Jiya was having a great time with Ranvir, giggling, and gossiping... It was as if she forgot her pain in a split second.
After almost one hour, Ranvir stood beside her fixing his hair, "So... Jiya I gotta go... I promise I'll be back" He looked at her with hopeful eyes "Yeah... You also have your duties, stupid me," She dabbed her head "Go-go I hope I didn't make you delay something" She said in a low voice almost pouting.
Ranvir giggled at her action, "So cute, you are" He ruffled her hair and she passed him a glare and he backed off "Uff I am scared, I'd better run from this lady" He said acting dizzy "Nuh-uh, bad acting" She giggled "You didn't have to be so mean." He pouted "Go away before I bite you!" She shouted and he ran off laughing.
Ranvir left the room with a huge smile plastered on his face which soon faded on the sight of Pawan.
"What were you doing in her room?" Pawan asked coldly stopping at a distance from him, "I came to meet her, any problem?" Ranvire responded with the same energy. "Yes, Yes a lot of Problems."
"Why? Do you feel sad? She is upset by you, because of that or did she like my accompany?" Ranvir told him staring down his soul. Pawan was a bit taken aback by his rough words, which didn't show up on his face "First, it is my house, and you came without me knowing and second, I have a lot of things to think about rather than spend my energy on... you" they looked like two jealous middle-schoolers.
"Look both of you, I can hear you very well so better shut up!" Jiya said from across the closed door. Both looked at each other and sighed in unison. "I'll get going," Ranvir whispered and walked away. Pawan slowy opened the door "Jiya?" He asked softly, a smile creasing his eyes.
"Hello, Mr Busy." She said scrolling through her phone. Pawan rolled his eyes "I am not free like that guy, I got businesses to attend to," He said and sat on the edge of the bed.
"I-I thought I heard Kavita... She around?" Jiya looked up at him with hope. He started with a sigh "She... She is, want to meet her?" A small smile curled up his lips.
"You know The last time I saw her was like three years ago! Of course, I want to meet her!" she shouted, throwing a pillow at him. Pawan caught the pillow and laid back on the bed acting injured "Awful acting, Stop it." She said and rolled her eyes "I'll get her over, You better behave." He said and smiled brightly "I know, okay? I know what to do." She spat as he left the room.
After a few minutes, Pawan entered the room along with her sister, Kavita. A bright smile plastered on her face as her eyes glistered admiration for Jiya.
"Kavita," a low whisper escaped Jiya's lips as she looked up at her approaching her. Kavita passed her a smile and pulled her into a hug "So long no see, huh?" She said and wrapped her arms around Jiya's sitting figure. "You are the one who never missed me." Jiya said hugging her back "Aww is that the case? I did... I did miss you very much, Jiya." Kavita stroked her hair and pulled back.
"So... How are you?" Kavita sat beside her. Jiya looked back and forth at Pawan and then at Kavita, "Apparently, I have three broken ribs... Which your brother didn't tell me," A hint of disappointment in her voice as she looked up and down at Pawan standing at the door. He looked at Jiya with a disapproving look but kept quiet.
"How are you, Kavita? You... You seem so happy." Jiya spat out after a bit of resistance. "I? I am well and fit and happy? Yes and happy." She ended with a chuckle. Jiya nodded
Kavita sat down beside Jiya, talking about their past three years in life. Both were just like long-lost sisters or longing best friends, chattering non-stop.
"Kavita?" Pawan interrupted after a while "What?" Kavita and Jiya said in unison and annoyance "Alright, Alright I fear both of you But it's her time to eat food, take medicine and rest." He mocked, throwing his hand up and backing off, "We know you are, Bring her food, and I'll feed her" Kavita said and chased him out of the room.
After a few minutes, Pawan came back into the room holding a glass of smoothie, "I don't want no smoothies" Jiya said immediately after he entered. "Kavita..." Pawan noted in protest knowing Jiya would always agree with her. Kavita snatched the glass from him "Jiya you better drink this." She said with a stern expression. Jiya made a small pout gripping the glass from her hand "Fine..." She chugged down the glass, pulling it back with a disgusted sound "You made me drink this, berry-filled smoothie." disgust sprayed off her voice.
Both Kavita and Pawan chuckled. "Don't laugh!" Jiya said and made an unintentional pout, "We'll not first take your medicine," Pawan spat with a smile still folding on his lips. "Here." He added and handed over a couple of tablets. Jiya quickly chugged them down and set aside the glass of water.
