I groaned as I rubbed my temples.

"You don't seem happy."

I almost jumped at the sound but then felt relieved as Radha didi came into sight.

I sighed because I didn't want to speak.

"Exams didn't go well?" She asked.
Before I could answer, I heard laughter.
As I turned around, I found Dhara walking towards us, her arm linked with Krishna; who was smiling at her, rotating the car keys around his index finger.

Dhara rushed to Radha didi and engulfed her in a hug as she gushed out many 'Thank you' s. Radha didi laughed, ruffling her hair.

"I could not do it without the help of the both of you. Thank you ... Thank you ... So much!" Her face was glowing as she looked at them with eyes oozing love.

"It takes 2 hrs to drive her here from her exam hall and in that span, I heard a million of those. " Krishna grinned at Radha, pointing towards a blushing Dhara.

I rolled my eyes. *I am in no mood to watch this triangle love.*

"Why so grumpy?" I raised an eyebrow at Krishna before answering him. "Don't you know?"

"You finally got words out of that sulky pout" Radha didi gasped.

I glared at her. But Krishna chuckled. "You need to taste some bitter to be able enjoy sweet." And I turned my glare towards him.

"I like the fact that you remembered me a lot when you were troubled. Since you were away for a while, I had to make sure you didn't forget us." He winked.

"What makes you think that I will forget you during my happy times? You are the reason for my happiness!"

A smirk appeared on his face and I cringed because my words sounded awkward to my own ears. *Can't you shut up Rukrish?*

"I have my daily dose of cheesy dialogues from these too. You wanna enroll in that list?"

I glared at him again and turned away, feeling embarrassed. He chuckled.

There was an awkward silence for a while.

"So what have you planned about the story?"

I blinked in confusion as the tube light in my brain flickered and finally lit up. "Oh ... I had almost forgotten about it. Just a few more chapters and 'The end'!"

"It is better you finish it soon. You made your friends wait too long for it. I wouldn't be surprised if  people have actually forgotten that we existed."

I nodded. *I was away for too long!* "But I might be having Internet problem till the mid of April. After that, regular updates."

They all smiled and then disappeared. *Just like that?!!*

I sighed.

So! My dear friends!

Yes and No.

Just wanted to say "I missed you all a lot!"
