Tanya's POV:

I woke up and saw Raghav looking at me with a wide smile. Let me tell you that this look might have been awe worthy at any time of the day; but not when you just opened your eyes. He looked creepy as hell.

"What's with the creepy smile?" I questioned as I sat up.

His smile vanished as soon as I uttered 'creepy'.

"I was just happy for you", he grumbled, making a face at me.

"Happy for me? Get directly to the point. My brain hasn't started working yet", I said, looking at him with half closed eyes.

"You need to have a brain for it to start working", he muttered under his breath, earning a glare from me.

"I have a good news for you", Raghav told me hurriedly, before I could move to hit him.

"Good news?" I inquired curiously.

"Yes, Good news. Sia stayed awake the whole night and has now decided—"

I interrupted in between with my assumption, "—that she won't leave?"

Raghav looked at me with annoyance but then turned his expression into gentle comfort.

"No but—"

I interrupted him once again. "Forget it then. I don't want to hear any good news if it isn't about her canceling her decision", I pouted.

"Hear me out once, will you?" He requested. Before I could say something, he spoke out another request, "And this time without interrupting".

I made a face at him, but silently waited for him to speak.

"You see your sister loves you so much. She stayed awake last night to search for the colleges and finally came to a decision".

"What love? That was for her. Where's my good news in this?" I asked. "And if she loved me then she wouldn't have decided to go to a far away city", I grumbled.

"That's the thing. Sia just wants to leave the town. She never mentioned going to a far away city", Raghav said, making my head jerk towards him.

"Wh..what do you mean?" I asked in shock and confusion.

"Sia has selected the college of the nearby town; the same town where we stayed for a month.

"I looked up the college, and it has wonderful reviews. I guess you must be aware of it as well, seeing that you visited that town numerous times in childhood", Raghav informed me.

"True", I agreed when Raghav told me the name of the college.

The college was actually in the city that bordered with the town. It was a well known college among both- the city and town people.

"Are you relaxed now?" Raghav asked with a smile.

That duffer. He already knew the answer, and that's why he was sitting here with that creepy wide smile.

"I am. We can visit her often. Although three hour distance is huge, it is still near", I replied happily.

"Along with the people from our restaurant, I will also ask Ganga Tai to take care of her", Raghav said. "You remember Ganga Tai, right?" He asked as an afterthought.

"Of course I do", I replied in a duh tone.

How could I dare to forget that kind house keeper, who was so warm and loving to me.

Raghav gave me a side hug as we both got relaxed. I was still worried about Sia but the level of worry had gone down to a great extent.

Mom and I were just done with cooking for lunch, when Rishi barged inside.

"Oh my!!" Mom clutched her chest as she got startled from his sudden presence.

"Oh come on, Mom! It's not that long since I started living in another house. How can you get so shocked, like my presence is new in this house?" Rishi huffed like an angry kid.

"There's a certain way to enter a room, regardless of you living here or not", I lectured.

He just stuck his tongue out at me, making me scoff at his antics.

"Did you want something?" Mom asked him.

"Why? Is this not my house anymore? Do I need to have some work or want something to come here?" Rishi asked, faking a hurt expression.

"So are you trying to saying that you skipped going to work and came here just for fun?" I asked him with raised eyebrows.

"Says the one who hasn't gone to her academy for so long", Rishi retorted, instead of answering my question.

I didn't need to say anything as Mom started hitting him with a kitchen cloth.

"Think before speaking. You know what the situation was", Mom scolded him.

"Sorry, I didn't mean....". Rishi looked at me with a guilty face.

"Don't be. I know that there wasn't anything mean behind your comment", I waved it off, knowing that he was a total goofball, with no negative emotion in his heart.

"And just for your information, today my classes are after lunch", I informed him. "So if you are satisfied, let's switch back the conversation to you. Why aren't you at work?"

"Well, I needed some documents that I left at my room. Can you please get them for me? I can't search for them when Sia is staying there", Rishi requested.

"Of course", I readily agreed.

"Documents? For what?" Dad asked as he walked towards us.

"Actually...umm...", Rishi hesitated, looking scared.

"What is it, dear? Is everything alright?" Mom asked worriedly, sensing Rishi's nervousness.

"Is there some problem with business?" Dad asked, getting worried too.

"No no no, stop getting worried you two. Everything is fine and alright. There's nothing to worry. I am just nervous because, because I don't know how you all will take the news", Rishi said, clasping and unclasping his hands nervously.

"What is it dear? You can tell us. You know right? Even if we don't understand or agree with you, we will still support you", Mom comforted Rishi.

"Actually I...no not I...actually we...you know what I will tell you together with Nikhil. Yeah, that's right. I will call Nikhil and Raghav will also be coming for lunch in few minutes. That's great, I will inform you then", saying this Rishi ran off to the living room, after creating so much suspense.

"I swear, if this turns out to be something stupid, I will strangle him with my bare hands", I spoke, looking at the annoying creature who was sprawled on the couch right now.

"I will help you", Dad said, looking annoyed at Rishi as well.

"At least there's nothing to worry", Mom sighed.

"According to Rishi", Dad and I spoke in unison.

We all bursted out laughing at that.

"We are slowly turning into twins", Dad commented while laughing.

Now we just had to wait until Raghav and Nikhil came to quench our thirst of curiosity.
