Arjun looks surprised when that girl sat beside him. He gets embarrassed when he realised, he did not ask her to sit before. "Hi. I am Arjun. He is Sahil, my brother," introduce themselves to her...
Sahil raised his head from the lunch box. Smiles at her again start to eat his food...
The girl chuckles seeing Sahil act, "I am Swara. Nice to meet you both. Which standard were you both?" asks them...
Arjun "I am 5 standard. He is 1 standard. And you??" asks her...
Swara "I am 3 standard. It won't be bad if we became friends, right. So let's, friends," ask him extending her hand to him with twinkling eyes...
Arjun was dumbfounded seeing her instantly asked about their friendship. Is she kidding?. No one till now asked them friendship. Since they are new here...
Sahil happily holds her hand "friends," says shaking hand with her...
Arjun smiles at them "friends," says after Sahil. He can see his brother smiling after their parents passed away. Even he does not understand where they were gone now. He used to ask him when will their parents come back and take them with them. For which he never had answer tell him back...
Swara " I will meet you both tomorrow, Bye" saying it she runs from there...
Arjun and Sahil look at her dryly. They do not understand what happened with them just now. She came, gave them lunch and asked about their friendship and runs away...
Sahil "Bhai, she left her tiffin box with us," says him. Looking at the box in front of him...
Arjun turns here where she runs away before. Finds her gone "we can give this to her tomorrow. She told me she will come to see us tomorrow. Come on let's leave for our classroom," says standing from his place. Sahil nods his head gets up. Holds his hand, both of them left the place...
Next day
At lunchtime...
Arjun and Sahil wait for that girl. She is their only friend here. So thought to wait till she came there...
Again those boys gang comes there to irritate them...
Boy 1 "hey, you both escaped yesterday. Now what will you do?" asks smiling at them...
Boy 2 "look like today you both have taken extra box also. Is it for us?" asks them seeing the extra box with them...
Arjun " listen we do not know you. Why are you disturbing us? We've done nothing to you. So why this all?" asks them...
Boy 3 "we like to disturb others. Especially like you kids," says smirking at him...
A voice came from behind them " Then I like to punch you all. What about that? like it ?" asks them...
All look back to know who came here with this confidence...
Arjun looks on shocked seeing her here at this time. "Swara," says in shock. Gets worried when that boy glaring at her. "Swara, you go from here," says her. Not liking to drag her in their problem...
Boy 1 "you are here?. What are you doing here," says her looking angrily...
Swara " Why is this place yours. It is the school I am a student of of course I can go wherever. What is your problem?. Do not you know how to behave with elders. Why are you doing wrong things? If you want food. Then go ask your mother's to give over extra food for you all," says snapping at him back...
Arjun stares at her speechlessly...
While Sahil looks at her with sparkling eyes...
Boy 2 "Swara, you stay out of it. It is not your business," says her...
Swara "I won't. They are my friends. I won't allow you all bully them," says glaring at him...
Boy 3 sighs "leave it guys. Let's go. Like we won't listen, she also won't listen to us. Stubborn girl," says gritting his teeth...
Swara scowls " is it?. Then what about this? I will tell report it to principal sir. Including what you all done with them yesterday. Get ready for punishment," says him...
Boy 3 "no-no, Do not do that. We will say sorry to them," says hurriedly hearing the principal name...
Swara " better. You all should say that to them. And do not you dare to disturb them from onwards," warns them...
They nod their head, left the place immediately. After saying sorry to them...
Sahil "Dhi, you are superb. You know?" says hugging her seeing the boys run away...
Swara giggles hug him back...
Sahil kissed her cheeks...
Swara gets surprised when Sahil kissed her. "why this kiss?" asks him...
Sahil "you saved us from that bad boys. That is why I am happy. so," says smiling at her showing his full teeth to her...
Swara "oh so cute," says kissing him back...
Arjun chuckles seeing this two of them. They both forget him. "thanks. Why did you come?" asks her...
Sahil "Bhai, why are you asking her not to come and see us?" asks him angrily...
"...." Arjun " when did I say that?. I mean," try to say what he thought...
Swara cuts him " I know what you are trying to say. Do not worry, I won't be in trouble. Here the food for you both have it," says handing over them food boxes...
Arjun "we have our food. Thanks for thinking about us . This is your tiffin box. You left it with us yesterday," says giving her the yesterday box which she left behind when she left...
Swara takes that box from his hand. "I had seen you both are having the same roti and dal. we are friends now do not think much have it," says putting boxes on his hands when she takes that box from his hand...
Sahil " thank you Dhi. You know what? I like your food," says licking his lips...
Arjun has no way to reject that. the only option he has now is to accept that...
Arjun "mm, can you join us if you do not mind. We do not have any friends here," asks her...
Swara "oh hello I am your friend now," says him placing hands on her waist on either side...
Arjun smiles at her childish act she looks more adorable when she gets angry. "you look good in fake anger also," says laughing at her...
Sahil also giggles seeing her look that is look funny for him...
Swara "even you are looking good while you were smiling. Are you both new here??" asks them...
Arjun "ya. and you?" after asking her. He scolds himself in his mind, how stupid you are?. If those boys went that means she knows them...
Swara " I am also new here," says grinning at him...
Arjun gets shocked "what??" He did not expect this reply from her. "but you were talking to them like you know them well," asks her doubtfully. Does she also with them thinks in his mind...
Swara "even they bullied my legs. When I came here the first time. I had reported it to principal sir directly. That is why they are scared of me," says him smiling wide like she has done a great job...
Sahil "why dhi? Do not you like your old school? That is why you changed to this school," asks cutely...
Swara "ahh wo that, my parents shifted me here," says smiling sadly...
Since they are new to her. They did not get that smile on her face was a fake and sad one...
Arjun " let that be, we are best friends from now on," says her. It is not bad to be with her. She is pure by heart. Helped them and bring food for them along with her lunch. It will be rude if he rejects her...
Swara " okay," says smiling excitedly...
Sahil "I am hungry. You both can talk later. Let's eat first," says poutingly...
Swara "awww. chotu," says pulling his cheeks...
Sahil "I am not chotu. I am big," says angrily hearing her calling him chotu...
Swara smiles teasingly at him "oh really. How much big??," asks pretending like she did not know that...
Sahil "I am in 1 std. so I am big one," says proudly...
Swara laughs looking at his expression...
Arjun "even I will call you chotu from now," says he also laughs with her. That looks funny...
Sahil " I won't talk to you both. And Bhai, you are supporting her. not me," says turns his head away from them. He forgets about his hunger...
Arjun looks at Sahil weird...
Swara winks at Arjun, "Arjun, today I bring Briyani. I do not think Sahil will have it. Why waste that food. Let's share it with ourselves what say?" asks him...
Arjun nods his head getting her act...
Arjun and Swara act like to take that box from Sahil...
Sahil in his mind ' what? Briyani? No, I want that?' seeing the hands coming to his box. He grabs one box "that was mine," says looking at them...
Swara smiles "okay okay. That was yours eat it. You have this, Arjun," says giving him another box...
Arjun took that box leaving their box behind. Thinking to eat it later...
Three of them had their lunch together happily talking with each other. But no one of them talked about their parents or personal things...
Like this days passed. Bypassing days their bond grow stronger. Sahil is now used to depend on Swara for everything. Arjun does not mind that. When he also liked her so much. He sees Swara, like his mom who used to care for them. She is doing the same thing. The difference is she is so small. Still has her way to care for others...
One day
Sahil was crying sitting somewhere. Arjun and Swara searching him everywhere. since he did not come to any one of them. Both get worried. Comes there sees him...
Swara rushes to him to immediately seeing him sitting alone...
Swara "chotu what happened?. Why are you crying sitting here?" asks him tensely...
