"We forgot."

🌀

There was a knock on the door. Ruhi got up from the bed and opened it. Mira Malhotra' s face came in view. Her mother scrutinised the room with hawk-like eyes.

"Why haven't you two made the bed, yet?" asked their mother.

"We forgot."

"We are tired."

Both Aditya and Ruhi said at the same time and then looked at each other and blinked.

"Which one?" Her mother's eyes turned into slits.

"Both." Ruhi smiled at her mother, sweetly.

Her mother looked at them, warily before her face broke into a smile.

"How was the movie night?" She asked.

"Nice." Ruhi sighed in relief.

"We watched Black Widow." Aditya had decided to join the conversation again.

"Okay, come down now. You have school today. Don't forget that." With that, she walked away. Ruhi closed the door.

"That was close." Ruhi slammed her back against the closed door and slid down on the floor.

"Yeah." Aditya nodded.

"Go. You use the washroom first. Then, I will use it."

Ruhi opened the door for Aditya as he walked downstairs. Meanwhile, his sister made the beds properly and neatly. Once her brother was back, she went to the washroom. After taking a shower, both the siblings gobbled down their breakfasts.

"Slow down you two," Mira said, "or else you will choke."

But who listened? They continued their way. After eating, they wore their uniform and sprinted out of the house.

Once reaching the school, they stood there, panting.

"Why did we run?" asked Aditya, dubiously.

"I don't know." Ruhi shrugged.

Aditya gave her a confused look and walked inside the school building, leaving a panting Ruhi behind. She gave him a shocked look.

"Did you get in trouble?" A serene, small voice asked her from behind. Ruhi was startled by the sudden voice. She turned around to see Ritesh. She offered him a smile.

"No, we climbed through the window."

"The window?" came a high-pitched voice. Ruhi didn't have to look to guess who was the person.

"Yes, Suhana."

"Didn't you fall?" Ritesh asked, concerned.

"No. Well, Aditya was about to. Twice."
