The next day Shahana woke up hearing a notification from her mobile. She cursed it and checked the notification sleepily. Her eyes widened by seeing the post she was tagged in.

Shahana: Aryan! Let me show you who I am.

Yes, it was Aryan's post where he had uploaded Shahana's weird sleeping picture and captioned it as 'Rise and Shine because it's a beautiful morning. Don't sleep like this monkey here.'

Shahana began searching Aryan's weird picture, forgetting her extra sweet sleep in the morning. Finally she found one in which Aryan lay on the couch with chips scattered all around him, the empty packets on his stomach and he looked dizzy due to overeating. She uploaded the picture with the caption 'Don't forget your morning exercise or you will be like this lazy sloth."

She tagged Aryan in the post and gave a victorious smile before going to get ready for the college.

Ranbir and Aryan were early to reach college. They were waiting for the girls in the canteen.

Ranbir: Why are these girls always late?

Aryan: Painting Ranbir, face painting.

Sameer: But my friends and girl friend are naturally beautiful unlike other girls.

Aryan: Bhai, why did you come to college? Are you suffering from amnesia? You have already completed your college.

Ranbir: Idiot, he has come to meet Srishti di.

Just then Prachi and Shahana come. They surprise to see Sameer too. When the boys explained them, they went to the class together after teasing him.

Srishti came shortly. She was happy to see Sameer but control her emotions at it was the college.

Srishti: What are you doing here? Aunty has said that no one should know about this marriage.

Sameer: I had came to see my beautiful girlfriend. But, you must go to your class now. If you are late for the lecture, mom will kill me.

Srishti (chuckled): OK mumma's boy, see you soon.

Srishti turned to go but Sameer held her hand.

Sameer: Soon means?

Srishti: Evening..... Park.....

Sameer: I will be waiting.

Srishti smiled at him and went to her class.

Since their classes were over, Prachi and Shahana were sitting in the canteen watching funny videos and enjoying their soft drinks. They had ordered food for everyone and were waiting for them to come to start eating.

Ranbir came and placed his bag on the table. He then kept his head on it and closed his eyes in exhaustion. Aryan dropped down in the chair next to him and closed his eyes too. The girls didn't notice them and kept on laughing.

Aryan: Kindly shut up for a while you two.

Prachi got silent sensing their exhausted state but Shahana being herself got angry.

Shahana: If you want a silent environment, then go to the library.

Aryan, who was already irritated with the scolding he had got from the teacher due to Dimpy's flirting got up and left to their favourite place in the college.

Shahana felt bad for him because he didn't have his lunch. She took his lunch and followed him.

Prachi stared at Ranbir.

Prachi: Heavy lecture?

Ranbir: Unfortunately yes.

Prachi: Get up and have some food and then go to sleep as you have the next class free.

Ranbir (opening his eyes): It's free right? I'll have lunch then. Please let me sleep now.

Prachi: OK fine.

She began working in her laptop.

As Ranbir was going to have a power nap again, he noticed two sandwiches on the table. He realized that Prachi hadn't taken her lunch either.

Ranbir: Why haven't you eaten?

Prachi: I thought we would eat together.

Ranbir: But you have a class just after this.

Prachi: I felt it wouldn't he nice if I ate while you stayed hungry.

Ranbir: Let's have it now. I'm suddenly hungry.

Prachi smiled at him and handed the sandwich.

Even though they didn't speak out their feelings aloud, they never forgot to make small gestures to make each other happy.

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

Shahana followed Aryan to their favourite place which was a pond with a tree beside it. No except the six went there. Why? All the credits go to them. Since they wanted the spot to be solely theirs, they had scared the other students into believing that the place was haunted. No one dared to visit it now. Even the newcomers were fed with the stories of the paranormal activities of the place.

Shahana held the sandwich near Aryan's nose. He opens his eyes due to the smell.

Aryan: What?

Shahana: Have this.

He didn't argue as he was hungry. He took it and began eating it. Shahana removed her sandals and put her feet into the water. Aryan watched her playing with the water and smiled.

Shahana: Come here and join me. It will help you relax.

Aryan: I don't do kiddish things like you.

Shahana: Hawh! You are the one who taught me to do like this.

Aryan: I showed you the scene in the movie and said it would be fun to do so. But it's suitable only for children like you.

Shahana: ARYAN!

She began chasing him. After running around the pond for at least 10 times, they got tired and sat down.

Shahana texted Prachi.

Shahana: I'm so tired, chichi. I'm going to sleep in our favorite place and will copy the notes from you later.

She didn't even wait for the reply and slept on the bench. Aryan sat at the edge of the bench and surfed his phone. Shahana began shifting uncomfortably on the bench. He lifted her head gently and placed it on his lap. She hugged his torso thinking it to her dear teddy.
