Ania angrily marched to her room and slammed the door shut.
The loud bang echoed through the hallway reaching all the way to Rahul's room
Rahul came out and went to her room
"Aise darwaza band karte hain Ania?" He asked sternly as he entered her room
"Bhaiya wo.."
"Wo what ?" His eyes were still burning with anger from the conversation he'd just had with Aarav.
Ania lowered her gaze.
"Sorry ghalti se" she muttered
"Bataya bhi ha bare baba soo rahe hain" he scolded and she remained silent
"unki tabyat nahi thek."
"G" she muttered
"Phir bhi itni zor se darwaza patakna zaroori tha?"
"Sorry" she said her gaze fixed on floor
Rahul looked at her for a moment before turning around.
The moment he left, Ania glared furiously at the closed door.
"Sabko bas mujhe hi daantna hota hai." She said angrily to herself
After making sure no one was coming back, she walked to her cupboard and pulled out an old phone hidden beneath a stack of clothes
A small smile appeared on her face
At least someone hadn't confiscated this one
She quickly locked her room door and sat cross legged on the bed
Meanwhile...
Aarav entered his room and slammed the door behind him.
The anger that had been building up all evening finally erupted.
He grabbed a pillow from the bed and hurled it across the room.
It hit the wall and dropped.
He picked it up again.
And threw it harder.
Then again.
And again.
By the third throw, he was breathing heavily
Three-day suspension
Another suspension
Fine
Final warning
Phone gone ,Car gone, No friends
Rahul furious
And now he'd made Ania cry
He ran both hands through his hair in frustration before collapsing onto the edge of the bed
For several moments, the room remained silent
Then his gaze drifted towards the door
The image of Ania's tear filled eyes flashed through his mind
The way she'd immediately gone quiet
The way she'd held her ear
Aarav groaned and dropped back onto the mattress
"Damn it!" He hit the mattress as he made a fist
The guilt was already creeping in
he grabbed the same pillow again and threw it at the wall one more tim
Unfortunately for him, it didn't make him feel any better
About half an hour later, Aarav finally got up.
