Update?

Weekend seemed to be just the thing Ishika needed. She went to Mystic for her shifts. Antara was glad to see her; she had not yet talked with Varsha about anything. Ishika didn't care; she was just working her way to convince Shekhar to let her go back. So far she was failing miserably.

She went to college next week, just for her speech. Rest, she asked one of the students who were not her friend to give her notes and skipped out on the classes. Antara knew very well why she was avoiding the classes, specially the ones she had with Dhruv and Yash.

Rest, no one smelled anything wrong. Clearly, the boys once again had kept the secret. They felt as if they were the only ones being true friends, since clearly both Antara and Ishika would avoid them as much as possible. Both of them knew very well that they could find the girls at Mystic, and were on the verge to go up there and corner them while they were working, but surprising themselves they stayed away from the caf and gave them space. This was not about them, but between Antara and Ishika.

Ishika was angry at Shekhar, for not letting her go back to Manali. He kept on asking what happened so horrible for her to want to leave in this manner, but being a good niece she just insisted with weak lies. She didn't want her uncle to get angry at her aunt, as she remembered Antara mentioning that Shekhar had no idea of what had happened three years ago. As much as she was angry at Antara for keeping it from her, she was doing the very same thing by keeping it from her uncle. Deep down, she had to agree that things were a lot better when she didn't knew why her aunt behaved the way she did with her.

Two weeks later, Dhruv and Yash were shocked to see Ishika when she showed up for the exams. Clearly, she was not going to let her studies suffer due to some family tension. She was avoiding her friends, not her professors or her exams.

A week after the exam, Ishika was confident that her uncle could not stop her from going to Manali for what was coming. February marked the arrival of the most tragic day in her life.

"God, Ishika pick up the phone!"

"Everything alright?" Nikita asked walking towards her locker. "Where is Ishika, I have been seeing her a lot less since weeks now. It's been one month since she joined up and yet she had not become part of us."

Antara smiled, "Yeah everything fine." She shut her locker without getting out her books and redialed Ishika's cell. She cursed out loud, when her best friend continued to ignore her.

"What's wrong?" Yash asked, breaking the silence that has been building between them since she ordered him to get out of her house.

Antara looked up to see Nikita, Yash and Dhruv eyeing her as if she was their experiment. "Nothing is wrong, just that my best friend is ignoring me since freaking three weeks now. What does she think of herself? I let her ignore me till now, but that does not mean I will let her keep up with her behavior."

Dhruv said carefully, "You are mad at being ignored. I wonder what we should be than."

"Hey, I would not mind since considering she is angry at me with a very clear reason. But she can't expect me to not bother her, especially not when..." Antara trailed off.

"Forget it, let's go. Humanities is waiting for us," Yash elbowed Dhruv and both boys shook their head at Antara before walking away.

"Okay, what's wrong with them two?" Nikita asked.

Antara slumped her shoulders and shook her head as if to say, I don't know; when she clearly knew.

"Do you know where Antara is?" Sunayna asked walking in the student government office.

"I haven't seen her since this morning," Nikita answered not bothering to look up from the pile of papers she was going through.

Dhruv shook his head and Yash shrugged his shoulders, as if to say he cared less.

"How come you both don't know? You three know everything about each other."

Nikita looked up at Sunayna. "Three of them had a fight."

"What?" Sunayna asked, "When? Why?"

"We didn't had a fight," Dhruv said logging off from the computer he was working on. In two weeks Valentines Day was coming and they were all busy setting up the days for the event.

"You coming?" Dhruv asked, getting up and hanging his back pack on one shoulder.

Yash looked up at him and after few seconds gave in. It was simply hard to fight with his heart all the time. Dhruv grinned, and Yash shot him a death glare.

____________________________________________________

Both of them walked towards the figure sitting on the deck with her back towards them. This was their secret hang out spot. Away from the campus, over looking the huge lake lining the green fields that merged in to the hills.

Dhruv sat down towards her right and Yash sat down on her left. She sighed and wiped her tears away, she knew they would find her sooner or later. When she got there, she almost turned around to go somewhere else so that she would not be found, but didn't know where to go, more over she was not in the mood to find a place on campus where she knew for sure that no one would come to disturb her.

It was only this place where she could be disturbed by her two friends, but still at the same time not be disturbed.

After fifteen minutes passed between the trio without a word, Antara asked, "Should I go to her, like you both came to me?"

Yash smiled, while Dhruv replied, "Do you know where she is?"

Antara frowned, "I am hoping at her house."

"You don't know for sure?" Dhruv asked. Yash stayed quiet letting Dhruv talk for both of them.

"No," Antara shook her head, "I know if I were her, I would be anywhere but at my house."

"Well then her house is a good start."

Antara got up immediately and looked down at both of them, "Well you two coming or not?"

Both of them looked up at her surprised, "I don't think we are welcome in either of you guys lives anymore." Yash finally spoke.

"That's not true," Antara frowned. "I know you two want to know how she is and I don't want you two to look at me the way you have been doing this past weeks because clearly I am not going to say anything. It's not my thing to share."

Yash looked at Dhruv and seeing the conflict in his eyes he said, "She made it clear that she didn't want to share either."

Antara sighed and leaned down only to pull both of them up, "Well, she better start accepting that there are people in this world who would give her life to embrace with open arms. I left her once, I am not going to leave her again and I am sure as hell not going to let her leave us either."

Dhruv starred at her seeing the determination in her eyes and let her pull him away. Yash walked next to him.

Monal I love you
Thank you for putting up this update...
The update I must says is a miss of events..
Ishita needs to get out of her shell..
One needs to share the events and not just be over protective about onself..
Things will be solved..
Aantra again is an amazing friend.
She has done beautiful justice to the friendship she shared with Ish but with Dhruv and Yash somewhere she has failed out.
I know she did maintain but ignoring the boys for a week or more it it same as what Ish is doing..
running away from the situation..

Hoping to see things turn well..

All the best for your finals.
