~Aadya's POV~

"Accha, Aadu go and change now!" Rudraksha Bhaiya said huffing due to the continuous laughing.

I went upstairs and touched the knob of the door. I closed my eyes sighing due to the previous embarrassment.

I went inside my room and the cognizant fragrant of lavender filled my nostrils refreshing my mind.

I changed into my comfy pairs and went back downstairs. I looked around to see if there was any space left for me to sit.

I found a seat between Arya Bhai and Vyan. I went there and settled between them. I looked at Arya Bhai who was scrolling through his phone and typing to someone.

I peeped in a little to have a clearer look at the name but before that he shut the screen.

I smacked his arm. “ouch!” He winced in pain as if someone has hammered it.

"You witch!" He said caressing his arm.

"You mannerless wizard!" I said hitting his toes with my leg. He gave me a death stare which I ignored.

Instead, I flipped my hairs on his face.

*1 hour later

I saw everyone was watching the movie with utmost concentration.

If they would've showed same interest in study, then they wouldn't have been here!

I shifted in my place a little. Arya Bhai looked at me and said,“God mein baith ja meri” All of them turned to look at us.

I smirked at him and said,“Mai toh baith bhi sakti hu, Chhoti Behen jo hu.” I said sitting on his lap. “Mera pyaara Bhai” I said wrapping my arms around his neck.

“Aaaa...uth ja haathi ki maa, vrna aaj mai upar pahunch jaunga!!” He yelled pushing me aside.

I smacked him and scooted a little towards Avyansh. He gave me a bright smile.

Aww...so sweet of him and look at this twin of my mine, buffalo!

I again kept my leg at Arya Bhai's lap due to pain in my back.

Hayeee re! Mera budhaapa!

I expected him to massage it but how can he do that? After all I'm not his crush.

“Aadu, mai zameen pe baith jau?" He asked diverting everyone's attention towards us.

But before I could respond, Agastya said “Di, Bhaiya, will you both stop fighting and watch quietly.”

“Aree...you see her she's disturbing” Arya Bhai complained.

“Bhaiya, ask him to shut his mouth or I will pull out all his hairs.” I said grabbing his hairs.

Avyansh took off my hand from his hairs.

“You bada packet and Chota packet, stop it now and sit quietly ” Rudraksha Bhaiya instructed teasingly.

Meanwhile Avyansh and others chuckled. “Bhaiyaa!!” I and Arya Bhai said , annoyed,by his choice of names.

"Aadu, you come here!” Avyansh said pulling me closer to him and wrapping his one arm around my shoulder.

Ohhh Godd!!! This man has that fuckin' ability to flutter my heart heart everytime through his actions.

I felt him touching my shoulder. His touch was feathery, soft and soothing. Enough for the butterflies to dance in my stomach.

While everyone was watching, I was admiring this man. But guess what I was caught. He raised his brows.

I just shook my head, with the faint hue of pink covering my cheeks.

He chuckled lightly, enough for me to hear.

After a while, I felt bored with the movie. To get out of my boredom, I took the remote and closed the movie.

They all looked at me. “What?”

“I felt bored!” I said to which Sid nodded in agreement.

"Yeah! Me too" Siddharth said.

“Two peoples with same brains have met” Agastya teased us. We both threw a pillow at him.

“So what to do?” Lakshi di said.

“Btw Rudra Bhaiya, you know Avyansh Bhaiya and Arya Bhaiya, has been chosen as the Head Boy and Assistant Head Boy” Shivya said with joy in her eyes.

“Ohh..wow!!... Congratulations guys!” Rudraksha Bhaiya said with pride gleaming in his eyes.

“Ohk... everything is fine but did you guys noticed Zoya Didi when Arya Bhaiya was receiving the badge. I mean Aadu Di and Anisha Di's reactions were genuine but her. She hasn't met him ever I guess.” Agastya added with a hint of suspicion.

I looked at Arya Bhai who was rubbing the back of his neck. His neck and cheeks had turned tinted pink.

“Sharma toh aise raha hai jaise iski hone waali biwi ka naam le liya ho" Lakshi Di said looking at his face.

“It's nothing like that but she said that he's her favourite senior” I said defending her, though, I myself had a question on their reactions.

I mean the way they're with eachother, it doesn't feels right to me. As if something is going on behind my back.

I mean their words speak something different and their reactions and actions different.

“Accha.. everyone let's get back to our rooms.” Rudraksha Bhaiya said and everyone nodded in agreement.

I greeted everyone and went upstairs. They all were downstairs discussing about something.

I looked up at my calendar and the realisation dawned upon me.

~Avyansh's POV~

I closed my eyes sighing in relief but there was something which was troubling me.

She's behaving distant since that movie night. Not only her but others too.

But her being ignorant towards me sucks. I feel like, unknowingly, I've caused some trouble.

That's why she is behaving like that. But I want to talk to her.

I texted Arya yesterday and he kept on giving me dry replies.

It's all way too much for me to bear. It's not like, I like attention. But these are the people about whom I genuinely care.

I remember how much it hurt me the day before yesterday.

“ I was sitting on my desk casually going through my notes. I saw Aadya entering and talking something with Akansha Ma'am.

Then she turned towards the class. ‘Class! Someone please give your Maths Volume 1 text book’ Ma'am said.

My book was out so I gave it to her but instead of taking my book, she took it from the person behind me. As if I'm invisible for her. ”

Not only this yesterday in coaching, she was talking to everyone but me. Responding to everyone but me.

It felt like she wants to stay away from me but why. I hate it. I hate being away from her.

I love when she talks to me. I love to listen everything she says not because it's timepass or something but it's like a melodious symphony to my ears.

Her smile, it's the most precious thing. Her smile brightens up my day.

Being with her vanishes all those stress and strain I am going through. She knows how to beautify every moment.

Her eyes hold a captivating view, they shine like diamonds. I can look in her eyes without blinking for an eternity.

I released a deep breath knowing she's the Best and the one.

Finally, gathering all of my hope, I get ready for coaching. I hope so she'll be better today.

S

ighing heavily, I kept a reassuring hand on my heart and went on my way to coaching.

I hope so she'll talk to me today! Praying this I entered inside and saw none of them were there. They must've not come yet.

I went on my seat and settled down. After a while, I saw all of them entering together chatting and laughing.

Why so painful?

I didn't lifted my head up as I don't want to see them. Atleast I've got right to know what have I done?

But still my focus was on them. With the corner of my eyes, I saw Eklavya leaning onto Aadya's side and whispering something in her ear earning a giggle and faint blush from her.

I really want to break Eklavya 's face for this. Why doesn't he understand, only I can be the reason of her blush.

I shifted my focus back on my notebook. She was sitting beside but didn't even glance at me.

There was a heavy silence between us.

She is literally ignoring my presence as if I'm invisible for her.

Her behaviour is clenching my heart. It is giving a sharp and shooting pain in my chest.

***50 minutes later***

Argh...I scratched the 6th page.

"Avyansh, calm down!" I heard Bhaiya rubbing my back gently.

“Bhaiya, I'm not getting the solution for this answer.” I said.

"You're going to hard on yourself Avyansh. Take care of yourself. Calm down." Bhaiya said making me nod my head.

Everything looks like chaos when she's not around.

"Bhaiya can I go early today?"

I asked and he nodded in response.

I packed my bag and went out. Standing outside the classroom window, I glanced at her for once And Found her talking to Anisha.

I opened the door of my room and slam it hard. Throwing my bag, I went inside the shower.

I stood still letting the water flow over me releasing all the tensions.

The tshirt was sticking to my body , highlighting my muscles.

(A/n : ahhhh.... eatable frr!! 🥵)

I changed into new pair of clothes and sat down on the floor leaning on the edge of the bed.

The cool marble was creating a balance in my body which was burning like hell.

(A/n: Fever hai bewakoof!)

It's always me. But why???? I am always unlucky at everything, whether it's love, friendship or family.

I truly understand that she is more attached to them. I was the one who came in between, still they all accepted me.

But why did she accepted me when in the end she needed to do this.

As always I am left alone, I am being ignored. This is the reason I prefer to be alone.

I finally buried my face in my hands. The tears were streaming down my face senselessly.

People say ki mard ko dard nhi hota but at this point. I'm failing, I can't stop myself. I've always been like this.

Wiping off the tears from my face harshly, I've always been like this. I need to be strong and focus on my aim. Nothing should affect me.

I said laying on my bed.

~Author's POV~

"I'll buy this for him." Arya said showing a joker tshirt for him. A wave of laughter followed at his choice.

"And me this!" Eklavya said showing a boys style chain.

"Bhai you guys are literally hilarious!" Aadya commented on their choice.

"Btw you guys noticed one thing? He isn't coming to coaching since three days not even today." Zoya said looking concerned.

"Yeah, he isn't attending school even"Anisha added.

"And you saw how he was behaving in the last class." Eklavya added.

"Aadu, are you sure about this?" Zoya asked me.

"Yes! I'm. Now don't waste time. We have to decorate the area even and Arya Bhai Did you asked Avyansh's parents what I had asked you to?" Aadya said looking at Arya.

"Yeah!They agreed" Arya said to which she clapped.

Though that day, Avyansh's condition made her fear about him but still she doing it.

The fear of him reacting in a bad manner is there but not more than the happiness of seeing him happy.

Night has finally settled in. The sky was covered with moonlight and stars shining brightly adding more beautification to the decoration.

The clock has finally struck 11:50 p.m..

Avyansh heard some firecrackers bursting out loud as if someone is bursting it knowingly.

He finally got up from the bed and looked at the sky. He saw that it wasn't just a normal fire crackers bursting but actually a well planned firework.

He smiled reading the letters Happy Birthday from the firework. But did he knew it was for him.

The next firework made his heart pause. It was Happy Birthday Avyansh.

He immediately rubbed his eyes to confirm that he was dreaming but he wasn't.

His phone rang, he went and it was Aadya calling him after 1 whole week. Smiling he picked it up.

"Please come down!" She said from the other line. He nodded as if she was seeing him.

He came down and opened the door only to meet her always bright and shiny face smiling at him lovingly.

"Happiest Birthday Vyan!" Aadya said hugging him.

"Thank you Aadu!" Avyansh said wrapping his arms around her.

"Ok, let's go" she said breaking the hug and taking him at their celebration setup.

As he entered, the lights were  off and even Aadya has disappeared. Suddenly, lights turn on with a loud "Happy Birthday Avyansh!!".

He looked at all his friends who wearing birthday hats. "Thank you guys! I never knew that you'll remember it. You've literally made it so special." He confessed his inner feelings.

"Ofcourse but the real thanks goes to Aadu. She was the one who was really determined. Otherwise we all were scared about how will you react." Arya said praising his Sister.

Meanwhile Aadya blushed as Avyansh looked at her with adoration.

"How can I not? I would've never loved if he would have celebrated it alone. So I made sure to make it beautiful." Aadya said to which Avyansh realised her words hold deep love and affection for him.

Then, Eklavya again bursted a cracker. He watches her light up against the sparks, completely in awe of her.

"Aree..see shooting star, everyone close your eyes and make a wish" Aadya said enthusiastically.

She closes her eyes and makes a wish, and when she opens them, he’s already staring at her. She blushed under his gaze.

He doesn’t wish for anything. Because right in front of him is everything he never realized he wanted. Maybe he doesn’t confess right away, but he can’t stop looking at her now—like she’s something precious he never wants to lose.
