Priya Pov

"Fast Shweta. You are taking hours for doing this simple thing!" Aunt shouted at Shweta and we all laughed at her.

"Devils! Come and help me" she complained like a kid.

We burst out laughing. She's a great doctor but she doesn't know anything when it comes to house hold chores.

Aunt ordered her to pack her bag for her journey and clean her room within tonight since she's leaving to Kashmir in tomorrow afternoon's flight.

And here, she's struggling with her clothes which are to be folded neatly and arranged in the cupboard.

She's packing her clothes and whatever she doesn't want, she has to fold it and arrange it in her shelf. And the funniest part is she's currently sitting on the bed, in the centre surrounded by clothes all around her.

She doesn't know how to fold her clothes. Though she managed to fold some of them, our hero Pranav helped her a lot.

He, being in the best of his strength and naughtiness, took all the clothes she folded and threw it on the floor. We can clearly see Shweta frustrated, but she never said anything to Pranav though this is happening since an hour as aunt said.

"I'm so done with this. I can't handle it anymore" she raised her hand to surrender. She quickly hopped out of the bed with Pranav in her arms.

"My boy, let's go and get ice cream. What do you say?" She asked Pranav and he nodded readily as if he was waiting eagerly for this.

She kissed his cheek and started walking towards the door when Kiran shouted.

"Mom, she's escaping from her work" he shouted to aunt.

And soon a pillow hit his head as he stumbled on his feet. I, Preeti and Kavya burst laughing again.

"Idiot!" Shweta shouted, with a glare on her face. Her eyes fuming, her eyebrows narrowed.

"Iiioot" Pranav imitated Shweta, with similar face expressions as Shweta.

"That's like my cutie pie" Shweta hugged Pranav and he smiled. Shweta is definitely going to spoil him way too much.

"Shweta, complete your work" Aunt's voice came from the kitchen.

"Mom, I'm folding all my clothes but this idiot Kiran is throwing them out of the shelf" she complained and this time Kiran's eyes were fuming.

These crazy idiots!

"Liar!! Stop lying you woman!" Kiran shouted back.

"You both are behaving like 10. Grow up guys!" Kavya calmed them down while Priya and I were watching the comic with tears filling our eyes.

"Then help me" Shweta said and finally after an argument of 10 minutes, we all agreed to help her.

Within half an hour, the world's biggest mess that is, her room is crystal clean.

Many of us are under the impression that girls are always neat and tidy in everything they do. But Shweta is a living exception to it. I should say she's only neat in her profession, nothing else.

This girl!
I wonder how her husband is going to bear her!

"Snacks is ready" Aunt's voice came as a relief to us. We all rushed downstairs and attacked the dining table like beggers who haven't seen food for years.

After an hour, we settled down on the coach watching TV.

Obviously, it was accompanied by stupid talks and silly fights of Shweta and Kiran.

"I have had enough of this crazy head. I'm going out for some peace, which I don't get in presence of this idiot here. I'm taking my boy with me" Shweta said and extended her hands to Pranav. He immediately jumped into her arms from Kavya's lap.

"Thank god, relief finally. Have a great time Shweta" Kiran said sarcastically.

"Definitely I'll have a great time Mr. Billionaire" she said walking out with her clutch in one hand with her car keys and Pranav in the other hand.

Yes, Kiran is a successful business man now and not to forget he earns millions every month. It was really a miracle to see the most lazy creature of our gang, or I must say the whole college earning billions within 7 years of stepping out of high school.

He always says that Preeti is the sole reason for his success. They used to fight like Tom and Jerry in high school but now they are like tree and koala, never apart.

God never fails to surprise us with his sudden twists...!

We heard her car leaving the door. Kiran sighed in relief. Shweta and Kiran were always like this since high school. Preeti and Shweta were always on one side pulling Kiran's leg but now Shweta cribs saying that she lost her partner in crime which is Preeti. She says that Kiran tricked her by taking Preeti on his side and Kiran always smirks at Shweta whenever this topic comes up.

Shweta even warns Preeti to rethink about her choice but Preeti asks her to shut the nonsense. These two never fail to entertain us. I miss Harish Bhai a lot. These pranks and craziness doubles up with Harish Bhai.

He's currently in an army camp. He and Dhanush Bhai were inseparable friends, but unfortunately Dhanush Bhai is no more. He wanted revenge from Yash as he was one of the major reasons for Dhanush Bhai's death. If Yash wouldn't have revealed the army secrets to the enemies, that brutal attack would have never occurred.

Harish Bhai put Yash behind the bars producing the voice record as a proof. He was a great friend and not to forget a great brother for Kavya even though they are not blood related. I'm very proud of him.

My thoughts were broken by the sound of my phone ringing.

I hurriedly left to the room to collect my phone.

A smile appeared on my lips knowing that Harish Bhai is calling me.

"Hello Harish! Hundred years!" I said in excitement as soon as I attended the call.

"Hey Priya. How are you? How's everyone there?" He asked with the same enthusiasm.

I walked out of the room talking to him with a smile on my face.

I noticed everyone's eyes on me when I entered the hall.

Preeti narrowed her eyes questioning me who's on the call.

"Harish" I mouthed her and everyone stood up from the sofa.

Preeti, Kavya and Kiran ran to me, trying to listen to our conversation. They are very happy to hear from Harish Bhai after months.

Just then Aunt came out of her room taking her bag in her hand. She excused herself saying that she her friend is expecting her presence at her house. We nodded and she left the house.

Shweta's brother had gone to his summer swimming classes and uncle had gone to his office. So it's only us and Shweta's grandmom in the house. Her grandmom is also resting in her room.

We all talked to Harish for a long time. He is unaware of anything that happened here a month ago. Yash's bail, his threating, Kavya's suicide attempt and finally Shweta's transfer to army.

I'm sure Harish will burst out on Kavya if he comes to know everything.

As expected he fumed at Kavya when I slowly revealed about her. Kavya begged for his apology with tears in her eyes. Finally after a long conversation, Harish forgave her, not before making her promise not to pull up such stupid stunts ever again.

The next half an hour, Kiran filled Harish's ears with all his nonsense and his business affairs. Come on! Who is interested in his stupid rants?

Then the phone was passed on to Preeti and they talked for few minutes.

Finally I took, no no, snatched the phone from her to talk to my brother.

"Hai Bhai" I said.

"Priya, just go somewhere away from them" he said and I felt some kind of insecurity in his voice.

"Is everything alright Harish Bhai?" I asked as I walked to Shweta's room.

"I want to ask you something" he said.

"Harish, I am out of their sight now. Tell me. Why are you sounding so tensed?" I asked him as I reached the balcony.

Thank god they were busy fighting for the tv remote and didn't notice me sneaking out to the balcony.

"Priya, don't tell this to anyone, ok?" He asked me.

"Harish, what is it? You are making me tensed. I won't tell it to anyone" I promised him.

"Where is Yash now?" He asked.

"Harish, didn't you ask Kavya about it?" I asked.

"No Priya, I didn't want to upset her" he said.

"I understand Harish. He's behind the bars now" I said.

"What???" He almost screamed.

I was confused. Why is he shocked? I understood that he is not pleased hearing this.

"What happened Harish? Aren't you happy hearing it? Kavya almost killed herself because of him and now he's behind the bars and Kavya is happy with Pranav now" I asked him.

"Yea yea, I'm happy. I was just shocked. That's it" he said trying to sound normal but I sensed something uncomfortable.

"Bhai, I know you very well. Speak it out whatever is bothering you" I said, expecting a positive answer.

"How did this happen? Who is behind his arrest? And why didn't anyone inform me about it?" He asked in an angry tone.

Why is he angry?

Whatever it is, I didn't want him to know that Shweta is behind all this. I'm pretty sure he doesn't like the idea of Yash being arrested. If I take Shweta's name, he'll be mad at her.

"Bhai, actually we found out that his dad is an illegal drug dealer. So we took advantage of it and took the help of Chennai Assistant Commissioner's help and arrested him I know he's not into his dad's business but we had to do this for Kavya and her happiness. We blamed him and made him look like heir of his dad's illegal affair and got him arrested" I said not taking Shweta's name.

"But why? Why did you guys have to get him behind bars? Can't you handle this in any other way? Kavya was stupid to take that decision. You guys could have explained her calmly and even talked to Yash personally. But what you did was utter rubbish" he said surprising me.

Is it really the same Harish?

Who cared for Kavya like his own sister?

Who sacrificed his own life for Kavya and Pranav?

Who was against Yash's and got proofs against him?

"Bhai what's wrong with you? Why are you against it?" I asked totally confused.

"Umm... nothing. I'm not against it or something. I'm just saying that it is morally incorrect. Anyways, who gave you this idea?" He asked me.

"We only planned this. Who else will be behind this?" I said, trying not to stammer cause he knows very well when I lie.

"Priya, don't forget I'm like your brother and I can easily sense whenever you are lying" he said. I told you!

"Harish, why will I lie to you?" I said trying to remain calm with my words.

"Ok, if you say so. Take care of everyone and also yourself. I'll be returning very soon hopefully." He said and a smile crept on my lips.

"Yes, hopefully Bhai" I said.

"Where is my master? My cutie pie?" He asked and I almost giggled listening to him.

Even Shweta calls Pranav Cutie pie!

They are so similar yet alike!

"Priya, why are you giggling?" He asked.

"Nothing Bhai" I said and we talked about other things. He asked me about my future plans which I had no idea of. He adviced me to do something unique and as always he will support me in my dreams. He's truly an ideal brother every woman would dream for.

After our half an hour talk, we finally hung up.

I still can't understand why is Harish supporting Yash indirectly and defending him. I am sure he's hiding something from us. Maybe because he didn't want us to get tensed. Anyways I'm sure Shweta will pull it out from his mouth. I wish and hope this shouldn't get any further complicated.

I didn't tell him anything about Shweta. Though he indirectly asked about her, I back questioned him and he dropped the topic. I smiled at his way of avoiding Shweta.

Don't worry Harish. Shweta will surely eat your brain when you will meet her in the camp.

Yes, Harish is in Kashmir where Shweta is transferred. I smiled at thinking about Harish's reaction when he's being bombarded with tons of questions by his love Shweta whom he's successful in avoiding for years.

After few hours, everyone returned home. I asked my friends not to tell anyone about Harish's call. When that idiot Kiran slipped his tongue saying Harish's name, I saw a spark of happiness and excitement in Shweta's face. But somehow Preeti managed to cut off Kiran and Shweta's face dropped down for a moment.

I smirked to myself. Just a day more dear, then you can see Harish and confront him.

After our dinner, we all retired to bed tiredly and soon drifted off to sleep.
