the best friend

chapter 7

Kavin was walking purvi home after their movie night, they didn't have to chat to fill in the air with just words, silence was not a problem for both of them. Until kavi stopped as they reached purvi's home, when kavin broke the silence,

'purvi, you know na how much i love you?' said kavin as he gazed at purvi, his eyes conveying the overwhelming emotions inside of him for her.

'ofc i do, tumhe kya hua?' replied purvi, unable to understand where this was coming from.

'see, i'm not someone who takes everything seriously, and masti mazak mein, i feel like i don't say it enough...' said kavin, pouring his heart out, letting himself be vulnerable to purvi.

'kavin, mujhe tumse baar baar sunne ki zaroorat nahi hai, i know it just from the way you look at me.' Said purvi with her loving gaze fixed on kavin's eyes, he thought of how beautiful those eyes were and realized how lucky he was to get a glimpse of them everyday.

'ab mera ghar aa gaya, chod ne ka irada hai ki nahi?' asked purvi, using a teasing tone to lighten the situation, kavin laughed as he nodded in a no, grabbing both of purvi's hands with his eyes fixed on her face as he admired her beauty, 'god must be a great artist to paint such a masterpiece.', he thought.

'hum kal milenge, itna senty bhi mat ho...' said purvi as she chuckled and kavin, knowing that he'd had to accept defeat at some point, let her go as she let her walk away. His sight was still fixed on her until she faded away into the background, as he walked away thinking of how great even a single evening of watching a movie with her was. He just hoped that one day he could just have her, not worrying about time, just him and her, living their little fairytale.

The next day, dushyant and kavin reached college, not finding purvi there, kavin grew concerned.

'kambal hai, purvi aaj late kaise ho gayi?' said kavin

'haan yaar, it's very strange, late toh woh kabhi nahi hoti...' as dushyant replied, deep down his concern for ishita was growing.
but both of them were saved from having a panick attack, as they saw both ishita and purvi, coming towards the college while giggling really hard.

'yeh lo, yeh rahi yeh dono.' Remarked dushyant as kavin got more relaxed, he characteristically, decided to tease dushyant.

'dono? Hum toh bas purvi ko dhoond rahe the na...' said kavin as he tried to sound innocent, but only got a death stare from dushyant,clearly very aware of what kavin was doing.

'hi!' exclaimed purvi as she came towards them with ishita.

'aaj tum dono late kaise ho gaye?' asked dushyant, not wasting anytime. (doesn't he look very attractive in his no-nonsense mode)

'arre hum dono na jab school se saath mein aaaya karte the na, toh ek ice cream wala tha, usse roz kulfi le liya karte the. Aaj pehli baar humein woh subha mil gaya, toh humne socha purani yaadein taza karlete hain.' Replied ishita.

'waah yaar ishita, i'm impressed. Finally tum 1 marker answer se 3 marker pe a gayi, proud of you!ab yeh batao yeh kiska influence hai?' said kavin as he brought a smile on purvi's face who knew he was teasing ishyant,and that earned him another glare from dushyant.

'tu khud toh kabhi chup hota nahi hai aur kisi aur ko toh waise hi nahi rehne deta, tera hi kaam hoga.' Replied dushyant.

'yaar purvi main itna bolta hun kya?' asked kavin

'arre kahan, tum tu kuch kehte hi nahi ho.' Purvi replied teasingly as ishita smiled at all of them, dushyant just gazed at her happily, hoping as long as he could, he would make sure she's always smiling.

'rehne do tum, ishita dekha tumne kaise yeh dono mil kar mujhe satate hain..' said kavin dramatically.

'aur aap inko nahi satate?' replied ishita.

'arre ishu, isko chod tu, ek no. Ka drama king hai yeh.' Said purvi.

'jaisa bhi hoon, tumhara hoon..' said kavin as purvi just smiled at him.

'i think usse iss hi baat ka dukh hai.' Replied ishita jokingly.

'ishita main janta hoon ache se ki yeh tum nahi ho joh yeh keh rahi hai, kisi dusht ka saaya hai..'said kavin

'meri chodo, aap par kiska saaya hai?' said ishita.

'arre hai ek pari, hoon mai uske pyaar mein pagal...' replied kavin.

'sharam karle, pariyon pe ilzaam lagane lagaya hai tu ab apni pagalpanti ke.' Said dushyant.

'yaar main na ab tum logon se baat nahi kane wala hoon, jab dekho shuru ho jate ho.' Said kavin as he was about to leave and puriv went after him, leaving ishyant just chuckling at them.

'hi.' Said dushyant with his sight not at all moving away from ishita, a sight full of love.

'hi.' Said ishita as she saw all that love and couldn't help but smile, her smile that made him smile as he couldn't help falling in love all over again as he looked at her.

'god i must have done something right that she looks at me that way.' he thought.

'god, i must have done something right that he looks at me that way.' she thought.

They both were mesmerized by love.
