"It's just that both of us were diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes a month after you guys came back to USA." Aarav said.

"And Raj and Simran are our insulin pumps." I said.

"How did this happen?"

"Well, as you know, Aarav has this habit of playing soccer, so during a match he felt dehydrated and fainted. He wouldn't respond, so we admitted him to the hospital. And then the doctor diagnosed this." I said.

"Then they ran a few tests on Alisha just to be safe, and she got diagnosed too. Later we came to know that Diabetes runs in the family. Logically, if we believe the opposite gender every alternate generation rule, only I was supposed to have it, but the doctor said that since we are twins it happened to both of us." Aarav said.

"And that's that." We said in unison.

"Cool." Asher said.

"You will never understand the pain of making the cake, smelling it but not being able to eat it just cause it may lead to death." I said.

"And you will never understand the pain of eating Oreo and drinking orange juice for all three meals. They're basically the only things we eat and drink."

"What about the waffles you ate the morning?" Lee asked.

"Those? Your mother had made customized waffles for us with less sugar."

"Mom knew and didn't tell us."

"We told her not to. We wanted to tell you." I said.

"It's not something to be proud of ." Aarav said.

"Anyhoo, can we please not talk about it. Diabetes always spoils my mood." I said.

Yeah, that's the secret we had. And now it was out to four other people. We try to act like it doesn't make a difference in our lives which is why I didn't tell this to you guys before this. However,no matter what happens, Diabetes makes a difference in both of our lives and we can't make it not happen.

"Your coach made me run 1 lap around the field. Wasn't that torture enough?" I said.

"C'mon we're visiting a place which you are gonna love."

"Okay." I whined.

4 of us huddled up in Ash's Jeep and made our way to wherever these two were taking us.

"And now, I present to you, Times Square, New York." Asher said.

"It's beautiful." I said.

I can't give a description of how beautiful ot looked. Even better than the pictures.

"You should see it during Christmas. It's magnificent." Ashley said. "In fact, we visited a concert on New Year's Eve last year."

"Where are the rest of the people?" Aarav asked.

"Starbucks." Ashley answered. "We are late."

"What do you wanna order?" Asher said on his phone.

"Sam knows." I said.
