Tangle of Emotions

Better Together

College Cafeteria
Rahul, Divya, Ansh, Preeta, and Sameer were seated at a table, talking and eating together. They were chatting about random things when they notice Khushi and Karan walking towards them. The two were laughing over something.

Khushi: (laughing) Oh my god, Karan! I can't believe you threw a paper airplane at Ritesh Sir during our lecture!😂

Karan: (laughing) Arre yaar kya karta mai? Tu dekh rhi thi naa, kaise woh hum sab ko bore kar rhe the😂

Divya: Bhai! Aapne firse Ritesh sir ko pareshaan kiya? Not fair, ab woh mujhe bhi pasand nhi karenge🤣

Karan: Ek meri behen hai, teacher ki chamchi! You know, kabhi kabhi lagta hai hospital mai Mom aur Dad ko galat beti di gayi thi😝

Divya glares Karan as all giggle. Karan goes and hugs his sister from behind, pretending to choke her neck playfully.

Karan: Mazak tha cupcake, chill kar!

Karan is about to sit down next to Divya when Preeta calls him.

Preeta: Karan, mere paas baitho naa!

Karan looks at Preeta as all teasingly smile at the two.

Gang: (teasingly) Ohoo!😝

Preeta annoyingly smiles at the gang as they all laugh. Karan smiles and goes to sit near Preeta. He sits down next to her and reaches to put his arm around her shoulder, Preeta smiles and snuggles in close to him. Khushi sees an empty seat near Ansh and walks to him. Just as he is about to take a bite of his sandwich she asks,

Khushi: (smiling) Is this seat taken?

Ansh stops eating mid-way with his mouth wide open. He glances over at Khushi in shock, that for once she's making a move.

Ansh: (in utter shock) No..😂

Khushi smiles and sits down next to him, opening her lunch as Ansh looks at her in surprise. He puts his hand on her forehead, pretending to check her temperature. Khushi annoyingly swats his hand away.

Khushi: (annoyed) Uff! Kya kar rhe ho?

Ansh: Nhi, mai check kar rha hoon ki tumhari tabiyat toh theek hai naa? Matlab, jaan bujhke mere saath baith rhi ho aaj?

Khushi: (rolls her eyes) I'm perfectly fine, thank you very much!

Ansh: (to Rahul) Teri behen pagal hogayi hai😂

Rahul: (winks) Aadat daal lo abhi Jiju! Shaadi se pehle hi aisi hai toh shaadi ke baad kya karegi?😂

Ansh: (whispers) Abhi tak mujhe I love you bhi nhi bola aur tu shaadi tak pahunch gaya??

Rahul: (whispers) Haan toh aapne kaha I love you bola unhe?

Ansh: (smirks) Itni aasaani se thodi bolunga, meri bhi izzat hai

Rahul: (shocked) Sachhi??😂

Ansh narrows his eyes at Rahul as Karan notices Divya who was working on something, scribbling notes into a notebook.
