Mr.Mine

Chapter 23

At canteen:

All were hell tired and lied on the tables. Aryaman came with tray full of snacks, juices, milkshakes and chocolates.

Mukthi: Thank you monkey. God bless you.

Aryaman faked a smile and sat down.

Everyone started eating.

Dhruv: Guys, I wanna share something with you all.

Cabir: Ya dhruv. We are all ears.

Dhruv: I dunno how you all will be reacting to this. But please I want you all to understand me. I dont want to break our friendship at any cost.

Cabir: Bro, what is the matter!? Are you in trouble!?

Abimanyu: Yeah dhruv. Come on tell us. We will take care.

Looking at their serious faces, Manik was biting his inner cheeks trying not to smile. Nandini was sitting beside him.
She starred at him for making it difficult for her. Then manik controlled it and made a serious face.

Dhruv: Guys, relax. It's nothing like that.

Aryaman: Then what dhruv.

Dhruv: "It's....I'm in...Uhmm... I and.....I am in relationship.", he said keeping his eyes shut tightly.

Navya who was drinking juice, choked listening to him. Cabir who was sitting beside her patted her head still looking at him in shock.

Aryaman laughed looking at her. Cabir starred at him then he palmed his mouth.

Manik: "Congrats bro.", saying hugged him.
In Dhruv's ear:
Manik: Bro come on say it. Spill the full news.
Dhruv nodded.

Aryaman: Bro, congrats it's a great news. You are the first person to be committed in a relationship. Then why you made it look a crime.

Dhruv: "Actually, the girl I'm in love with is.. You guys know her well.. she is... Its aliya.", said again closing his eyes.

Mukthi choked this time listening its aliya. She started coughing. She stood up trying to calm down. But couldn't.

Aliya stood up and went to her and patted her head.

Aliya: Mukthi, calm down.

Mukthi: Aliya...You *coughs* and dhruv *again coughs*...

Aliya bowed her head down.
All understood her.
Mukthi hugged her suddenly.

Mukthi: "Yaar aliya. Why didnt you tell me before even.", said still hugging.

Aliya: Mukthi, are you not angry?

Mukthi: Why should I? Oh that choking..its I was shocked yaar. I never actually expected it to be you. That's why. But I'm so happy for you both.

Aliya smiled fully.
Navya and nandini went to them and had a group hug.

All were listening to this. Dhruv felt a bit relaxed. But still he didnt get a word from his friends after telling it's aliya.

Dhruv: "Guys, are you not happy!? I mean you boys never said anything to me like girls said to aliya.", said making a sad face.

Manik chuckled.

Cabir: "Bro, you want us to congratulate you for digging your own grave!?", said laughingly.

Manik: "Cabirrrrr, he is my buddy. Nobody teases my buddy.", said in a stern voice.

Dhruv gave a small smile.

Manik: "Buddy, you are the first one to enter in relationship in our group. So even after you enter in relationship, you should never forget your responsibilities as a friend. You know na, friendship should always comes first. BTW congratulations buddy.", said cupping his face.

Dhruv nodded and hugged him tightly.

Cabir: "sorry bro, I was just teasing.", saying he joined them.

Aryaman and abimanyu too joined them saying "congratulations".

Dhruv: "Guys, thank you so much for accepting us. In fact, aliya was very much afraid. She thought that this relationship will break our friendship. But you guys proved once again that you guys are the best of the bestest. I love you guys", said being proud.

Girls: Awww we love you guys.
Boys: We love you too.
All came together and had a group hug.
