First Ishq

Chapter 33 [A Family Date]

~~~

|Ishika's POV|

I was spinning my pen, while reading the question in my practice book.

Obviously, it wasn't hard and I got the answer right when I attempted it. That was the last one of my target.

A satisfactory smile crept on my lips as I had gotten each of those 25 sums correct.

I slid the pen's cap on its head and kept it on my closed notebook and practice book.

"Hmmm..!" I let out as I brought my interwined hands above my head and stretched my back. I was strained from sitting for 2 hours continuously.

I wore my earbuds and stood up from the chair with my phone in my hand. A ting sound followed by the message that my earbuds connected to my phone's bluetooth entered my ears.

I played a few dance wale songs as my body moved in the beat of those songs. It was a therapy to my body, mind, soul and heart. I sang the lyrics whenever I could catch a breath.

I slowly started to lose my breath as I danced and sang, having my own concert in my room.

All of a sudden, the door of my room flinged open as a muffled scream reached my ears.

"Huh?" I let out a confused whisper as I froze, lightly gasping for air with my hands still frozen in the air . Kishor bhaiya stood at the door and said something I could not hear because of the loud music.

I held his hand as I pulled him inside the room and spinned him around. I sang in sync with the song, "Nah mai samjhi... nah mai jani... jo bhi tumne mujhse kaha hai senorita."

Kittu bhaiya looked at me with a shocked and confused expression as I took off the earbuds and paused the song. I laughed my heart out at his expressions and he too joined me in a while later.

After calming down, I asked him. "Kya hua?"

"Hum ghoomne jaa rahe hai", he said casually. "Get ready in half an hour."

"What", I muttered in confusion before continuing, "Where and why?"

"Just around the city and what do you mean why? It's fun that's why. Moreover, you all never stayed here for long enough to enjoy in a way, right?" he said and I nodded slowly in agreement.

But I was tired and had another revision to do. Moreover, I cannot get ready in half an hour.

"I don't want to go", I said and sat on my bed.

"Heehhh?!?" Kittu bhaiya bellowed in disbelief. "Whyyyy? It will be fun na."

"But, I won't be ready in 30 minutes" I scrunched my nose as I stated.

"We can wait for you naa", he whined as he held the end of one of my twin braids, swinging it lightly.

"I can go next time too. I can come here from Pune anytime for this", I replied while looking into his eyes with my puppy eyes.

He wanted to hold my other braid but he could not because of his broken arm. He sighs before agreeing to me, "Accha thik hai."

"Ansh, Anjana Aunty and Aahaan are all going too, except for this padhaku ladki", he mumbled while walking to the door but I heard.

"Waitt", I exclaimed as I thought in my mind, 'Ansh is going too!... I mean they all are going too!'

Kittu bhaiya turned to face me and a wide smile spread on his face when I said, "If... everyone is going then.. mhm... I too.. can go." I said with a little dramebaazi.
