"MOM! I'm home." Kriya announced entering the apartment. Smriti replied back from the kitchen. "How was your day?"
Kriya was already in the kitchen, hugging her from the back. "Awesome, perfect, superb!"
Smriti chuckled. "Someone seems very happy!"
"Hmm." Kriya replied with a slight blush.
Smriti, as any mother would have it, commented, "Focus on your studies too now, okay?"
"Yes boss!" Kriya replied with a dramatic salute. She got a pop from the freezer and sat down on the chair.
"What's this?" she asked when she saw a medical file. Smriti quickly snatched it from her hands.
Fumbling, she replied, "Nothing, just had a headache and without doctor's prescription, they wouldn't give the medicine, so..."
"What?" Kriya exclaimed getting up. "Aap thik toh ho na? You should have called me! I would have came home early."
"I'm fine. You're meeting friends after long time. You must have had many things to catch up on."
"That can go on na mom." She took the knife from her hands. "Now go rest. I'll finish making dinner.
Smriti laughed. "Do you even know what I'm making?"
Kriya fumbled, "So what? I'll -err- making whatever I can with these." She pointed at the cut out vegetables.
"You're crazy. Go do whatever you have to do. I can finish up here." Smriti took the knife back from her hands and convinced her out of the kitchen. Once Kriya left, Smriti held the file in her hand tightly, felt guilty about lying and went to secure it in her room. "Forgive me Kriya. Now's not the time." she thought to self.

Sharon was home painting her toe nails when her phone rang. It was her dad and she got up excitedly. "DAD! OMG, I'm so happy you called. How are you? I'm missing you so much, really!"
Gautam chuckled on the other side. "I've missed you too Sharon! That's why I'm coming down to see you."
"Really?! I'm so excited. When are you coming?"
"In a week's time. Now I have an important meeting. I'll talk to you later, 'kay? Love you."
"Bye dad, love you too." Se replied, ended the call and her happiness had no limits. She didn't get to see her dad often and when she did, those were the best moments of her life. Now she eagerly waited for the week to pass by eagerly!
______________________________
"Swayam! I have a doubt yaar." Rey pleaded after Swayam picked up the call.
"What now?" Swayam asked.
"Err' I'm missing Kriya. Should I go up to her house? If I do, what will her mom say? Band hi baja degi meri."
Swayam felt like banging his head on the wall. With extra sweetness in his voice to control himself, he replied, "Rey, my dearest friend, if you value your life, you'll go to sleep without a word and NOT call me back at all! It's 3 in the night for God's sake!!"
Regardless his attempt, Swayam was fuming at the end and Rey was sure of it. Without a noise, Rey abided to Swayam's warning and ended the call. After many tries and twisting and turning, he finally fell asleep.
______________________________
"Good morning!" Swayam sweetly wished Sharon through phone. He was still at home and so was Sharon.
Sharon wished him back. "Good morning."
"Kya kar rahi ho?"
"Nothing much' You?"
They were behaving so awkwardly while replying to each other. Both were in fact asking themselves the same question. Why am I behaving like this?
"I'll see you in college?" Swayam asked.
"Yea." was the reply and the phone call ended abruptly.
______________________________
"Neha, what's wrong?" Simmi asked.
Rinni continued, "Yea, why such a long face?"
"My babu forgotten me." Neha whined.
Kriya asked, "Neha, what are you talking about?"
"The truth. He doesn't love me anymore. He never spends time with me now." she cried out to her friends.
They all rolled their eyes. Neha being the drama queen that she was. Vishakha said sternly, "Look dude, guys need their space too. So just forget him man. He'll come around."
For once, no one scolded her for such a response. They all did want Neha to stop cribbing early in the morning.
Kriya gathered her books and started to leave, "Guys, I'll see you all in class." She announced and turned to quickly leave.
But Sharon caught up to her, "Wait, I need to talk to you."
"Can we do it later on, please?" Kriya pleaded. Sharon wasn't understanding why. Kriya got a text message from Rey saying 'Where are you?'
"Actually'" Kriya started after checking the message.
"Rey, isn't it?" Sharon asked, making the only guess on who would text her.
Kriya let out a nod and Sharon continued, "Okay, but no excuses during lunch time. We need to get started on charity event ideas, 'kay?"
"Yea sure. Promise. We'll meet then. Bye!" Kriya hurried off, leaving an amused Sharon behind.
______________________________
Swayam walked up from behind Sharon, watching her giggle. "What's up?" he asked.
She shook her head. "Nothing, just Rey and Kriya, everything seems to be coming back to track now."
Swayam agreed, "Right, that's for sure seeing that Rey has again started calling me at 3 in the morning!"
Sharon laughed at Swayam's plight. Then seeing his cute face, she awe-ed. "Awe! You look so cute!" She pulled his cheeks lightly.
Swayam went in a gaze and noticing his deep look at her, she realized she had said those words out loud. She looked at the ground, shying away.
Coming out of his dream land, Swayam asked, "So lunch today?"
"Yea sure." She quickly replied to escape from there.
"See you then." he replied and entered the locker room.
Once her mind was back to reality, she replayed the things that just happened few minutes ago and came to a realization.
"Shit! I'm supposed to meet Kriya for lunch. Argh! Sharon, what's wrong with you?!" She began picking her brain to look for a way out. Meeting with Kriya was important. On the other hand, her heart refused to disappoint Swayam. She had caught herself in a web.
______________________________
Kriya entered the fire escape where Rey was already waiting for her. "Finally!" he let out an impatient reply when he heard her enter in. "I had been waiting for so long!"
Kriya replied, "No one told you to come early then."
"Okay come on, don't get mad now." He pleaded pulling her down on the stair beside him.
He entwined his hand with her and it rested on his leg. Kriya looked around. "Still the same." she commented.
Rey nodded. "Hmm, it was just waiting for you to come back. Do you know how lonely it had gotten?"
Kriya laughed at his remark. "Aap bhi na, Rey."
"What?! Usko aadat ho gayi thi, to have you here whenever anything happens."
Kriya shook her head, not forcing her smile back. "This place will always remain special." she told him.
He agreed. "Right' We had a lot of our 'first times' here."
Kriya smiled at the memory of them all. The first time they would fight, become friends, compliment each other, confess their love, and many more.
"Acha listen?" he pulled her out of her thoughts. He had been tracing his finger on her hand.
She answered, "Hmm?"
"I want to take you out on an official date. Just you and me. We've hid enough and been separated enough."
She smiled at his proposal and shying, nodded. "Today? Lunch?" She asked but then remembered, "Wait no, not today. I have a meeting with Sharon."
"How about tomorrow? The whole day?" He suggested.
Kriya's eyes widened. "Are you kidding? We have classes! We can't just bunk them. If Mumma finds out, she'll kill me!"
"She won't." he replied very confidently.
She rolled her eyes. "And how can you say that?"
"Simple, I'll just get her permission."
Kriya let out a mocking laugh. "You? And ask her? You can't say a word in front of her, forget it!"
"And if I do get her permission?" he challenged her.
She thought about it for a second. "Then I'll do whatever you tell me to."
Rey's mind took an evil turn. "Anything?"
"Anything legal." She approved. He laughed at her legal statement. As if he would force her into doing anything illegal.
"Wait and watch!" he replied, already forming a plan in his mind.
