Canteen
Aarohi shook him again.
"Arey Ishvik, uth na."
But he didn't wake up.
She looked around and noticed a jug of water nearby. A mischievous smile appeared on her face.
"Sorry, Ishvik."
Without wasting another second, she poured the water over him.
"Ahhh!"
Ishvik immediately sat up.
The first thing he saw was Aarohi standing in front of him. Then suddenly, he remembered everything.
He whispered in horror,
"Aa-ro-hi... be-hen..."
"Aee! Pagal ho gaya hai kya?" Aarohi snapped. "Behen hogi teri, biwi!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, she froze.
Arey... iski biwi toh main hi banungi na... Shit! Khud ko hi roast kar diya.
"Huhhh?" Ishvik looked confused.
"Kuch bhi nahi. Aur haan, main teri behen nahi hoon. Pehle apna haath toh dekh."
Slowly, Ishvik looked at his wrist.
There wasn't any rakhi.
Instead, there was a friendship band.
And written on it were the words-
'Mere Pyare Dushman'

His eyes widened.
"Yeh... rakhi nahi hai?"
Aarohi shook her head.
Seeing that, relief washed over him.
Without thinking, he directly hugged her tightly.
And before he could realize what he was doing-
He kissed her cheek.
Aarohi froze.
Completely.
Ishvik, still smiling in happiness, said,
"Yeh rakhi nahi hai... hushhh!"
Then he realized.
He was hugging her.
And...
He had kissed her.
His cheeks and ears instantly turned a deep shade of pink.
Aarohi was still standing there, frozen.
Seeing her silence, Ishvik panicked.
Ab toh main gaya.
And without another word-
He ran away.
After a few moments, Aarohi slowly raised her fingers to her cheek and touched the place where he had kissed her.
A smile unknowingly appeared on her face.
But after a few seconds...
That smile disappeared.

Sports Room
Eshaan was still unconscious.
Saanvi had already gone into panic mode.
"Ab kya karu?"
She gently patted his cheeks.
"Eshaan... uth na."
But there was no response.
Seeing a bottle of water nearby, she quickly brought it and sprinkled some water on his face.
Slowly, Eshaan opened his eyes.
The moment he saw Saanvi, without realizing anything, he started speaking.
"Yaar tum aisa kaise kar sakti ho? Main idhar tumhe pasand karta hoon aur tum ho ki mujhe apna bhai banane pe tuli hui ho!"
"Aisa thodi hota hai."
"Ab kya muh dikhaunga jab pata chalega ki meri hi crush ne mujhe rakhi bandh di..."
Before he could continue, Saanvi made him drink water.
"Kitna bolte ho ek baar mein! Aur pehle apna haath toh dekho."
"Kya dekhu aur kyu dekhu? Ab rakhi bandhi na... ab kya gift bhi chahiye?"
"Dekho pehle."
He unwillingly looked at his wrist.
"Haan, bohot achi hai-"
Then he stopped.
It wasn't a rakhi.
It was a friendship band.
His eyes widened.
"Huh?"
Saanvi smiled.
"Haan toh? Kya bol rahe the abhi?"
"Pasand?"
"Crush?"
Only then did Eshaan realize everything he had confessed.
His ears and neck instantly turned soft pink.
He lowered his head.
"Haan toh kya ho gaya?" he muttered softly. "Crush ho... aur pasand ho... isliye toh bola."
"Ohhh?"
Saanvi smiled.
"Kabse?"
Eshaan was about to answer when he heard footsteps approaching.
He quickly stood up.
"Please kisi ko mat batana ki main behosh ho gaya tha."
"Specially woh Ishvik aur Netrabhan ko nahi."
"Nahi toh mera mazaak banayenge."
Saanvi giggled.
"Theek hai."
"Lekin maine bhi kuch poocha tha."
Eshaan's blush deepened.
"Baad mein bataunga."
"Abhi main chalta hoon."
Saying that, he quickly ran away.
His ears and neck were still pink.
Watching him leave, Saanvi shook her head and smiled.
"Pagal."
Completely unaware that she herself was smiling like an idiot.
__
But none of them knew that someone had witnessed everything.
The terrace scene.
The canteen scene.
And the sports room scene.
And that someone was none other than Shivani and her friends.
One of her friends whistled and said,
"Yahan toh aashiqui chal rahi hai bhai."
Another one laughed.
"Sab ke sab aashiqui karne mein lage hue hain."
Everyone laughed except Shivani.
She remained silent.
Because after seeing the terrace scene between Netrabhan and Kashvi, she was burning with jealousy.
The way Kashvi had sat on his lap...
The way he held her face...
The way they looked at each other...
It made her blood boil.
One of her friends said,
"Shivani, chalo chalte hai mam ke paas."
"Haan," another girl agreed. "Zara mam ko bhi toh pata chale."
Shivani smirked.
Without wasting another second, all of them headed towards the staff room.
Luckily, only the Mathematics teacher was present there.
"May we come in, ma'am?"
"Yes."
"Ma'am, hume aapse kuch important batana hai."
The teacher frowned.
"Kya baat hai?"
And one by one, they narrated everything.
About Netrabhan and Kashvi.
About Ishvik and Aarohi.
About Eshaan and Saanvi.
The Mathematics teacher's expression darkened.
After hearing everything, she said,
"Call all of them."
A victorious smile appeared on Shivani's face.
Soon, Shivani and her friends entered the classroom.
Everyone was busy doing their work.
Stopping in the middle of the class, Shivani spoke loudly,
"Netrabhan, Eshaan, Ishvik, Kashvi, Saanvi and Aarohi... Mathematics mam is calling you all in the staff room."
All six of them looked up.
Kashvi, Saanvi and Aarohi immediately noticed the smirk on Shivani's face.
But they didn't react.
"Chalo," Netrabhan said softly.
And all six of them left for the staff room.
On the way, Saanvi whispered,
"Kyu bula rahi hongi?"
Aarohi frowned.
"Woh bhi khali hum log ko hi kyu?"
Kashvi quietly looked at Shivani's retreating figure.
Something didn't feel right.
Meanwhile-
Ishvik, Eshaan and Netrabhan exchanged confused glances.
But none of them said anything.
Soon, the six of them reached the staff room.
And now-
All six of them were standing outside the staff room door.
Completely unaware of what was waiting for them inside.
____
Outside the staff room door, all six of them stood nervously.
Ishvik looked around and asked,
"Kaun pehle jaega?"
Eshaan immediately nodded.
"Haan, kaun pehle jaega?"
Ishvik grinned.
"Haan toh... ladies first. Tum log jao pehle."
"Excuse me?" Aarohi narrowed her eyes. "Kya ladies first huhh? Ab toh tu hi sabse pehle jaega."
Before he could react, she pushed him inside.
The door suddenly opened.
The Mathematics teacher looked up and raised her eyebrows.
Ishvik quickly stepped back out.
"May we come in, mam?"
She nodded.
All six entered quietly.
Nobody dared to speak.
Eshaan slowly whispered to Netrabhan,
"Kuch bol na. Mam ne bulaya hai."
"Main?" Netrabhan whispered back.
Ishvik and Eshaan nodded together.
"Haan."
Finally, Netrabhan cleared his throat.
"Mam, aapne bulaya hume?"
The teacher turned towards them.
"Haan."
Then she folded her arms.
"Kya chal raha hai?"
Ishvik instantly replied,
"Ek dum badhiya, mam. Aap batayiye-"
Five pairs of eyes glared at him.
He coughed.
"Sorry."
Aarohi frowned.
"Kya matlab?"
Mam looked at all of them.
"Kya chal raha hai tum sabhi log ke beech mein?"
Everyone froze.
Kashvi asked softly,
"Mt-lab?"
Mam replied calmly,
"Terrace... canteen... aur sports room scene?"
Now everyone froze completely.
Fear slowly crept into their hearts.
"Explanation dena hai kuch? Ya fir aise hi khade rahoge?"
Nobody spoke.
Then she looked at Netrabhan.
"Netrabhan."
"Yes, mam."
"Tum toh head boy ho na? Aur tum yeh sab kar rahe ho?"
"Sorry, mam."
She sighed.
"Woh toh achha tha staff room mein sirf main thi jab Shivani yeh sab batane aayi."
"Warna koi aur teacher hote toh tum sab abhi principal ke cabin mein hote... woh bhi parents ke saath."
Hearing the word parents, Kashvi immediately became scared.
"Please mam... parents ko mat bulaiyega."
The others also nodded quickly.
"Haan mam, please."
The teacher smiled softly.
"Nahi bula rahi hoon."
"Par tum log bhi thoda sambhal ke raho."
"Koi aur yeh sab dekh leta toh tum sab gaye the, samjhe?"
All six looked at her in shock.
She noticed their expressions and smiled.
"Kya aise kyu dekh rahe ho?"
"Mujhe pata hai yeh sab normal hai iss age mein."
"Lekin dusro ke liye nahi."
"Isliye thoda sambhal kar."
Then she added teasingly,
"Zyada school romance mat karna."
"Mammm!"
All six shouted in embarrassment.
She laughed.
"Kya? Main bhi jaanti hoon kya kya hua hai sports room mein."
She looked towards Saanvi and Eshaan.
"Kyu?"
Both of them instantly lowered their heads.
Then she smiled again.
"Aur canteen mein..."
"Sach kahun toh mujhe lagta tha Aarohi aur Ishvik janam ke dushman hain."
"Lekin yahan toh kuch aur hi chal raha hai."
"Kyu, Aarohi aur Ishvik?"
Aarohi immediately said,
"Mam, yeh toh hai hi pagal."
"Aur iska aur mera... woh bhi kuch chal raha hai? Aisa ho hi nahi sakta."
Ishvik nodded dramatically.
"Wohi toh! Mera kuch chal raha ho... woh bhi tere saath? Sapne mein bhi nahi."
Mam laughed hearing them.
Then she smiled mischievously.
"Aur ab hum aate hain main couple pe."
Saanvi and Aarohi immediately became excited.
"Haan haan mam, yehi toh hai!"
Before Aarohi could continue, Kashvi pinched her hand and glared at her.
Mam chuckled.
"Cute."
Kashvi blinked in confusion.
"Huhh?"
Mam smiled warmly.
"Yeh log toh khud mere favourite ban gaye."
"Kya terrace scene tha."
Ishvik's eyes widened.
"Aisa kya tha, mam?"
"Beta, tum dono se kaam hi tha."
Hearing that, Ishvik quietly shut his mouth.
Meanwhile, Kashvi and Netrabhan's cheeks had already turned soft pink.
Kashvi shyly said,
"Please mam..."
Mam chuckled.
"Theek hai."
"Lekin yeh sab ke chakkar mein padhai ko side mat rakhna."
"Mujhe pata hai tum log padhne wale bachche ho."
"Phir bhi."
Everyone nodded.
"Theek hai, mam."
Then she added with a smile,
"Aur haan."
"Class mein aise jana jaise maine tum log ko bahut daanta ho."
"Taki kisi ko shak na ho."
Everyone nodded again.
Ishvik folded his hands dramatically.
"Wah mam!"
"Aap toh ekdum lajawaab ho."
The teacher laughed.
"Chalo chalo, ab class mein jao."
All six smiled.
"Thank you, mam."
And after that, they happily left the staff room and started walking towards their classroom.
Completely unaware that Shivani and her friends were waiting to know what had happened inside.
___
After coming out of the staff room, Saanvi crossed her arms and said angrily,
"Yeh Shivani ka kuch karna padega."
Aarohi nodded immediately.
"Haan! Humesha kuch na kuch karti rehti hai. Pata nahi kya problem hai."
Everyone agreed.
Except Kashvi.
She was still lost in her thoughts.
Without noticing, she kept walking ahead.
Seeing this, everyone started following her.
Ishvik called out,
"Arey Kashvi, kya hua?"
She came out of her thoughts and gave a small smile.
"Kuch nahi."
Soon, all of them entered the classroom.
And as instructed by their Mathematics teacher, they purposely made faces as if they had been scolded badly.
Seeing their gloomy expressions, Shivani was secretly very happy.
She smirked.
Serves them right.
After a few minutes, she walked towards them.
"Kya hua tum log ko?"
"Mam ne kyu bulaya tha?"
Aarohi looked at her and replied calmly,
"Kyu? Tumhe nahi pata kya?"
For a second, Shivani became nervous, but quickly hid it.
"Nahi toh."
Saanvi clenched her fists in anger.
But remembering what the teacher had said, she controlled herself and remained silent.
Aarohi simply shrugged.
"Kuch nahi. Aise hi."
Shivani observed all their expressions carefully.
Seeing their sad faces, she became satisfied and walked away.
As soon as she left, everyone secretly sighed in relief.
But one person still wasn't relieved.
Kashvi.
She was unusually quiet.
And Netrabhan noticed it.
So did Eshaan.
So did Ishvik.
Even Aarohi and Saanvi noticed that something was bothering her.
But none of them asked anything.
The entire day passed like that.
Classes continued.
Teachers came and left.
Students chatted and laughed.
But Kashvi remained unusually silent.
And every now and then, Netrabhan would steal glances at her.
His heart felt uneasy.
Because his Aarzoo, who usually smiled softly or got shy whenever he looked at her...
Was completely lost somewhere else to
day.
Soon, the final bell rang.
School was over.
Everyone packed their bags.
"Bye!"
"Kal milte hai!"
One by one, everyone started leaving.
And after saying goodbye to each other-
Everyone returned to their homes.
But even after reaching home...
Kashvi's mind was still occupied by the same thoughts.
And somewhere else-
Netrabhan too was worried.
Because he knew-
Something was bothering his Aarzoo.
And he didn't know what.
So here ends the chapter...
