6 AM today I didn't care about the time. Everything seemed light and dancing with the music playing in the background, a tuning metal flute with piano and violin stretching the air. I sat by the stairs.
"What? How? " Not a single thing that seems problematical today."
"Not any homework left, nor any test if, then we have learned mostly all, nothing is distressing me, Today is the perfect day!"
Actually, there are only 3 days left for the exam: today, tomorrow, and Sunday.
The earlier 4 days were maestros as we had mastered the subject. OK, OK, we were not overwhelmed, but we were at a mature level, which is good that we could now acquire average marks. Surely we don't want to get marks, but moreover, we want to know more profound things in those subjects. It was like we now don't want just to ride a cycle but want to try every new stunt on it. Yeah, now Shyam and Ananya were best friends. I think that was the meaning of the poem. Still researching to understand
One case that happened in those days was when Shyam cracked his wall of integrity, which was stopping the emotion. He said, "This was just a crack, you haven't seen the wide range of liquid behind the dam." We were at the park, Ananya was on the swing, Jiya was standing grabbing the pole of the climb on which Jay was trying to hang, and Tarun and I were standing on the sand feeling it cold. Shruti was also on the swing alongside Ananya, and Shyam came from the back and held the shoulder of Ananya, pressing it down to try to make her fall.
"LOL," she laughed.
"I was not trying to do what you think..." claimed Shyam.
"Ohh mister," making a sarcastic face "I know you very well," Ananya said
"You may have before, but then, then I have changed a lot." He clamored
"Yeah, a lot..." Shyam and Ananya both looked at her angrily as Jiya said that
Ananya answered. Whatever the only thing I know is that the original self remains the same. Whatever happens, a person may change, but his or her true nature will always remain the same, and that is... Shyam broke her and continued himself "This is the thing that everyone loves, which never changes. Yeah, many claim that they have changed a lot since so and so. You may like that old me, but that is gone. "
However, they have a valid point! Ananya claimed
Yeah, surely they are right, but think of that person who loves... let's take an example like once I had my first love, the only one, and I waited for her for 3 years and last talked to her only once in that whole year. I only saw her and felt her and was fulfilled... then the vast separation came. I tried to find her everywhere. Where has she gone? Why did she go? I am still working hard only to say something to her that makes her smile. At last, I finally found her and also learned that she would never return, so I decided to go to her anyway. Before that, I tried to reach her on social media, and there I confessed to her what I was feeling because I couldn't wait for any longer after waiting for 6 years, and she was like, "I have changed a lot since so and so. You may like that old me, but that is gone. "
There was silence. Two guys were also heard sitting nearby.
For a while, there was a strike on my heart, but then I felt that it was not bad. I can't force her to..., but on my side, I will always love her, and the talk continued between us, but after a week, she texted, "I can take it anymore." meant what that ******* meant. Then after that, he waited for her since today! "
"Eventually still waiting ?" Jiya asked.
"Whom are you talking about?" I counter-questioned Shyam.
"You!" she answered.
"No, I am not that guy. I said assuming it was me," he answered.
"Hey, why don't you write a novel?" A guy in a yellow jacket came and spoke to Shyam.
"Who are you ?" Shruti asked, annoyingly.
"I am Nand," he said.
"Oh thanks, Nand," Shyam replied, "But I can't hurt her."
"Whom?" Shruti asked.
"No, one," Shyam answered smilingly.
Nand introduced Shlok, who was still standing with a grey t-shirt.
"Ohh, Dane," Tarun claimed.
"not its Australian Shepherd" Jay exclaimed
"What are they talking about ?" Ananya asked.
"Just a dog breed, resembling him," Shyam replied.
We all, along with Shlok and Nand, enjoyed playing with a tennis ball. It was a good day. We completed a study for that day earlier, and Shyam suggested we enjoy it.
"You look like something else !" Shyam claimed Ananya was suddenly
"Mean?" Ananya inquired, still sitting on the swing and ignoring Shlok, who was staring at her; Shyam was unaware of that, and said, "That means you don't seem to be from this world, and Ananya, that doesn't suit you properly!"
"Hmm. Then what would suit me? " She said, in a calm voice.
I don't know, but something great, cute, and... *SOFIA* Yeah, that suits you. " Shyam uttered,
"Sophia is a lovely name," Ananya exclaimed, her smile spreading across her face and shyness dimples.
"So, Sofia, let's go; it's high time," Shruti informed her.
"Hey..." Ananya answered, still looking red. "But Shyam, that name suits your entity perfectly."
By the time Shyam noticed Shlok, whose eyes were disturbing Sofia, one would get angry and start a fight, whether it be verbal or physical, but here was Shyam. She whispered something to Sofia in her ears, and she showed affirmation. Then after she didn't bother about him, Shyam signed Tarun. He took Shlok to one side, saying he would be back after a while. I tortured him to find out.
"Look, she is not of your type. Please don't make her feel uncomfortable. Think you understand what I am saying?" "Shlok," Tarun said in a formal voice.
"Ohh, sorry, my apologies for that, but she is so pretty I was helpless, but I promise this will not happen again." Shlok answered.
"Yeah, she is... but the thing is, what we see and what Shyam has a great difference. That's the reason they are both close." Tarun replied
That day, when our group expanded two more entries of Nand and Shlok because both came and became an integral part of our talk and scene, we went there every day and found them present.
It was Friday. We went to the park again. We played cricket while Shyam and Ananya were busy with their talks.
Tarun played well; we could not help making him out. Jay could, but Shruti was on his team. We thought to call Shyam to help, but then we recalled what happened once during group study when we called him while he was talking to Ananya
The scene was such that we were doing some problems from some reputed workbooks and were intensely submerged in that. Shruti, as her habit taunted Shyam
"So, Shyam, your work is done. Be aware that what if we all passed and couldn't manage that too!" she said in a monotonous voice.
He smiled and replied, "What if I tell your mom about Akashar to your mom "
"Wh...who is he?" she questioned, a bit worried.
I'm not sure, but Vedansh told me you were... dash... dash... dash... "Shyam informed
"Who is he?" I asked interestingly
"Just a friend, oh sorry, a neighbor of her," Ananya answered.
"Oh...."I exclaimed.
"Next time fight with someone of your level," Ananya said
Jay and Tarun came nearby, sensing the profoundness of the situation.
"Oh, so we can also tell your parents about yours," Jay claimed to protect Shruti
"And what will you tell?" Shyam asked
"that you are dating" Tarun added
"Ok, but please visit between 5-7 pm," Ananya exclaimed
"Overconfidence..."! Jay shouted
"It's not overconfidence, just think for a while, both are toppers of the class, well mannered, and respecting their parents, so what else do parents need? Even if they find out, they will surely be grateful, I think." Tarun explained
"And... and a point to be noted who said we are dating we have not specified that !" Shaym stated
Ananya looked a little worried after listening to that, but still, we don't know what happened that they were both partially in present not in love.
