Anvi's pov

I looked at the person and there stood Raj panting heavily,

it looked like he ran all the way here.

I was shocked to see him here, we both stared at each other.

Unknowingly my hold on the knife tightened.

I was confused wondering why he is here, but I did forgive him so it doesn't matter for now .

"Finally someone decided to show up" my brother said .

"Kya yaar Aaj bhi late" Inaya said.

"Beta cake cut Karo" my dad said
I nodded my head.

I prayed for a few seconds and blew the candles and cut the cake.
Everyone sang happy birthday song,.
I know it's childish but it makes me happy.

I made my family eat the cake and then Inaya and vihaan.

I was supposed to make him eat but I didn't know whether he'd eat it from my hand or would just ignore it.

Nevertheless I gathered some courage and forwarded my hand towards him.

"Happy birthday Anvi" he said smiling at me, making him eat the cake, I smiled at him

"Thank you" I said .

He made me eat the cake and was about to move away but he put the cream on my cheeks

"Yaarrrr" I whined , while he laughed

Oh his laugh, how I wish to hear every time.

Just then Inaya came making me dip my face in the plate of cake she held

"Kutti tu ruk" I yelled and her running  behind her.

We chased each other around the whole house.

Finally after feeling tired I went to my room to clear my face.

Almost everyone left as it was late.

I cleaned the cream and washed my face.

Sighing I moved out and the lights went off and I found myself pulled in a room.

It was dark and I couldn't see anything properly.

I was about to scream but I felt a hand on my mouth shutting me immediately.

"Shhh, it's me Raj" he whispered and removed his hand from my face.

Looking at me, none of us talked, I was happy yet anxious being this close to him is doing things to me and I can't express it in words.

I bit my inner cheek to prevent from burtsing out .

He smiled at me , and that's it.

That's all it took for me to throw my hands around his neck, hugging him.

He stumbled back a little and balanced once sensing me.

His hands went to my lower back pulling me closer.

I don't know why I feel comfortable around him, but there's is always a thought in my mind.

That no matter what, I would still chose him in all the boys.

Anytime, any day.

My face pressed against his chest , feeling his built chest.

His body sent warmth to me, I was at peace now.

"I hate you" I mumbled against him, my own voice cracking.

"I hate you so fucking much" he said , his voice more softer .

He was rubbing my back in a calming way.

We stayed like that for few minutes, none of us spoke .

Once I was calm, I pulled away from him looking at him with my red puffy eyes.

He chuckled wiping my tears.

"Anvi, I am sorry" he said holding my hand .

"It's okay I forgave you already" I said

"It was childish of me" I mumbled, already embarrassed.

Well as a 16 year old, it was rebellious but now when I think about it.

It was embarrassing to just burst all my anger on him, when it was just a one sided crush.

"No, it was totally correct, I was the one who was wrong" he said

"It's fine" I said smiling at him.

And I didn't want to talk about it, otherwise it would just remind me of how stupid I was back then.

I didn't want to die out of embarassment.

Not on my birthday though.

"Friends?"

I asked gesturing my hands towards him for a hand shake.

He smiled taking my hand in his, shaking them.

"Best friends " he said.

Although I wished it was something else.

But something is better than nothing

Right? Yes.
