Vaish started bringing different homemade dishes regularly. At first, Avu was bit reluctant and even tried refuse her but Vaish being Vaish never listened. She used to bring tiffin for Avu everyday. So Avu stopped denying her because she knew it was of no use. Besides that she loved food made by Vaish so it was difficult to refuse. On her insistence, Vaish used to share the food.

Avu got a bit more open with Vaish. She didn't use to get much angry. They both started enjoying each other's company. Avu liked spending time with her even if it was little. She started telling her few things about herself like what she was studying, about her course, few more things. She never told Vaish about her past. Although Vaish knew it but she wanted Avu to trust her to the level that she can share her past.

Their shift was over. They were currently having tiffin Vaish brought to her like everyday.

Avu: Well you never told me anything about yourself

Vaish: Yee umm

Avu: I mean we are umm wo friends so

Vaish: Friends?

She almost laughed.

Avu: Uhh

Vaish: From when?

Avu: From the time you bring food for me. We talk so much. I even drop you everyday. So I thought yee we are like you know. I think we are friends. Well I thought so. And even we are not. If I tell you about myself, you should also do

Vaish stopped laughing.

Vaish: Ok ok. First of all I would love being yoir friend. In fact always considered you one and you accepting it, it's great. And secondly I have no problem in sharing about myself. Well ok so I live here with my sister, cousin and a friend kinda

Avu: Oh. You study or something here?

Vaish: No. We came here for some work. And I thought to do a job alongside. As I am free at this time. So yee

Avu: Okk. So means you are here for some work. So you will gone after the work is done, right?

She asked with a sad face and voice. They had bonded up well and she was really enjoying her company and the fact the only person she liked in whole life and even cared for her will be gone today or tomorrow hurted her. Vaish held her hands.

Vaish: Hey. Please don't be sad

Avu's eyes filled with tears. Vaish cupped her face.

Vaish: If you will cry, it will make me sad as well. And see we are here for now. We won't be gone soon (in mind) Not without you sweetheart. I have got you with a lot of difficulty and I am not leaving my baby this time. I won't go this time without you baby sister

Avu: Umm it's not a problem. I have a habit of living alone

She said looking away and blinking her eyes to stop her tears. Vaish pulled her in embrace and rubbed her back. Avu was shocked but didn't pull back.

Vaish: It's ok. You don't have to hide your sadness. Crying doesn't make you weak. And now to you are also like my younger sister

Avu smiled a bit and hugged her back. They broke the hug. Avu thought to change the topic.

Avu: Your parents allowed you to come here

Vaish: Well my mom she is no more. She died while giving birth to my sister

Avu: Oh. I am sorry I didn't know

Vaish: And dad. I hate him more than anything in this world. But yee I took permission from him

Avu: Why you hate him?

Vaish: Because he does illegal work and I don't like it. He had destroyed many innocent lives. And I hate it. I want to make him suffer for his doings

Avu squeezed her hand.

Avu: Hey it's ok. Don't worry. Even I don't have anyone in this world. Not that I know of any. I was brought up in an orphanage since the time I remember. I think we should leave. It's getting dark

Vaish: Hnn baato baato mein pta hi nhi chla

They both left for Vaish's home.

Vaish: It's already dark. Why don't you stay here tonight?

Avu: No it's ok. I will just go back to my hostel

Vaish: Ok. I won't force you. But yee tomorrow is Sunday. So would you like to go out somewhere? With my group?

Avu: Well umm I am not sure. I mean I don't know anyone

Vaish: It's ok chill. They all are sweethearts. You will love their company. So shall we?

Avu: Ok. If you insist

Vaish: Great. I will message you about time and other details. Alright?

Avu: Sure

Avu left bidding her goodbye.
