Heartfelt ✓

33.

I am so done with these assignments. Why did I even decided to study further. Should have stopped after twelth. But no!

Mr. Dumb me opted for their first love, space science. Now tolerate the study stress!

"Veer. Come down and eat." It was Akira, calling me for breakfast.

"Coming." I replied before collecting my stuff and placing them on my table nicely. Then I arranged my bed and went down.

Today is the last project of pre term assignment submission. After that, I have to viva to give and then thesis to make.

In short, so much work.

"Good morning A, morning bhai." I said to both of them and Akira looked at me curiously.

"It's trend my dear, nowadays we call each other by their initials." I smiled at her. Offcourse it's not true but I just want an interesting start to this hectic morning.

"Okay. What if two people's name starts with the same initials?" She asked me and raised her brows.

"Then give them a cardinal attached to the alphabet. Like A1 and A2." I smiled at her and she shook her head while widening her eyes for a second.

"Done with your bakwas. Now come and eat." Shivay bhai poked his nose in and I got down to eat. He was sitting just infront of me and Akira on my side.

And just then, Ruhan entered the house.

"Hey. I was waiting for you only. Come fast and join!" Akira happily said to Ruhan who smiled at her broadly and sat infront of her, besides Shivay bhai.

Things love makes you do!

The poor guy had no idea about the glares he's recieving from the person sitting next to him.

"Why is he here today, again?" Shivay bhai asked irritatedly.

"Bhai. You know that his parents aren't home right? He's here because I called him. And what do you mean by again? He was here last when uncle & aunt were here, which was like, four-five days back." Akira said and Shivay looked at her before nodding.

But ended up giving Ruhan a stink eye.

"So Ruhan. What's up? Made a girlfriend yet or not?" I asked intentionally.

And the guy chocked on his food. Akira and Shivay looked at me bewildered. While I passed Ruhan a glass of water and Shivay patted his back to calm him down.

I know. I was shocked too when Shivay did this but guess a little kindness is still present in him.

"What. Uh..no." Ruhan replied and glared at me. I chuckled and carried on eating.

The rest of the time Ruhan was speaking to Akira while Shivay bhai and I were chatting in between.

I got a message so I got up and went to my room. It's after breakfast that Veer went to his college in a hurry and Akira went to her college. It's been so long since she last went to college because of this mishap. Now she'll have to cover it all up. My poor sister. I'll make sure to help her as much as I can.

She's a second year interior designing student. She choose it only to rebel our parents.

And I'm proud of her for that, because she didn't just choose it to rebel, but also because she truly loved this.

Ruhan, after breakfast, went back to him work. Though he was arguing with Akira for letting him leave her at the college, but she didn't budge and went by driving her car herself. I guess he's angry with her now.

That would be great. The lover boy better stay away from my sister!

Offcourse I know. Infact anyone who would spend a few minutes with them would know how big of a crush he has on her.

However, as I was lost in my thoughts, my phone rang again. It was an unknown caller so I didn't pick it up in first ring.

"Hello?" No voice came from the other side.

"Hello? Is there someone?" I asked with a frown.

"Hellooo?" I asked one last time and was about to keep the phone down.

"Sh-shivay?" A very fragile, kind of broken voice greeted me.

And I froze on my spot because I know who this voice belongs too, a bit too well.

"Sana?"
