Her Muse

chapter 5

" Um to answer your first question it's both yes and no , I was home schooled till I turned 11 and it's true that Bhai and bur- I mean Uttara were but.......I didn't feel like......... studying from home anymore at that time  "

"U didn't feel like it "

"Umm .... yeah , puberty hit me right in the guts u see , I was kinda rebellious at that time "

"Then why didn't you tell me about it "

"Huh....U were not aware of the fact that I was attending school "

"NO" I feel betrayed, HE went to school and here I thought he was also home schooled

"Ohh...sorry I thought you knew "

I clss my eyes and talk to my inner self
Control.....Reyansh....control don't leash out , don't lose your shit , he they he didn't knew that I don't know about him going outside and learning........
Let's change the subject

" Oh....What did you bring by the way  "

" Ummm...I bought some hoodies , sweats , turtle necks, jackets, jeans and sneakers "

Clenching my hand in a fist I say  "Wow you bought so many things bruhh" please.... Atharv please don't make me envy you more....

" umm I wanted us to do some twining on our first day so I bought so many clothes " he pauses for a second and says " that's only when you are ok with it, like is that ok "

I blink my eyes twice and process what he just said and answer " Huh...."  And with a smile I say "umm sure "

" Bingo " he shows his wide smile

So after 10 whole mins we decided to wear turtle necks, jeans and sneakers, and as I look at the clock, it shows 8:00 which means we have an hour untill we start our new sem

As we were ready mom comes and knock on the door and asks us to join them and have our breakfast, as we enter the dining room, I spot Uttara sitting there talking to di....

"Hey Uttara" I called her from afar and I think that's the reason why she didn't respond

"Uttara...." Again no response I go near her and call her again, but this time shaking her shoulder a Lil bit

"Uttara "

"Oh ! hi Reyansh, how are you , when did you come down " huh what was that

"I called you twice before u didn't hear it ??"

"U called?"

"Yes he did " di interrupts us 

"Oh sorry.... I guess my hearing is a bit low "
"I'm literally forgetting my own name now , wow nice , wonderful " she murmurs but we- I mean me and my sister hear her and ask her

"Huh what do you mean by that Uttara" di asks , guess she's my sister after all , she is also feeling like some one is rubbing salt on her fresh wounds , seeing that they were not forced or asked to complete there whole studies through home schooling.....

"Oh...umm that you see....umm I have a friend who gave me a nickname , so........in uni  I am not known as Uttara but by my nickname, like literally everyone like every single person calls me by my nickname so I don't react fast when you call my name "

"Ohh.....you...you are famous in your uni " she stammered , and I feel bad for her because....
She wanted to be popular in her university ,that is if she had the chance to

"Oh it both yes and a no "

" Huh " this time I ask

"Like I am known by my nickname more than my own name in the university "

"Ohh...so.....what's your nickname if you don't mind me asking "

''Hey Mai kyu bura man ne lagungi " ( why would I I mind if you ask me )

"Burfi ..." Atharv calls her

( * Atharv was in the kitchen when this conversation was going on )

"Yes " she answered

And we meet eyes and there is a dead silence, which is finally broken by Uttara
"Ummm... that's my nickname BURFI " is it just me or was she happy to call herself that

" Ohh ! " Both of us ( siblings ) exclaim at a same time

After having our breakfast, we immediately leave our house, Atharv sits in the passenger seat as it's a 5 seater, I , di and Uttara sit at the back.......

If you guys are wondering about the driver seat then one of our workers will drop us.....I am a rookie driver.....di and Uttara doesn't know how to drive a car , cause no one let them , you see my family is kind of narrow minded so they didn't let the girls learn but what about Atharv.....

"Hey Atharv..."

"Yes"

"do you know how to drive...." Please... please say no , I hope he doesn't

But to break all of my hope , "umm...I.....do know how to drive "

" Oh....ok "

"What about you "

"Oh I know only a Lil bit " after that the whole way to the university , the car was filled with awkward silence

As we reach uni Avi , Vivan Bhai , Suryansh, Ragini, Alisha , Dhyuti di and MY Anu also arrive.....and our drivers park our respected car in a same line . as we step out Atharv waves at a car and that car also parks in the same line as we parked.... And two boys whom I assume are of the same age come out of the backseat

Reyansh side hug the both of them and I ask him
" Are they your friends?"

"Oh not only friends but best friends" sounding so proud of that shitty fact

"Oh hi "

"Hello" both of them greet at the same time
And Atharv introduce them

"Reyansh and everyone meet my best friends Yash and Kavish...Yash and Kavish meet my cousins He's Reyansh , she's Uttara they are of same age as us , and she's Arundhati di "

And they smile , it's my turn now.... "Atharv meet my best friends Avi , Suryansh, they are of same age ,  they are Ragini , Alisha my friends they are a year younger than us this is Dhuti di, and Vivan bahi and last but not least  she is Anushka my girlfriend "

Anushka gives me a shy look and says " don't be so possessive Reyansh "

As we did all the introduction we see 2 Benz one of from which the 4 man come out but the car was not parked, the driver in it drove it after dropping all the four of them and seeing this our respected drivers also go back

Since they were dropped right infront of us we approached them and stood there as the other Benz stopped infront of us two boys come out

( *wow deja vu , umm... As I am a rookie write I don't know how to give them their flashing entry so don't mind it ............) { Author's note}
