***********************************************************************************************Okay so here- this story has a huge- timeskip. Yes I know- we do that A lot- but still.

Just keep in mind, they become like now two grown up women- and by grownup I mean 18 :D

Meghna's POV:

Okay.

Breath in.

Breath out.

Ignore the ever-growing pain in my left leg from this stupid yoga pose.

Oh Maharani, will you shut up so others can concentrate? Malu's voice rang in my head.
Jeez I'm trying!! This 13-year body is not very flexible.
You are such a- just shut up and do it.

Guru Vashisth had let us go out today- like a- a break. I don't know I wasn't really paying attention. Malu had the whole day planned and I just agreed to whatever she said. I collapsed to the ground and started massaging my leg.
Vaishu sat next to me sighing every time I groaned.

"I hate yoga"
"You hate everything"
"True. Except your brother."

She gasped and poked me. "Excuse me?! Hello!! He's not taking care of you and your stupid antics!! I am!!"

I laughed and curled up to protect myself from her poking. She hauled me up.
"Come on! Let's go!!!"
I was dragged out by an excited Vaishnavi. I waved goodbye to an amused Mata Arundhati.

***

The village nearby was bustling, a welcome distraction from the monotony of our everyday routine. I fingered my money pouch as I stared at the deliciously steaming food. Ahhh I wanted some. But I guess Vaishu didn't want to hang around and wait because I was once again dragged away from the food.

We walked for a while until we reached the outskirts of the village. I breathed in the crisp air and stretched- before I was yanked down by Vaishu. We were huddled behind a bush, with her hand over my mouth. I looked at her wide eyed.
"MMMPHHH"
"SHHHH" she hissed.

Aishu- when I remove my hand- I want you to shut up. She said in my mind

But-

Shh.

Okay but-

AISHWARYA IF YOU DON'T SHUT UP- I'LL THROW YOU OFF A ROOF.

Okay!!

She removed her hand. I kept quiet. She slowly pointed out into the plain. I looked at her finger pointing to a boy in the distance, who was practicing with a bow and arrow.

Okay- Idk who that is- but he is hot.

Can you stop calling every male we meet hot?

Nawp.

She slapped my arm and glared.

Sorry.

Good.

We continued to stalk- sorry watch the boy shoot- each time a perfect bullseye.
"He's good" I whispered. Vaishu nodded. The boy stopped shooting. He turned and aimed the bow right where we were hiding.
