🎶 Zindagi ki yahi reet hai,
haar ke badh hi jeet hai
Thode aansu hai, thodi hansi,
Aaj gham hai toh kal hai khushi🎶

"

Aranya drink it fast," Gma said to her while holding a glass of milk.

"No I won't it taste yucky," Aranya said, making weird faces.

"You have to or else you'll get weak," Gma said and Aranya peeked inside the milk glass.

After glancing at the milk from time to time she again looked at her Gma with puppy eyes and she gave her a stern look.

"Ok fine but add bournvita first," Aranya said looking at the other side.

They both heard a chuckle and turned to see Rehaan. Who was now covering her face to stop his laughter.

Rehaan came here when she was making weird faces and he finally left out a chuckle when she dramatically told to add bournvita to her milk 

"How dare you laugh at me Monkey," Aranya said, throwing a cushion at him.

"Oyai, Don't hurt me. If I get hurt then you will miss your last exam," Rehaan and holding the cushion that came flying.

She huffed a breath and sat on the bed with a sad pout. 

Rehaan signalled to Gma and she went out to add bournvita in her milk. As Aranya never liked milk, Rishi always made her drink by adding bournvita.

Rehaan packed her stationery items and checked her admit card that was lying like a crumpled paper on the table.

"What did you do with this innocent paper," Rehaan said holding the paper.

"I was getting bored in the examination room, so I played with it," She said, shrugging her shoulders.

"Who gets bored while giving examinations and the last examination was lengthy," Rehaan said, straightening the paper.

"Exams itself is a bore, I don't know who made this concept of Examination, he must be full of boredom," She said and tied her hair in a ponytail.

Meanwhile, Gma came with the glass of milk and gave it to Rehaan, blessed them for the exam and left the room.

"Ok come on, drink it," Rehaan said, giving her the glass.

"What if I puke on the answer sheet," Aranya said, giving a glare to the milk glass.

Rehaan shakes his head at her dramatic talk, holds the glass close to her lips and makes her drink the milk.

"Phew, at least bournvita made the milk tasty. I don't know what would have happened if it didn't exist," Aranya said laughing.

(Ok, milk lovers don't get offended)

Rehaan chuckled hearing her words but finally, he was grateful that she was coming back to herself.

He even knew that she would still cry at night but he was trying all he could. Like calling her intentionally at night so that she could be busy with him, not crying.

He held her hand in his hands and they walked out hugging her Gma and got on his bike.

They reached the examination centre and got inside after all the checking.

"Why do they check so much, I am not hiding a bomb that I will blast on my irritating Maths teacher," Aranya said whispering to Rehaan.

"They check so much because weak students like you depend on cheating," Rehaan said giggling slowly.

"Oh hello I am not weak, it called average and Mr oh so topper, I only cheat from your answer sheet but these stupid people didn't gave you a seat in my examination room," Aranya said as they walked to their rooms.

"Stupid girl, roll numbers are decided on the basis of your names," He told her.

"I know that," Aranya said, rolling her eyes.

"Ok now get inside and give the exam with full attention, don't play with your admit card," Rehaan said and she bobbed her head up and down and got inside her room.

~~~~~~~~~~~

After 3 hours they came out of their respective rooms and Rehaan's eyes moved around and he saw her coming out of the washroom wiping her face with a handkerchief.

"You ok," He asked as soon as he reached her.

"Yup I think something went inside my eyes, that's why I went to wash my face," Aranya said and he nodded.

"How was your exam," Rehaan asked as they walked outside the school.

"It was good, I will get good grades," Aranya said, smiling cheekily.

"Of Course you will score well, afterall I taught you," Rehaan said as he started his bike.

"Oh please, and if you are taking the credit, you must give me a golgappe party," Aranya said, eyeing the golgappa stall.

"Aranya n…," Before he could complete his sentence Aranya took the key of his bike and dragged him to the stall.

"You didn't even let me complete," Rehaan said huffing.

"Bestfriend don't have a right to say no," Aranya said, winking at him.

"You are taking advantage of me," Rehaan said as he saw her eating golgappa.

She ignored him and continued eating while she forwarded one golgappa to him and he declined it.

Aranya made him eat the golgappa by stuffing it in his mouth.

After enjoying golgappe they went back to her house to drop her.

"Come inside and have a cup of coffee," Aranya said and she took him inside.

Entering inside they saw packed bags lying in the living hall.

They both frowned their eyebrows in confusion and saw her mother coming outside from her room packing her another bag.

"What is all this mom," Aranya asked her mother.

"You and your Gma are coming with me to Delhi, and there is no need to argue Aranya, I am not going to listen to you this time," Her mother said and told her driver to keep the bags in the car.

Aradhya Sharma( she got divorced so isn't a Sinha anymore), her mother always loved her children but she never showed it. It was not that she never wanted to show her children the love she had for them but the way she was trapped in the toxicity of her husband she couldn't do it.

She always felt guilty that she couldn't show it to them but now she wanted her daughter to be safe in her arms.

Aranya hummed and went inside to change her clothes her mother handed her. Rehaan stood there in silence, his heart beating rapidly.

The fact that his best friend was going to be away from him was hard to digest.

"Rehaan, call Abhimaan how much time it will take all of them to reach here," His chain of thoughts is broken by Aranya's mother.

"Yeah, I am just calling Bhai," He said and moved out to call Abhimaan.

Walking out of the house he kept a heart on his chest to calm his racing heartbeats.

"Why is it affecting me so much, she is just my best friend, or is there something more between us," Rehaan thought and shrugging his thoughts he dialled his brother's phone.

Love never comes telling you, it happens unexpectedly and all you need is to realise it.
