"Maybe that's all they will ever be-
an incomplete sentence,
a half written story.
Finished ,
without an ending"

Tarun Verma
A 18 year old handsome hunk of his school every girl has a crush on him.He is all...
Tara paced her room, chewing on her nails as nervous energy filled the air. Her steps were hurried, her brow furrowed, and her lips mumbled incoherent worries. On the bed, Shivi sat cross-legged, lazily munching on chips and shooting irritated glances at her friend, who had been circling like a caged animal for half an hour.
“Bas bhi kar, Tara! Rishta pakka karne nahi ja rahe waha! Tu itni tension kyun le rahi hai? Mera sar ghoom gaya hai tujhe dekh kar!” Shivi exclaimed, throwing a pillow at Tara.
(Stop it, Tara! We're not going there to arrange a marriage! Why are you so stressed? You're making my head spin watching you!)
“But Shivi, what if Tarun’s mom doesn’t like me?” Tara asked for the hundredth time, clutching the pillow to her chest. Her eyes were wide with genuine concern.
Shivi sighed, exasperated yet amused. “Tara, meri jaan, listen to me carefully. You’re amazing, okay? Perfect in every sense. Aunty will absolutely love you. Ab bas, overthinking band kar aur ready ho ja! It’s already 11, and we have to reach there by 11:45.”
Tara hesitated but nodded, biting her lip. Her nerves were still jittery, she shuffled to her wardrobe to get dressed.
********
Tara emerged from her room wearing a white crop top, a black skirt, and a matching jacket that made her look effortlessly chic. She glanced at herself in the mirror, smoothing her hair and taking a deep breath. Her bag, packed with essentials for the trip, hung over her shoulder as she descended the stairs.

Downstairs, her older brother Manav stood before their father, who was mid-monologue.
“Manav, tum dono sambhal kar jana? GPS on rakhna kahi bhi jao toh , aur phone silent mat karna! Tara ka dhyan rakhna, samjhe?”
(Manav, you both be careful, okay? Keep the GPS on wherever you go, and don’t put your phone on silent! Take care of Tara, understood?)
Manav nodded mechanically, his face betraying his boredom. Shruti, their mom, and Shivi stood to the side, stifling their laughter at the scene.
“Dad, bas kare! Hum bas do din ke liye ja rahe hai, not a lifetime expedition!” Tara intervened, rushing to her brother’s rescue.
(Dad, stop it! We're only going for two days, not a lifetime expedition!)
“Tumhe toh meri baat lecture lagti hai!” her father retorted, feigning hurt. “Jab kisi ki beti ho, aur woh bhi itni sundar, toh baap ko tension hoti hai!”
