"Babliiiii," Rishabh's nagging voice called, and Disha let out an exasperated sigh.

"Go away," She shoved him away and marched toward where her chachu was standing.

"No thanks," Rishabh grinned, irking her even more.

"Rishabh, I'm not in the mood alright." She sighed, she had had one of her very first arguments with her father. Her father was hell-bent on having her finish her degree so that she could join her cousin in America. Software Engineer.

"Hey, what happened?" His voice softened noticeably. She forced a smile.

"Nothing, Janab." She elbowed him and made him roll his eyes.

"Come on, we'll have Pani Puri after practice." He smiled and she gently pinched his cheeks.

"Come on, I'm not a baby." He rolled his eyes and swatted her hand away.

"Rishabh?"

"Hm?"

She paused, chewing her lip, debating if she should tell him or not. She'd gotten accepted into the Australia's University of Science.

"Nothing," She spared a glance at the cricket felid, it would be the last time she'd see it. Her phone pinged, it was from Akash.

Akash, Rishabh, and Disha were good friends. Some might say they acted like triplets. Disha's smile disappeared when she read the message. She turned to look at Rishabh who was munching on a Pani Puri. Rishabh didn't always get along with Akash, the two fought constantly for Disha's attention.

This small rivalry snowballed into something much more.
