Reyhaan's POV

"Aadhya said she'll help me out with my outfit confusion" Rysa states while I look at Aadhya quizzically while she just nods

I reply "why are you troubling her? You've been at it for the past one month"

I saw Aadhya only two days back but it feels longer. It is taking everything in me to keep my hands from her. Just seeing her has easily become the best part of my day, it's something I always look forward to.

On the day of my birthday, I called Dhruv while driving home and we somehow covered it up by saying I stayed over at Neel's because it was getting late. Everyone at home were sick worried, and I spent one hour listening to everyone scolding me in different languages and words.

"My wish" She sasses out a reply while I pull a few strands of her hair

"Ow!" She yells "he is so annoying? how do you tolerate him?" Rysa asks Aadhya with a scowl, who looks at me with a mischievous glint sparkling in her eyes

"Oh you have no idea how much he troubles me. You know what the worst part is? He always, like always, takes my food away" Aadhya says as if it's a crime

Rysa gasps "Seriously? He does the same with me"

I glare at Rysa making her shut up

Slowly we drift away from the adults and indulge in our own conversations as the rest of our friends join us

"Where is Sid?" I ask because he is the only missing

Rishi shrugs "Probably in the middle of hooking up" His reply makes Aadhya choke the juice she's drinking, causing her to cough rigorously.

Anaya pats her back calming her

"You can't just go around saying that" Aadhya shrieks

We all look at each other before laughing at her innocence. Utkarsh then comments "Sid is not as innocent as you think he is"

"I'm not interested in other people's sex life Utkarsh!" She somehow manages to get these words out of it

I reply "You're saying as if its a crime"

"If it was then Rey would probably have a golden chair waiting for him in hell" Neel winks at me

Aadhya looks like she's ready for the ground to swallow her.

"Guys stop troubling my best friend" Anaya says trying to maintain a serious expression but starts laughing in between her words.

"Okay okay sorry" Rishi says while crackling up

"Don't you girls wanna apply mehndi or something?" Dhruv asks raising his eyebrows

"Yes! We are" Aditi squeals while grabbing the other two's hand "Let's go"

But Aadhya stays put in her place "Uh no"

"Why?" Aditi frowns while she replies "I don't like Mehndi"

Before Aditi can reply I hear someone gasp, I turn my head sideways to find Nysa shocked with mouth agape and wide eyes. She takes a step closer with her hands kept apart so that the henna in her hands doesn't get smudged.

"What is there not to like mehndi?" she ask baffled

Aadhya scrunches her nose "The smell"

She's so cute. 

Cute? Fucking cute? what's wrong with me?

The girls argue for another 15 minutes convincing Aadhya to apply mehndi which they are successful at. I'm surprised she gave in because I've noticed that she gets a little stubborn when she wants things to go a particular way.
