*Khushal Pov*
“Please tell me that it is not the dessert you have made for me?” That’s what Priya Di asked Akhila after we three got up along with the bowl and then with the fingers in our mouth.
“Err…” Akhila just stared at us not able to say anything.
“Tell me Akhila.” Her sister demanded
“Not anymore!” I replied instead of Akhila shrugging.
“Will you keep quiet?” Akhila asked glaring at me.
“Di! I will make it for you tomorrow.” She added looking at her sister.
“Really?” Kalyan asked excitingly making their elder sister glare at him.
“He is the one who brought the bowl near us.” Sanjay said and that glare changed into rage.
She ran towards him and he screaming ran away. After few minutes Akhila stopped them and scolded them like kids.
“What are you doing here?” We heard three voices.
“You asked me to come here right?” We three replied.
“For tomorrow!” Akhila said and her sisters nodded.
“Should we have to leave?” Sanjay asked frowning.
“Yes!” Their elder sister said.
“Ok!” Sanjay said and started walking towards the stairs.
“Where are you going?” Kritika asked.
“To my room!” Sanjay replied smiling.
“What?” The four sisters shouted.
“No, no! I have actually come here by jumping into Kritika’s room from mine. And I have even locked my room so I have to go from there.” Sanjay explained and I just stared at him shocked along with everyone.
“Where did you entered from?” Priya Di asked Kalyan.
“From kitchen’s window.” Kalyan replied scratching his neck.
“Wow!” Kritika said smiling at him and looks like she was about to pinch his cheeks.
Ignoring her next I was asked “And you mister?”
“Main door! It was opened.” I replied and she smiled at me nodding.
“Well as you all are already here, you three are going to join in our game.” Priya Di announced and we three shook our heads.
“Oh please! This is not that tough.” She said shaking her head.
“We don’t want to sit here and gossip about boys.” I said and those two idiots nodded.
“I will just ask you all few questions and that’s it. There will be no gossip.” She promised but we three just looked at each other.
“Think again! I am close to my father and I can persuade him to allow his daughters to continue dating when he wants them to stop.” When she said that Sanjay and Kalyan immediately sat near the bottle.
I glanced at Akhila and when she smiled I too walked near them and sat down. I am sitting between Akhila and Priya. Sanjay is at the other side of Priya Di with Kritika and then Kalyan is sitting beside her. And Ritika is sitting beside him.
“Why are you smiling at me like that? You hate me remember.” Kalyan asked Kritika who is smiling at him friendly.
“Well not anymore. You came here and that too by jumping from a window of a kitchen.” Kritika said smiling.
“So?” Kalyan asked confused.
“Don’t you get it? You are doing all this for my boring twin so ofcourse I don’t hate you anymore.” Kritika replied still smiling.
“But I don’t like him.” Priya Di said and he frowned looking down.
“Let’s start!” Ritika said and twirled the bottle.
By Kalyan’s luck it pointed towards him and Priya Di is at questioning end making her smirk at him.
“So.. Truth or Dare?” She asked.
“Err.. Truth!” he replied.
“Ok! Now tell me are you gay?” She asked so seriously and we all looked at him and her in shock.
“What?” he screeched and four sisters burst out laughing with tears falling from their eyes.
“You told her that?” Kalyan asked Ritika.
“Does that mean you are?” Sanjay asked laughing.
“I will not talk to you again.” Kalyan said folding his hands and sulking.
Ritika went near his face and whispered something in his ear and he immediately smiled looking at her.
“What did you told him?” I asked her.
“That I will give him any number of kisses he wants.” She replied smiling sweetly at me and I rolled my eyes.
“Ritika! I am sitting here.” Priya Di shouted.
“Oh please Di! As if Bharghav is not getting any kisses from you.” Ritika said teasing.
“I just had this vision. We are talking all this and then enter our parents. Awesome vision isn’t it?” Akhila asked glaring at Ritika.
“Sorry Di! I actually said I will give him a box of dessert for you.” Ritika said smiling at us.
In all this we saw that Sanjay and Kritika are not saying anything so we turned to see both of them whispering to each other and smiling between themselves.
“Ahem! Move the bottle Kritika.” When Priya Di said they immediately came to our world.
“I want to ask him something.” Kritika said when it landed on me.
“Ok!” I said shrugging.
“Err.. I read in some stories that the fighters have you know… have one girl or even more everyday. Is it true?” Kritika asked whispering with wide eyes.
“For what? Lunch or dinner?” I asked her back.
“You know what I am asking. So tell me.” She replied whining.
“No! That is not even just a myth but also practically impossible. We need too much adrenaline rush in us while fighting so if we sleep with every girl we get then we would lose even the silly fight. So that is wrong.” I replied.
Akhila just had this blank face and I patted her shoulder but she just looked at me with blank face and shook her head.
“Not only for the fighters but also for the sports players or athletes like that we all need that adrenaline rush while playing. So those all are just a myth and don’t think about them that much.” Kalyan said.
“Good to know then.” Kritika said sighing in relief.
“Next!” Priya Di said twirling it which landed on Sanjay and Akhila should question him to which he gulped.
“Truth or Dare?” Akhila asked folding her hands.
“Dare!” He replied and sighed in relief.
“Today onwards you will close your window for one week.” Akhila said and Sanjay’s eyes went wide.
“What if I don’t do it?” He asked frowning.
“You see your Dad loves me so I will go and just complaint on you that you jumped into our house. Then he may even change your room from there.” Akhila said smirking.
“I never know you are this evil. I always thought you are sweet sister.” Sanjay said frowning.
“Two weeks.” She immediately added.
“No, no! One week is cool, so cool.” Sanjay said with wide eyed.
“Did you just call my Di evil?” Kritika asked him shocked.
“He is dead!” Kalyan whispered.
“Did you just call her evil?” I asked him with fake anger.
Priya Di winking at me followed the act asking “Did you just called Akhila evil?”
“Did you just call my Di evil?” Ritika said.
“Did you just….” Kalyan started to say but Sanjay cut him off shouting “Stop! Stop it you guys. I got it ok. I am sorry Akhila Di.”
“Hmm… I am forgiving you just for my sister.” Akhila said after few minutes.
“Thank god!” he mumbled and we all glared at him to which he added “No thank god! Only thank you Akhila Di.”
They all laughed and I smiled holding Akhila’s hand to which she smiled looking at me. We just stared like that until we felt someone snapping their fingers that too so many.
We turned away to see everyone doing it and I shook my head. It was so late and Priya Di gave us permission to crash but in the separate guestroom.
They all left for their room while Akhila just put everything in the refrigerator and then started switching off the lights then started checking the doors and windows whether they are locked properly.
“So you are…” I trailed off not knowing how to ask her.
“Kind of!” She replied understanding.
“Still you love them for hiding it?” I asked her frowning.
“Why shouldn’t I? If it will hurt me to continue loving my parents and them then I would have got second thought but even then I would have. Life is too short to keep grudges.” She replied and we walked towards the guest room.
“Good night!” She said smiling.
“Good night!” I said kissing her and she walked away smiling at me.
I went inside to see kalyan and Sanjay are already sleeping on the bed. I moved them a little and laid down on the edge. Then slowly slid off into deep sleep…
