To live, love and grieve with your best friends is the greatest blessing.
Keerthana the brat felt this when she was pinned against the Pub wall by her brother's best friend and the only guy she hated
"And what is this called?" She asked him
"Someth...
"Why do you look like you just met a ghost?" Nitin asked and keerthana jerked nodding no as she acknowledged his presence in the empty hall.
"She has been like that for the past two weeks Nitin!" Aishwarya said as she walked out of the room and keerthana glared at her.
"What happened keerthu? Is everything okay?" He asked concern filling his eyes and keerthana nodded as no Afraid that if she opened her mouth her friends would find out something or she would blabber it off.
But keerthana knew better than being mute so she started smiling and looked at Nitin, feeling her Lost badass self returning.
"I am all good but where are you guys dressed up? Isn't like just 10 in the morning"keerthana asked looking at her friends all dressed up.
Aditi was dressed in a white tee shirt and jeans
Aishwarya in a red jumpsuit and Riya in a brown shirt and jeans
"We going out today Kiki" Riya said as she dragged kiki from the hall to her room
"Get ready "
Riya turned around and saw Nitin with her phone in front of her
"Call him! Ask him where they are!" Nitin said and Riya nodded as she called Aravind.
Nitin was currently in his training period in one of the MNC companies in Bangalore, hence he would be only free At weekends it was Aditi who wanted to hang out and it was Aishwarya who suggested calling Aravind and his friends too.
Aishwarya wanted a chance to tease Aditi and Nitin had no idea of this.
"They are already in the restaurant!" Riya said and everyone nodded
•••••••••••••••
A few more minutes later, the lunch table was full of chit-chats and the boys stared at each other as if they had been forcefully kidnapped to this table and the girls being themselves and then there sat Nitin with his hands on his cheeks and eyes on everyone.
Watching everyone! A smug smile on his face appeared looking at how things were moving and at what point he had finally arrived.
"Soo Aravind, how is life being?" Nitin asked and Aravind dropped his spoon down and smiled
"Being great and beautiful!" He said making Nitin smile
The smile on both their face was not genuine it was sarcastic and had two meanings.
Aravind and Nitin were never on good terms and the girls were aware of it but the girls were manipulated that Nitin was at least trying to have a good bond and Aravind was not ready.
Growing up with Nitin, Aravind knew about the girl's naive side and Nitin but the other boys had no idea about how Nitin was.
"Why are you dumbly staring at the food?" Dev asked Riya who was sitting next to him
"Hello! I was not staring at it, I just zoned out" she said and he nodded as he poured water into his glass from the jug just when Riya thought he was going drop the jug down he lifted it and poured some for her glass.

"Hey, have you ever overheard our batch of people talking about someone faking their identity?" Aditi asked Aishwarya side eyeing Vikram
Vikram just told Aditi and his friends that he did not want anyone to know he was the son of the chairman and wanted to be lowkey and Aditi was currently using her brain and trying to find the reason.
"No, I can't say that I have. l heard but What were they saying?" Aishwarya asked
"Noting much the person suddenly wants to be undercover it seems!" Aditi said yet again side eyeing Vikram
"Interesting! He/she might have recently committed a murder or maybe knew the cure for covid " Aishwarya ranted
" I couldn't help but wonder if I knew this person. It's kind of hitting my brain" Aishwarya said
"You have a brain?" Keerthana asked making her glare and keerthana immediately broke into giggles looking at her.
She felt conscious suddenly as she felt someone's eyes on her. She looked up to see the eyes which dug holes in her skin last night still looking at her with the same intensity.
Keerthana felt awkward and nervous it was the first time he had come out in public with her brother, friends and her no-strings-attached relationship person.
"I will take this" Aravind said as he grabbed the panner in her plate earning a slap on his shoulders.
"Ah devil" he groaned in pain
A few more minutes and the lunch ended, the boys returned, and so did the girls.
•••••••••••••••
Currently, Nitin said down on the floor with the girl sitting around him with a pillow in their hands listening to him sincerely
If one thing Nitin was great then it would be manipulation! He does that easily and sometimes the girl's parents use him for that.
"Keerthana" he called and she looked at him
"That guy in the brown shirt!" Nitin said and keerthana knew it was Arjun, a lump formed in her throat and she looked at him without blinking
"Stay away from him!" Nitin said and keerthana let out a breath
As if she did not want to.
Keerthana badly wanted to ask why but did not cause she was afraid that he would get to the point where he would say people can notice the desire in each other's eyes
"And Riya! That guy next to you thinks you're cute "
"And Aishu! That Vikram guy is sus!"
"HE IS MY FRIEND," said Riya and Aishwarya together and Nitin nodded
"I see that! But they don't" Nitin said and stood up from the floor
"Alright! Thanks for the lunch! I need to get back to my place see you next week guys" Nitin said as he collected his stuff
