Mausam's POV:

The next morning I woke up at 9. My mother is so angry on me. She don't like late wakers. Her rule is wake up early and do exercises.

I did my morning  routine took bath quickly and went downstairs for breakfast. Everyone was already seated there.

Wait! Why is there four heads? I walked fastly into the dinning room and stopped on my track. There with my ma, papa and bhaiya none other than Karan was having breakfast.

"Learn something from him. He studied till late night but still wakes up early." My mother scolded me.

"Study!" I said slowly.

"Hi! Have you completed the project you were making yesterday night?" He asked me.

"Project?" What is he saying? Am I still dreaming or is this true. He is giving you hints to lie duffer. He is trying to save your sorry ass from your mother. My conscience told me.

"Oh... Yeah its almost.. Complete." I replied slowly taking my seat.

"Good then you can surely help Karan in his project. Poor boy he don't have many friend here and this place is also new for him. You should help him." My mother said to me. How... How could I forget he is such a good manipulator. I narrowed my eyes towards him he gave me a smile.

"Will you help me?" He asked.

"Of course she will." My mother replied instead of me.

I kept calm and smiled politely towards them and start eating. I'll talk to him later about this.
All the time my bhaiya and papa were eating usually.

After breakfast me and Karan went to my room to make his project!

Ananta's POV:

After breakfast I went to my room and grabbed my things and set out for office.

"Why are you here? And why did you lie to my mother about not having friends?"

I heard Mausam saying this from inside her room. I know I shouldn't but I also heard everything at breakfast so I know clearly who is she talking too, and I couldn't stop myself from eavesdropping. So I went near and peeped through the little gap  of the opened door of her bedroom.

"I am really sorry for lying to her but I had to." Karan said looking sorry.

"And that's exactly my question. Why?" She asked in puzzlement.

"Because I never get time to talk with you. Every time the friends you are talking about keeps you with them." He said irritatingly.

"But... You... I mean we talked yesterday night."

"Mausam, I wanted to ask you and tell you something face to face not on phone call or in front of anyone. Am sorry that I lied but I was nervous and did what I thought right at the time." He said desperately to make her believe.

"What do you want to ask or tell?" She asked curiously.

I saw him coming towards my sister. He stopped at a foot's distance.

"Mausam all the time we were and are friends, I have liked you as a friend and... may be more than that too. I realized this when you came here leaving me  behind alone. I am not blaming you, but I felt alone. There were many girls but none of them were you. I ... I missed you so much that now that i have found you I don't want to loose you again."

I have always suspected this boy. They were child but I am a good 5 years older than them I had seen his protectiveness towards her but... I thought he will overcome of this once they get elder. But it seems I underestimated his feelings. I saw him kneeling on his one knee and taking a rose out of his pocket.. Is he already going to propose her?

"Mausam, I Karanveer Malhotra. Your childhood best friend, ask you to be my date for the prom.
Will you be my date?"

Thank goodness! He asked her for prom only. I have to talk to him before he goes any further with my sister. I moved away slowly and left for office.
