hiding the letter under my pillow i looked at ritika and reyansh coming inside with a cold coffee each and a huge smile on their faces that definitely meant trouble.

abhimaan was dicey about leaving me with "the crazy rajput siblings" his words not mine, but maybe i just needed time away from him to finally step into my new life.

everything has been so scrambled all my life, making me forget i was just a teen too, and i deserve to live the same way as other people my age do, even if i end up making mistakes.

i don't certainly want to rebel but i want to dream, this time about the ones i can achieve.

"what is up with that smile?"

ritika sat beside me on the bed as she wrapped her hand around my shoulder, something is definitely fishy

"well rey was thinking that.."

reyansh hit her arm as he continued the sentence

"she means 'we' were thinking that it's pretty boring here"

i understood what he was trying to imply but i just tried to play dumb, looking at him stutter was definitely quite funny.

"yes, and what about that?"

"soithinkwecouldsneakoutandhittheracetrack"

ritika said everything without any pause making me laugh, i think bro forgot to breathe by the looks of how bad she was coughing.

"hein? kya?" (what)

i continued to act absolutely clueless but i knew i'd burst out laughing any moment, it feels so good to be finally able to laugh without thinking about the consequences of something bad happening.

i had this weird superstition, where i would stop myself from being too happy so i won't be too sad later, i believed that the amount of happiness you're feeling right now would also determine the amount of sadness you feel later, so i used to stop myself from being too happy in the hopes of not having to be 'too sad' later.

i still believe that's how life works but i won't let sadness, overpower the happy life i will create for myself.

"she means that we could sneak you out, only if you want of-course and go to the you know, maybe go to the race track"

they both looked at eachother as i kept mum, trying to create a serious environment and making them think that i don't agree with this
