I let cool breeze brush my face as Nikhil and I walk along the Marine Drive.
Even though I've been to the place multiple times,I must say there is a certain charm to the place at night.
Everything looked so beautiful.
I'm lost in my thoughts,gazing at the water when I feel Nikhil intertwining our hands together.
My lips curve upwards to see him already looking at me,his own smile brightening as I squeeze his hand.
"Hmm",I sigh in content,"This feels so good",I stare at the never ending water.
I let Nikhil lead me onto a bench near the shore,as we settle next to each other," Why do you l

"Stopstaring at me like that."The fools in front of me continue to grin like they're on crack.I'm horrified when the things I callfriendsstart to make embarrassing sounds."Stop it you guys",I hiss.The noises only get louder as I look around, thankful that there's no one in vicinity."I'm going to leave if you continue to act like this.""To make out with a certain someone?", Avyukth cackles.I punch his shoulder,"Why did you tell him, Anshu?",I accuse my best friend.My face is red when they

I yawn, stretching my legs, resting my head on the handle of the couch, folding into myself."Are you cold?", Nikhil glances my way."No. Just tired",I resist the urge to do a complete whole body stretch.He glances at his mobile,"I should leave now."I laugh,"That's not what I meant.""It's after four",he shrugs."I don't mind",I say, but after a thought,"It's another thing if it's getting late for you."I try to keep my face as blank as possible when I feel Nikhil's gaze on me,wholly."What?",I mumble when he turn

"Heard of this newrumor?""What kind?"Anshu smirks,"It goes something like this, 'Ifyou want to know where Dr. Sandeepthi is,findDr.Nikhil,and you'll find her automatically,and vice versa'.""Yeah. I heard.""It's kinda cute",Anshu grins, placing her chin on her folded elbows."It's not",I snap,"It'sincrediblyjudgemental.""Itis" ,Anshu shrugs,"But there's also some truth behind it."I open my mouth and shut it multiple times.The point is,t

"And?",I narrow my eyes."Andwhat?",he shrugs,"We all danced, partied,and then dispersed after a while.I critically assess Avyukth, daring him to lie. He looks away though,glaring at something to his left. I frown, a...junior?"So. Dhruv tried to provoke Nikhil,but Nikhil ceased the conversation down before it escalated?What exactly happened?""Sandy", Avyukth sighs, wrapping an arm around my shoulder,"You know I'll tell you if I think it's something you should know,right?",he glances at me sideways."Yeah. But-"Avyukth pats my shoulder,"Sandy. Just don't give Dhruv that

"It's alright",I smile at a child,about five to six years old when she apologises for bumping into me,in the corridor.I hum to myself,taking a seat."Umm.""Where are we going?"The both of them look at each other.I scroll through my mobile, looking for new places to eat at,as I continue to hum."What do you think of— What?"Anshu looks at me worriedly,and then glances at her boyfriend,to which he just nods.I roll my eyes when Anshu pokes my arm, jumping back a good two feet when I don't respond.

Is the pain after a break (up) and the strength of a relationship proportional?I ponder at the question, painting my toe nails,three days after Nikhil decided we need to take a... break.There's a bitter aftertaste in my mouth.I letWhatever It TakesbyImagineDragonsplay in the background, conveniently ignoring the tap on my door.I hum to the lyrics,getting up to iron my clothes for the day, ignoring the way my best friend is yelling from the other side."I'm fine. I'm alive",I yell back.There's a pause, followed by a 'Fuck You'.Good.

Things wereextremelydifferent from what I had anticipated.The day Nikhil had accompanied me to the hospital, thirty six hours ago,claiming he had somework,but actually turned out he wanted to give me company as he stayed with me for the majority of time I'd 'hosted' Niranjan uncle and Akhil, quietly monitoring as I let radiologists do their work.My heart felt oddly hopeful when he had even dropped me back at the hostel, giving me only an extremely heated look that had me blushing when I asked him why he had accompanied me.I had thought things had magically fallen into place.I expected us to be awkward for another day or two,and then kiss,and make up,literally.

I'm not sure if I have to be amused or horrified when Nikhil looks extremely uncomfortable,having been caught."Uh...Hi",He pockets his hands, looking at me for a second,and turning his head, although a smile plays on his lips.I recall the conversation with my mother,sighing in relief when I hadn't contributed much,it was mostly my mother talking after I had explained the situation to her.I wonder how long he'd been standing there.Did he... listen to my side of the story?"Hi",I nod,forcing a smile.Apparently, Nikhil didn't have anything to say as he merely stared at me.Anxiet
