"It's his personal!"Prem said again.

We all met again, This time Prem called Everyone to meet here in the same place we met in the afternoon.

"What?!"Sowmya shouted.

"Yes,It's his personal!And he is our Friend"Pradeep said this time.

"Why are you so quiet Ram? You are her close friend"Sowmya looked at him angrily.

"Come on Sowmya, It's all about those two, Purely a personal thing between those two, Arjun and Sandy.Why are we making the stuff a very big thing,big issue?"Prem asked sowmya seriously.

"Yes, I too agree with him we all surely overreacted on the issue.Guys its their life.I know both are our good friends,but its all about their lives, their individual lives."Pradeep too expressed the same.

"Yes!"Ram nodded.

"Let us plan for tomorrow,"Prem told again.

"Come on sowmya, It's his life.His choice.I know they both are our friends.We don't want to see them suffering.But it's their life,their personal thing.Being friends we should support them, should support their decisions.Please Sowmya we need to study together ,cherish our memories together.It's hard to find this oppurtunity again in our whole life.So let us give them the space.They both are our friends.It's hard for you because you are a girl, You will support her, It's not your fault but please don't be too judgemental.Arjun was there for us all the time.I don't know why he has failed as a lover in a relationship but he was always as a good friend.So Sowmya please just stop this for now."Prem said a bit seriously.

"Yes Sowmya, It's their life.I know you all are friends from much earlier times, Still I feel they both need some space to cope with the situation and we shouldn't make it much more uncomfortable for them.After all both are our friends"I spoke for the very first time on the issue.

Sowmya didn't spoke anything except gave a nod.

"So?!"Prem raised his eyebrows.

"I will decide the menu"Pradeep raised his hand.

"Okay! We all know that you are a big foodie"Ram said laughing.

"No!"Pradeep kept a sulky face and all laughed at him including Sowmya.

"He is true.You are really a big foodie!"Sowmya punched him on shoulder.

"Our good old sowmya is back"Pradeep smiled at her.

"I know I have overreacted but still I am feeling very bad I don't know why exactly but you people are right.Arjun is such a sweetheart,He is my brother.I can't stay angry with him for more time.So I have decided I should stop this"Sowmya is truly back and we all smiled at her.

"Should we call Sandy?"Ram asked hesitently.He is truly worried about her.I can see that in his eyes.I pity him from the core of my heart.He truly loves Sandy but ..I stopped thinking about them.

"Yes!"Prem looked at us all.

"It's our party.We need to behave carefully.Both are our friends and we shouldn't hurt them both.If she doesn't want to com its her wish.We will make her happy through other way.We will surely plan another hangout at beech for her.Don't worry."Prem said cleverly and honestly.

"You are truly excellent bro!"Pradeep patted Prem.

"We all are friends and we will stay friends forever."Prem smiled at us.

I smiled at him back and suddenly started feeling gloomy.

What should I do now? I have scolded Arjun and demanded an explanation.I should have given him a chance.What did you do Priya? I scolded myself and looked at Arjun who is coming towards us.

"Hai!"He greeted us very plesantly.

"Hai!"Prem greeted back.

"Everything is set!"Ram declared.

"What?!"Arjun looked smiling.

"Let us celebrate your victory bro!"Prem answered Arjun.

"Don't stop us, Please!"Pradeep begged him.

"Why cann't you say "Yes" "Sowmya asked this time.

"Okay!"Arjun nodded.

"We will tell you the place and time tonight but be ready.Don't ever try to escape.I will kill you"Prem said again.

"Yes!"Ram nodded in agreement.

"I will be the another loyal partner in crime if he do so"Pradeep too joined.

"I sware, I won't"Arjun gave his mesmerizing smile.

"Professor has called you once in the morning"Vinay Arjun's benchmate came all of sudden and dragged Arjun from there.

"So, Let us discuss the plan quickly, I too have to go"Pradeep showed us the watch.

"Let us order the food from the Hotel....."Pradeep finalised the menu.

"I will bring all the decoratives"Sowmya said, and we can see clearly that our old Sowmya is back.

"I will be the Official DJ for tonight"Prem smiled.

"I will set the dance floor!"Ram stated.

"I want to be the official host, Why cannot you allow me.I want to celebrate the occasion in my house.Mom will be there, So what?"I mustered all my courage to tell this, some how atlast I opened my mouth.

"That's really incredible thought, We will have a perfect view of city from your terrace"Sowmya chuckled.

"Yes, You people haven't visited my home yet.So I take this oppurtunity to invite you all to my house and want you to introduce to my mom"I stood up and invited everyone.

"That's really nice!"Pradeep nodded and said"I am accepting your invitation."

"We all too"All the three said in unison.

"Thank you all a lot!"I waved and occupied my seat again.

"Okay, I will leave now"Pradeep left, Sowmya followed him.

"I will drop you to home!"Ram offered me a ride.

'That's good, We have paryical curfue in city today at some places"Prem too insisted.

"Okay!"I wanted to wait for Arjun but I have no time.It's already 6 in the evening and all will come to home by night, So....I have left with no choice.

I walked towards the bikestand and Ram is there with me.

"So are you happy?"He is teasing me.

"Shut up!"I couldn't stop blushing.

"Come on"He started the bike and occupied the seat.

I saw Arjun running towards me and stopped there soon I occupied the seat.He gave a pathetic look and walked away.

For the very first I felt sad and ashamed.I got failed in trusting him.I have to apologise him.It's a big lesson for me and I have a plan for that.........A surprise plan.
