CHAPTER 9

"Check if all the programs and links are working or not," Aarav says to me. We are going to launch the website the day after tomorrow. And we four- Aarav, Darsh, Ishan and I are very anxious. We are very excited and nervous about the launch as we have put so much time into this. Mostly Aarav is the one who is feeling a lot of emotions than all three combined as he said that he had been thinking of this idea for the last two years, and it had been a dream of him to work on it and open a website.

He has been the one who is giving us direction, and his every single idea is working. We all agreed that Aarav would be in charge from the start. The reason being that it is his dream that is in the process, so his mind is working a lot faster than all of us combined. And because of that, he is thinking more actively and is making decisions faster than all of us.

Let's hope that everything runs smoothly. Aarav is going all the way as the day is getting closer, which I understand. He has been working very hard, be it day or night.

Coming back to the real world, I quickly check all the programs and gives a thumbs up to Aarav, "It is all working."

"Great," he rubs his hand and looks at us, "So we can wrap up here. Tomorrow we would check once again. And the day after tomorrow, we will launch the website."

Aarav and I are talking like before. That incident a few days ago did not become turbulence between us, for which I am grateful. The least I wanted was to make things awkward between us.

"Aadhii," I look up at Aarav as he calls my name from where he is sitting.

"Ya?"

"Do you know where is Ishu?" He asks me, "Today is Sunday. Where had she gone?"

"Wait, I will call her." Though I have an idea where she would be, it's better to confirm.

I clearly remember that night when I found out that she is talking again with that Abhinav. I had analyzed her for few days, and when I ask her about it, she told me that she and Abhinav had started talking again.

"With whom are you talking? And don't lie, I know from last few days in the college, you have been chatting with someone," I say to Ishu as she continues tapping on her phone.

"Abhinav," she replies, "Remember you had told me to block him. I forgot to do that, and in the morning, I had a dozen messages. So I replied to him. And then we just started talking."

"Oh. There is nothing more right?" I ask, analyzing her expressions.

"I met with him yesterday outside his college," she looked at me with a nervous face.

"But you told us that you are going to classes," I say.

"I had gone to classes. After leaving the classes, I had gone to meet Abhinav."

"Oh. See, Ishu, I will not say anything about you talking with Abhinav. It is your life, and you can do whatever you want. But for your safety, at least inform Aarav or any of us about where you are going. It is a new city, and you and I have still not settled very well here. You have to be inform about where you are going, be it classes, or meeting someone. And you know Aarav. It is not like he is stopping you from meeting someone," I say to her in a calm voice, knowing that she can get angry quickly.

She nods, considering my words, "I will tell Bhai about Abhinav tomorrow. And sorry for telling you about this."

I shrug, smiling, "It is ok. We can have our own secrets too. There is no policy that you have to tell me everything."
