"Arnavvvvv", I whisper yell because the entire school is in the mess so don't want to make ascene.
"what?", came his reply
"What what where is my buttermilk", I ask rudely.
He shows his stomach and says, "In here"
Vaido bhukkad (over smart greedy) I mutter under my breath and turn around not facing him I sense him leaving the table but still don't look in his direction
Suddenly I find a glass full of buttermilk in front of me, a smile leaves my lips
I hold the glass and was about to say something when he interrupts
"Yes, I added salt and that brown thing (a spice) as you like", and I grin as that's what I was gonna ask.
I take a sip and see that salt was less and tell him,"Yaa sure salt is less though"
"Oh shut it you have some problem in your taste buds for sure, I tasted the salt and then brought it to you"
"U drank from this glass too!", I ask fake angrily"Of course, I had to check for the salt your highness, wouldn't want it to be less else you would send me all the way back to bring more for you"
I shrug and mutter its still not perfect but fine it'll work, you are off the hook for now.
Shut up and drink your buttermilk he says and starts talking to Yash.
I am in my room studying when I hear a voice, "kaise ho aunty" (How are you aunt)
"Bas thik beta tum kaise ho, Devi andar padh rahi hai jao", (I am good dear what about you, Devi is studying inside go"
"Thank you"
"Hello monkey! How do you study for so long all alone, I get tired after half an hour itself", Arnav says loudly.
I signal him to sit quiet and study
10 mins later I feel a poking sensation on my arm
Bol(say) I say
"I am bored lets take a break!", Arnav exclaims.
"Shut up and study, after 20 mins I will take your test and if you are able to answer then we will take a break"
"How can you test me dumbo I am a commerce student", he says smugly
"For your kind information I had taken economics in grade 10 with you and business without you so technically I can", I say proudly.
"Ha ha chal don't be oversmart Miss Know it all"
I give him a sarcastic smile and continue studying
After 5 mins he says, "If you take my test then even I will take yours", thinking I will refuse but I diminish his plan of escaping the test by agreeing without any objection
I see his face fall out of disappointment and starts studying properly this time
20 mins later
"Okay so what is the impact of..."
"I know this its..."
"Wow I thought you didn't study at all!"
"ho gai na impress merese" (you got impressed by me)
"It takes more than some petty questions to get me even a little bit interested in someone", I reply amused
"U liar just accept it", he says
"NOOO", I laugh and run away from him because I know he will start tickling me soon enough.
