Later that evening around 6:30 all the kids in the colony gathered together and barged into Naina's house. Spreading in different directions they started calling her name.

"Naina."

"Naina."

"Naina."

"What happened now kids?" Rohan (Naina's father) who was sitting on the couch along with Reyan asked chuckling.

"We will tell later uncle. First tell us where is she," they asked.

"I'm here. What happened to you guys?" Naina asked, hopping down from the stairs.

"Naina, you lost the bet. You have to give us a treat," they asked, going towards her direction surrounding her.

"What bet?" She asked.

"Forgot? You said if we succeed in applying colors to you on Holi you will give a treat. We applied colors on you. You have to give a treat," a little girl asked.

"Kids if you want a treat you can ask me directly, for that you no need to lie, saying that you guys applied colors to me," she said, pinching the bridge of her nose.

"We applied," they replied sternly together.

"No, you didn't," she retarded back.

"We know that you won't believe us and that is the reason why we took a picture when applying colors to you on that day. Wait, we will show you." A boy said and turned towards another girl, "Pinky show it to her."

Pinky showed her a photo in her mobile in which Ashish was applying color on her face looking at her intensely. Seeing the photo Naina's face heated up and her nose became cold.

Was he here on that day?

"What happened that day?" She asked, glaring at them. They dragged her to the lawn and described her mixing bhang in her laddus and she, running away from them and bumping into Ashish and then Ashish applying the colors.

"Ashish, you are going to be dead today," she muttered to herself.

"WhatsApp me the pic immediately. I'll give you the treat next weekend," saying this to the kids she stomped away from there with rage. Not understanding what she is going to do the kids shrugged their shoulders looking at each other. Then pinky sent her the pic through WhatsApp.

That idiot won't change at all. How could he? He is like this, by birth. Then how can he change? He applied colors to me so that I would lose the bet. I'm so going to kill him today. She went towards Ashish's home cursing him under her breath.

Stupid! Idiot! Dirty Donkey! Argh! He came here just to torture me again and acting as if he is trying to be friendly. And she strode into his house with a grumpy face, but she forgot why she went there by seeing the person in front of her.

"Shruti?" She asked slowly with confusion. There sat Shruti along with Ritu, Sanjay (Ashish's mom & dad), Ayush and Ashish. They turned towards her and beamed with happiness.

"Naina!" They all said in unison except Ashish. Shruti ran towards her, squealing her name and took her into a bear hug.

"Oh My God! Shruti!" Naina shrieked and hugged her back. "What are you doing here? It's been so long since I have last seen you. When did you come? But you didn't tell me that you were coming."
