out of the trance . She turned back to see Abishek glaring at the boy .

She sighed , she was tired of all his behaviour . Once he acts like she deserves everything and the next he ignores her like plaque .

She shook her head from his thoughts , she need to rationalize the situation before it goes down the hill .

She looked at Ashok and Ashwin for help and they understood . Both dragged Abishek away from there .

"Loosa da neenga ena en da Inga kooptu vanthinga vidunga da " he was shouting at them . But they didn't budge even a little and brought far away , once they were out of reach they left him. 

Abishek glared at them , and they stood unaffected . "Dei paithiyam ah neenga en da " he said and clutched his head .

"Motha cool down aagu " Ashwin said . "Etheyyy cool down ah anga oruthen en aal ta propose panitu irukan cool down ahm la Ena da prechana ena vidunga nan anga poganum " Abishek roared .

"Technically Ava unoda aal eh illa , sir Vera ignore lam paninga ipa Ava just friend athukooda Ava Sona thaan " Ashok sneered .

"Deiii loosu Mari pesatha da " Abishek said his voice starting to crack . "Dei macha calm down please " Ashwin said holding his shoulders .

He was close to tears , "Deiiiii" that was the only thing he could say then . Both his friends hugged him immediately.

"Ava apdi easy ah poida mata , but know that you hurt her more " Ashok said slowly . Abishek nodded while hugging them .

"Cheri va polam anga but don't shout or anything seriya" Ashwin said and he nodded again .

Once they reached where the girls were, there was an erie silence . The boys were confused and looked around to see the girls sitting quietly in a bench where the bikes were .

Ashok slowly reached and held Sanjana's shoulder , she turned and gave him a wide smile . "Are you okay now !" He asked with more concern . She winked , "I'm super good bro " she said while giggling .

Ashok was a little confused about her behaviour , Tharunya sensed it and blinked her eyes reassuring him . He nodded and stood away .

It's still a bit awkward having Abishek and Sanjana . Abishek looked at the ground unable to meet her gaze .

"Antha payyan enga" Ashwin asked out of nowhere and everyone tensed up a bit . Ashwin bit his tongue , Shalini glared him .

"Suma iruka mataya Ashwineyyyyyy neee" she muttered and smacked his arms . "Manufacturing Defect ma " he said pouting .

"Abishek ta pesanum " Sanjana told seeing Ashok and Ashwin . Both looked at each other , then looked at Abishek .

"Naanga ...." Ashwin dragged , "Ingayae irunga , avar ta pesa mudiyum ah ketu solunga na " She said calmly .

Abishek gulped , " Pesalam " he said meeting her gaze . He went near her and the girls reached their partners . They holded their hands and stood close , seeing what's gonna happen .

"Ma ena aachu .... " He asked quitely , she looked at him as if he was real . Suddenly ....

SHE SLAPPED HIM

He looked at her wide eyed and everyone too . "Sanjana ...." He said while holding his cheeks .

"Ena huh !!!!? Nee pandrathuku lam konjuvaangala , oruthan vanthu propose pandran paathutu nikkara ena thaan unoda prechana pudikalana sollithollayalam , I would just vanish .... From your life .... If you  don't like me " she cracked .

She was about to slump down , he just pulled her towards him and hugged her .

She sobbed clutching him so tight and he didn't know what to do , he hated to see her crying , he slowly pacified her by slowly caressing her hair and back .

"Just hear what I say without cutting me out okay ...." He asked and she just nodded .

"You are one of a kind , you are an angel , nee .... vanthu anaiku en Mela crush irukapayae nan vilunthuten d " he chuckled .

"Athukum aprm pesa start Pani Una pathi elamey terinjikita aprm , I have never seen someone other than my bestfrnds to understand me that much . You are such a sweet one and I thought you deserved better athan thooram ponen ... Ana inaiku Vera oruthen unmunadi apdi mutti potu propose panapa .... Enala mudiyala .... "

"You are mine puriyutha mine only . I know how much you love me and I LOVE YOU more than you know !!! I love you Sanajana" he said hugging her more and now she was crying more hiding in his chest .

He pacified her again and after she was okay she looked at him again , to see if he said all that truly . And he just blinked in assurance , making her smile more .

They parted and looked at their friends who were grinning wide . "Ama antha payyan enga ena sona " Ashok asked this time . She felt Abishek tense up a bit .

She went near and holded his hands . " Tho intha tubelight ah thaan love pandren , epayum Ivana thaan panuven nu solten" Sanjana said smiling and Abishek smiled wide .

They enjoyed their evening watching the sunset with their partners and that was a blissful evening foe everyone .

Present

"That was such a wonderful short story you know " Tharunya said while holding hands with Ashok .

"We all came a long way from that " Ashok said and hugged her side ways .

They were leaning in the balcony of the resort they all stayed while the others were down arranging the dinner .

"Yes now we all got married to our love ones and it still feels surreal to me " She said hugging his arms tightly .

"Dei angayae iruka poringala illa keezha Vara idea iruka" Abishek shouted , Ashok and Tharunya giggled and went down .

"Sema dinner polayae" Ashwin said coming there with a some soft drinks in his hands and all settled down for dinner reminiscing their college life's .

"To us " Ashwin , Ashok , Abishek said in unison and smiled at each other . Still they are best friends and they had that rapport still . All clinged their glasses and smiled wide .
