"So? Whats my punishment?" I ask afraid. They are well known for their pranks... What have they got planned for me...?

When they keep quiet i look up to find everyone looking at me trying to hide their smiles.

Damn! Why do they have to smile so nicely? I am in deep shit!

"Well, Choti, when the time is right we will tell you your punishment." Cabir bhai said and i frowned. "No suspense bhai please. Batao na..." I whined and he chuckled at my impatience.

"Wait till tomorrow." Mukti smirked evilly. These evil twins must have planned somethings for me.

"Fine!" I say pushing my arms up. "So, its quite late. I should leave for my hostel."

"Wait! What?" Cabir bhai asks.

"No! You are not going anywhere." Manik says sternly and everyone nods in agreement.

"Guys...but i need to go." I whined trying to make then understand.

"Consider this your first part of punishment." Mukti said making my eyes bulge out. "Moreover...you are going to take proper rest... No masti for you Missy..." She said with a smirk.

Stomping my foot like a kid and scowling at them i sat in the couch. "You guys are the worst! I hate you." I told them.

"Aww. But we love you..." They lounced on me making me chuckle.

Aiyappa... I hate this. Ab they will not let me do anything and i hate doing nothinggh...

"Chalo chalo... Everyone. Off to sleep now." Alia said and we nodded.

Aiyappa aapko to pta hai na I won't be able to sleep. Idea! With a innocent look i get up and follow everyone.

I make my way to the room and lie down. Soon everyone comes to check up on me an i pretend to sleep. Manik and cabir bhai presses a kiss on my forehead and leave the room making me smile like a loon.

When i am assured that everyone is asleep i pick up my diary and tip toe to the terrace as silently as i can. When i finally reach their without being noticed i settle down on the floor taking the support of the wall.

Hugging my knees i stare at the sky...watching the stars. Sometimes i just wonder how much the sun must love the moon that it dies everyday to just let the moon rise...

Love...a 4 lettered word but holds so much of emotions. Take my love for Manik as an example.

Manik. . . I love him for who he simply is. I love him as Manik. Not The Manik Malhotra. My love for him is like that if hi for his stars. I love him from afar. Without expectations. I know that we can never be together. And if i were to think of having a future with him and me being together than it would be me being a fool. Cause being real is different.

Of course he is in love with me too in the nation that i call my imagination. I love him like the ocean loves the sky. . . They meet at the horizon yet are as far apart as we can think. A illusion, a beautiful illusion of love. The sky and ocean seem to be together but in reality its far from the truth. Similarly we are together yet so far apart. If he is fire then i am water. I love him without hoping for him to return even an ounce of feeling that i have for him.

Hah! If only. Hopes lead to expectations and expectations ruin everything.

"Penny for your thoughts?" I looked up to find Manik leaning against the door.
