Chapter 21: 16

love between familiesWords: 5163

Luv was ploughing the soil quietly while sitting in a corner when he suddenly felt drops of water on his head . He looked up wondering Is it raining only to find Adhir standing right beside him sprinkling water with his hands on him .

" Abbeee , ye kya kar rha h ( ooooo! , what the hell are u doing )  " Luv shouts trying to get up but instead stumbles back on his steps and falls down .

Adhir looks away as soon as the other opened his mouth pretending like he didn't had anything to do with this .

" I'm going to the library " Luv says as he hurriedly packs his things .

" Are you not gonna ask us to come with you ? " Sudhir asks almost whining , clinging to the others arms .

" It feels like our friend doesn't want to stay with us anymore " Alisha says frantically .

" What's all this about I'm just going to study " Luv replies chuckling sticking his hand out of Sudhir's grip .

" Why don't you take us with you then "

" I'm gonna study with Adhir and he doesn't like anyone snooping over him when he's studying" Luv replies staring at the other three .

" Will he not get disturbed by you Luv " Lisha asks looking up from her textbook once before going back to it .

" I'm different , he doesn't get annoyed by him " Luv smiles eye to eye after completing his sentence leaving the others in utter state of confusion , " I'll going then by-by "

Luv runs out of the classroom and over to the library that must have took him about 10 mins since he didn't had any vehicle on him .

He enters the library quietly and goes over to the corner seat that Adhir always saved up for him but stops mid-way .

He looks over at where Adhir was sitting and sees a familiar silhouette sitting beside him . Luv moves over to his seat in haste and the first thing he does is to ask , " What are you doing here ?" with a not so sweet tone .

Adhir replies with a confused reaction on his face , " Am I not always here ? "

Luv was fast to interrupt the other , " I'm not asking you , I'm asking Lucy " He glares at the figure sitting beside him not even able to him in the eyes .

" I just had some doubts in some subj- " The latter replies .

" If you have doubts go and ask the teacher why are you disturbing him , Can you just stop wandering around him . " Luv says  clenching his teeth to not speak loudly .

" I- "

" Luv , that's not how I taught you to talk to someone, is it ? " Adhir says as he glances over at the two .

" Why are you- " Luv tries to defend himself but was stopped the next second .

" You are not allowed to say one more thing , sit down and start studying " Adhir scolds the other lightly before looking back at his textbooks .

Luv looks around and finally decides to sit between the other two crushing Adhir's feet twice with aggressiveness to which Adhir clenches his feet  forming an 'oh' with his mouth afraid to make any sound .

All three of them start studying not so long after .

" Umm , Adhir can you tell me what concept will be u- " Lucy asks only to get cut off  .

Luv suddenly stretches his textbook in front of Adhir blocking Lucy's view , " Can you help me with this " He says dryly .

" Help you with what ? " Adhir asks not getting what the other meant to ask .

" Umm , the first line over there  " Luv points on a random line without even glancing over at the text .

Adhir reads out the sentence "Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds , Is it this one"

" Yup , yup that one only " Luv replies glaring over at Lucy .

" Look at me when you're asking questions " Adhir speaks up as he grabs the other's chin to turn his face towards himself startling the younger .

" W-w-w-"

" I won't repeat my explanation again you know so listen carefully " Adhir says to which Luv replies with a nod .

" To understand the context you first need to understand what the poet wants to emphasis to the readers as the theme of this poem seems to be about the nature of true love . So if you look carefully in the first line the poet wants you to acknowledge the fact that love is not something that can go away as one pleases because if it does then it was never true to begin with . The thing that the poet want to focus on the most is that no matter what circumstances their may be the one in true love would never turn back or have a sudden change of feeling even if they insist to " Adhir explains the context carefully to Luv and hands him his textbook the next second he's done .

" Woah , you teach better than the teacher Adhir . It would be better if you could come and teach us instead of the old granny " Luv replies cheerfully .

" Um , now continue studying , don't let yourself get distracted  "

" Uh , you two may carry on i'll be leaving first " Lucy stands up suddenly and gathers her things ready to go .

" Don't forget what you said " Adhir speaks as he stands in her way .

" I won't " Lucy replies and goes the other way .

Adhir sits back on his seat heavily and Luv jumps over to him .

" What were you saying to her right now " Luv asks

" Not your - ........ " Adhir stops mid sentence before speaking up again , " I was just bidding her goodbye "
