I am soo sorry for not keeping the promise of updating on alternate days. My laptop is literally showing me hell one after other the keys started giving up on me, I can't get new keyboard due to the pandemic. So Sorry lovelies, here's one more longest chapter....

                           ----------

Tripthi's PoV :

"Trippy what are you doing on my laptop for the past 1 hour?" Anna shouted cooing Mayur.

"Do you need it now?" I asked not lifting my face from his laptop.

"I will need that in some time, I need to resume my work, tell me what are you doing"

"I am looking at the availability of train tickets"

"What? Why?" saying that Anna walked out with Mayur resting in his hands.

"Anna keep your voice low he might wake up again," I said looking at the happily sleeping Mayur.

He nodded at me and made Mayur sleep in his cradle. "Why are you searching for tickets Trippy?"

"What do you mean by why Anna, that is my place, I should be attending college, I need to go"

"I know all of that but you are in your last year and not even attending the placements then why are you thinking of leaving so early. Did something happen? Are you feeling uncomfortable here?"

"What are you saying, Anna? Your house is the most comfortable place for me I feel freer here than my own house. Don't even think like that and about going back I need to go Anna, Dad called me yesterday and asked me to come home fast, he doesn't want me to miss the classes"

"I will talk to uncle stay a few more days, you can play with Mayur and we love having you here. The house feels so full of life when you stay" Anna said pressing my hand.

"Even I wish to stay Anna but I can't. I will be visiting soon if the result comes in my favor. Pray for my success" I said giving a small smile.

"I always do that but I don't want you to leave so early," he whined

"Try to understand Anna"

"I will but how are you going tackle your Bhabhi?" Anna said raising his brow.

"You should do that Anna, you should make her understand that I need to leave please," I asked showing him my puppy eyes.

"No Trippy, I can do anything other than that, if you want to leave early you are going to deal with her, I won't help you in this"

"You are so mean" he laughed hearing that. "Done with the booking?" he said looking at the screen.

"Yep, tomorrow night 8:30," I said showing him the details and gave him his laptop.

"Have some snacks Trippy, eat some biscuits brought by Armaan or else your Bhabhi will eat all of them"

Armaan... that name triggered the emotions I was controlling. The shine in his eyes when he heard my name for the first time, the lone tear, the way he took my name stressing on each word, the way he didn't even think before approaching me with his proposal, his stupid lines everything came to mind

"Trippy you didn't answer me yet?" Anna shouted and broke my thoughts.

"I don't want to eat them, Anna"

"But why?" he asked lifting his head.

"We can't eat anything before workout Anna and I need to concentrate on my diet from now" saying that I walked out.
