‌She knows more about him than he does.

"I don't know what to do.", Darshan pressed his head in frustration.

"Umm, I know what you need.", Anamika uttered.

"What?", He asked looking at her.

"Wait for me.", She stood up and went to the kitchen.

After some time she came back with a bowl in her hands.

"Hmm, so you need chocolate ice cream with extra chocochips.", She sat beside him.

A smile formed on his face.

"That's what I exactly needed.", Taking the bowl from her he started eating the ice cream.

"I know. Don't think so much. You'll top this year too as usual.", She said in a soft voice.

"What if I'll not?", He again asked.

"Just shut up and eat.", She scolded him.

He smiled and said, "You know me so well na?"

"More than you do.", She nodded proudly.

_

He thinks she's brilliant.

"What's this Yaar? I can't understand a single thing. That's why I hate maths so much.", Darshan threw the pen on the notebook.

"That's why maths also hate you. Once you'll love maths it will love you back.", Anamika said.
He kept looking at her.

"What are you looking at? Just do this problem? Ok let me help you.", She took his notebook and started explaining him the problem.

"That's it.", She finished her work.

"That's it? It's easy.", He said.

"See I told you.", She smiled.

"You're brilliant.", He commented.

◾‌He remembered her when no one else did.

"Where is Anny?", Darshan asked to his friends.

"I don't know. She was not with us.", One of his friend said.

"What do you mean by you don't know? We have to find her.", He got tensed.

"Clam down Darshan she's not a baby. She can come by herself.", His friend said again.

"One of our friend is missing. How do you calm down? I can't take it easily. I've to find her. You guys don't wanna come it's ok. I'll do it alone.", Though all his friends tried to stop him be he didn't, he went back and started searching for her.

"Darshan."

He turned back to the voice.
"Oh god Anny! Where were you? I was so tensed. How can you be so careless?", Darshan ran to her.

"I was with the girls.", She said.

"And that's why you forgot to inform me. Don't you know I'll be searching for you?", He complained.

"Calm down Darsh.", She chuckled.

"No I can't.", Grabbing her hand he started leaving.

_

◾‌She would lie for him.

"Why are you late again Darshan? You always come late. You have to be punchal.", The teacher scolded him.

"Sorry ma'am.", He said bowing his head down.

"No you have to be punished this time.", The teacher said loudly.

"Sorry ma'am the fault is mine. He's late for me.", Anamika said who was standing beside him, "Please forgive us for the last time. From the next day we'll be on time.", She added.

"It's the last time ok. Now go to your seat.", The teacher said.

They walked to their desk quietly.
"Why did you lie to her?", Darshan asked in a low voice.

"So what?", Anamika said.

"No Miss Anamika Singh who hate liars said a lie for..."

"Darshan Raval.", She cut him off, "I can lie for you Darsh."
She smiled.

◾‌He can force a smile on her face...even during the darkest time.

"Why are you crying? Stupid girl, you got so much marks. Then why are you crying?", Darshan asked.

"No I scored so bad.", Anamika wiped her tears.

"From when you started taking life so seriously?"

"From the time I found that you're leaving us, leaving me. You are going to Bangalore for studies. That's why I also need marks because I want to go with you.", Tears rolled down from her cheeks.

Taking a moment Darshan bursted out into laughter.

"That's why you're crying?", Between his laugh he asked. She passed a glare.

"Ok.", Controlling his laughter he asked, "From where did you find out that I'm leaving?"

"Aunty was telling my mom, I heard.", She said.

Darshan rested his hand around her shoulder.

"God Anny, you're so cute. Yes that's true dad wants to send me there but I refused.", He smiled.

"It means you're not leaving?", She asked being excited.

"No my crazy girl. I'm not going anywhere.", he confirmed.

"Yah.", She started jumping in happiness, then hugged him tightly.

"But if you are gonna torture me like this than I'll definitely leave.", He said.

"Shut up you monkey. Don't you dare.", She smiled widely.

"That's what I wanted to see...your smile.", He smiled too.

◾‌They finish eachother's sentences.

"God he's so annoying that..."
"That he asked about your ex boyfriend and you couldn't tolerate him from that time."

Anamika looked at Darshan and said, "Yes. And you know what I'm just fed up with..."

"His activities.", He again finished her.

"Yah.", That's all she could say.
In the next moment she started laughing.

"You always finish my sentences.", She said.

"You do that too. Because we know eachother very well.", He smiled.
