Author's POV
"Beta ji take this too." Radhika said while offering Curry to Ekansh.
"Radhika give him sweets too." Shankar said.
"Di I think maa and papa is liking Jiju so much. See how they are treating him." Aman whispered in Surbhi's ears.
"Right! Hame toh kbhi nhi pucha." Surbhi whispered back.
(She never asked us.)
"What happened Surbhi?" Shankar said when he heard some whispering sound.
"Nothing papa." Surbhi said.
"Then eat silently you both." Shankar said.
"How's the food?" Radhika asked.
"It's nice." Surbhi responded.
"I am asking you Ekansh beta." Radhika said with a little smile.
Surbhi and Aman looked at each other in amusement.
"It's very delicious." Ekansh said returning the smile.
Surbhi looked at his smile. Her heart flutters after seeing his smile.
"His smile... It's beautiful."
"He should smile more often." She thought.
.
.
"Di... Can you now help me with my maths homework?" Aman asked when everyone finished eating.
"Sure." Surbhi said and stood up from her place and started walking.
"Jiju can you come with me too?" Aman asked.
"Aahh This dumb kid. Ruined my whole plan."
"I thought I would not have to face him for sometime but." Surbhi thought.
"Why not? Let's go." Ekansh said and smirked internally.

Ekansh Surbhi and Aman sat on the bed. Aman brought his copy and pen and give that to Surbhi.
"By the way which lesson do you have problem in? " Ekansh asked.
"None other than trigonometry." Aman sighed.
"Hmm.. Aman focus here." Surbhi said while solving the question.
Aman shifted his focus towards Surbhi. Ekansh also started to watch what she is doing. But instead of watching the question he started watching her or you can say staring her.
"See it's that simple." Surbhi said while putting the pen down.
"For you." Aman said and rolled his eyes.
"It's simple for everyone who have
brain." Surbhi said.
"He is right. You have studied all this before that's why it's easy for you." Ekansh took stand for Aman.
"Ekansh sir you should not support him in wrong matters." Surbhi said.
"It's just I don't like maths." Aman said.
"You hate maths?? You can't be my brother." Surbhi looked at him with judging expression.
"Well only aliens like you like maths." Aman said.
"You-" Surbhi was about to say but her phone rang.
Her face lighten up when she saw the call was from Disha.
Surbhi took her phone and move out of the room. When she went out of the room Ekansh and Aman looked at each other.
"She is weird." Aman said.
"I definitely agree." Ekansh responded.
"Let's sit Jiju." Aman said and they both sat on the bed.
"Sometimes I wonder why she is so weird." Aman said.
"Not weird just different." Ekansh said.
"Nah she is." Aman said.
"And what makes her weird?" Ekansh asked raising his eyebrows.
"Everything. She talks more than a normal person should talk. She always read novels and write something in her dairy. And most importantly she likes maths." Aman said.
"But i don't think she talks more." Ekansh said.
"She does. But not to everyone since her breakup." Aman said.
"Breakup?" Ekansh asked.
"Yes. From her childhood best friend who broke the friendship because her so called boyfriend told that he don't like Surbhi di." Aman said.
"You know she used to cry very much. She was her only friend. And you know that's why she don't make anyone her friend." Aman said.
"But Surbhi and Arjun are her friends." Ekansh said.
"Then she must have felt comfortable around them." Aman said with a smile.
"Jiju, tell me about yourself." Aman asked.
"Um.. There's nothing to tell.. I only sit in my office the whole day and work." Ekansh said.
"Haww.. Your boss is so bad. He makes you work this long." Aman said.
"I'm the boss." Ekansh casually said.
"Really? Of which companies?" Aman asked with excitement in his eyes. Aman was always interested in business world.
"Raghuvanshi group." Ekansh remarked.
"WHAT???" Aman shouted.
"You heard it right little boy." Ekansh said.
"Your company is one of the top company in the country." Aman said.
"It is." Ekansh proudly said.
"Can i take a photo with you? I am going to flex in front of my friends." Aman said with a little smirk.
"Haha why not! But I am not that handsome." Ekansh said.
"If you aren't handsome than I am potato." Aman said.
"Can you give me your phone? I don't have phone so and Di is not here." Aman said.
Ekansh took out his phone and give it to Aman.
Aman opened the phone as there was no lock in his phone. And clicked some photos.
"Thank you. Please send this photo on Di's number." Aman said.
"Okay." Ekansh said and started scrolling to find Surbhi's number.
He stopped his finger when he saw 'Ms.Sharma' on the screen.
He first sent the photos and than edit the name and saved it as 'Mrs.Raghuvanshi'.Now Ekansh was finally satisfied.
"Ohh.. It's time of my tution.I should go." Aman said and started packing his bag.
"By the way Jiju don't tell didi that I told you about her friend ok." Aman said and quickly left with his bagpack.
Ekansh too moved out of the room. He went towards Surbhi's room.
.
.
He entered the room and saw Surbhi was engrossed in a book. He decided not to disturb her so he sat on the sofa there and started scrolling his phone. Surbhi noticed his presence but didn't said anything.
After half hour.
"Aren't you done?" Ekansh said in a irritated tone.
"Done from what?" Surbhi asked.
"That book. C'mon i am getting bored. Mom didn't even let me bring my laptop." Ekansh said. Surbhi understand he was missing his laptop. An idea popped in her head.
"Ekansh sir, let's go." Surbhi said.
"Where?" Ekansh asked.
"I have something to show you." Surbhi said.
"Ok." Ekansh said and stood up from his place.
"Wait outside. I am coming in five minutes after changing." Surbhi said. Ekansh nodded and went out.
Surbhi get up from the bed and grabbed a Kurti from her wardrobe.
She came out of the room. Ekansh was walking from side to side near the room.
"Ready. Let's go." Surbhi said.
Ekansh looked at her for a good seconds.
"Yes let's go." Ekansh said.
They went downstairs.
"Maa, I am taking Ekansh si-" Surbhi was shouting but Ekansh covered her mouth stopping her to speak further.
"Atleast stop calling me sir in front of your parents." Ekansh said.
Poor Ekansh is sir-zoned.
"Umm... " Surbhi wasn't able to speak because her mouth was covered. Ekansh removed his hands.
"Right." Surbhi said.
"What were you saying Surbhi?" Radhika came after hearing Surbhi shouting.
"Maa, We are going to eat pani-puri." Surbhi said.
"Ok.But come before dinner." Radhika said.
Surbhi nodded and left with Ekansh.
"By the way Why Disha called you?" Ekansh started a conversation.
"She was just missing me so." Surbhi said.
"Where are you taking me?" Ekansh asked when he saw many people staring him.
"Just come." Surbhi said.
They said and reached the market area where many food stalls were standing.
She took him to the pani-puri store first.
"Bhaiya doo laga dena." Surbhi said to the seller.
(Brother, two plates.)
"I'm not eating." Ekansh said.
"But why? It's so tasty Ekansh sir." Surbhi said.
"It's not hygienic." Ekansh said.
"Ok then. Don't eat." Surbhi said and grabbed a plate from seller's hand.
"Bhaiya inka choro. Muje toh do." Surbhi said waiting for her pani puri.
(Leave him and give that to me.)
"Ji."
Then he started giving her pani-puri.
"Ekansh sir try one. You won't regret." Surbhi said with mouth filled on pani puri.
"I don't want to." Ekansh said and turned his head.
"Sir just one. Please." Surbhi said and showed him puppy eyes.
Ekansh understood she will not left him until he eat. "Ok just one." He said.
"Ok." Surbhi said and put a pani puri near his mouth.
"Eat fast. I also have to eat." Surbhi said and pushed that pani puri which was on her hands to his mouth.
"Tasty?" Surbhi asked.
"Um.. Good." Ekansh said while munching his food.
"Do you want more?" Surbhi asked.
"No... And if you are done then let's go." Ekansh said.
"Ok ok. Let me eat this one." Surbhi said and put that pani puri in her mouths.
"Kitna hua bhaiya?" She asked.
(How much?)
"50 de dijiye." He said.
(Fifty rupees.)
"Ok." Surbhi said and checked her bag.
"I will pay." Ekansh said and took out his black card to pay.
"Ekansh sir.. What are you doing? I can pay." Surbhi said and handled the seller fifty rupee note.
"But i was paying." Ekansh said.
"Let's go." Surbhi said but when Ekansh didn't moved from his place she grabbed his arms and started dragging him.
"Hey hey stop." Ekansh said when they came at some distance.
Surbhi let go of his hands.
"Hey, I told you to stop dragging me not to leave my hands." Ekansh said.
"Hein?" Surbhi said.
Ekansh didn't said anything. He took her hands and placed on his arms where she was grabbing sometime before.
"Now let's go." Ekansh said. Surbhi looked at him with confusion In her eyes.
"His behavior will give me heart attack for sure." Surbhi thought.
"Hmm... Let's go." Surbhi said and they both Started walking with hands in hands.
