Ahana's Pov
"So now the living room is clean, I think we should clean your room and the kitchen, that's what important for now" Kaira said and I nodded. I looked over at Ayaan he was looking at Kaira as she was saying but once I spotted him looking at her, he immediately looked down and rubbed his neck and I could see a faint blush adoring his cheeks.
I grinned thinking about my both best friends together. They would look so cute and perfect with each other.
"Sounds good" I say to Kaira and she grinned.
"Why don't you and Ayaan clean the kitchen while I go and start cleaning my room" I said and fist bumped myself for making this awesome plan. Some alone time for both of them.They both looked at me shocked as soon as I spoke. But Before they could protest anything, I took a broom and sprinted upstairs to my old room.
On the way I got a call. Once I saw the caller id my smile widened ten times.
It was Keith my younger brother. He stays in hostel. After the incident back six years my grandma and grandpa thought about putting him in a boarding school as he was too small that time and even if I tried convincing them that let him stay here with me, they denied.
And now I understood why they wanted him to go the boarding. He is now grown to a perfect young child. After some months he will join me back here in our old house during his Christmas holidays. I miss him and I only get to see him during his holidays.
"Hey brother" I said cheerfully as I made my way towards the opening of the balcony of our house.
"Hey sis, did you reach Jaipur?" He asked and I smiled. For age so small he is really protective about me.
"Yes, I've reached here, you say did your exam go well?" I asked him.
"Of course, di, I'm a genius if you remember" he said proudly and I rolled my eyes. Did I tell you that he is too much cocky for a thirteen-year-old boy?
"I know, I know my brother is a genius" I said and I can imagine his satisfactory smile.
After we spoke for some time, we hanged up the call promising to meet soon during holidays.
I again made my way towards my old room. I can still see a Princess Poster of Snow White stuck there. I smiled and cleaned the dust above it making the poster clearer.
I unlocked the door and entered inside. The room was all pink. I cringed inwardly. Gosh how girlish I was before, I chuckled to myself and look over the room as I took hold of the broom and went towards the window.
I opened the window to let some sun rays come inside the room.
I looked over the room. It was not that dirty compared to the living room. I sighed thinking that. I need to paint the walls though can't let this pink room stay forever.I started cleaning the room, and dusting the dust while all the while sweating. The electricity management was yet to be done but Ayaan said he would handle it and till evening the electricity will be back in the house.
Once I was half done with the room, I decided to change the cover of the bed. And I almost shouted when I saw a spider crawl below my bed making me rethink about staying in this room.
But then again, I thought this room was hundred times better than the ones without cleaning.
Soon I heard the steps coming towards my room and there entered my both best friends still glaring at each other.
"Ahana the kitchen is cleaned; do you need any help here" Kaira asked while stepping towards me while Ayaan just walked towards the bed and spread himself on it.
"I'm tired, I think I will take a long nap now" he said taking a biggest yawn of the century making a loud yawning noise making us crinkle our faces.
"Yes, actually I need some help with my cupboard now" I said and went towards the closet and pushed it open. As soon as we opened it two cockroaches came running out of it making me and Kaira scream at the loudest pitch.
"What the fuck, what happened?" Ayaan came there with wide eyes and looking at us as if he has seen a ghost.
"Cockroach" I replied him and his facial expression changed from shocked to 'I'm-going-to-kill-you-both-for-ruining-my-beauty-sleep'. He stared at us for few seconds may be thinking of ways to kill us both before going back to the bed and laying down.
"That person is idiot" I heard Kaira say from beside me and I slapped her arms lightly making her giggle.
Once we were done with the closet, we decided we will arrange my clothes later on and walked out to see Ayaan on his phone. Once he spotted us coming over he shut down his phone.
"Are you guys done?" He asked as he looked at his watch. I replied with a 'yes'.
"Great, let's go for lunch somewhere, my treat" he said as he pulled me towards the exit of my room while I followed him quietly because I was equally hungry. Kaira was behind us.
We soon went to the nearest Diner. I used to come here before with my family and both of them knows it. They gave my hand a reassuring squeeze each and I smiled at them. And walked inside the diner.
Once inside I inhaled the heavenly smell of the food back here. I missed this so much back in London. I missed Indian food. We took the table at the far end corner of the diner.
Kaira and I sat at one side while Ayaan sat opposite us. We soon gave our orders and waited till it comes. In the mean time we started talking, me telling them all the things I want to do here that I'm back from London.
"One thing I didn't understood Ahana, why did you come here for your college, London has more good colleges there" Kaira said and I was expecting this question sooner or later. Ayaan too looked at me waiting for the answer.
I gulped some water as I looked back at them.
"My grandma, she is no more" I said and the both of their eyes went wide hearing it. I didn't tell them anything about this so their shocked expressions were expected."Oh my God Ahana, why didn't you tell us, I'm sorry" Kaira said and hugged me from side.
"It's okay, I'm fine now" I gave an assuring smile to Ayaan who was looking at me concerned. I continued.
"She couldn't handle my Grandpa's death for more than a month" I said as I remembered my sweet grandparents and their love for each other.My grandpa died due to heart attack and my grandma couldn't handle it so she too left me and Keith alone after a month. I thought back to all my good memories, they both were my only family after my parents.
"I was alone there so my aunt, my mom's sister said that it would be good if I transfer back to India and that's why here I am" I finished with a smile on my face and both of them were looking at me with a proud smiles on their faces.
"What about Keith?" Ayaan asked and I smiled remembering my small brother.
"He will continue there in the boarding school till he finishes his tenth, my grandma and grandpa has made all the arrangements before they passed away, securing our future" I said and looked at them they nodded their head understanding my words.
Soon our lunch came and later on we didn't talk much about my grandparents but we talked about Keith and myself and also my friends back in London.
Soon after we had finished our food Ayaan went to pay the bill while Kaira excused herself to got to washroom. I decided to wait for them outside the diner.
I made my way towards the exit. Once I was out, I bumped and stumbled backwards but thanks to the railing behind me that saved me. I looked up angrily at the person who was running fast that he couldn't see person in front of him.
Once I steadied myself, I took my own time to see the person whose eyes were oddly familiar. He had crop cut hairstyle while he had a light stubble on his face. He was wearing a red t-shirt with Shit Happens written on it in bold letters. He wore a dark black jean and his hands were holding my shoulders making me glare at him even more.
"Watch ahead when you're walking" I spat at him angrily. He was looking at me with expression of confusion as if he was thinking something very deeply.
Soon his thin line of lips which showed he was thinking something broke into a half smile and his confused face brightened up as if he was successful in solving the biggest mathematical equation.
But soon his next words froze me on my place as I stared at him with eye eyes and open mouth.
"You haven't changed a bit Corgi" The devil in front of me said as he stood there towering above me with his all grown muscles and wide frame looking directly in my eyes as his eyes held happiness as well as cockiness at the same time as he smirked at me with the pet name he keeps calling me.
Corgi. A breed of dog. That's what he calls me. Asshole.
"Hello to you too Bulldozer" I replied with a irritated look on my face. He hasn't changed a bit. His lip twitched at the side as he smiled. Actually, smiled and not smirked. Well that's new.
"So, You remember me?" He asks as his troop of friends joined him and stood behind him looking at me with a knowing smirk plastered on their faces.
"Of course, I cannot forget a dog's face" I said with a plastic fake smile and turned around to leave as I heard his friends laughing at him from behind.
"We'll meet soon Corgi" was the only words I heard before I left that place and something in his voice tells me that it's true. We will be meeting soon. I hope he doesn't go to the college I have applied for. With that thought I sprinted off leaving the devil named Ranbir behind.
Ranbir's PovI saw her.Oh my God, I really saw her.She went and stood away near a car and glared at me. A small smile came on my lips as I saw her frowning face. She looked cute when she is angry.Just like always.She looked beautiful in her black jeans and a tank top along with a long cardigan. She had her hairs open and were flowing with the wind. She has grown them; they reach till her belly now. Back then they were small pigtails that reached till her shoulders making her look cute but now she has grown up to a beautiful lady.She always had a bottle hung around her neck which was one of the reasons I used to tease her telling she looked childish. But that was unique. She had that cute long pointed nose which always made me differ her from others.Again looking back at her she was still staring at me... oh wait glaring at me. I look
Ahana's PovAfter we reached back home, we finished the remaining cleaning of the house. It was already evening.Ayaan went to do something about electricity as he promised. So I and Kaira went to a nearby grocery store to buy some groceries for my further use. Grandma and Grandpa had already put the money in my account so there was no problem about the money though I need to start the job soon after my graduation."So," Kaira said as she nudged her shoulder with me as we were picking up groceries. I looked at her as she had a sly smile on her face."What?" I asked raising my eyebrows."I saw you with him today" she said her voice sounding with excitement."Who?" I asked confused then realization dawn up on me, apart from my best friends I only saw Ranbir."Ranbir" she said in a duh tone."Yeah, so?" I asked not getting wh
Ranbir's Pov The alarm clock sound made me wake up at an oddly time of 10.00 am in the morning. What? 10:00 in the morning is really early for me to wake up. I stretched my arms to let the tiredness go. When my eyes landed on my phone. I picked it up to see message from Corgi. After I messaged her last night, I didn't expect her to reply me but still I waited for her message till 2:00 in the morning and eventually gave up but waking up to her message got me surprised. Woah she is a morning person. She messaged me at 8.00.As I opened the text the thing, I read left me laughing. "Yeah I actually dreamt of you, I saw a 'Rhinoceros' running behind me with you on top of it, and let me tell you that was the biggest nightmare I ever had" I continued laughing as I read the text again and again. She never fails to amaze me. I de
Ahana's PovWhat the hell is this bull doing here. I asked myself as I saw him following me as I made my way towards the soap aisle.I looked back and glared at him. He smiled at me and looked at me innocently."Why are you following me?" I asked and put my hands on my hips for extra effect.This idiot Ayaan just left me here because he saw some of his friend which is also on of this bull's best friend."I just said this is supermarket, I came here to shop" he said and pointed his hands on the shelf nearby.I looked at the shelf and my eyes widened and looked back at Ranbir who still haven't seen where he is pointing at."You need them?" I asked him raising my eyebrows and looked at the direction he was pointing at.There were different types of sanitary napkins displayed there.Once confused Ranbir looked at the direction he was pointing at
Ranbir's Pov"What the hell man" I said and shoved Zain hard as soon as I saw Corgi and that Donkey face go away in a car."What? What did I do? You should be happy I invited her" Zain said laughing and looking at me."I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about when did we get extra tickets?" I asked and glared him when Aarav came and stood beside him."When Aarav is here, then why fear?" He asked smirking and I rolled my eyes. Drama queen."And when was it decided that Corgi can come with us too?" I asked and looked at them both."Why Ranbir? You don't want her to come?" Zain asked innocently and I just glared him."Don't worry Ranbir, if you don't want her, I can always try my luck with her" Aarav said with a dreamy smile and I smacked his head."Don't even think about something gross" I said knowing what all he is th
Ahana's PovAfter buying all the study materials for my college yesterday at super market. I was busy arranging them in my bag.Also today was Sunday means the day we are going to the play. On Wednesday our College starts. I really wish Ranbir isn't in my college.When I told Kaira that I was going to the play with Ranbir and his friends the first thing she did was scream and that too very loudly. I don't know why she thinks that we both look cute together.After telling her off, she agreed to join me with the play today and also told me that her car is at servicing. I wonder how Ayaan knew it. As far as I know they hate each other's guts. I'm definitely missing something here.I looked at the clock on the wall. That bull will be here soon. I better start getting ready. Kaira and Ayaan said they will directly meet me at the theatre.I decided to wear a max
Ranbir's PovI could not help but smile as soon as I approached my friends. Corgi's expression when I complimented her was everything. She looked beyond shocked.Though I wasn't lying when I said she was looking beautiful. She was indeed looking beautiful in that red dress. And her hairs that she has kept open, she looked pretty.I looked back and saw she was out of her little shock and was now approaching her friend who was standing near the entrance."What did you say to her that left her so shock?" I heard Varun say when I looked at my friends and they were also looking at Ahana and her friend."Nothing, just teasing her" I said and dismissed the topic. I don't want to give them any more reasons to tease me if they found out what I said to her."Oh...that explains the happy look on your face" Zain said and I glared him and fold my arms as we waited till
Ahana's PovI was not.I repeat I was not enjoying the play at all.One. Ranbir was irritating me.Second. He was irritating me again and again.I sat there trying to concentrate on the play but no. As I was trying to understand the play where Romeo and Juliet are meeting for the first time, something came and hit me on my face.Afraid of it being some insect I jerked it only to find the crumbled pieces of paper. How the hell did they get here? I asked myself when my eyes fell on Ranbir who was looking at the play looking all innocent.I glared him hard which made him look at me and raise his eyebrows."Did you do this?" I asked showing him the paper.He looked at the paper confused and innocently shook his head in a no."Why would you think I would do something like that Corgi?" He asked innocently trying to make me feel guilty. Guess
