She rushed to the balcony and took out her phone. She called her sisters : Divya, Khushi and Nikitha.

"Hello, tell me Rithu",Divya answered the call followed by Khushi.

"Rithuuuu",Khushi shouted

"My love Rithu",the last was Niki akka [ Nikitha sis]

"Akka, Divu, Khu, It's all done",she said.

"Rithu! What happened? Your chocolate stock is over?",Divi asked.

"No, no I guess the male lead betrayed the female lead",Khushi said.

"Rithu you tell us, what happened",Nikitha asked.

"Aravind is in a relationship",she said sadly.

"WHAT? You are kidding me right?",Nikki asked not believing her words.

"No, akka[ sis] Why would I joke in this serious matter",sadness and hurt were clearly visible in her tone.

"Rithu shh, calm down. I know there are a lot of things running in your brain, just calm down. First you go get some water",Khushi said and Rithu followed what she said.

"Yes! Did you drink?",Khushi asked and she said yes.

"See Rithu! It's not easy to forget. But you can try to. We will go on a short vacation this coming weekend. You can divert your mind",Divya said.

"hmm",Rithika just hummed.

"Not convinced. How about we come now and pick you up? We will go out somewhere?",Nikitha suggested.

"Yesss!! I want to escape from here. I love you all! And Miss. Divya, we are going to go on a vacation. That's final!!",Rithu said.

"We will be there in an hour. Just get ready and escape love",Nikki akka shouted and Rithu laughed.

"Yayyy! Yayyy! Finally she smiled",All the three of them shouted.

She hung up the call and packed all her things. Now the only thing she has to manage is Miss. Cockroach and Mr. Aravind.

She slowly tried to walk away from the place. She was almost so close that she would escape.

"Rithu",she heard Aravind's voice.

Rithu's m.v : Why? I was peacefully escaping from this torture? Why should you see me? Can't you just close your eyes for a few mins? I will ask nikki akka to chop you into pieces and then feed you to sharks in chocolate land.

"Yea! yes bava",she turned around giving the best smile she can ever give.

"You are going without informing us?",he asked her.

"No, no bava. I was just, I thought I will text you after going home",she tried to cover up.

"Anything urgent Rithu? Are you okay?",he asked with concern.

Rithu's m.v : Yes yes! Now you ask as if you have your whole concern and love for me. Mr. Drama King.

"Ah! Yes I am alright. Perfectly alright. Just now, my friends called me up and I needed to go. If I don't they will kill me",she said smiling widely.

"Our work is also almost done. We were planning to go out",Aravind said.

"Oh wow! No problem then. You guys carry on. I will take my leave. It was nice meeting you Sravya akka. Bye bye",she was about to rush.

"Would you mind if we join you Rithu?",Sravya asked. Rithu stood there rooted with no emotion on her face.

"Ah! I won't mind but actually my friends are really one of a kind. They can't mingle with new people easily. It will be pretty uncomfortable",she tried to divert them.

"No problem. We can understand. If we meet often we will also become close. I will also be your relative soon right?",Sravya said while Aravind nodded his head.

"I will inform them. You guys get ready. I will keep things in my home and come",she said trying her last chance to escape.

"Rithu, Amma won't say anything if you leave your things here. You can take tomorrow also. We can go from here. You both sit and talk. I will go change and come",he said and went without giving her a chance to talk.

"Do you need some water or anything?",Rithu asked Sravya.

"No, I am fine. Last year of B.Tech?",she asked.

"Not tech, B. Arch actually",Rithu said.

"Aravind's and your branch are the same? Wow. Like did you take it because Aravind took it or?",she asked bluntly.

"It's been in my brain since childhood akka. I don't know about bava! Which branch is yours?",Rithu asked.

"B. Tech I have never heard many girls going for B. Architecture and trying all those drawings and all. So I asked you. Don't take me wrong",Sravya said.

"It's okay! I believe I am unique myself", Rithika said.

"Hey! Already lost in talks. Shall we go?", Aravind asked.

"Aru, you look so handsome. Oh my god",she said and went to hug him.

Rithika turned her eyes from them and took the phone and went out to see where three of them reached and they were waiting near the entrance of the cellar.

"Nikki akka.......Divii............Khushiiii...........",Rithu shouted and went to them. They all shared a group hug.

"I missed you all so much. Dont kill me but Aravind and his girlfriend are joining us now",she said leaving all the three in shock.

"Can't he just leave you alone? Why in the hell he has to come wherever you go? I am not allowing him and his chipkali [ lizard in the actual sense how Sravya is sticking to Aravind ] with us. That's all", divi said.

"See, see how clingy. Arghh",nikki shouted.

"They are in a relationship. Can't help sistas. Now the whole day, we have to bear their romance", Khushi said.

"Hey, Rithu these three are your friends?",Sravya asked.

"Yes! This is Nikitha akka, this is divya and this is Khushi",she introduced three of them to Aravind and Sravya.

"Hello, Aravind anna [ brother ] , Nice to meet you",Khushi said.

"Heya Anna, Good to meet you",Divi said.

"Hey Aravind. Good to see you",Nikitha said.

"Hey Divi, Niki and Khushi. It's a pleasure to meet you all",he said smiling.

"Hop in we are getting late", Niki said. Sravya was glaring at them as they didnt say hello to her.

"Rithu, you know what? People nowadays are being too judgemental and one of my friends literally killed the person with words when she judged about her studies. We all must learn that too. Right Sravya?", Divya stated.

"Ah! um yes you are right Divya",she was struggling to select words.

"Where are we going?",Sravya asked sweetly.

Divya texted Rithu to know if Sravya was scared of something. Rithu replied that she was scared of ghosts and cockroaches.

Divi's m.v : Strange! I have never seen cockroaches being afraid of cockroaches and devils being afraid of devils. Fun fact .

"We are going to eat some momos first and then go to my home and see NUN movie in my home theatre. The sound effects are amazing. Anna and Sravya akka, you should join us",Divi offered them to come home.

"Yea sure! We would love to", Aravind said while Sravya made a face.

"Aru, you know right? I hate the horror genre",she said clingy.

"It will be fun Sravs. Just for this time",he said and convinced her.

They all ate momos and Rithika was walking like a crazy person while coming back to the car, and one bike was coming at high speed.

Aravind quickly rushed to her and pulled her aside.

"What do you think you were doing on road Rithu? Don't you have common sense? How can you do stunts on road Rithu? What if something happens to you? Who will be responsible?",he shouted at her.

Sravya was shocked seeing Aravind like that, he was not a person who would be affected most by emotions or feelings.

"I didn't see bava, sorry and thanks",she said.

"What sorry and thanks Rithu? Thanks to muruga nothing happened. If something would happen then what would I answer to everyone and myself?",he asked.

Rithika just stared downwards and quickly apologized to him. The three of them looked at each other and winked.

"My ship is sailing in the desert",Khushi told Sravya.

"Huh? What?",she asked confused

"Nothing, come we should go home soon and watch NUN",Divi said and giggled.

They all drove to Divi's home. Everyone went in. They settled down on the couch and the movie started playing.
