Two peas in a pod.
Each other needed.
To feed a wish...
To be together,
And not mystified!
Two peas in a pod.
Each other needed.
To feed a wish...
To be together,
And not mystified!
Two peas in a pod.
Each other needed.
To feed a wish...
To be together,
And not mystified!

Panting...
And rushing out of breath.
To be in step,
And in sync with thought!

Never ones to rant,
Neither of them can't.
They have chosen a life for them that works.
Baggage free and deserted of jerks!
And those who have totally gone berserk,
With degrees to academically define...
An absence of common sense,
In their densed state of minds!
Trying to explain...
A dimming light in their brains!

Two peas in a pod.
Each other needed.
To feed a wish...
To be together,
And not mystified!

They don't try to meet
Expectations that defeat
Or deceive!
They don't try to make enemies,
Just to see if they can beat them!

And they match each other,
When the other...
Isn't there to make a pair.
This doesn't matter.
In their minds.
In their hearts.
When such feeling surrounds them,
Everywhere.

Not caring who believes it!
This is theirs and they receive it!

By those who seek,
To pierce their privacy...
With eyes that pry,
To probe inside!

After initially helping her shift to settle, Abhinav and Akshara became friends quite naturally. They both have a soft and people-pleasing nature. Although Akshara often blames him for helping random people and getting into trouble because of this overly kind habit, they bond well together.

Slowly, they developed a routine to study together in the city library. Initially, Parachi too joined them, but she complained as both seemed to focus while studying, and Prachi's bubbly nature could not digest them being all absorbed, so she quit the studying session.

On one of the days when Akshara was supposed to meet Abhinav, he called her and apologised, stating he couldn't make it. It seemed strange to Akshara because Abhinav had never disabled a study plan before.

She tried to ask the reason, but he abruptly cut the call, making a lame excuse. His tone sounded stale, as though he was attempting to talk but was unable. After growing suspicious, Akshara decided to pay him an unexpected visit.
