Wow you updated finally! Wl comment in detail.

Aafrah, is your name?

Firstly, I want to say a big Thank you for the note. I agree, with you, that all couples need to be balanced and not just Shivika. Show has that a lot at the cost of others, so am happy you do not do.
It is tough to balance, but you do a great job..by covering all stories.

Like the grey shades Tia has, and her crush for Daksh. Mallika is smart and their convo was really good. Highlight, ofc the Piku bond, where she could be herself and superb it was. Great dosti...and way she points stuff aptly. Glad she gives him time.

Movie part was covered so superbly, way shivaay sits in between his 2 ladies. Love his insecurity, and the message thing too. Love ani's team, and friendship of Om-Daksh.

I love the way you have showed Rudra-somz bond, and her character developing, her being thoughtful, and spending time. But I felt it was too small part, so wanting to read more on them.

I hope you update fast, it is a superb story.

Hi Guys! A small note for all! This is a special chapter on Rudra and Somz, as mentioned earlier, gender crises is a very sensitive issue and needs to be dealt with sensitivity - this story or chapter doesn't mean to question anyone's beliefs, it uses the concept in a light humorous note - please take it as a part of fiction - not meant to hurt anyone's sentiment. :)

Chapter 10

Somz was sitting in the center of the football field. It was dark and deserted here at this late hour, far ahead he could see the white goal post, and there was an identical one right behind. Both had the same function, and at some point of life or the other, he has defended from both the posts - but today, when there was no match, and he was sitting right in the middle of the ground, which one was his post? The one before him, or the one behind him? He looked down and sighed, still clutching his knees to his chest - the soft grass below her were damp from the slight shower of the evening.

Somz was in the cross roads of life, he needed to make a clear choice, both his identities played out before him like the two goal posts - the one in front of him was Somz, the one behind was Soumya - until now he had chosen Somz, but after what happened an hour or so back, he wasn't sure of his choice anymore, he felt like he was literally stuck in the middle of the field and Soumya was the post right behind him - so far Soumya wasn't visible, but now she is - Somz shuddered at the realization. He shut his eyes tight and a lone tear escaped him - it brought him back to the fresh memories of an hour back, when he came here with Rudra.

Flashback begins

He was sitting right here, with Rudra beside him. He was very agitated, Anika's words were eating him inside - on one side was the lucrative offer that if he proved it that he wasn't a girl, all would accept him as Somz, how he wanted things to be, but that would come only at the cost of forcing himself to be intimate with a random man? How could he bring himself to that? How could he oblige anyone? Who would understand? Wait did that mean, somewhere he had persuaded himself to go through that temporary hell? What was rape, he wondered, literally what did it mean? Wasn't it forcing someone to a sexual act without his consent? Wasn't he doing the same to himself? Wasn't he forcing himself to an act of intimacy which his heart didn't give consent to? But the dream of being accepted as who he really was, it was too powerful, it kept nagging him - how was he to go about it, he wondered.

Rudra was sitting quietly next to Somz noticing him. Somz was very disturbed, much more disturbed then he could gauge, he had agreed to come to the football field with hope of some answers, but he wasn't sure how to ask them now. Somz seemed too far - too lost in his own world.

"Somz, what is it mate?" he whispered. It brought Somz back to his present; he looked back in shock to realize Rudra was still beside him. He gave him an agitated look and opened his mouth to explain, but nothing came out - where was he to begin from? Rudra understood the dilemma.

"Buddy, you can count on me. I will understand" he gently encouraged him. He was right, thought Somz, only Rudra could come close to understanding - close to - but that was the best hope he had, after all this guy had always understood him and accepted him as he was - he fought for Somz, to instill Somz's believe in others too - that Somz was a guy! Not a girl!

Somz smiled helplessly, a little teary eyed. Rudra was alarmed, in his fifteen years of friendship with Somz, he never cried, what could have possibly happened? He automatically got close to Somz and hugged him consoling him. "Hey mate, it's okay, I have your back, you know right?" he soothed him gently. Somz only hugged him tighter, holding him tightly in his embrace, Rudra held on, though admittedly he felt a little strange - Somz was feeling different today, he couldn't quite place how. Somz on the other hand was silently holding onto him like he was his strongest pillar, Somz opened his eyes to see her face was near Rudra's neck, the posture felt oddly comforting. He had never hugged Rudra like this before - admittedly it was different from a man-hug. Somz smiled, but Rudra had always been a strong source of comfort for him. He was such kind of a man.

Wait - Rudra is a MAN. How did he not realize this? He always knew, and he was straight, and he understood Somz the most! Surely he would understand! Surely he would help! Hadn't he always helped? Somz knew this was asking too much, but he knew Rudra wouldn't be too mad at him for long, if he didn't ask for it, technically speaking. Asking would probably freak him out, and he would run away for a while - eventually Rudra would have agreed anyway- that Somz was confident, but it would delay the process and Somz wasn't ready to wait.

Somz broke Rudra's embrace and moved slightly back to face him, Rudra looked at him with a comforting smile - seeing his ignorance, a wicked smile flashed in Somz's face.

Rudra saw his smile, it looked different from Somz's usual sly grin - it looked softer, his eyes looked warmer, her cheeks there was a slight tinge of a well hidden shade of pink, and her lips..WAIT! HER!?! This was Somz, Somz was him!! He forced himself to notice her cropped hair, the undone eyebrows and the un-pierced ears, but there was a tinge of felinity in even those, maybe he had never noticed Somz before, not this up close - her face was a masque trying very hard to hide someone, but who? Rudra took in a deep breath and decided to move away from this embrace, it was doing funny things to him - this was his buddy Somz! And Somz would probably castrate him, if he knew what was going on in Rudra's mind. He was just about to pull away when Somz pulled him closer, and before he could understand what was going on, his lips were on Rudra's. Initially it was plain shock that paralyzed Rudra, as he stayed numb while his lips touched his.

Somz in a moment of calculative overdrive, did push forward to kiss him, but once he touched his lip, Somz realized, he was stuck - what to do next? Lick Rudra's lip? Bite it? Push his tongue through his tight lip? What if he didn't open his mouth? Should he punch him in the gut so he opened his mouth to say Oww? But then his thoughts were evading him slowly, as all his senses were directed to his lips that were on Rudra's. It felt strange he thought - good strange! Warm and soft, he unconsciously nibbled them a little.

Rudra had no idea what took over his senses when he felt Somz nibble at his lips, yes the shock did fade, and he could move - but instead of moving away from him, he moved closer to Somz - he softly took in his lower lip - they were soft and delicious - maybe it was sheer biology, but soon they both were actively responding to each other's move. Rudra slowly took his hands near Somz's waist and put his hand under his lose tee-shirt, as his hand circled on the skin of his well toned waist, Rudra gently nudged his tongue into entering Somz's mouth, The kiss was getting passionate - but Rudra could feel the familiar smell of fags - Somz's clove scented fags, and the waist, though the curve was perfect, it wasn't soft, it was tough and muscular, like a man's who played football, like Somz's thought Rudra with a soft laugh - it was this laugh that brought them out of the trance and they both opened there eyes in outrageous shock. "SOMZ" Rudra screamed out in realization and jerked away in shock. Somz was staring back at Rudra in equal shock - wasn't this going to be rape-like for him? "Rudra" he stammered. As he saw Rudra struggle to stand up on his feet.

"What the hell was----" Rudra chocked, he couldn't finish his statement as he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. "Somz" "Guy?!?" were the only audible words Somz could catch. Then before almost running away, Rudra looked back at Somz, rage clear in his eyes, "See you around mate - in another billion years or more maybe" he said through gritted teeth and made a dash from there, staggering at the memory of how attracted he was to a guy all of a sudden.

As he watched Rudra run for life, Somz stared at his retreating figure, he was amused, shocked, enraged, and dumbfounded to say the least.

Flashback ends

Somz opened his eyes and realized he was still sitting in the same place he was ever since Rudra left. A lot of thoughts aroused in him ever since - the most dominating one was a fleeting thought of a line Anika had told him,

"Go close to a man, really close, get intimate, maybe kiss him? Then see, if your body reacts differently than a man's should. Then come and talk to me"

Was Anika right? NO, she isn't, Somz was a guy. He thought this was going to clear the doubts in other's mind that he was a guy, never could he imagine that this could actually instill a tiny doubt in his own head - is he a guy? Is the existence of Somzya a possibility he was too stubborn to acknowledge? Somz was clearly facing an identity crises - Anika's plan had horrendously gone wrong on him - he was a boy he screamed inside his head, but he couldn't deny that he loved the sensation of Rudra's lip on his - ugh - but true, there was simply no point denying that.

It was an internal conflict like no other Somz had faced so far - his reality, his perception and his understanding about his true nature felt shaken, and he was not ready to accept it - his brain was working super fast, in order to come up with a suitable solution to accept his behavior, given the ground that he was a guy, but so far none came.

As he slowly got up and decided to go home, it struck him like lightening - the perfect reasoning that justified his behavior. He stood there amazed at the realization, it was massive in itself, but when compared to the identity crises he was slipping into, this seemed easier to accept. Somz heaved a sigh of relief, "So, I am gay."

***

Rudra was sitting in his bedroom with a bottle of beer in his hand, he was still in shock - holy cow! How the f**k did it happen? Why did Somz kiss him? Why did he kiss him back? Crap crap crap!! This was surely to complicate things - why the hell did he take his hand under his tee-shirt? YUCK. What was he thinking? Was he possessed?!?! Damn it!

How couldn't meet Somz in the eye now. Neither could. He wouldn't want to face him ever - ever in his life - FREAK

Hello folks!! As promised, a second chapter to ring in some surprise!!! Hope you love reading this one as much as I enjoyed writing about it!

Happy Reading!!

Chapter 11

Anika entered the classroom and she was about to go to her new spot beside Daksh at the other end of the room. She knew Om couldn't sit with them even if he wanted to, Shivay was a very close friend of his and Tia was his cousin - it was fine, she would still have Daksh! But as she headed towards her spot she heard Daksh calling her from the other side, "Hey Anika! I am here, join us here nah" she turned around to see Daksh and Tia sitting side by side, in the spot that was usually her and Om's. Now Om was sitting next to Shivay, where Tia sat. So they all were a group now, and each one had their partner, why did Daksh call him anyway, where would she sit? "Err..Anika, what are you thinking, come nah!" repeated Daksh. But Anika wasn't going to go back to their group, not again, "No Daksh, you carry on. I will need to take notes of yesterdays lecture from Reyaan, so I will sit with him. Reyaan and Anika were competitors in class, either of them would always top their batch, but the competition they had was healthy, and neither tried to excel by hampering the other. So Anika knew if she wanted the correct notes, Reyaan would surely provide her. She sat next to a jovial Reyaan and exchanged polite words for a few minutes, then Reyaan pulled out his notebook and Anika furiously started taking notes.

Shivay had followed every word of Anika's since she entered the classroom. He was happy to see that Anika had refused to take Daksh's offer, but he was also unhappy to see that, it meant Anika wasn't sitting with them at all. He kept glancing at Anika as she went about smiling and talking with that Reyaan guy. He silently put his notebook inside his bag, what was the use of it? It's not like he ever took down notes, and the only time he did take it, that was the day before - he knew Anika had missed class and she would require them - but of course Reyaan's notes were bound to be better.

Soon the professor came in and went about returning their assignment sheets from the day before, after grading them. Anika sighed, she had missed this submission, her grades would fall again, looked like Reyaan was going to beat her this semester. She shot a nervous glance at Shivay, if she hadn't been able to submit her assignment, it meant Shivay's was not submitted too - now again she had to apologize she thought - the more she tried avoiding him, the more he comes closer she thought miserably.

As she sat their consumed in her thought, she saw the professor hand her an assignment, she took it with a confused face and looked at it, surely it was a mistake, she must have mistakenly got someone elses sheet. She peered into the paper, but it had her name written on it in a different handwriting, she furrowed her brows in confusion and checked the grade, it was a B+ that she had got, not bad she thought, but she still couldn't figure out how did an assignment miraculously reach her professor that she didn't submit - she debated whether to bring it to the professor or not, she finally decided on telling him, there must be a confusion somewhere. The moment she raised her hand to call for the professor's attention, Shivay seemed to go into a particularly bad coughing fit, her attention got diverted towards him, he was looking at her and making some mute communication which she failed to understand, then he enacted that he was texting her. Anika quietly waited for the text.

11:27a.m. [Can't you be happy that you didn't miss your submission? Why does prof need to know?]

11:29a.m. [What if someone else's assignment got submitted with my name misprinted on it? Someone who worked hard would score a duck then Shivay, I must tell prof.]

11:32a.m. [No one is scoring a duck. That's your assignment all right. I submitted it]

Anika stared at the text message, Shivay had submitted her assignment on her behalf? Didn't she always do it for him? Wasn't he so busy that he didn't get the time to do his own one? Then today...Anika had no words, she was too surprised.

11:40a.m. [You did my assignment? But why?]

11:42a.m. [Because in a group, we look out for each other. You have always done my assignments neglecting yours.]

Anika read the message and smiled, Shivay saw her smiling and he didn't know why, but he felt a little happy inside, just slightly and it was very momentary.

11:45a.m. [Thank-You Shivay. I owe you one.]

11:47a.m. [Yes, you do owe me, and to return my favour, join us back this side. Om misses you]

Suddenly it seemed like such a bright and sunny day thought Anika, she was feeling warm and light - so deep down somewhere, they were a group indeed and who better to prove it than Shivay himself?

11:50a.m. [If I leave mid-way, Reyaan will feel bad, from tomorrow I will join you guys. By the way, I hope you submitted your assignment too?]

11:55a.m. [Fine, join us post lunch then. Reyaan is going for goal-keeping trials today for our team - post lunch. Yes, I have submitted mine, landed with a C- this time : (]

11:57a.m. [Oh, okay. Don't worry your grades will pick up pace from the next assignment, I promise. By the way, I got a B+ so, thanks! : )]

Om was standing all most at the edge of the cliff, with his hands on his waist, breathing hard - the climb up the cliff was definitely tough, but it was worth it, he had to finish the end colour touches of the painting he was doing of this place - there was no one to disturb him, the huge sky before him was unobstructed, spreading streaks of fast diffusing orange into pinkish purple - he had about fifteen minutes to catch the right shades of twilight, before the dark evening engulfed the scene before him. As he paced up and went further close to the cliff to set up his stand, he thought he heard a sniff from below the small cliff that overlooked the city in the distance. He was done setting the stand, but before he could focus on the shade, he heard another sniff - he was surprised, was some small animal caught in the hedges sprouting from below the cliff? He moved closer and found a small trail from the side, leading near the hedges, he followed the trail, that is when he was close enough to detect the source of the sniff.

"God ji please! Please please please don't make it painful okay? I know it's not right, but this is all I can do now! After all I am heart broken! Isnt this what Juliet had done? Except, my Romeo isn't like really dead, just metaphorically you know. But God ji, you know I gave this a lot of thought, like I thought about it all the time I was having my last red velvet cheesecake at Love & Cheesecake' for this life time. This is it, then, I guess I should jump..." Om was shocked out of his wit, there stood the prettiest girl he had ever set his eyes on, and when did he meet her? When she was ending her life? As Om was about to run towards the depressed damsel fearing she would jump before he reached her, the girl seemed to be in no hurry, she spoke aloud again.

"Okay okay Godji, wait, I forgot to cross check the to-do list I made before jumping. Two mins hmm?"

To-do list before jumping?' Om thought and scratched his head, as the girl pulled out a piece of paper from her denims pocket and mumbled on.

"Returned Piku her leather jacket - check

Told di the date of my Amazon delivery - check

Took back my straightener from Tia - check

Confessed to Godji - " and she exclaimed - "what Godji, I forgot to confess to my crimes before jumping only! No No, Greek God's in heaven wont date me if I missed this!"

A small chuckle escaped Om as he heard this. He was relaxed now, this girl wasn't jumping so easily.

"God ji, I have been a very bad girl, I have dark sins to confess to" she sighed. "You know when I was little, and ma had scolded di for not feeding fishytishy in time because of which he died? Well, di did put the food in time God ji, but fishytishy was dead way before eating it - I err..I had forgotten to turn on the aquarium light before switching off the light in the room the night before. Sorry! And the other time when I when I was on a crash diet last month? Well, I had broken it and eaten muffins too - God ji I even lied to Tia about my weight! I never lost two kilos, I just wanted to make her jealous. I am so so horrible. And when I told Tia she looks slim in green and made her buy that cocktail dress? God ji, actually she looks like a fat mushroom in it, I was jealous. I have been a bad bad girl, but I promise I will be a good fairy - please send me to heaven when I fall okay? And one last request Godji, please don't make the make-up smear on my dead body when they come to collect it okay? And incase my lipstick rubs off, please punish the makeup company owners for false promises to a dying soul - they are supposed to give 12 hours cover and its smudge proof." Finally the girl finished and sighed, now she was getting ready for the dive.

"Maybe you should postpone your dive miss. It's dark now, even if your Godji, plans to send you to heaven, you sure you will find your way in the dark?" asked Om from behind.

Mallika jumped in alarm, "God, you scared me to death crazy man!"

"Well you were dying anyway" responded Om with a tight lip.

"Hi, I am Om. Omkara Jai Singh "

"Mallika, soon to be Late. Mallika"

"Hi, soon to be Lt. Mallika, do you want a ride home for the time being? You can always come back tomorrow, now that your checklist is exhausted, all you gotta do is not waste time and jump during day-light!"

Wow it's awesome fantastic amazing 👏👏
