Rajat: (he entered her room with food plate and slowly keeps it beside table) pari, prepared for your exam (in caring tone)
Pari didn't show any reaction her face starring at book, slowly rajat come close to pari hold her hand and make her stand. Her back was facing him, he turn her, she looking down. Rajat lift her face by index finger, she look straight into his eyes.
Rajat: I speak to surya secretary for his appointment

Pari: I am not hungry and I want to go through one chapter or it will be late
Rajat: ok I will help you then
He slowly took the plate from table and feed her like a child; she doesn't utter a single word she is enjoying each passing moment
Pari: enough

3.30 pm Surya Cabin
Surya: take your seat guys
Rajat: Thanks
Surya: So, what is important rajat you call me so early in morning
Rajat: Pari, I think you should say this
Pari: (in low tone) Surya, it's a misunderstanding. I mean yesterday you call me... a... and we are speaking about friends... ah... then... 😉(pari turn her face to rajat and gave a wink to him) Yes we both speak about our friends and I said to him that I like you as my friend
Rajat: (controlling his laugh, OMG she becomes expect in lie) 😆hmm... Surya I said to her that you won't mistake her, but she is not ready to accept it. She wants to clear you the misunderstanding by her own (in mischievous tone)
Surya: (gave weird look to both) its ok, I didn't take it wrong. I am happy that you consider me as your friend in short term
Pari: Ok, we leave now. We are getting late papa will be waiting for us. Bye see you later surya (she said in one go)
Surya: bye
Rajat: bye, see you later dude.
Rajat room
Pari: thanks rajat (in low tone)
Rajat: Pari, I want to ask you something (pari nodded her head, he continue) why you lie to me, to him
Pari: I am sorry raj
Rajat: it's not my answer pari (he raised his eyebrow in anger)
Pari: (closed her eye) it's because of her raj, you never forget her. Why are you giving so much important to her, till you love her? I know you are angry with me because of me you can't confess your love to her. I am sorry raj; I can't see you giving more importance to other than me. I know I am selfish but I can't lose you like I lose my mom (tears escaped from her closed eyes)😭 I can't tolerate this loneliness, yes I am with dad and uncle but something is missing rajat, no one can fulfill your place in my heart. I can't make friends raj, I need my friend I need you...
Rajat gave her side hug and wiped her tears, he put his arm around her shoulder. Pari open her eyes and look deep in his eyes. The eyes show a mixed emotion of care and guiltiness
Rajat: I am sorry pari, I lied to you. I didn't love her, yes I said this to you in my birthday but it's not true, I just played with you but I didn't know this will turn my life upside down. It's you because of you I left this place, I know its sounds crazy but I took this decision when I was in anger my heart say its unintentional but my mind say she need to suffer for what she did, I took revenge for your slap but trust me I am not happy with my decision after I left you, I cruse myself for this decision but my stubborn make me to live with my decision. I am sorry pari (in low caring tone) will you forgive your friend; I want to start everything new
Pari gave him a tight hug, he creased her back
Pari: ok, I forgive you but why you said yesterday night that she is waiting for you in your dream, I mean
Rajat: I just try to avoid you because I feel so tired (he bite his lips and gave a sad expression)😔
Pari:😡 hmm... so you avoiding me, ok I am leaving bye good night
Rajat: (hold her hand) good night friend (he gave her a friendly hug and kissed her cheeks)😳
