RITIKA'S POV

Aadi, Zoya and I had snacks silently sitting in the garden. The garden at Aaditya's house was my favourite place. The fragrance of roses and daisies always uplifts my mood.

No one talked in between. Aadi was trying to cheer me up but my mind wasn't there. And surprisingly I wasn't upset over anything. If it was any other time I would've locked myself in a room.

But today I just ignored what Zoya said and only Satvik's words rang in my brain.

"You know you should not think about what people say because they will say whatever their shitty mind tells them."

"You should not shed your tears on any person, in fact why only tears you shouldn't waste anything on others instead you must smile see how I'm smiling."

"If you don't smile genuinely then I've my ways to make you smile."

"I believe in practical darling than giving demonstrations."

And a smile hit my face.

"Rits, Zoya let's go inside," Aadi said and I came back from my dreamland. Why was I thinking about Satvik most of the time?

"Ritika when did you came, beta?" As we entered the house I heard Raghav called me loving.

I quickly went near him and bent down to touch his legs. Indian traditions!

"Daughters never touch legs!" he said and didn't let me touch his legs and hold me by the shoulder. He hugged me by one side.

"Raghav, you go, change and come fast." Anamika aunty said.

He went to his room. Zoya was glancing from time to time at Aadi and he wasn't even sparing a look to her.

"Rits let's watch the movie it's still time for dinner and I'm damn bored," Aadi said and walked towards me as Zoya came to him and opened her mouth to say something.

"Okay! come to Zoya let's go." I said and followed Aadi. Zoya too followed us. It was only 6 in the evening and we had 3 more hours to have dinner.

We watched 'Avengers: Endgame' and I got emotional as iron man died. I watched that movie more than 5 times but still, I can't digest that scene.

Zoya always makes fun of me when I cry or get emotional while watching a movie but surprisingly she didn't even say a word since evening.

Aunty called us for dinner. She had prepared Italian food as I loved it. I like Indian food but mostly non-veg and today is Saturday. So we can't eat nonveg.

Aunty and uncle shifted to London a long time back but they haven't forgotten the traditions. Aadi eats nonveg any day but outside the house and aunty make sure he took bath before touching her on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

We had dinner. Aadi and uncle cracked some jokes and made the moments lighter. But the silence between Zoya, Aadi and me were distressing.

"Okay, aunty it's time to leave. Thanks for the delicious dinner." Zoya said to uncle and aunty.

I was shocked why was she leaving at this time. I know her house is at 10 minutes walking distance she can leave in the morning too.

"Okay, Aadi goes with her," Aunty said she didn't even ask her to stay back. Was I missing something?

"Rits come let's eat ice cream before we drop Zoya," Aadi said and Zoya glared at me from the corner of her eye.

"Aadi, actually I'm not feeling good. You go with Zoya." I lied to him and Zoya frowned.

I don't understand what this girl wants. I'm giving them privacy and she is frowning.

"What happened? You were fine till now? Let's call the doctor!" Aunty commented as she was scared.

"Zoya, the driver will drop you. I will take Ritika to hospital." Aadi said and now what should I say?

"Aadi, aunty nothing to worry I'm exhausted so I just want to sleep," I said and the frown on Zoya's face deepened.

"Dramebaz!" Zoya murmured under her breath.

"It's okay, Aadi, I'll go with the driver you stay rits need you more." Sarcasm was dripping through Zoya's tone. And aadi nodded his head. Zoya was upset as Aadi still didn't look at her.

"Aadi, I think I'll feel better after a walk let's drop Zoya," I said as I thought they both will at least try to talk.

"Okay!" Aadi said and we three walked over to Zoya's home. We on the way had ice cream but both of them didn't even say a word.

Aadi was mostly talking with me and I was facing Zoya's glares. We dropped her house and went back to Aaditya's house.

It was 11 pm when we reached back and I directly went to my room. I took a warm shower did my night care routine and went to bed.

I was scrolling my Instagram and I saw Satvik had followed me. I followed him back and sent him a text message.

Satvik(11.30 pm)

"Good night"

I waited for his reply for few minutes. Maybe he slept I thought and went to deep slumber.

AADITYA'S POV

I was pissed with Zoya. Her constant blabbering of useless things was getting on my nerves. I didn't talk with her since evening as I would rant my anger at her.

She was trying to get my attention when we were dropping her at her house but I didn't give any attention.

She is my best friend and I didn't want to affect our friendship because of my anger. I would talk with her later when we both are in our senses.

I want Rits and Zoya to become friends like we were in childhood. And also my selfish reason to send Zoya is to talk with Rits freely.

SATVIK'S POV

I went to my aunt's place and was happy to see aunty as uncle and I met regularly at the office.

"How are you, aunty?" I asked as I saw her. She hugged me tightly and caressed my forehead lovingly.

"Earlier I wasn't but now I'm fine!" She exclaimed happily. I gently pecked her forehead.

"Shubhu, did Satvik came or should I call him?" I heard my uncle's voice.

"I'm here! Rohit uncle." I screamed before aunty could say something.

I went inside with aunty and met uncle. He gave me a warm hug and patted my back.

"Since when we need such formalities, huh?" He said as I bent to touch his legs. I got up and sat on the couch.

"Hmm... The aroma of food is heavenly." I commented.

"First go and freshen up quickly, I will arrange the dining table," Aunty commanded. She always makes sure I wash my hands before and after food.

I got freshen up and settled myself on the dining table. As I opened the lid of the containers my mouth started watering.

Aunty had prepared lots of Indian dishes. Veg pulao, Palak Paneer curry, Chapattis and Rashogulla as a desert which is one of my favourites.

"Why didn't you made butter chicken? I was craving for it!" I exclaimed though I like vegetarian food butter chicken is Aunty's speciality.

"Today is Saturday, Satvik, and we don't eat nonveg on Saturday," Uncle said. Yeah! How can I forget that aunty is damn religious?

"Don't worry Satvik, I'll prepare butter chicken tomorrow. You are staying overnight right?" Aunty asked me and I nodded as I had some work related to hotels to deal with uncle.

We had fun while having dinner and I was glad that they didn't bring Riya's topic.

I discussed uncle the issues at the hotel while drinking. He said some drunk boys had created the mess and was sorted later. We talked till late at night and called for the night when uncle was high on drink and sang songs imagining me as aunty.

I went to my room. A message was popped on my phone and I checked the time, it was 11.55 pm.

'Good Night'

It was a message from Ritika and I quickly replied to her. Hoping she would continue the conversation but she didn't message me again.

She may be sleeping, I was smiling for no reason by seeing that message again and again. I also checked my Instagram and she followed me there too!

I switched off the light and sleep overtook my senses. There was a soft smile playing on my face.
