5. Returned and Restless

MANVIKA'S POV:

We reached home. I feel hell tired due to this wedding. I straight went to my room, slumped on my bed. This is the peace you cannot find anywhere. I didn't even unpack my luggage. I just slept for 3 hours.

Maa called me for dinner. I went down stairs; everyone gathered. All were silently having dinner. I thought to break the silence.

"Papa mein kal wapis Jaa Rahi hu...."

"Why can't you stay for the weekend, Anvi?" Bhabhi asked.

"No, Bhabhi, my semester-end exams are coming; I cannot miss classes, I informed her.

With that, dinner was completed. I returned to my room and packed my stuff. I watered my plants and arranged things in my room.

It is morning, and I completed my part of work as I performed puja and prepared breakfast. We all together had breakfast.

"Papa, can you drop me at the bus station?"

"Anvi, your Bhai will drop you, as I am having hearing of my case in court, Papa said unwillingly.

"But papa...."

"Anvi chup chap jaa, your Bhai is waiting." Maa stopped me from whining.

I got into the passenger seat. Bhai started driving. It is all silent until Bhai starts the car. "Anvi kab tumhara exams katam hote hai?"

"By this month end, I replied.
We reached the bus station. Bhai took my luggage. I am all ready to get into the bus.

"Take care; after reaching the hostel, inform me,Bhai instructed.

"Mmmk."

He hugged me and again started saying the same things: "Don't skip your meals; take care of your health; don't stay late at night." I just nodded my head.

I wonder every time is it fake or real concern towards me. I got into the bus.
I reached my hostel. I texted Bhai that I have reached as I am not that irresponsible. All these days, Neha and I just communicated through texts.

I have entered my hostel room, but Neha wasn't there as she went to college. Now one more trouble is that I have to keep up with the classes I have missed.

It's afternoon, and Neha returned back. As soon as she saw me, she hugged me in a bone-breaking hug. As we have met after years.

"Anvi, do you know how much I missed you?Neha said.

"I don't know because you haven't said that."

"Anvi, you are such a mood spoiler; mein kitna feel hoke tujhe bataya, but you...!" Neha whined.

"Ok, my Teddy Bear, even I missed you," I calmed her.

"Woh sab chodo, shaadi mein koi ladke ko pataya kya?" Neha interviewed me.

"Abe chup kaisi baat karte hai tu, I said.
With that, I shared all the things that happened at the wedding and the night went on.

It's morning, and we got ready for college. When I attended my first lecture of the day, I realized how much I missed. But with the help of Neha, I copied notes, and she explained everything.

And our exams start next week. We are having preparation holidays. But they are of no use; however, we are going to waste them and struggle the day before the exam.

The lectures of the day were completed. Neha and I went to the library to collect some books for preparation. On my way, I bumped into someone. That someone is none other than my senior Rahul.
