Oh bhai girna nai mar jayege varna hum toh 😱🤪😵

Krish's POV

Exams never scared me. I used to wonder why people made it such a terror along with other questions like-

Why the allotted time was more than the actually required one? 3 hours! The most I could stretch it, was till one and a half hours and when I seriously studied just add to it 5 minutes more.

Why did they repeat some questions like- explain the first law of thermodynamics?
Verify the law of conservation of energy?

What should the students do? we don't have a copy-paste option in real life.

They will take a portion of a certain chapter and from only there most of the questions will be, what about the other 20 chapters we did?

And they should also mention where marks were written

5 marks(but it's 4 you'll get, regardless of your correct answer)

Exams were for me like my counselings. I need to attend but I don't want to.

You put board term before it it won't change much just that I won't be able to irritate Kyra due to strict supervisory.

Boards started with Abhi back for it and we were three again. We had a duel like I had planned before when he left me without telling and I won. He let me win. But I gave him black eyes.

We were back to what we were; actually not completely.

We studied together, we discussed on it and hang out like we used to. We did all the same things but we weren't the same anymore. There was a change a quite evident change between us.

An awkwardness in the air basically cause of me I get a little possessive over Kyra I am working on it to control it but I am hesitant to give a small slip so that Abhi can take the advantage of. It annoyed  Abhi a lot.

I trusted him. I trusted Kyra it's myself I didn't trust. What I might do and what it might let to.

Abhi loved her. It was obvious there.

First, he would always sit beside her! when we study

Second, he smiled at her when she doesn't notice!!!!!! But I did notice. Each. And. Every. Time.

Third, he would explain the problems very slowly okay let's not count that he that to me also ...

But the most obvious one was his face it brightens when she's near or his eyes suppressed back jealousy when she kissed me or smiles at me that he wished it was him.

He was my best friend probably like my brother I would've left any girl for him but not Kyra.

I tried also but it wasn't possible. I had never felt her need like this before.

She appeared distracted these days it's about exams I reckon but it felt it was like something else. Like she wants to tell something but she wanted more to hide it from me.

She wasn't the only one hiding between us I did too.

I gave the audition I knew Kyra didn't want it wholeheartedly for me. I just wanted to try it and for the first time I wished to sing for others than the four walls of my room. I think I doubted myself I wasn't that good for audience type.

Music was my life. I got willingly lost in it hung up on each word, feeling to my core the slow rhythms. It was like another world with just you wrapped in its serenity.

I was selected and I didn't tell anyone about it. They were type of band of three. They had the studio and the set up out of this town. They would go on tours frequently.

This kind of transient was frightful and exciting at the same time.

But I can't accept it.

My father had different plans and I don't want to leave Kyra, whatever we'll do we'll be together.

"Krish" Papa called as I passed by him in the drawing-room.

I glanced back halting on my steps.

He had newspapers gathered on one side. I suppressed a groan business studies.

Begrudgingly, I plopped down on the armchair looking down at the flyer of a music school. Wow, talk about a reality check.

"Krish what are you doing?" He asked curiously with a genuine interest in his eyes.

I contemplated, what are you doing?
I'm sitting

I answered slowly a little altering it, "I think I am sitting"

Okay the first one looked better now

He nodded as if I said made sense.  I guess I like business talks more than this.

"Okay, now you should get up and decide what you want to do? Do you have any passion? Anything that you love doing other than grumbling when I tell you about marketing?"

It ticked me off when he taunted me. "I love business studies that's what you want to hear?" I replied curtly.

He looked at me with a hurt expression. I shifted regretting saying that.

"I want you to tell me honestly if you have anything. I can support others sons" Abhi he meant, ", then, of course, I would be there for mine too"

I looked at him doubtfully answering, "I love music I love playing the guitar but I don't think I am that -

"Play it to me now"

My eyes widened taken aback, "just now?"

"Yes," he confirmed certainly.

I felt elated it was the first time he wanted me to hear. I nodded getting up calmly walked to my room then rushed in to take out my guitar.

My phone rang Kyra

I looked at my guitar in my hands then at the phone on the bed.

I let it ring. I Will answer later on.

Running downstairs I acted back to normal not bursting too much with excitement.

Closing my eyes I played imagining it was just me getting lost in its tunes.

When I struck the last note. I opened my eyes.

My fathers eyes were shinning he looked pleased he said, "I thought you were completely useless" he complimented in his own way. He had a dry sense of humor that no liked leaving my mother.

"Thank you" I bow down.

"There's a list of all the music schools select one; the best one and fill up the necessity."

I was befuddled I stammered, "but what about the business-??"

He sighed back shaking his head, "you will only bring it down-

"What!"I gaped offended, "you just demoralized me I am not that bad-

He got up smiling, "make me proud son" patted on my shoulder leaving me stunned.

•••••••

I need to tell this to Kyra. I want to share this with her.

I was waiting for her on the bridge over the dam it was behind Abhi's house. We did doubt discussion for our tomorrow's exam. I left after it was done informing Kyra to meet me here when she was over. Abhi was showing her his practicing clippings of his cricket training. She was more excited to watch it than me.

Approaching footsteps sound alerted me. I turned around leaning back against the bridge.

"You should have seen them Krish Abhi has been so good. And the helicopter shot it was perfect!" She explained by doing the motion with her hands.

"He'll make it under 19," she said proudly stopping in front of me.

"He will?" I asked pulling her to me by her waist.

"Yes," she nodded with no doubt.

"And what about me?" I looked down at her with my eyebrow raised.

She frowned I completed, "will I make it? The auditions"

She stared back then gave a small smile, "of course you'll"

"Well, I did" I shrugged my shoulders.

She blinked moving out of my hold she stood beside gazing down the stream. "I am happy for you" she angled her head grinning that didn't reach her eyes, "really I'm very happy" she averted her eyes from me, "this way it would be better. You gone me gone no regrets for leaving -

My body tensed up I stood away,"Kyra no one's leaving You'll come with me where I go"

She looked at me with narrowed eyes, "when did you decide that?"

I shifted uncomfortably, "I decided because you haven't told anything that you want to do so you can come with me . You can decide then and can continue your study"

She blew pacing back, "wow everyone decides for me for my life. I don't have ever any say for anything. They just tag me along put me back as per their convenience"

I reached for her shaking my head," no Kyra it's not like that you didn't say anything-

"So you thought I won't have. Yes, I lack ambition because when everyone was deciding about their lives. I was running around to get a boy's attention to prove him I love him it's always about only this, I guess-

"Kyra!"I turned her to me. She looked away blinking her eyes. "You don't lack ambition and the boy was idiot biggest idiot he couldn't see it soon" I held her face so she looked at me.

It hurts when she ignores me.

"I won't leave you, Kyra. I don't want that, tell me what you want?"

She brushed my cheek with sad eyes I leaned to her touch welcoming it,. "If I say that I would drop a year and stay back here. You won't give up your dreams and be held back with me. Will you?"

"I will," I said honestly.

She drew a breath pulling back, "that's wrong Krish that's not a wise choice for our lives. And I don't want any regrets for you and me."

"What are you trying to say, Kyra? " I demanded not liking where this conversation was going.

She looked back beckoning me near. I didn't want to hear what she has to say I pushed myself to walk.

Taking my hand she started walking, "Krish I'll tell you something and you won't stop me till I complete it, is that okay?"

Immediately, I declined "no"

She gazed up with pleading eyes, "please"

I nodded sighing giving up.

"See we are young now we have so much to explore in our lives to make mistakes to learn from it. There are so many things that will come in our ways passing moments, people in our journey to our dreams. We all have our dreams. 
And At some point you were my dream actually you still are" her eyes found mine I stared back saying well you come in my dreams, you are already then.

"Our story started very childishly I have a crush on you you were on my mind always. I wanted you to realize I love you. I wanted you to love me back, check. I wanted to kiss you, check. Then what after that?. The world doesn't have just you and me and our love. It has so many other things and life isn't all about one moment"

She said slowly as if taking it herself also what she was saying she tilted her head back at me. "I love you but what's the love that holds you back from your own dreams? Your own choices? It should have space it shouldn't pull you back from living and constricting to one place. And if it is true and if we are strong we'll survive. We'll be  back to us"

I withdrew back not considering deeply what's she said, "I am not understanding anything Kyra where's is this leading to? What do you mean? Suddenly"

She closed her eyes sighing, "I'm saying Krish that our dreams are different you know what you want and you're on its way also. While I'm still at the starting point and the way back at home my family choices have made, the card isn't in our favor. I need to get myself together I don't want to be only as a back audience seeing my friends high up there.-

"Am I stopping you, Kyra?" I asked in disbelief.

She shook her head at once, "no it's all over the place Krish my life is a mess I don't want you to be a part of it -

"Mess or not Kyra I want to be the part of it! You are breaking up with me.." I said in a low voice stepping back. Realizing what was all this about it.

My head was spinning I couldn't put it together it was really happening she didn't love me. I felt cold with fear and my heart hurt it likes something just hit it.
"You don't want me anymore I was just an infatuation like a dream for you. Which you got it accomplished so now you don't see any point in being with me"

Her eyes widened taken aback, "no Krish that's not how it is. Of course, I love you-

"You don't" My head snapped cutting her off
"You don't love me Kyra you don't if you did you won't be saying all this things. You won't be breaking my heart like this"

A tear dropped from her eyes and my hand begged to wipe them but instead I pushed it in my jeans pocket in a tight fist. "You're not understanding me what I'm trying to say" she said meekly.

"It doesn't matter," I said. "The conclusion is you don't want me anymore. I don't appeal to you now the chase is lost. You're bored with me".

"Krish!" She hissed her face contorted in pain.

I need to get out I can't stand here and hurt her. I ran my hand through my hair turning my back she held my arm making me face to her, "you won't leave me here throwing that I don't love you. I do if I didn't we won't be standing here" she said with tears in her eyes. I kept my hands to my side but fuck it. I raised them cupping her cheeks wiping them off.

"Then come with me"

She shook her head much to my disliking, "I can't"

I inclined my forehead to hers, "then let me be here with you wait why am I even asking to you I can stay here if I want"

She held my shoulders pressing them, "you can't it won't change anything I'm leaving. Mummy is getting transferred the office isn't situated here, Krish. And you know it's Myra's mother as the new manager who has cleared off all the old employees."

My heart dropped, "where's she getting transferred?"

She stared reading what was going on my mind, "you won't come with me"

"Why won't I? Tell me, Kyra, where are you going?"

She put my hands down moving out, "no I won't tell you you'll choose what's best for you not come after me like you have to"

"For some reason, you are against everything you have already decided this won't work you are not even trying" I studied her face trying to understand why she was doing this.

Making it so complicated.

"I don't want any regrets because of me or because of you"

"You can't avoid them they're going to be no matter what you choose," I said my eyes on her begging not to do this.

She begged back.
"This is better Krish I have thought about it all these days since I know I'll be leaving. What we had was beautiful let's not add something that will spoil it. Our careers should come first-

"Really? I am ready to throw aside everything for you and you are there being selfish. That's what I say you don't love me."
I whispered sinking it in.

She opened her mouth in objection I continued, "I was wrong Kyra I don't hate you even if you're breaking my heart intentionally"

Well I did warn you about it let's hope the ending is good!
