My Indian Treasure

Chapter-4

Ananya's POV

Have you ever experienced the excitement that seep through your skin and throughout the body, the feel of freedom, and the feel of floating on top of the world?... No?. Well right now, I am experiencing it. I have wanted to do this for a long time. But today I got to fulfill it. I am riding a motorcycle in the busy streets of Chennai, the beach road at a maximum speed limit. Maybe exceeding the limit, but what's the thrill if you follow all the rules. The real fun is in breaking it. I am riding the latest version of R15. Of course it's not mine. It's Arvi's baby. He never allows anyone to touch it. But you know.. no one can resist the puppy dog eyes and cuteness of Ananya.

"Woah...kitty, I think you should slow down or else we will spend our night locked up in the local police station and you'll never get to go to your heaven." I was not even able to get what he told because of the air rushing past us and making our voices quiver. "Woo hoo this is awesome Arvi , I don't want to stop at all. I don't even feel like going to the library now. I just want to ride in this endlessly. It's been a long time since I was this happy.

"I am happy that you're enjoying this kitty, but I am leaving tomorrow. So there's hell lot of work for me to finish before I am leaving and I didn't even start packing. Someone told me that they will help me in packing, but I know that promise was for the walls." rolling his eyes at me, he continued "If we go to library fast and then finish with the dinner soon,then it'll be the biggest help that you'll do to me..pleaseeee!" Arvi begged me. Okay I feel pity for this boy. Since he's leaving tomorrow, I am gonna do what he says. Anyways after two weeks he's again coming to Chennai. That time, I'll have him for myself for sure. I stopped roaming in the beach road and went to the library.

Stephie my another best friend from school was already waiting for us. She's actually just like me in everything. Some even think that we both are sisters. We resemble each other both physically and mentally. Maybe because of that only we became too close , I don't know. But unlike me, Stephie has a boyfriend and they both have been dating for six years now.

"Hey baby , I missed you" Steph ran to me and hugged me the minute I got down from the bike. I hugged her back and told "I missed you too baby. How was your date with Akshay and how's he ?"

"Haa, it was as usual...nothing interesting and yeah he's great." She told and was still hugging me.

"I seriously recommend you both to check whether you both are not Lesbos, because poor boy Akshay really loves you Steph. Don't cheat  him." Arvi told and scrunched his nose looking at us. I just laughed at his remark.

"Oh common Arvind, you're just jealous that you can't hug us like this." Steph showed her tongue to him. Seriously, how much ever old we may become, we will never grow up. "Hey monkey, here catch this" she threw a jewelry box at Arvi "it's for Aishu. She was hell bent on buying this. Give it to her as a birthday present from me. No..no, don't thank me. I know I'm great." Saying this, she dragged me inside the library. Aishu is Arvi's girlfriend in Bangalore. Arvi was just standing there..smiling and shaking his head looking at us.

I have been reading lots and lots of romance, fantasy and werewolf books and novels. I want a change. So now I'm gonna concentrate on sci-fi books. It's been long since I read them.

I have been roaming in the sci-fi section for a long time and still did not find any book interesting. Steph and Aru both are sitting at the reading table.

"Hey," it's Steph, she came to me with my phone "Prithick has been calling you continuously. I tried to ignore him but damn girl! Within ten minutes, he called eight times. Just talk to him or else he's not going to leave you alone. Also Arvi is pissed seeing his caller ID." She told with a straight face. It indicates that she's also not happy with him calling me continuously. I don't get it why, but both Steph and Arvi hate Prithick from the moment I introduced him. Even my sis Tara hates him. Maybe the fact that, he continuously tries to hit on me irks them or I don't know but they hate him. He seems to be a  nice guy actually. I like him except for his constant flirting. I take my phone from her and switch it off. So that no one disturbs me when I'm in my heaven. Steph gives me a naughty smile.
