11.Beach I

Note: In the previous chapter, I mentioned that Aditi became friends with Ruhi and Radhika in class 11. But that was my mistake. They actually became friends in class 9. I sincerely apologize for that! Dimag kaam nhi kar rha tha. 👍😔

Vote target: 15 votes. The last chapter got 12 votes, so I can expect at least 15 this time.

Yesterday was exhausting, and we were too tired to go to college today. I freshened up and got ready, we are going to meet Isha di.

Radhika and I went to the hospital and met her, she was recovering really fast and will get discharged in a few days.

After meeting her, we went home. I changed into some comfortable clothes and decided to study for a while. I have a lot to cover up. I made myself some tea and started watching the lectures, while simultaneously making notes. I got stuck on one particular topic. I tried to understand it but couldn't. I decided to skip it for now, I will ask someone to teach it to me.

I studied for the next 3 hours and then did some chores. It was already late, so I made myself dinner and then decided to call Raj bhai. The last time we talked, he said that he was going to come to India soon, but here we are.

He picked up the call and we greeted each other. I asked, "When are you coming here? You know, mummy and papa said that they won't be able to come any time soon. Do you even know how much I miss you all?"

He said, "Ruhi, I know you are alone there, and I promised you that I will be coming to meet you, but...things here are not going as planned. It's my last year and I have a job too. So... "

I pleaded, "Please bhai, you have to come!"

"Try to understand, Ruhi, I want to come there, too! But it won't be possible until...next year. "

"What? That's not fair! I thought you would come on my birthday, if not that, then at least come here for Diwali! I don't wanna be alone during the festival!"

He sighed, "It's not easy to get a leave here, so I can't promise anything. Achha, come on now you sleep, I have some work. So, happy birthday in advance and byee!"

I sighed, "Yeah, thank you, bye!"

I hung up and muttered, "Maybe I've to celebrate this Diwali without my family."

I looked at the time, in just a few minutes, I will turn 19.

I don't know what we are going to do tomorrow. I don't know if Aditi would be able to buy some time for my special day. I sighed again, we were supposed to be in Lonavala right now. On my birthday, we were supposed to go on a trek. We worked so hard in planning this trip. Even though coming back from Lonavala was for the best, I still feel bad.

However, the few days did help us make a lot of memories. The games, the jokes, Radhika's birthday, movies, the swimming.... pool... The pool, as soon as I think of this word, I am reminded of him, of Siddharth. He was looking so...good. I hate myself for thinking this about him, but it's the truth, he is handsome.
