Part 6

"What do I do now? I have finished the bloody test and the teacher wouldn't let me go to my next class. Ugghh. I hate her." Riddhima thought.

"What do I do now? I have finished the fu – I mean – bloody test and the teacher wouldn't let me go to my next class. Arrgghh. I hate her." Armaan thought.

"Who all have finished their test?" The teacher asked. Armaan and Riddhima's hand shot up in the air. Everyone else continued their paper. "Ok, you guys can go to your next class." They got up and moved to the door of the classroom. Riddhima tried to open the door but it wouldn't open. Armaan's hand came from behind and unlocked the door. She turned around to see who it was. Their faces were inches away. They were having a beautiful eye-lock when the teacher said "Are you two going?"

They came out of their la-la land and walked out of the class. There was an awkward silence between them.

"Ummm Riddhy!?" Armaan said. He didn't know what to say after what had just happened.

"Ya Ammy." 'Ammy?' she thought to herself but then decided it was cute.

"What did you just call me?"

"Ummm. Ammy"

"That's cute. Call me that from now on. But only you can call me that. Ok?"

"Ya. Cool."

"So…" the tension was back in the air.

"So…" Riddhima copied Armaan to lighten the mood.

"Ummm…"

"Ummm…"

"Aah…"

"Aah…"

"Can you just…"

"Can you just what?"

"Don't worry."

"Don't worry?" Riddhima looked at him questioningly and then they both burst out laughing. "Ok. By the way, did you watch the match last night? It's kind of weird that we still haven't discussed about it."

"Ya very weird. And of course I watched the match. Isn't it obvious?"

"Oh ya, how can I forget that Mr. Armaan Mallik –" Riddhima abruptly stopped and said "Sorry".

"Sorry for what?"

"Umm… I said your last name."

"Oh that, don't worry about it. Everything is cool about it."

"Really?"

"Yup." And then he told her everything.

"Ok, that's good. :)"

"Ya I know. :) So, what do we have now?"

"We have…… (Checking her timetable) Health." They both looked at each other and said "Oh Shit." They ran to the class and when they entered the class the teacher asked them what took so long and why were they late. They told her about the test and gave her the note given to them by their Maths teacher. The teacher asked them to take a seat and then continued teaching.

The only seats available were the ones where they would have to sit together. They sat on the seat and tried…… tried…… to study. Riddhima took a piece of paper and wrote on it:

The AR Chat Room

R: Riddhy
A: Ammy
___________

R: Hi Ammy, how are you?

Then she passed the paper to Armaan. He smile and wrote on it:

A: Hi Riddhy. Guess what!!! I AM BORED. :P

He passed the paper to Ridz and they continued talking on it.

R: LOOLLL… So am I. You don't like this subject… do you?

A: Nope. And so don't you, right?

R: Right

A: So what do you want to do after school finished. I mean after 12th?

R: I want to do an interior designing course.

A: HAHAHAHAHAA… you and designing. HAHAHAHA

R: Ammy!!! When you come to my house (Which you will very soon) you will see how good I am at designing. I designed the whole house.

A: I am coming to your house?? Very soon?

R: Ya. I will tell you on the bus, ok?

A: Ok

R: Let's study a bit now, otherwise we will fail in the exam.

A: HAHA. True that. Ok bye, see ya.

R: Bubiiee… :D

O~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~O

After school, on the bus stop

"Guys, I was planning something. Why don't you all come over for a sleepover at my place on the weekend?" Ridz said. "Muskaan and Nikki are coming. If you guys come along then it will be even more fun. We can decorate my room together. What say?"

"Ya sure." All the guys said.

"Guys, one more thing. Remember there is a concert next week?" Muskaan said. They all nodded in agreement. "Well, we girls are planning to perform. You guys want to join?"

"Ya sure." All the guys said. All the girls burst out laughing.

"Why are you laughing?" Abhi asked.

"We are laughing at your 'robotic' response 'ya sure'. :P Aur kuch nahi hai kya bolne ko." Nikki said and the girls burst out laughing.

"Not Funny." The boys yelled, but then burst out laughing too.

O~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~O

On the bus (on their way back home)

"So Ridz, what's the plan for the sleepover?" Rahul asked.

"Ok. Friday – straight from school, tum sab mere ghar pe aa rahe ho. Then you guys stay over at my house on Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. On Monday morning, we all will go to school together from my house."

"Awesome, can't get any better. :D"

"Guys, don't forget to bring all your stuff ok."

"Ummm… Ridz. Tere parents ko koi problem to nahi hogi na? I mean…" Abhi said.

"Nah. Well, dad was kind of unsure, but who cares about him."

"Riddhy, don't say that. He is your dad yaar." Armaan said.

"Ya I know, I know he is my dad Armaan." Riddhima was fuming with anger and so she didn't say anything. Muskaan told them about her relationship with her dad and they understood.

"Oye Riddhima. Arre sun na yaar." Rahul said.

"Haan bol." Riddhima said sounding not so interested.

"Humara dance kaun choreograph karega?"

"Oh!" She smiled. "Humari Muskaan, humare gang ki bestestestestest dancer."

"Muskaan?? Muskaan karegi humara dance choreograph? Then to our dance is totally stuffed… :P :P"

"Shut up Rahul. Dancing is my passion aur dekh lena, itna achcha dance choreograph karungi, ki teri to bolti hi band ho jaegi. Samjha." Muskaan said.

"Alright, alright. Chill out dude…"

"Shut up."

"Lagta hai mera aaj shut up sunne ka din hai." And then everybody burst out laughing, even Muskaan, who was angry at Rahul just a few seconds ago. They were the coolest gang around and everybody knew it, well they better did. :P

O~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~O

Friday finally came. Everyone reached Riddhima's house. They went in and found out that no one was home. Both Padma and Shashank were at work. They were mesmerized by the beauty of the house. The interior designing was amazing. The house did look like a palace.

"Riddhy, I am really sorry. You really are amazing at interior designing." Armaan said.

"What!!??!! Ridz, you did this? Wow man, you should be an interior designer." Abhi said. "Don't you think girls?"

"We know that she will be one successful interior designer one day, so don't think, we know." Nikki replied with a smile.

"Thanks Abhi, thanks Nikki. And Ammy, I didn't forgive you. Itna mazaak koi udata hai kisi ka?" Riddhima said showing fake anger.

"Sorry baba. Aur koi itna mazaak bhi nahi udaya tha maine. (innocently). Sorry (holding his ears)"

"Hmph!!"

"Sorry na Riddhy, maan jao na… Pleeaassee…..."

"Ok. I forgive you. :D :D happy?"

"Yes." Armaan gave Riddhima a wide grin.

"Ok let's see what we have for lunch." She opened the fridge but instead of food found a note. It read:

'Sorry beta, I was running late so I couldn't cook food for you all. Really sorry. Cook something for lunch and dinner or just order something. Sorry again. Tumhari pyaari si maa, Padma.'

"Ah, guys actually……" and she told them everything. "So, tum sab baitho, main khaana bana kar laati hun."

"Ridz, we will hell you na. You have to cook for six people, especially these boys jo… u know… bhukad log hai. :P" Nikki said.

"Hey!!!!!" all the guys yelled.

"Guys, guys, guys. Stop fighting please. Ya Ridz, it's not a joke cooking so much food. Come on guys, lets help her." Muskaan said.

"Actually, I have burnt a lot of things while cooking and I don't want to ruin your kitchen. So ya, seriously." Rahul said.

"Same here. I am hopeless." Abhi said.

"I am not. I love cooking and so I will help you girls. And guys, you can at least pass the ingredients?" Armaan said.

"Ya, we can do that. :D" Rahul & Abhi said.

"So what are we waiting for? Let's get cooking. :)" And off they went to the kitchen. They worked as a team and it was great fun. Within an hour, lunch was ready. They sat on the dining table and ate lunch. They praised their great cooking skills. Then they went upstairs. Ridz showed the guys their room and the girls their room.

"Ridz, hum tere room mein kyun nahi rahenge?" Muskaan asked.

"Actually, usme kaam karenge na, and it will be very messy. So I thought we will stay here." Riddhima replied.

"Ok."

"Mere room mein chale?"

"Sure." They all went to Ridz's room and sat their.

"Your room is very plain yaar." Rahul said.

"I know. Very boring. Why?" Abhi asked.

"Guys! We are going to decorate it. Remember? Decorate it." Ridz said stressing on the work decorate.

"Oh ya. Bhool gaye. :P"

"So, I will get the can of paints and we can start painting."

"I'll come with you." Armaan said.

"Ok." They went and got the paint.

"Ridz, just one question. How many rooms do you have in your house?" Abhi asked.

"Why did ask that?" Ridz asked him.

"Arre just like that. General knowledge. :)"

"You are weird."

"Did you just find out? :P"

"Gosh! :P :P Ok, there are 5 rooms. One is mom & dad's, one is mine, one is my sister's, one is guest room, and on is study + bhagwaan ji ka room. Oh ya, that just remembered, we have to set up the study + bhagwaan ji ka room as well. Thanks Abhi, for asking that question. :)"

"Abhi saare kaam sahi hi karta hai. :)"

"Theek hai, theek hai. Hawa mein mat udd. Ok, so there are two walls and a wardrobe to paint and there are six people. Let's divide into groups of two. A boy and a girl. Ok?" (one wall was a secret :P.)

"Cool." All of them said.

"Ok. :D so let's divide into groups."

"I'll work with you Riddhy." Armaan didn't know why, but his heart said work with your Riddhy and this time, he didn't bury his feelings.

"Ok. :D" Some part of Ridz was very happy that she will get to work with her Ammy and she didn't know why either.

"Me & Muskaan will work together." Rahul said and saying so, he stood next to her and both were happy to be working with each other. Muskaan's heart skipped a beat when he came and stood so close to her. It was racing away.

"So, that leave me & Abhi to work together. Cool. :)" Nikki said. Currently, they both didn't have any feeling for each other because it hadn't been long since they had met.

Everyone was about to start their work when Riddhima yelled, "Ruko!"

"Ridz, kya hua?" Muskaan and Nikki asked with a worried look on their faces.

"Umm… woh, I didn't turn the music on." They all burst out laughing hearing that. Riddhima got her iPod, attached it to the speakers and kept it in a corner so that the paint doesn't reach it. "Now we can start work. :D One more thing guys, just sign the wall that you are painting. Write you name. It will be very memorable for me :D" All of them agreed to that and started their work. The room was going to be painted red. In between their work, they took photos. Nikki came around and took pictured of all the couples (friends waale couples, no GF/BF couple, at least not till now). Then Ridz took the camera and took a photo of Abhi and Nikki and individual photos of Abhi, Nikki, Muskaan, Rahul and Armaan. The song that was playing on the iPod was 'Jaane Kyun' from 'Dostanna'. Riddhima started singing and everyone followed her lead. It was an awesome friends' moment. They danced like crazy in between the song. Everyone was having the time of their life, all thanks to Riddhima. :) :)

The room was now almost painted. They all were messy and paint was all over their clothes and faces. Once they finished, Riddhima set the camera up and they had a couple of group photos. They all then signed the walls. This is what all the two walls and the wardrobe read (Armaan and Riddhima painted the wardrobe):

"Armaan & Riddhima Urf Ammy & Riddhy. Frends 4eva 'N' 2getha 4eva."

"Nikki & Abhi's Wall. Kisi aur ka is par koi haq nahi hai. :P"

"Rahul & Muskaan. Duniya ke sabse zyaada ladne waale dost… hehe… V r awesome…"

They all dipped their hands in the paint and put their hand prints on the wall under their names. Riddhima stepped back and looked at her room. Something was missing, but what?! She scratched her head and thought what was missing. The she realized, "Humare poore gang ka naam ek saath nahi likha hai." She said. "Guys, this spot is where 'THE AWESOME GANG' signs the wall together." And so they all signed the wall. This is what it said:

"Muskaan/Muski, Riddhima/Ridz/Ridzy/Riddhy (Only for Armaan), Nikita/Nikki, Armaan/Ammy (Only for Riddhima), Abhimanyu/Abhi, Rahul (Ek hi naam hai mera :P :D) – this gang, the awesomest & the best gang in da world… no 1 can come in b/w us & no 1 can break our gang apart. 2GETHA 4EVA :D :D"

They all then freshened up and went to the girls' room. "Ridz, can we all choose the photos that are going to go up on your wall?" Abhi asked.

"Poochne ki baat hai? Of course you can. :)" Ridz said. They all looked at the pictures and then chose a few pictures: one of AR, one of RM, one of AN and one of the whole gang. There were also going to be individual pictures of Armaan, Muskaan, Nikki, Abhi and Rahul.

They rested for a while and then decided to have dinner.

"Ridz, tere mom dad kab ayenge?" Muskaan asked.

"Actually, unhe kisi ke ghar dinner pe jaana tha. So ya… It takes them 2-3 hours to return from there. So bohot time hai. :P"

"Oh ok. I am hungry . Khana chahiye."

"Bhukad." Rahul said.

"Oye. Chup kar. Bhukad ho ga tu. Samjha na. :@"

"Chal hatt. Bhukad aur mein… ja - ja. :@"

"Achcha, lunch karte hue sab ne dekha tha tujhe. Aisa kha raha tha jaise khana bhaag raha ho."

"Tu zyada mat - " but before he could complete all the others yelled, "Shut up you two!!!!"

"Sorry…" both of them mumbled.

"Humse nahi, ek doosre se bolo." Armaan said.

"Stop treating us like kids." Muskaan said. "And I am sorry Rahul." Sarcasm was dripping from her voice.

"Haan - haan… sorry." Rahul said with sarcasm in his voice as well.

"Anyways, guys, can we order something for dinner? I am really in no mood to cook something." Ridz said.

"Same here." All of them said.

"Haan, life mein pehli baar main ye bol raha hoon ki mujhe cook nahi karma. All thanks to you Riddhy." Armaan said, showing fake anger.

"It's ok Ammy. Friends to help karne ke liye hote hai na."

"Mujhe laga you will feel guilty."

"For what?"

"For making me work soooo much that now I am tired and can't even cook."

"Pfftt. Like I care. You agreed, so ya. Anyways, leave that topic. What do all wanna order?" All of them yelled "Chinese" together. "Ok, so Chinese it is." And she ordered their dinner. After dinner they all went for a walk to give the photos to be printed. They were told they would be there by tomorrow. They all came home and found Riddhima's parents there.

"Hey mom, hey dad." Ridz said.

"Hello beta." Padma said but Ridz's didn't receive any reply from Shashank and she wasn't even expecting one.

"Mom, this is Nikki, Muskaan, Rahul, Abhi and Armaan."

"Namaste uncle, namaste aunty." They all together.

"Namaste. How are you all?" Shashank said.

"Good." All of them were taken aback by the fact that Shashank greeted them nicely but didn't even speak to Ridz.

"Anyways, I will go. I have some work to do." And saying so he went upstairs in his room.

"So you guys having fun?" Padma asked.

"Hell yes aunty. And ab hum 'study + bhagwaan ji ka kamra', as Ridz says, ready karne jaa rahe hai." Rahul said.

"Ok. What did you guys have for dinner?"

"Chinese" they all yelled together.

"Wah, kya baat hai. Sab ko ek hi cuisine pasand hai. Nice. :)"

"Yup!"

They all then went upstairs and inside the study room. The boys decided to put up the study table and the book shelf together while the girls decorated the temple area and put everything in place. After they were done, everyone went into the guys' room and waited for Ridz to come. She was putting all the files and folders in place because she knew where her dad wanted them. She then went to the room and joined her friends.

"Ridz, tere room mein wo platform kyun hai?" Muskaan asked.

"Wo tumhe kal pata chal jayega, jab hum room set up karnge."

"Ok, and what are all these boxes?"

"Arre honge na Muskaan, tujhe kya?" Rahul said.

"Shut up Rahul. Usse har haq hai mujhse poochne ka." Ridz said.

"Fine." Rahul said showing fake anger.

"Awww… sowwee…" and she went and hugged him. Armaan felt a little jealous but didn't know why he did.

"Muskaan, in boxes mein mere family ke photos aur different posters hai jo meri wall pe lagenge."

"Hey Ridz, what's this?" Nikki asked pointing towards a big rectangular think covered in brown paper.

"Kal sab pata chal jaega madam. :P"

"Ok."

"Bachcha log, tumhe poochna bhool gayi. What did you have for lunch?"

"Aunty, Abhi aur Rahul ne ingredients diye, Muskaan aur Nikki ne chopping ki and maine aur Riddhy ne cooking ki which equals to home made food. That is what we had." Armaan said.

"Meri beti ne cooking ki!!!!?? Ladkiyon jaisi harkate kab chaloo ki tune beta?"

"Mom!!!!" Riddhima yelled and they all burst out laughing. Padma was about to leave when Ridz said, "Achcha mom, maine bank se thode paise nikale the, photos ke liye. Ok?"

"Ok bachcha. Tere room ko decorate karne ke liye kitna paisa chahiye utna le-le. Ok?"

"Ok. Thanks mom." Riddhima grinned widely.

"It's ok. Now enjoy." Saying that Padma left.

"Dude, your mom is cool." Armaan said and Riddhima just smiled.

"I know. :D" Ridz replied.

"Hey, you said ek karma teri sis ka hai. Where is you sis?"

"India mein. And I miss her a lot."

"Ya, I miss my bhai too. Wo bhi India mein hai."

"She will be here soon hopefully and I can't wait for that day. She always makes dad agree to what I say :)."

"That's nice yaar." Nikki said.

"I just don't like one thing about her."

"What?"

"Dad humesha uski baat mante hai, meri nahi. He loves her more."

"Yaar aisi koi baat nahi hai. Tu unki bhi to beti hai na."

"Main unki beti nahi hun." Riddhima looked up with tears in her eyes.

"Ridz, kya hua?" Muskaan and Nikki were by her side in no time.

"I am adopted. I was 5 years old when they adopted me. Mom aur di lekar aaye the mujhe. She was 14 years old at that time. She always wanted a little sister and so she got me. Tab se le kar aaj tak, dad ne di se zyada pyaar kiya and Australia aane ke baad, I changed and now he doesn't even talk to me. To main bhi nahi bolti unse. Meri mom mere liye kaafi hai." She looked down and wiped her tears away.

"We're sorry Ridz to bri – "

"No, no, no. I feel better now. Kisi se baat kar ke achcha lag raha hai. I never got friends who I could trust to tell this to. But you guys are different. I can trust you and that's why I told you. Anyways, rona dhona chodo aur kuch karte hai. Ok?"

"LOL… Ridz, ro tum rahi ho. Hum nahi. :P :P Kidding. Hehe" Abhi said.

":D. Anyways guys, mera room kal 4 PM se pehle-pehle ready karma hai. Because after that, electricians will come to fix… well… the things needed in our room."

"Our room?" They all said together.

"Ridz, wo tera room hai… remember…" Rahul said.

"Nahi… wo hum sab ka room hai… we all have a part in there. Right?"

"Yaa!!" All of them yelled.

"Riddhy!! I wanna ask you something." Armaan said.

"Pooch. Shoot!" Ridz said.

"Wo teri fourth wall… why is it hidden?"

"It's a secret baba. Wait till tomorrow na!"

"Arre kitne secret rakhti ho tum. Jee! Fine, I can wait. :)"

"Good."

"Riddhima!! Ab so jao tum sab. Kal nahi to late uthoge. Ok. Now off you guys go to bed. It's already 11:30pm." Padma said.

"Bu - " Rahul was cut short by Muskaan who squeezed his hand. She knew he was going to argue with Padma. Her touch sent electric currents through his body and the same applied to Muskaan.

"Were you saying something Rahul?"

"Ah… Um… Umm no… no… :)"

"Ok! Chalo sab so jao ab nahi to kal room nahi set up kar paoge. Ok. Goodnight. :)"

"Goodnight." They all said together and the girls went to their room and they slept.

O~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~O

The alarm rung. Riddhima got up with a jerk and looked at her mobile phone. "1:00 am." It read. She woke the girls up and tip-toed to the guys room. Padma and Shashank were fast asleep. She knocked on the guys room and Armaan came and opened the room.

"Hop in. :D" Armaan said. They went in and got comfortable in their warm blankets they had gotten along with them. They chit-chatted all through the night. Abhi was a bit tensed but they reassured him that no one will catch them. They talked all through the night. It was 4 in the morning and Riddhima decided that the girls go back to the room. They complained a bit but Riddhima told them that Shashank will be up in about half-an-hour and so would Padma. Hearing that, they agreed to go back to their room. As soon as they went in, they fell on the beds and slept.

O~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~O

Saturday

The girls woke up one by one and got fresh. They then woke the guys up. After everyone freshened up, they went downstairs.

"Good morning. Bohot jaldi uth gaye ho! Do you know what the time is? It is already 8:00 am." Padma said giving Ridz a stern look.

"Maa, we all are late wakers. Hum sab late uthte hai. So isiliye. :)" Riddhima said.

Abhi was about to object to what Ridz had just said but Nikki whispered in his ears, "We all know you wake up on time. But aaj humare liye, apne doston ke liye jhoot bol do." Abhi just nodded to that in agreement like a good kid. They all had breakfast, aloo ke paranthe.

"Maa, hum room set up karne jaa rahe hai ok?" Ridz said.

"Ok, have fun. :D"

"We will. Trust me."

They all went upstairs and got the boxes that needed to be emptied. Armaan and Rahul we mucking around and had almost crashed into the hidden wall when Riddhima yelled, "Guys! Be careful. It is a very fragile wall for god's sake." They all knew how much this room meant to Ridz, so they said sorry to her.

"Ok guys, is platform pe mera bed aur meri study table hogi."

"Ohh! Ab samjhe hum sab :P" Nikki said.

"Ok, guys tum meri study laga do, girls tum log mera bed aur meri shelf laga di please."

"Tune please kyun bola. Hum humare room ka kaam kar rahe hai. Right?" Muskaan said. Riddhima smiled. "What are you doing?? All alone??"

"Main meri wardrobe set up kar rahi hoon. :) ok?" They all showed her a thumbs up and started their work. Ridz was soon done with her work so she decided to help the boys since they were doing the hard job. So, she helped them and once they all were done they put up all the posters and photos. Padma had picked up the photos up for them and they looked awesome. They had finished well in time. They checked the watch and it was 3:30pm. There was a knock on the door and Riddhima yelled, "Kaun hai?" but no response came. Armaan came and stood behind her and said, "Meri pyaari Riddhy, kya tum bhool gayi ki tumhara karma sound proof hai?" Him being so close to her sent chills down her spine. She was dead sure there was some feeling towards him that she had. But what? She thought. She came out of her thoughts when Muskaan shook her.

"Huh! Ya, main dekh ke aati hun." She went and the opened the door of her room. It was Padma. She was very careful to not let Padma see her room until it was finished.

"Beta main under aa - " Padma was cut short by Ridz.

"Mom, we are done. But jab tab electricians saari cheezen install nahi kar dete aap nahi dekh sakte. You know na?"

"Hmm… ok. Chalo come downstairs for lunch." They all went for lunch and at 4:00pm the electricians. Ridz showed them what to do and it took them 3 hours to finish off their work. It was 7:00pm when they left and it was almost dark. "The perfect time to show mom and dad my room :D" Riddhima thought. She went in her room when everyone was busy talking. She turned the light on and got mesmerized by the beauty of her room. It looked perfect, actually better than what she had dreamed of. "Wow!" was the word that described the room.

She walked downstairs and got everyone upstairs. "Ladies and gentlemen, presenting you, the awesome gang's room. ;)" Riddhima said. They all went in and just like Riddhima, the first word that came out of their mouth was Wow! The secret wall was a wall which was basically a mirror.

The mirror wall was surrounded by lights, so when you turned them on, the light reflected around in the room. The walls were painted a rich red and so the light looked stunning on it.

There was a little chandelier in the room instead of a bulb or a tube-light.

There was an LCD and a music system hung on the wall.

"Wow Riddhy, humara room kitna achcha hai na!" Armaan said. Padma and Shashank looked at Ridz questioningly at the "humara room" remark.

"Mom, dad. Ye room hum sab ka hai na since we all have decorated it. Do you like it?" Riddhima asked them.

"Perfect beta!" Padma said but Shashank didn't say anything.

"Umm… thanks, thanks for spending all the money on this room."

"Thappad kahegi tu. Samjhi? Apne mom dad ko koi thank you bolta hai?"

"Haan, main bolti hun :P." and they all burst out laughing. Later they all had dinner and once Padma and Shashank had slept, the boys came to the girls room for masti. They followed the same routine they had last night and enjoyed to the max.

Sunday

After having breakfast, all the kids (as Padma called them) went to Ridz's room.

"Ok guys, aaj dance practice ka din hai. I was thinking we mix up a few song and rock the stage. What say?" Muskaan said.

"Sure. That's a good idea." Rahul said.

"Ok, let's see what songs there are… hmmm… socho…"

"Hmm... Desi girl and Main tera dhakan teri???" Nikki said.

"Awesome… I am taking them down. So these two should be good… or you want one more?"

"Hmmm… how about…. Na... I think these two are fine… :D"

"Guys... I will mix the songs right now… Muski… you help me… since u r the choreographer… :)" Rahul said. They both started their work on mixing the two songs while Armaan, Riddhima, Nikki and Abhi chit-chatted. After an hour, Rahul announced that they were done. They soon begun on their practices and decided that they would practice everyday somewhere after school. It was dinner time and they went downstairs.

"Mom, mera birthday gift laaye ki nahi?" Riddhima asked.

"Beta, we have a biiiiiiigggggggg surprised lined up for you for this birthday." Padma said.

"Really?? Yyyaaayy. Maa, please batao na kya hai???"

"Riddhima… khaana laga."

"Ok mom!"

They all had dinner and then slept on time that night because they had school tomorrow. The weekend was one that they would remember all their lives. Their friendship had grown even stronger in these past 3 days. The fights, the laughs, the giggles and the chit-chats were one memorable memory stored in that one room of Riddhima. There had been a few… sparks should we say… between a few of them but they were still not sure of there feeling. They still wanted to consider it friendship, a friendship they know will last forever. But was it going to really?
