love between familiesWords: 4923

Luv runs inside the classroom and rushes towards Alisha .

" Hey gurl , do you know where Lucy is usually before classes starts. "

" And why do you think I know that "

" I'm just asking , just deny if you don't know "

" Umm let me think.............. I got no idea where she's but Lisha might know it "

" When will she come ? "

" Probably just before the lecture starts " Alisha replied spinning the pen between her fingers .

" Ugh , What should I do now "

" What work do you have with her "

" I just wanted to ask her something " Luv replies staring at ceiling of the room .

-

" Hey ! don't take my food you stupid " Lisha scolds continuously hitting Sudhir .

" Ouch , Ouch , is that your hand or a brick Lisha ! "

" Can you two just shut up and eat quietly , I have to study for exams after eating "  Alisha says as she glares at the other two .

The three of them looks at Luv who seems to aggressively engulf his food .

" you'll choke on your- " Sudhir speaks only to get cut off .

" I'm done " Luv gets up from his seat and also pulls Sudhir with him .

" H-hey , I'm not done yet , where are you taking me "

" Just fucking come with me dude "

Luv pulls the other with him and after a long run  both of them stop

" Dude , won't you even tell me why you took me here ? " Sudhir asks glancing around .

" I want you to find someone " Luv replies .

" Who ? "

" Lucy " Luv says as he looks at Sudhir .

" What work do you have with her now "

" Just help me find her , I need to ask her something "

" Dude-

" There she is , Wait for me here alright I'll just go and come right away " Luv runs over to a group of friends leaving Sudhir alone .

Sudhir sighs and stands there leaning by the pole right beside him .

Luv pulls Lucy by the wrist towards him .

" I have something to ask you- "

" I-  "

" Hey what do you think you're doing " one of Lucy's friend yanks away luvs hand .

" I said I have something to ask her "

" Who the hec- "

" Leave it Rahul he's a friend I'll have a word with him, y'all should go and eat first " Lucy assures her friends and leaves with Luv .

Lucy takes him to a quiet spot around the cafeteria's stairs .

" What're you doing here ? " She asks .

" As I said , I have something to ask you " Luv replies unable to look straight in her eyes .

" Good , I also have something to return to you "

" To return ? " Luv asks confused .

" Mm " Lucy draws out a polybag from her bag and gives it to Luv , " You can have your hoodie back , I don't think I can keep it with me . You don't need to worry about washing it I've already washed and ironed it properly "

" So you can't even keep things I gave to you , leave it It's not my place to say anything is it ?  I'll just take it " Luv takes it from her .

" I'm sorry Luv , for earlier I-I didn't mean to hurt you I- " Lucy explains with panicked eyes , holding Luv's hand .

" W-why are u sorry feelings are not in one's hand are they , these things can change anytime I'm glad your feelings changed before mine could . I-I didn't love you or anything " Luv explains as he slowly removes the others hand from over his avoiding the look in Lucy's eyes .

" Y-yeah now you ask what you wanted to , I don't have anything else to say . "

" O-oh , I ................... " Luv stops mid sentence before continuing , " Leave it , I forgot what I came for . I'll be going then "

Luv turned away and left  , leaving Lucy standing behind . The moment Luv flew from the scene a shadow emerged from behind .

" I guess you two won't have a reason to meet again now " Adhir says as he stands in front of her.

" I guess so too "

" Good for him "

" When did you come ? " Lucy asks .

" I just happened to see you two together so I came to have a look at the situation " Adhir states.

" Like I would ever buy that excuse "

" I just wanted to know how he will react to your apology "

" I apologised to him just as you said now you need to do what you promised " Lucy says with a faint tone .

" Don't worry I've already done it , you can go and check "

" What- already - but- " Lucy stutters not being able to believe what the other just said .

" I'm not that cruel you know , enjoy " Adhir leaves her there and heads over to the literature and arts faculty .

He grabs his phone and texts Luv

-I'll pick you up after classes today , I want to take you somewhere-

Not a second later Luv replies back .

-What about my car-

-I'll have someone take care of it-

-Alright , I'm hungry so get something for me to eat-

-Didn't you eat just now during lunch ?-

-I had something to do so I couldn't eat properly-

- Even if you had something to do you should've atleast ate properly-

- If you're that worried than don't forget to bring me food-

- I won't forget but there are still 4 hours left until your classes end , won't you die of hunger until then and you don't even have breaks in between these last 2 lectures-

-Stop acting like mom .The professor came I'll talk to you later-
