You are impossible. Seriously. For this,, you are crying without eating anything since last night? I can't believe. I said I will ask mom from money... god stop crying and eat. Shivay said angrily stuffing food in anika's mouth who is hiccuping like baby. Tomorrow is the last date to pay the fee if I didn't pay within the time then. Anika sniveled her nose in the blanket making shivay close his eyes to compose himself. There is still time. I try to arrange money. You just don't cry. Shivay said, shuttering his eyes.
What if you can't? Anika asked between her sobbing.
If said I will arrange the money,, then I will. Mom and dad must be busy, they will transfer the money as soon as they got the text. Shivay said.
What if they didn't get time to read the text tomorrow too? Anika mumbled.
Then we can try in another college. That is not the only college in the city. There are plenty of good college here that is not the last college in the world that you cry like this. Silly girl. Say, if you cry like this, then your problem will solve? Shivay said looking at Anika.
Then why you always cry at midnight? Anika asked shivay looking straight into shivay's eyes making him stare her eyes without saying anything.
Sleep. It's late. Shivay whispered, toring his gaze from Anika's eyes.

Shivay sighed keeping hand under his chin seeing the single tic in the message. Anika raised her brows eagerly, sitting opposite to shivay. Shivay shook his head negative, making anika's face fell. Advik is watching his parents face lying on the lable resting his cheek on hand. Suddenly, a message popped in shivay's mobile, making the situation tense. Shivay swiftly picked the mobile and opened the phone rapidly and sighed, seeing a message from the sim company. Anika sighed and get on her foot tying her hair into messy bun. It's a waste of time. I go and prepare for lunch.
Hey stop. Shivay stopped Anika by holding her wrist. Still, there is time. We can wait. Shivay said.
I don't think they will send money. I suggest you to quit waiting. It's my luck, I never get the thing I wished. I get used to the thing. I was just excited seeing the offer letter from college that it. I will be fine. Adu come me. I give you milk, my baby didn't eat fully in morning. Come. Anika picked Advik in arms and headed to kitchen, leaving shivay in guilt.
••••••••
Mwa...papa Advik asked sadly pulling anika's skirt. I don't know, baby. He will come soon. You go and watch cartoons. Hmm. Anika replied to Advik cleaning kitchen. Advik sighed sadly, hugging anika's legs.
Anika wandering in hall with sleeping Advik in her shoulder then she hears shivay's footsteps from behind, she turned her head and found shivay coming inside taking heavy steps. Shiv-
There's no time to talk.come. Shivay grabbed anika's hand and dragged her outside.
Where are you talking me? Anika asked confusingly for the ninth time, making shivay sigh.
What's the time? Shivay asked and waited for Anika to answer.
Don't you know to watch time? Anika questioned confusingly and shivay irked.
I asked what's the time. Shivay asked again. It's 4.30 Anika replied confusingly.
Exactly. It's half past four. We have only half an hour left for your admission. Shivay said.
What only going to college on time, we have to pay fe- Anika said sadly, and suddenly, her face brighten up. One sec. Is…
Is.
Is they join students for free who are coming earlier Or the first 100 students admission free. Oh god? Why didn't you tell me early? I should have gone there early morning. Now it must be difficult to get the token. Bhaiya drive the taxi fast. Oh, god! How lucky I'm. Anika said excitedly.
BTW. How did you know about the offer? I see. There is a bar beside the college. Yours friends must overhear to the offer while lying on the load after knock out. Anika asked shivay making him stare angrily. Am I look like having drunker friends? Shivay asked angrily. Of course, drunker will have friends as drunker. Don't worry, I won't open my mouth about the offer to anyone. Anika whispered, making shivay fume.
Is your grandfather running University to join students for free?! We have to pay if we went there early or late. Shivay said making Anika widen her eyes.
Why are you cheating me showing fake belief? I had convinced myself that I won't get chance to study in college now
Just stop your lamenting. I arranged money for your fee. Shivay said, making anika's eyes pop out of socket.
You arranged, what? I am heard right. Oh my God. Thank you so much. Anika hugged shivay in happiness, making shivay stun on her sudden action. I never know you are this much human. Without knowing, you fully, I cursed you a lot in mind. I'm sorry.
Cure? Shivay asked, widening his eyes looking at anika's face.
I said I'm sorry. Anika said guiltily. BTW how did you arrange money? Anika asked, breakig the hug. You want money or want to know how did I arrange the money? Shivay questioned.
Both. Anika replied immediately.
Sir we arrived. The taxi driver interrupted them.
