They looked like tiny cockroaches running in different directions after someone had sprayed the bug spray on them.
.
After running like headless goats for a solid fifteen minutes, they finally gathered in a circle to catch their breath properly.
"Waise hum bhag kyun rahe the?" Abhishek asked, panting and refilling his tiny lungs.
"Kyuki Ishan bhag raha tha." Rohit replied, gasping so hard it seemed he might consume all the oxygen around.
"Oye shane, choti choti saans le, saari saans le lega kya?" Virat teased, elbowing Rohit gently.
Rohit giggled and started taking even bigger, more dramatic breaths.
"Aur Ishu, tu kyun bhag raha tha?" Rahul asked, still breathless.
"Shubman ke kaaran." Ishan said, pointing a tiny, accusing finger at Shubman, who only giggled in response.
His dimples flashed brightly, the picture of innocence, even though it was entirely because of him that they had all ended up sprinting behind Ishan like maniacs.
He had already forgotten the reason himself, but the chaos lingered on their faces.
"Bhai woh sab toh theek hai, par mujhe susu aa rahi hai." Hardik announced, looking at everyone with a baby duck smile, like one who had just discovered the joy of peeing in a pond for the first time.
Well, there's no word like that, but can someone really define Hardik's smile? No, na-because Hardik's smileeeee is sooo mamamiyaaaaa~ 🎀
"Toh ghar jaake kar lo." Mayank said flatly.
"Areh yaar, ghar gaya toh mummy phir aane hi nahi dengi. Bolengi ki ab kahin nahi jaana, aaj ka time khatam hua." Hardik replied with a sad baby duck face, like someone who wasn't allowed the last piece of bread.
"Baat toh sahi hai. Yaad hai na last time Hardik pani peene gaya tha, phir wapas aaya hi nahi." Shubman added, shaking his head slowly in utter disappointment, as if sharing a heartbreaking fact with the nation.
"Pata nahi, mumma sab hamesha aisa hi karti hain." Virat sighed, nodding like a wise prime minister.
A prime minister in brown half pants, a light blue T-shirt with a bright yellow sun in the center, and tiny leeper sandals with 'Oggy and the Cockroaches' printed all over them.
(Mein toh used to watch 'Oggy and the cockroaches' so muchhh... and waking up early to watch 'Uncle Grandpa', 'Courage the cowardly dog' and many moreeee...😭🎀)
"Ab kya karu?" Hardik whined, stretching his voice a little extra like it would make the problem go away.
"Areh, waha peeche jaake kar lo." Ishan said, pointing casually toward a slightly abandoned patch near Mrs. Daisy's fence.
"Areh yaad nahi hai last time kya hua tha?" Rahul said, shaking his head side to side in pure regret, like he had made the worst decision of his life.
"Abey haan! Par woh last time aunty ke plants mein susu kisne kiya tha?" Mayank asked, his eyebrow shooting up like he was conducting a very serious investigation.
Slowly, dramatically, everyone turned towards Shubman.
"What? Bhai pressure tha! Aur tum logon ko toh pata hi hai, ghar jaata toh mummy wapas aane nahi deti." Shubman defended himself, hands up like a wrongly accused hero in a courtroom drama.
"Toh plants mein kyun kiya tha?" Virat asked, lightly smacking his hand.
"Maine socha, plants ko thoda paani mil jayega." Shubman replied, giving the biggest smile known to mankind.
