♧5-OUR NEW FRIEND♧

RUHI

It was 2 p.m of noon. Ritika had gone to market for shopping some groceries and other essential commodities.She had insisted me to accompany her but I denied her politely. Honestly,  it was a bit embaressing to go shopping with her. The way she bargained for shopping was hilarious. She literally emotionally blackmailed pretending how poor she was and how helpless she was in front of the shopkeeper. It was absolutely dramatic to buy anything with her. Even Karan straightly would say "no" if he was ever told to go with Ritika for shopping.

I had once went to the market with her and it was hell of experience in my life. I could never forget that day. It was the day after my reception ceremony. Let's say, she created a quite scene in the market for buying just fresh beans. I could never forget that day. She really had learnt the art of bargaining very well. I shook my head chuckling at the thought.

After raining yesterday, the weather was a lot better and fresher now. I hated summer with all passion. Rainy season was far better than the summer. I usually spent my time watching Netflix or any movies on the TV but today I felt bit sleepy. It was probably because I spent the last night almost sleepless due to Krrish's drunken behavior.There was nothing new in his behaviour.  As usual, he had acted as if everything was normal after waking up in the morning.

As these disturbing thoughts consumed me, I shook my head and laid down on the bed. Younger Krrish was so much better than this Krrish who was now a completely different person. He at least used to care about his family before but now all he did was ignore everyone of his family including his own brother and sister-in-law. He spent most of the time out of home working in the office and came late at night. It was hardly possible to find him available for family occasions as well. He had changed so much and the change was really unpredictable and worse.

Manav and Krrish were discussing on their Economics project for their exhibition with their team members. At that moment, a young girl from another class,properly dressed in their school uniform, approached them with nervous smile.

"Hii,I am Ankita Roy. Actually our Economics teacher, Mr.R.K has told all of us to join with class 12 group and contribute with the project. He suggested that class 11 and class 12 batches should do the project together in group." She said in one go, biting on her lower lip in nervousness. It felt weird and uncomfortable talking to the seniors. For someone introverted like her, it was more difficult for her to initiate conversation with her senior.

"Oh yes, Mr. R.K was talking about the team work of both classes. So, you guys are the ones who are assigned to help us with the project?" Manav was the first one to step forward and ask them.

"Yeah, we are totally 9 in numbers from our class. We are not here to just help you. In fact, we will have equal participation in this group work.You all are seniors and we are your juniors.So it's your responsibilities to guide us about what topics you are discussing for this project." She politely stated with a small smile.
