"this looks much better" the voice startled the three of them. Debadrita's breath hitched, heart started beating in an unusual rate, thought it was a dream she was hallucinating but the voice of Raunak broke her reverie.

"Huh! Who are you?" Raunak narrowed his eyes after seeing the boy who suddenly appeared infront of them, like a ghost. Riya looked at the boy who still had his hand on Debadrita's shoulder.

"Hi I'm-" "what are you doing here? I me-mean why are you here? H-how" stammering on her words she looked at the boy, whose expression was unreadable, he didn't answer anything as he kept looking at her.

Debadrita get a close look of his face, finally, in these months he has grown some facial hair it's like he hasn't done shaving for weeks.
"Have you ever thought of growing your beard?" Laying on his chest she asked, touching his jaw, he shook his head as a 'no' "i think you'll look hot in beard" she said smiling at him, placing his hands on her hip he brought her closer and peck her lips softly.
His muscles became more sharp, she thought he might finally join the gym
"look at this" showing off his muscles he grinned. "Just haddi nothing else" she mocked "what do you mean by haddi? What does even mean it?"  "It's means it's all bone" "you just wait I'll go to the gym and make body like your favourite artist, I'll even look better than them" his lips form a pout making her laugh "are you sulking?" "I'm not" "yes you are" giggling she came,  sitting on his lap she put her hands on his cheeks making him look at her "why are you so cute" she smiled before she placed her lips on his.

"Deb, you okay?" Riya's confused voice made her came to the reality "hah, yeah, I think I need to go now, sorry" taking the boy's hand she left Riya and Raunak behind.

****

Sitting on a chair of a cafeteria, she looked at him, who was sitting infront of her, expression same as before, unreadable "What are you doing here?" Debadrita asked the same question again

"What do you think I am here for?" He finally spoke looking straight to her eyes

"How do I know?" She said merely, looking everywhere but him. "you seriously are saying you don't know why I am here?"
"Yes, i am asking why are you here."

"You really like to play dumb, huh?"
"I'm not playing dumb"

"Babe!" His voice calmed her soul, the soul which were so lifeless became lively, just listening to his calm husky voice.

"Don't babe me" her voice shook as he placed his hand on the top of her hand

"Look at me" he said softly, creasing gently on back of her hand, making her comfortable, she shook her head refusing to look at him.

"I said, look at me" his voice firm yet comforting, she looked her eyes met with his, her eyes moist, his eyes reassuring telling her everything is okay, everything is same as it was before, saying he is here, they are here, together.

A lone tear fell from her eyes, his hand automatically went to wipe it off, "hey, why are you crying" she sniffed holding back her tears, she bit her lips looking at him, he left the chair and took the seat beside her.

Wipping the tears away he hold her, close to him as he softly kissed on her head saying "shh, dummy aliens never cry" she slapped his chest, "I'm not alien" making him laugh "so what are you? Mrs. Obhodro?" "Shut up it's you who is obhodro"  their little laugh filled with joy.

Debadrita sniffed wipping away her tears, she softly mumbled, "sorry", taehyung shook his head with disagree "nah, I am sorry. I shouldn't have reacted that way, i shouldn't have shouted at you that you"

"No, it was my fault, i was being unreasonable, i shouldn't be" Debadrita's voice cracked again making taehyung worried.

"You weren't being unreasonable, you have all the right to shout at me, you have all the right to whine, to want, to everything" He held her face with his hand creasing it, he smiled placing his lips on her forehead before embracing her again.

"Let's not talk about it we are fine now"

"But seriously you aren't here because I told you so, right?" Sipping her drink she asked, "ofcourse, you said if I wanted to stand next to you then I should come here"

"Then I should have said it before"
"Yeah? But seriously you shouldn't stand too close with that boy"
"Maybe"
"What maybe? Just say yes"
"No" sticking her tongue she left the cafeteria, making taehyung follow her around.

"Come on I'll show you our Ganges."

Walking together beside the Ganges, looking for a seat so they can settle there and observe the beauty.

"Come here let's sit" setting them on the stair of a ghat, they looked infront.

"Drink the tea, I bet you have never ate this  type of tea" Debadrita sipped her tea from the bhaar.

Taehyung looked at Debadrita, the soft breeze was making her hair sway, he face litted by the moonlight, a smile crept on his face as he saw her.

"You look the best when you are in your home" Debadrita looked at taehyung confused "huh", "you look more beautiful when you are in your home, in your own country, in your own ethenic wear."

"Are you flirting?" Debadrita raised her brows, "nah, I'm giving you compliment"

Debadrita coughed holding back her smile but her flushed cheeks didn't help, making taehyung smiled, he leaned saying "let's not separate from each, in this lifetime, nah not only this, every lifetime, okay?"

"Promise" Debadrita held her pinky finger out for taehyung to hold "pinky promise"
