he sings like the summer sun

warming up your skin from outside

he sings like the light piercing

through the dense canopy of grey clouds

he sings like the smile of a lover

first thing in the morning

he sings like the heart falling so helplessly

without any warning

he sings like the tint of tang in the air

as one peel off the tangerines

he sings like the fragile branches

dancing to the melodies of winds

he sings like the ocean tides

caressing the worn out feet

he sings like a couple dancing in midnight

without any music or beats

he sings like the bitter taste of coffee

that one dearly love

he sings like sitting by the window

and reciting the poetry to the moon above

the world collapses amid chaos

but i focus at his voice that feels like an intoxicating drink

by his side i find my pieces of peace

when i listen him sing

"Should we go? What if they argue again? Dhriti's temper isn't pleasant when it comes to Aadarsh," I said, worry etched on my face ever since they both left through the door.

"Don't worry, she'll be fine," Saara reassured me.

"But what does he need to talk to her about?" I asked, curiosity gnawing at me.

"Who knows? Maybe he's going to apologize," Saara suggested.

"Yeah, he is," Shivam said, walking towards us.

"Are you kidding me?" I added obviously.

"Well, of course he wasn't going to, but I told him that he went a little overboard with her that day. Honestly, I didn't expect it, but somehow he agreed. Hopefully, Dhriti won't act rude to his apology," Shivam explained.

"No, I don't think so. As much as Aadarsh's behavior gets on her nerves, deep down she misses their bond," I said, knowing how she smiles whenever she talks about their friendship. I have always admired this thing about Dhriti - the way she gives her all to the people she cares about. 

Aadarsh and Dhriti burst through the classroom door, her laughter ringing through the air as Aadarsh simply grinned . A wave of relief washed over me as I watched them. The tension between us all dissipated, replaced by a comforting sense of peace.

They took their seats, and Saara and I swiveled around to face Dhriti, our eyes wide with anticipation. "What happened?" I whispered, careful not to let Aadarsh overhear.

"Nothing much," she said. "He apologized and explained the situation with your number. I apologized too, and everything is alright now."

Saara let out a sigh of relief. "Thank God," she murmured
