Everyone sat with popcorn in their hands. Nikitha sat in a corner,while Divya beside her, Khushi was seated between Rithu and Divya. The couple sat in a corner. It was more like a bed than a couch. 

"Shall we start?",Divya asked and all of them said YES excitedly except Sravya. She just snuggled into Aravind. He was ignoring her fears. 

Soon the movie started and as expected there were horror scenes, every now and then she was jerking and shouting like an idiot. At a point of time, she even cried which made all the 4 of them laugh along with Aravind. 

She got  up and went away after half of the movie. While the others enjoyed the movie. They had loads of fun, teased each other and laughed at their antics. Aravind also slowly got used to the gang. 

It made him wonder himself that he didn't go after Sravya, though she was scared. He prefered being with Rithu and her friends and had fun. 

It was almost late night at around 11:30pm when they completed watching the movie.

"Watching movie with your favourite people completes your day",Rithu said contently.

"True that darling! By the way Aravind anna, Sravya akka vanished in middle of the movie. Didn't you go to her?", Khushi asked.

"Uhmm! Well that...I was kinda too interested in the movie. I couldn't go. I will go now and talk to her. It was really great time, I totally enjoyed the time with you all. We'll catch up soon! If Rithu won't mind",he said teasing Rithu.

"Why would I mind? I would mind only if you guys become too close to each other and ignore me",she said and everyone giggled.

"Fine fine! Go see your Girlfriend before she gives you a heartbreak! Just kidding LoL",Nikitha said.

"Hahaha 😂! She won't do that",he replied.

"Woah! Noice you guys have a good understanding. That's so cuteeeeeeeeeee. Right Divi?",Khushi said.

"Yesh ofcourse. Rithu are you staying back?",Divi asked.

"I would have, but I need to submit my projects in uni tomorrow. So I need to go back home",she said pouting.

"I will drop you",Divi offered.

"Uhmm! Divya it's okay. She is my cousin only right? My mom would kill me if she knows I let her come with someone else being there with her",he said.

"Anna,will you drop Rithu?", Khushi asked.

"Yes! Ofcourse. I have my friend nearby. I will borrow his car and drive us back home. Unless Rithu has a problem I don't have any issues",he said genuinely.

"She won't have a problem Aravind, you go and come. We will wait for you", Nikitha said.

Aravind went to the living room to find it empty. He expected Sravya to be there atleast while surfing her phone or while being asleep. He took out his phone to see if she left any text or something but there wasn't anything. He shrugged off and called his friend to borrow his car.

On the other hand the four of them sat on the couch.

"He seems to be influenced by that cockroach darling",Khushi said.

"I guess the same too. If someone loves anyone really without any force then they would definitely atleast go and talk when she just got up and went away like that! I don't know but yeah there is something missing in their relationship istg",Nikki said.

"Leave it akka! There is no use of talking about that also", Rithu said.

"Miss. Rithika, well as promised where are we going on a vacation this week end?",Divya asked.

"Oh shit! I totally forgot about that. Lemme think and wait wait how about we go to Chikmagalur. It is amazing actually",Rithu said.

"Done! Chikmagalur it is then", Nikitha confirmed.

"Hey!",Aravind came and all of them looked at his side.

"Uhmm! Sorry I didn't mean to eavesdrop but I heard you talking about Chikmagalur. Are you guys visiting there?",he asked.

"Yea Actually for a change. All of us are stressed out now because of this classes and all so maybe a week trip", Nikitha said.

"I don't know if I can ask this,but yea. Can I join you all too?",he asked making all the potatosisters go in shock.

"What? You? But-",Divya was about to speak more but Rithika closed her mouth and took her to a corner.

Khushi stood there alone with Aravind. Nikitha also went to Divya and Rithika.

"Akka! I don't know what to answer",Rithika said.

"Sigh! I am confused too. We were planning these things to get you away from this mess but destiny seems to have some other plans", Nikitha said.

"It's okay akka! But if that cockroach comes I will just, she is so evil",Rithika made a sad face.

"I will take care of that Cockroach. I will roast her along with Khushi",Divya assured.

They came back to the place where Khushi was awkwardly dealing with Aravind.

"Sure Aravind! You can join us. By the way Will Sravya come too?",Nikitha asked.

"May not be. She has some works but yea! I will try to bring her along. She should not miss out fun with such good people",he said and smiled.

"Oh! We will be glad to have you with us. You guys are amazing too", Khushi said.

Divi nodded.

Divi's m.v : By chocolate lord grace if that cockroach won't come. I will be happy. But if she comes she will dig her own grave 

"Rithu come lets go",he said and Rithu nodded.

"Bye nikki akka, bye Khu and Divi", Rithika waved all of them.

Rithu and Aravind sat in the car. They put their seat belts and it hardly takes 15-20 mins to reach from Divya's home to Rithu's home.

"You have cool friends Rithu!",he said. She just smiled.

"Are they from our university? I have never seen them",he tried prolonging the conversation.

"Nope they aren't bava! They are my friends from social media and they are far better from the real life ones",She said thinking deeply.

"Oh! You found great ones",he replied.

"Yes indeed",she said.

"Tomorrow there is some pooja right. Aren't you staying back?",he asked.

"I will come back by lunch bava. It's in the evening so not a problem bava",she said.

"Oh okay!",he replied back and stayed silent.

"Where did Sravya akka go? I didn't find her anywhere after movie. Is she alright?",Rithu asked.

"I will see her tomorrow in office. I am taking a half day too",he said and she nodded.

They drove for next 10 mins and reached home.

"Good night bava! I will just go sleep",she said and got down.

"Rithu wait! Now will you go and disturb athai's sleep? No need. Appa isn't home so you can sleep in his room",he offered.

"Sigh okay! I have my things also there only",she said and went with him.
