Vaish: Abhi, do you know our age difference?

Abhi: Yeah, one year.

Vaish: No, it's 4.

Abhi: 4 years?

He asked, shocked.

Vaish: Yeah.

Abhi: How?

Vaish: Avu made me study in same class as herself. It was difficult but we managed as she cooked up a story and said them.

Abhi: Fees?

Vaish: They paid it themselves due to the same story she said. We said we are sisters so that we don't have to live separately. After few years we were taken in by uncle aunty.

Abhi: Ohh.

Vaish: I thought Avu must have already said you all this.

Abhi: She said many things but never mentioned your ages. 

Vaish: Ohk. It's getting cold here.

He looked at her in confusion.

Abhi: It's not. Do you have fever?

He asked while checking her forehead but she didn't.

Abhi: Let's go inside.

Vaish: No, I want to sit here only.

Abhi: Ok, I'll get a shawl then.

Vaish: I'll get it no.

Abhi: I'm getting it, you sit here.

She nodded while sitting back down and he got her a shawl. She wrapped it around herself but was still feeling a bit cold. She didn't say Abhi though as she didn't want to go inside.

Abhi: What happened, you're still feeling cold?

Vaish: No.

Abhi: Yeah, I can see that.

He understood she doesn't want to go in so lied.

Abhi: Come here.

He made her sit closer to him, so that she was half lying while leaning on him and wrapped his hands around her.

Abhi: Better now?

She hummed while snuggling into his chest, feeling his fingers move on her arm slowly.

Abhi: But why were you feeling so cold suddenly?

Vaish: It's common, I usually start feeling a bit cold at this time. 

They sat in silence for sometime, just feeling the calmness and silence around them. After sometime Vaish broke the silence. 

Vaish: I just remembered that girl. 

Abhi: Which girl? 

Vaish: The one who rejected you that day, not knowing you already rejected her for dating. 

Abhi: Don't remind me of her, I was so relieved when she said no. 

Vaish: Not like her yes would have made a difference. 

Abhi: It would have. You remember right, while that game was going on, which was meant to bring couples together, it was the girls' choice which was prioritized. 

Vaish: True. That was a very weird game but worked out for few people. I still remember her reason, she was the only one who gave a reason for saying no. 

Abhi: Like I cared about it.  

Vaish: True. I'm surprised she knew you have a dominating nature. 

Abhi: She gave that as the reason?
