Mine...only mine

CHAPTER 20

Radhe Radhe.....

Aakrith:- can you be my girlfriend..??

Paltan saw him in shock, Aakrith condition is too not good.
Aakrith heart was racing as he mustered up the words, his palms slightly sweaty with a nervous smile on his face.

The moment hung in the air, filled with anticipation.

Advika:- 50 lakh lagenge......she chimed in with a mischievous grin.

Advika being Advika, resident joker, couldn't resist adding her own flair to the situation.

Now all of them heads are shot towards Advika.

Advika saw all of them looking towards her, so she said lowly....

Advika:- maine km bola...or bolne the kya.

So, without thinking much Advika says further, in a serious tone to show she isn't joking.....

Advika:- oh sorry my tongue slipped I am saying 1 crore 50 lakh hehe.....she said making everyone's jaws drop.

Advika is just chilling around while others glare at her and Diya said.....

Diya:- it's not funny...

Advika:- I was just trying to lighten up the mood, sorry.....she said looking down while plucking her lips forward.

As the tension grew, Vandana decided to shed some light on a serious issue.

Vandana:- actually there is some problem....

Vardhan:- and what is it..??

Aakrith:- the seniors who recently transferred here bully juniors every now and then.....he finally drop a bombshell.

"They saw me at some nearby shop with my girlfriend and unfortunately they knew her parents, and now they are threatening us that they will tell her parents about them."

"I told them that she is not my girlfriend, she is just a classmate and college friend.
But they didn't budge and mistakenly I said that 'she is just my friend, my girlfriend is someone else.
I am just asking, thought you guys will understand and help me...".... he said, with a heavy heart, confided in front to paltan, hoping for their understanding and support. Paltan listened intently, realizing the seriousness of the situation.

Vandana:- yeah I know you guys and your nature so thought to ask for help. It's not only about Diya; Saisha, Advika you two can also lend a hand in it and help us please.

And just when things couldn't get more complicated, Vardhan, ever the skeptic, questioned......

Vardhan:- why can't you help him.....he said pointing towards Vandana.

Vandana:- if I can, then what's the issue in all this drama Vardhan, but I can't na. They saw Aakrith yesterday with Anu (Aakrith's girlfriend name) and, Me and Aakrith were trapped in their arms from the first day, so they know about me being his sister more than friend.

Saisha:- ohhh, okk we wil-....

They are talking but interrupted by the ringing of bell signalling that it's the time for the next class.

Vardhan:- will tell after thinking, and don't worry we will figure it out together....

Aakrith and Vandana nodded their heads, and then all of them headed towards their class.

In the corridor, as they were walking through the bustling corridors Advika couldn't help but tease about her persistent questioning.....

Advika:- wahhh yrr Diya, teri puch to shaddi k baad bhi hai.....she said in a teasing manner while walking in the corridor with them.
