Chapter 7 - Party

"A wise man knows when and where one should stop"

Though the party was arranged by Aryan for his promotion. As always the star of the party was Aadrita.

Commotions could be heard even before she entered the hall.

Raksha shouted, "Hey, Ritu is back."

When Sravan saw both of them together, he commented: "Aai Aai Aai. Your love is still all same as before. Always together and all huh."

John joined in the fun: "Aryan didn't tell us that u r back."

Sravanpoked John on his forehead: "Oi don't u have a brain. Aryan arranged a party and Ritu is absent. Is it even possible?"

How can John not reply: "True. Aryan knows Ritu's schedule more than herself"

Raksha Sravan, John, Ritu, and Aryan were a gang in their college days. But Ritu and Aryan became best friends somehow.

Ritu felt like blood was rushing out of her head. What was happening? Why was everyone teasing her and Aryan?

"Come on guys shut up. Let me speak na. I am back. And what are u guys sprouting? You guys know that we are like siblings."

Saying that Ritu only hoped that Anu didn't hear any of that as Anu had slipped to her friends.

"Ok.ok. Let's get inside already. Party guys."Aryan tried to mediate in between.

It can be seen that though it was arranged as a batch party. The guys were still grouped department-wise.

Aryan assumed that since everyone has grown up and became leaders in their areas, everyone would converge. Who would have expected that these adults would express their pettiness and maintain their disputes between them?

Their college mainly had three branches.: Electronics, Electrical, and Computer Science. The Electronic and Computer department does get well together. But it's as if they have an invisible feud between Electrical that they are never able to make friends.

Ritu talked with everyone. Though Electrical people didn't like another department much. They still talked with her nicely.

After talking with everyone she went back to her group.

Ritu: Raksha, what was the need to say such things when I came?

John interrupted: Come on Ritu u know that Electrical guys were too much. They still think that they are superior or something.

Raksha: They are trying to matchmake Anu and Aryan. So we decided to matchmake both of u. Anyhow you two are very close.

Sravan: Anyhow even if u both don't get together at least they will feel uncomfortable. That's enough for us.

Ritu You guys are just unbelievable. How can you guys come up with such childish techniques? But next time keep me out of all this.

Ritu adored these friends of hers..though they were not as close as her and Aryan, they were still her best friends.

Raksha: Ok ok. We know.

Though so many things happened. Though they had their differences. The party still went on.

As the quote says " The show must go on...."šŸ˜€

Party was over by 11. Anu stayed with her friends in the hotel. So Aadrita and Aryan were alone when they went back.

Ritu was resting her head on the window sill thinking about something.

Suddenly Ritu asked: Aryan, Don't you think we are quite close.

Aryan: We certainly are and I love that.

Ritu: But your better half won't like that.

Aryan: Anu already knows about us.

Ritu: Aryan do you think she doesn't feel anything when our friends tease us?

Aryan: I don't think so.

Ritu: Did you even notice. I'm simply not sure if you like Anu. I mean, you just stick with me and chat about her. But have you ever expressed your like for her?

Aryan: I think she knows my liking or else why would she come today?

Ritu: Do idiot I am not telling you that she does not like you. I'm telling you that she has no idea you like her... I am curious whether you have confessed to her? Have you talked about your plans?

Aryan: Okk. Calm down, my Jaan. Is my attitude toward her not obvious. That I like her. And what's there to discuss?

Ritu: You are such a fool. Find some time to talk with her, understand her, and confess to her. Life and marriage do not happen without proper communication. I feel both of you haven't communicated well.

Aryan: Ritu, I had no idea you were a Love Guru?

Ritu: Idiot. Not everyone has 0 EQ like you!

Aryan: Hey don't say that. Even if I am a bit behind in emotions, I am good at perception. And I am so attractive that no one will notice my poor EQ.

Ritu rolled at his cheekiness. "I'll call a cab to get home tomorrow. I'll get dressed and go to the wedding from there. If I wait for you to wake up then I will miss the wedding."

Aryan: Good that you know.

Ritu: I think one day you will fall because of your sleepiness.

Aryan: Whatever I will never leave my sleep.

*Between friends when you can talk about anything without saying sorry or thank you then it means the relationship has changed to Best friends or Family*
