At Rajveer's House 🏘 :

Advik leaves a breath while Emelia yawns and Varun stretches his body to release some tension from his muscles like Suhaas does while Arika gets up leaving, "I'll get the refreshments."

"Let me help you." Nikita says after her following her to the kitchen while Akriti was sitting silently and Rishi sits back with closed eyes.

"Finally! Done with the numericals! Did Vardhan Sir actually increased the number of numericals for today's practice or I'm seeing things? It took hours, Man!" Antrika complains frowning at her notebook full of numericals which are now solved. Shivika leaves to use the washroom while Nia falls on the sofa staring at the ceiling  and says, "I can see my soul bidding me farewell."

Chaitanya chuckles saying, "It's just the beginning. We don't have much time in our boards, only a couple of months. Just watch Vardhan Sir killing us with his numerical gun."

"Jeez! How right you are! Darsh Bhai warned us the other day that Vardhan Sir takes numerical solving practice very seriously. We better concentrate." Shanaya says messaging her mother that she will be home soon.

"True." Garima says putting a cover on Arika's notebook who is amazing at tearing up her notebook covers from colliding here and there after every 1-2 months. But Garima is stubborn enough to teach her how to take care of it. However, she does it for her as Arika's hands are aching too much. It was so obvious and at a point annoying too the way she was continuously complaining about her hands aching from all the continuous practice but none agreed to take a break. Garima and Nikita were being a mother to Arika who was behaving like a toddler during the practice, like a stubborn little kid.

Antrika nudges Akriti who comes back to earth and looks at her. "Why so silent?" Akriti shakes her head and gets up and leaves for the kitchen. Antrika looks at Nia who raises an eyebrow at her. Antrika shrugs and Nia puffs her right cheek looking at the leaving girl who is too silent today to her liking. She was just hoping everything is fine with her. After Chhabra family, none wanted another emotional bomb of a broken trust.

"Did you notice?" Nikita asks turning to Arika.

"Off course, I did! My hands are aching from all the writing you know." Arika says massaging her right shoulder with her left hand complaining for the 16th time with frowned eyes.

Nikita slaps her left arm making Arika blink at her and says, "I'm talking about Akriti. She is too silent for her nature these days. Isn't she? All good at her home?"

Arika shrugs saying, "I noticed too. But I don't know. If anything happens at her home she always shares it with either me or Mia, you know how dumb Eme is when it comes to family issues. So, her family does not seem to be the reason of her sudden silence. But she has fallen silent ever since we got to know Chhabra family's truth, the day when they fooled us that Avi Bhai's parents are no more and we were mourning over their deaths."

Nikita falls into deep valley of thoughts thinking about the day back. "May be, she is still shocked about Avni's case. I mean, it was unpredictable that someone like Avni Chhabra would be a fraud. She might still be in denial." Arika says after few seconds of silence as they pour fresh juice for their friends in glasses.
