Meanwhile At Tejasswi's
Teja was sitting switching off the lamp and turning it while being deep in her thoughts

Tejasswi's Pov : I don't know everything seems so perfect right now I'm not facing any problem in life By Bappa's grace mera Kaam accha Chal raha hai Family is happy As Pratik can Finally go to States pandemic ki wajah se it was delayed and woh hasta tha lekin somewhere in the corner we knew he feels bad Thanks to Kundrri that he made him believe that it's not too late at all sooner or later he will get what he wants ...and then Finally Pratik ka Visa approved hogaya Visa Usko mil chuki thi but there was some issues and Obviously he could not go But jab Approve hua Achanak se I know kiska kaam hai ...It was him Kundri I dont know why is he like this? Help karta hai jatata nhi hai ...when one day I spoke About Pra's Dream to go States and all that He made an expression and Mujhe pata tha kuch toh chal raha hai uske dimag mein..and after 2 days news mili that all is set Pra ka Visa ka problem clear hogaya..and then I went to Him and Asked " You did this right?" Guess what his answer was?
" Nahi re Pagal hai main ni kitta kuch " he's such a Bad lier when immediately I smirked catching his lie looking at his changed Expression my inner mind spoke "Tussi hi kitta mainu pata hai"... Anways abhi  pata nhi ajeeb sa lag raha hai Aisa lag raha jaise kuch sahi nhi hai..kuch galat hone wala hai...Aajkal Kundri se main mil bhi nhi paati utna Kaam hi itna hai Pra's going so I was actually planning a Farewell party for him aur coincidentally It's Kundri's Birthday too This will be his first birthday I have to do something special after all that he did for me I feel like main jitna karu it will always be less ..maine aajtak aisa koi ladka nhi dekha who is so giving and wants nothing but love and affection for it..I have learnt a lot from him..I feel bad also as once he shared about What happened with his past relationship how badly and ugly was it's ending..maine usko utna tuta hua kabhi nhi dekha tha My heart was getting heavier as he spoke about it.. some where in the corner I was happy usne mujhse share kiya at least..I so wish I could heal his broken heart but wait I can't do anything about that Can I ? I can only help him cure it right? Aur meri koshis jari rahegi..and Honestly speaking I do see change in him..Boht expressive hogaya hai..he shares everything and anything to me and I love that...I hope one day All his pain just fades away like smoke in the air...I kept thinking and Worrying about him Suddenly I got out of my thought "Teju " oh My baby brother! Chen se kuch sochne bhi nhi deta nalayak  "kya kar kya rahi hai aise koi light on off karta hai lamp ka? You know how it's dangerous kab samjhegi kal ko main yaha hunga nhi toh phir? " he said  kitna Chik chik karta rehta hai yaar! Kasam se..but then realization hit me how badly I'm gonna miss all these chik chik off him... I got teary
" Aaye pagal ro kyu rahi hai? "

"Shut up ..and come here "

" Teju main ab baccha nhi hoon"

" So what mere liye hai!!  i want to pull your cheeks ..mera chotuu"

" Hey bhagwan ajaa "

He's so irritating but I love him
And I will miss him ..I pulled his cheeks and Hugged him Tightly

" Tu ro rahi hai? Kuch hua hai kya? Sach bata"

" Nothing I guess I'll miss you "

" Pakka na koi aur baat nhi hai na? "

" Promise "

I LIED TO HIM

Next Morning it was Sunday Teja was Checking all the things that she ordered is received or not or else she needs to buy stuff as only two days left For the farewell party and Kk's birthday she wanted to surprise both the important person in her in her way ..yes in a short time Karan Was a Special part of her life now she considered him as her bestest friend who understands her well and does things for her without her knowledge..but lil did she know it was more than Friendship? And whenever the thought of maybe she could fall for him came she always reminds herself that love is something which is not for her she had Bad experiences With love in her past and whenever Love word is mentioned she counts herself out of it..
Teja Stood up from her bed  having a bright smile on her face " bas ab sab Acche se hojay"

" Kya hojay acchese? "

- a voice said from behind

Teja turns nervously

" T...tum"
