Her school days

17. Laksh's birthday mess

Author's pov 

Last day of test

All of them gathered in the school garden as the last test was over and now the holidays will begin. 

All eight of them were sitting on the grass and were talking about some random things.

"Inn teachers ko toh chuttiyo mai bhi chain nhi hai, kitna saara holiday homework de diya hai yrr" said ansh with a sad face.

"You can come to my house for help of you want" said krish, "waise bhi mere mummy papa Ghar par rhte kahan hai, mummy Nani ke Ghar chali jaati hai aur papa office trip ke wajah se bahar rhte hai. Mai akela hi rhta hu issliye ghar par toh tu aa sakta hai" said krish.

"Mere mummy papa bhi toh bahar Jaa rhe hai, mai apni didi ke saath rahunga ghar par toh tu bhi aa sakta hai, dono bhai milkar maze karenge" said ansh.

Then Krish's eyes diverted towards komal. She was talking to ishi, anika and ashi. He was analysing her every action. How few words come out of her mouth at every minute, how's she grinning and laughing while talking to her friends, how's she making faces while explaining something to them, how's her eyes are moving at every direction except him.

He was trailed in his thoughts when ansh held his chin and turned Krish's face towards him. Krish huffed in annoyance.

"Kitna ghoorega bhabhi ko, nazar naa laga diyo unhe" ansh said with a wide smile playing on his lips.

Suddenly a loud voice came from a distance, "anika" laksh was coming towards them waving his hands.

He soon came infront of anika and stood there shyly. "Hey" he said.

Anika looked at him from up to down and replied, "hi, do you want something."

Laksh replied with hesitation in his tone, "umm, tomorrow is my birthday."

Anika replied awkwardly, "ohh, ok, happy Birthday." 

Laksh cheeks got reddened. He continued "I... I want y.. you to come to my b... birthday party at my house."

Anika's eyes widened at his request. She was about to say something when laksh interrupted in between, "not only you I want to invite all of you, will you all please come to make my birthday special."

Komal replied, "but your friends will also come to the party and they will not be happy to see us at your birthday party." 

Laksh's  smiled and said, "I will make sure they will stay in limits and won't bother you, but please come,I'll be really happy if you all come at my birthday party" he requested.

Ansh looked at him in anger and shouted, "we are not coming you go away from my sight."

Laksh did not spoke further and left from there. Komal did not felt good seeing him go away disappointed, she excused her friends and ran behind laksh.

"Laksh" she called him out.

Laksh looked at her direction and when she saw her running towards him he smiled and asked, "did you agreed to come."

Komal nodded and said, "you seems to have good heart but I you don't mind can I ask you something?"

Laksh nodded so komal continued, "why are you friends with those three bullies."

"Actually I liked to be their friend earlier. To be very true I never admired them bullying others but those were the only people in the school who used to talk to me like friends, since my father was the principal of the school at that time each and every child used to talk to me for benefits but those three idiots talked to me like real friends. But some days ago I realised that they also used me, they became my friends so that their job of bullying children will run smoothly without any hindrance from principal's side. But as now the principal is the mother of devansh and zaid they started taking me for granted and I realised that they are not my true friends."
