Happy birthday Alviya <3 ___________________
"Mom! Rahul is on the way," Rohan said a bit loudly so that everyone present inside the living room would hear it.
"I can't wait to see him" Mrs Christopher exclaimed with a smile.
Everyone's head turned to the entrance to see an exhausted Rahul coming towards them with a white bandage surrounding his forehead.
"Rahul, What happened my son?- I'm fine Mom" Rahul cut his mom off while hugging her.
"Cause now I'm with you" Rahul uttered, a smile adoring his lips feeling relaxed after so many tiring days.
"Mom, stop crying I'm alright" Rahul comforted her, she sat down Rahul kneeled on the carpet and wiped her tears with the pad of his thumb.
"Alright guys enough of this emotional drama or else I'm gonna cry too"
Rohan dramatically exclaimed settling himself beside her crying mom who shook her head.
"Rahul, would you care to justify where you were all this while?" with a hint of anger present in his tone Rahul's father finally spoke up.
"Chris, he just got back home" - Hanya tried to defend her son but shut her mouth seeing her husband standing up, glaring at her to shut up.
"Dad, he went to attend his friend's wedding" Rohan wanted to praise himself for coming up with such a good lie meanwhile Rahul looked at his brother thinking if he was his brother.
"Which friend?"
"Monica"
"Jason"
Both Rahul & Rohan simultaneously said different names and they knew they were in big trouble. Hanya face-palmed herself for raising such dumb children while Mr Christropher
looked away with a smirk on his lips.
"Three rounds"
"Ah that's easy," Rohan said thinking it would be easy to make 3 rounds of the mansion. Rahul nodded in agreement.
"Of the town"
"WT-shit" Rohan finished off the word to save his stupid brother. Rahul ruffled his hair and sat on the sofa.
"Rahul, go freshen up I've prepared your favorite dish" Hanya uttered looking at Rahul whose eyes lit up.
"No, both of you go freshen up or both of you will get infected" Hanya sternly said and went inside the kitchen.
Rahul happily went inside his room and took off his shirt just to freeze when he felt someone wrapping their arms around his neck. He quickly went into his defensive state blocked that person's hands and pushed that person sending him/her to the ground.
"What are you doing in my room?" was the first thing Rahul asked after seeing Rita. He lends his hands for help after seeing her struggling to stand up.
"I came to see you" Rita admitted
"Go!"
"What"
"Now that you have seen me go then"
Rahul said eying the door for her to go
"Mom told me to redo your bandage"
Rita said in an attempt to spend some quality time with his future husband.
"Mrs. Christopher"
Rahul corrected her with annoyance.
"Mrs. Christopher has told me to call her mom, do you have any problem?"
"No"
"Also you don't have to redo my bandage--but I would love to Rahul" Rita cut him off in mid-sentence, she gestured for him to sit which he did.
"-Does it hurt--?"
"--No-"
"-Give me a chance--"
After a few minutes of redoing the bandage, Rita couldn't help but ask this question to Rahul who opened his eyes and looked back at her blankly.
"Our parents want us together right then why don't you give me a chance"
Rita said her eyes full of unshed tears.
"I have told you, I can't--Rahul please"
Rita said desperately her tears flowing towards her cheeks as she slowly wipes them.
"I-i-I have no one who loves me"
Rita revealed with a vulnerable tone
Rahul's gaze softens towards her.
"I've always dreamed of living with you," Rita said looking into Rahul's eyes as she clasped both of their hands together tightly but little did she know she was forcing him to do this all.
"I want you Rahul" Rita leaned over Rahul who was still in a daze to register what she had said, Rita was completely hovering above Rahul who was pushed over the mattress, he felt a warm puff of air around his lips, and in next second he opened his eyes to see their lips inches apart.
"Guys say cheese" Rohan opened the door knowing exactly what was happening, he took out his phone to take a picture of this 'lovely moment'
he made a vomit face after seeing it.
Both Rahul and Rita blinked, instinctively Rahul pushed Rita off and stood up looking at Rohan who was making the kissing face of Rita.
"I will take it as a yes" Rita shyly whispered to Rahul and went away.
Rita cursed under her breath and rolled her eyes at Rohan who innocently smiled at her face.
"One day I'll do it in front of everyone" Rita spat gazing at Rohan who gave her a thumbs-up as she left.

Meisha Jenner
I was reviewing the exam notes that I made in the class when I heard several notifications pop up from everyone's phone except mine because it's always on silent mode. I looked up from my desk to see most of the students in the class were standing with their friends holding their phones and reading something displayed on their phone screens with shocked expressions on their faces.
"Meisha! Look" Jen came handing me her phone I glanced at her she seemed nervous and a bit stunned I took hold of her phone and started to read the article.

Rahul Christopher
I turned around hearing the footsteps of someone very familiar I know coming towards the college terrace.
"W-why?"
Meisha stood in front, her dark brown strands made her look ethereal, her crystal brown almond eyes were narrowed because of the blazing daylight hitting her face, but I could see her eyes were loaded with questions that needed to be answered. Her thick eyelashes seemed moist, her cheeks were turned pink, the tip of her nose was red, and her lips were neared to bleeding because of the harsh biting. She looked like a fresh tomato ready to explode She was wearing the university's navy blue uniform which was praising her pale skin. Her face was glowing in the sunlight. The tight grasp of her fingers on her shirt didn't go unnoticed by me.
"Take a deep breath"
"Huh"
"Breath" Her confused face turned a bit embarrassed when she realised what I had just said but soon she was back in that condition but a lot better.
"Y-you could've told me earlier," Meisha said looking down which baffled me.
"Would you have believed me?" I stepped forward noticing Meisha taking a step back one by one.
"-till," she said inaudibly, face still down which annoyed me. I took a step along and her back met with the gate.
"Look up" I put my arms on the wall for support and glanced down at her.
"Look at me" I whispered maintaining an adequate space between us. In case she didn't freak out, I extended my forefinger and held up her chin to catch a glimpse of her almond eyes now a bit red and filled with tears. I quickly withdrew my hand considering it made her uncomfortable just to see her catching her ears with guilt present in her eyes.
"I'm sorry"
"Sorry for not trusting you in fact for accusing you of my sister-in-law's death. I was blinded by some stupid reasons and hated you for the thing you hadn't done. I broke our friendship because of the false news. I'm not blaming anyone. I know it's my fault. I would have heard from you. But I just broke all our friendship without acknowledging your side. I'm sorry please try to forgive me. I promise I'll never show my face to y- Oh God girls speak a lot that's real" I cut her off by putting my hands on her nonstop mouth. I laughed out loud seeing her cute puppy glare.
"Meisha it's never your fault, it's just the circumstances were not on my side. Don't blame yourself everyone thought it was my fault. Now I proved that I'm not the one everyone was thinking of. The real culprit is in prison. Everything is fine now, yeah" I said to her after withdrawing my palm from her mouth.
"Are we still friends now?" Meisha curiously asked with a hint of joy.
"After all this, you think I'll be your friend," I said coldly while pushing my hair back. Seeing her one's happy face turned into a pout.
"It's okay," Meisha said turning around and was about to open the gate when I held her hand and pulled her into a hug. I smiled when she hugged me back.
"Our friendship was never broken it was just going through some tough phases to make it stronger," I said breaking the hug and wiping her tears with the sleeves of my hoodie.

Rita Lorel
I rolled my eyes seeing that shitty article "This is what happens when you don't listen to me rascal Lucifer" I scoffed and switch off my phone.
"Let's go to the terrace," Riya my friend or I say sister-in-law said I followed her behind only to bump into her when she stopped on her track.
"Wow, am I seeing things now?" Riya said I glanced ahead of her and saw something that made my blood boil in anger, I clenched my palm ready to punch that filthy bish holding my fiance's hand.
"I think we should go" Riya hurriedly grabbed my hand and sprinted into one of the random empty classrooms.
"WTH! Why did you drag me here"
I yelled and yanked her hand away,
"Oh So, I would have let you punch that pussy, and what about Rahul he would have watched you do that. Rita come to your senses and think before you do something stupid" Riya said
I closed my eyes to calm myself down
"Our college is setting up camping in the woods, we can make a strategy"
Riya uttered calmly while chewing gum. I closed my eyes with a smirk.
"We will do that," I said while sitting and crossing my legs seeing her smiling "But now we will do this," I declared and stood up removing my all hair pins to make my hair loose.
"What's going on inside your head" Riya questions confused I giggled.
"You will see," I said winking at her exiting the classroom and going straight to the canteen confidently.
I searched for that Bish seeing her coming with her food tray. I couldn't help but laugh luck is on my side today.
I sat on the nearby table waiting for her to walk past me and she did that's when I stood up and Meisha was pushed down, the rice was scattered on the floor and the hot soup fell on her drenching her uniform, looked around to spot Riya giving me a thumbs up approval for my plan. Random students were shocked to see the topper in such a disgusting state.
"Ow Meisha~" I squatted down beside her to give her some sympathy.
"Are you okay?" She brushed my hand off her shoulder when I tried to approach her she was such an ungrateful bish.
"Oh no," I said with a pout on my face standing up and seeing my sandals had some sprinkles of soup on them.
"Meisha? If you don't mind can you clean my sandals see it's your fault so you gotta do it! Are you hearing me"
I frustratedly but politely said to her but she did not respond. She was looking at the floor where she belonged. I couldn't see her face cause of her. I squatted down with some tissue and tried to give her but in vain. At last, I shoved some tissue into her hand forcefully not noticing she got some scratches from my pretty nails.
"Do it" I said to her in a calm tone but she didn't listen to me and kept her head down. I glanced behind to see a guy gesturing for me to stop I glared at him.
"DO IT!" I yelled gaining more attention from the students, I pulled some hair strands from her hair. She didn't react. I gritted my teeth in anger.
"Do it or else I couldn't complete my word when Meisha grabbed me by my hair and started to drag me somewhere.
"Or else what" She yanked me, her grip on my hair felt burning, and I felt my scalp peeling off. I saw her red eyes blazing in anger. I gulped seeing her rage towards me. I tried to defend myself but she blocked me. Where did this bish learn this?
"OR ELSE WHAT!" It was so sudden when I felt my head hitting the window, not once, not twice but many times and that's when I felt warm liquid flowing from my head rapidly,
I tried to kick her, but she hit my shin. My screams were the only thing that filled the canteen. When I got the chance I scratched Meisha's face as
harshly as I could which satisfied me.
I couldn't notice a large crowd gathered around us. Food was forgotten all along. Some foodies were choking on their sandwiches, some were busy taking pictures or videos. Teachers were still not present there.
"Meisha!" I heard my lover's voice calling the person I hated the most.
"Are you okay?" I was pulled towards my Rahul who held me close to him. I glanced at him he looked worried. Worried for me right? Of course!
"She is a psycho" I screamed pointing my finger toward her in frustration.
"Rahul I d-Meisha enough" Rahul held his hand in front of me and I took it.
"Woah" Ryan entered with a shocked look on his face.
"What happened? World War 3?"
Rohan that annoying person asked,
"Did I miss something?" Kin with his puffy eyes which looked soaked in water uttered in surprise.
"And this is our canteen--" Principal said while entering with a new guy.
"Meisha?" That unknown guy said,
"Ethan!" Meisha said looking confused.
"Rahul, my hand," I said to him trying to remove my hand from his sudden tight grip. he was glancing at them with narrowed eyes. As if he doesn't like it.
"IN MY OFFICE IN FIFTEEN MINUTES!" The principal instructed after seeing my messed up condition and left with that weird guy.
"Sit," Rahul so gently sat me on the nearby chair, he was holding a first aid kit, he's gonna treat my injuries.
I couldn't help but feel satisfied.
"Rohan treats her wound," Rahul said turning around while taking hold of Meisha's hand and dragging her out of the cabin. My burning eyes followed them with bitterness as I saw both of them leaving the canteen together.
"Umm show me your wound" I glanced down seeing Rohan that annoying person squatted down. I yanked his hand away when he tried to hold it.
