"Don't joke around, Rynah," I could see her becoming nervous.
"What would you do if he came to talk to you?" I asked her cheekily.
"I... I..." She was at the loss of words before she recovered immediately and completed, "I would smack him in the face."
Hearing her words I ended up roaring in laughter, while she tried shushing me. Typical Anjali.
"Smack who in the face?" We turned around to find Luv by the door.
"Of course, who else? Her idiotic brothers," Anjali smiled at my words. Luv just raised his eyebrow but didn't comment about it.
"Why are you here?" Anjali asked the question that had started to bother me.
"Those people left and our parents told me to inform you two," he shrugged making me and Anjali exchange looks.
"What?" Luv asked confused.
"How can we believe you?" Anjali placed her hands over her hips.
"That you are telling the truth?" I added folding my hands across my chest.
"Why can't you two believe me that I am here without any ulterior motive? By the way, I was strictly instructed to not cause any waggishness," he justified before turning around to leave. Anjali and I gagged at his words before bursting into full on laughter.
"Whatever," he grumbled before walking out.
Later that evening, I received a reminder from the office I was supposed to join from the next day. I had to be present over there sharp at nine with the appointment letter. I was already looking forward to it.
I was so happy that I didn't even mind Luv's and Kush's teasing. I just smiled and bore with them.
At last, it was time to get back home. To convey goodbyes to each other, our parents walked to the car, while I and Anjali gave each other a tight hug.
"Gosh, I miss you already," I breathed in her ear.
"You are closer to me than Tapasya."
"And you to me, than Ritika," I smiled.
"I heard that," came Ritika's remark making both me and Anjali roll our eyes.
"Take care," Anjali smiled as I and Ritika climbed into the backseat of our old white Maruti Zen. Waving at the Batra family, my dad started the engine and slowly drove down the lane. I turned around to take a good look at the Raivardhan mansion for one last time knowing that I would never be getting into that house again nor was I going to be able to meet any of them anytime soon. The streetlights did no justice to the structural beauty but still, I knew what it was like to be inside.
I sat back straight, exhaling a sigh and letting a knot to settle in my stomach. I didn't want to leave, not yet at least but nothing else could be done. Nothing else was meant to be.
Our paths were different, they weren't going to cross over again. I could only dream of them and their lifestyle, like how a regular hen could dream of a peacock, but not have him.
Only if I had known that fate worked in weird ways.

"Hello!I'm Rynah Kundra!" I smiled but the smile looked very lousy.
"Umm..." I licked my lips and straightened my shirt before trying again, "Hey! I'm Rynah!" But this time the smile was too wide and gave me an amateurish look, my raised hand was left hanging in the air.
"Okay, that will be awkward Rynah," I wiped my sweaty hands over my pencil skirt and smiled just a little, "Hi! My name is Rynah-" I trailed off when I noticed the lady three sinks down from me was washing her hands, the only problem was that she wasn't exactly washing her hands. She let the water flow as she stared at me having my rehearsal in front of the washroom mirror. I felt my cheeks flush. She stared down at me for a minute and then back up.
I smiled at her politely only to have her close the tap before rushing out of the washroom. I wouldn't be surprised if she took me to be a deranged female in the washroom. That was when I looked down and noticed my idiocy! I had worn my skirt inside out, and now it looked like I had worn a skirt for the first time in my life…
I was such a klutz!
