Sid: Thanks bhai

Abhi: Arre is mein thanks kya? Ek to bhai upar se thanks bhi. By the way cheers

He said forwarding his glass full of juice. Unintentionally a smile came on Sid's face. He clinked his glass with Abhi's. They were sitting on terrace late at night with cold air blowing.

Abhi: Ab mere paas alchohol to hai nhi. Aur waise bhi hostel mein allowed to hai nhi. Pakde gaye to suspension. So juice ke saath hi kaam chala lete hai

He said chuckling after taking a sip. Sid also chuckled in response and took a sip. Abhi opened a packet of lays and forwarded in front of him. Sid took few pieces.

Sid: Anyways I don't drink bhai

Abhi: Okay noted bro. Well you never told about yourself. Like you just joined few months ago. Pehle kaha the. In fact I don't even know ki tum exactly ho kaha se

Sid got quite looking straight.

Abhi: Uh- wrong question I guess. It's okk. Let's change the topic. College ka baad ka kya plan hai kuch socha hai?

Sid: Filhaal to commerce pad raha hu

Abhi: Hmm. To hostel mein sab set ho gya hai? Koi problem to nhi aa rhi ab? Man lag gya hai na?

Sid nodded drinking his juice.

Abhi: Bro you are like comfortable with me na? I mean tum kuch bolte bhi nhi ho yrr. Ya tumhe achha hi aese lagta hai? Chup rehna and zyada baat nhi karna

Sid chuckled sadly.

Sid: Aesa nhi hai bhai. Umm I don't really know what to say. Mujhe to lagta bhi yahi tha ki I don't need anyone in life. Mein akela hi theek hu khud ke lie. But

Abhi: But? Abhi to you have friends right? So how do you feel about it now?

Sid thought for a moment. Abhi was sitting quitely drinking his juice and looking at Sid's face keenly waiting for his reply.

Sid: I don't know bhayia. I am really confused. I don't have answer for your questions yet. Honestly I am not able to answer my own several questions since years. Aapke questions ka mein kya answer doo bhai

He said chucking sadly. He controlled his tears somehow. Abhi decided to change the topic.

Abhi: So kal ke trip ke lie excited ho?

Sid: Let's see

He said keeping his glass. Abhi took the bottle.

Abhi: Le aur le

Sid: Arre nhi bhai bass

Abhi: Le le na

He was about to pour more but Sid forwarded his hand above glass to stop him.

Sid: Nhi bhai bass. Aur nhi chahie

Abhi: Okk. As you wish

They saw a girl walking towards the end of terrace with earpods in ears and cigarette in hand. Abhi sighed seeing her.

Abhi: Just a second

Sid saw him walking towards her. He snatched the cigarette and scolded her. He held his wrist and took her near Sid.

Abhi: Chal hamare saath beth and enjoy. Ye sab cigarette se hi relax nhi hota hai. Tereko kitni baar bola ye sab matt kia kar. It's too bad for health

Avu made a sab face and hugged her legs near her chest.

Abhi: Achha let it be. Let's enjoy together

Avu: Okk

They sat together eating and drinking and talking while Sid didn't speak much but enjoyed a lot.
