Avu met Abhi on the way to class.

Avu: Hey bhai

She said happily. Abhi smiled back and side hugged her.

Avu: What's up bhai? Aap aaj kal dikhte hi nhi ho

Abhi: Hnn wo internships and all hote hai so I don't get much time

Avu: Achha. Jhooth kyu bol rahe ho?

Abhi: Maine kaha jhooth bola? Sach mein busy hu yrr

Avu: I know busy ho. But internships wala to bahana hi hai. I know aap kaha busy ho aaj kal

She said smirking and Abhi blushed understanding her meaning.

Abhi: Apni padai par dhyaan. Lecture hai na tera?

Avu: Lecture to hai but aap baat matt badlo ab. I need details ok?

Abhi: Hnn okk. De doonga meri maa

Avu: That's like a good boy

She said pulling his cheeks. Abhi got irritated and jerked her hands.

Abhi: Tereko kitni baar bola ye sa nhi karna

He said rubbing his cheeks. Avu was laughing at him. He glared her. She kept a finger on her lips but couldn't control seeing his face and again started laughing. Abhi smiled and shooked his head.

Avu: By the way thodi der pehle kya hua tha?

Abhi: Kab?

Avu: Wo jab hum lawn mein the. Maine aapko ishara kia tha ki aakar. But you just left. Sab theek hai na?

Abhi: Nothing. Bass aese hi

Avu: It's okk bhai. Agar koi baat hai to you can tell me

She said keeping his hand on his arm.

Avu: Mujhse gussa the kya?

Abhi: Pagal hai kya? Tujhse kyu gussa hounga? Aur waise bhi tujhse gussa mehanga pad sakta hai

Avu: Wo to hai. To kya baat hai?

Abhi: Nothing much. Par ab tu itna insist kar rahi hai to. Actually wo jo ladka tere saath betha tha

Avu: Siddharth? He is my classmate. New admission hai. I was just trying to give him company and comfort him. Aap jaante ho kya? Aaphike hostel se hai. Shayad kahi dekha ho

Abhi: Actually he is kinda rude so

Avu: Oh. Kuch bola kya usne aapko?

Abhi narrated the incident of their first meet.

Abhi: Isilie I just thought not to come

Avu: I am sorry bhai

Abhi: Arre tu kyu sorry bol rahi hai? Tune thoda kuch bhi kia hai

Avu: I know. Aur sorry mein uske behavior ke lie nhi bol rahi

Abhi: To?

Avu: Aapko lage ki usne aapke saath aesa behave kia aur mein uske saath thi so. To I thought ki aapko bura na laga ho

Abhi: Arre pagal wagal hai kya? Mujhe kyu bura lagega. Aesa kuch nhi hai. Faaltu ki baatein matt socha kar. Theek hai?

Avu: Okk. But bhai you know I don't think he is actually some rude, spoilt kind of boy. If you try to talk to him na you will understand he is in some problem. I don't know I felt it. Aur usse aese judge karna isn't correct

Abhi: Avi dekh. Usne mere saath aese behave kia mujhe bura laga. Gussa bhi aaya. But doesn't mean I hate him or I have labeled him or something. Aur ho sakta hai kuch problem ho uski life mein ya situation aesi ho. And I understand that. It's just I didn't want to make him or myself or even you for that matter awkward or uncomfortable. Wo firse kuch bol deta so I just thought to leave and not go near him. Aur koi baat nhi hai. And trust me agar wo aaj bhi aakar mujhe bolega I need your help or something to mujhe koi problem nhi hai

Avu nodded.

Abhi: Achha abhi chal teri class aa gyi. Go attend your lecture

Avu smiled.

Avu: Ya okk bye bhai. See ya

Abhi: Bye

Abhi went to library while Avu went inside her class.
