The corridor of school was bustling with students. the lunch break was nearly it's end. Inside the class , a girl was quietly sitting on the last bench, too lost on her drawing to notice anyone .

Someone clear his throat

she looked up and saw the new boy standing there with a smile

"Ye lo" he said forwarding a packet thing

[Take this]

"What's this." She asked eyeing it suspiciously

"Arre lo toh phle" he said urging her to take that

[Come on, take this first]

She crossed her hands on her chest and shook her head

"Phle ye bataiye ki ye hai kya mr." She asked again now glaring at him

[First tell me, what is this, Mr.?]

"Arre yaar koi bomb nhi de rha hu tumhe. Sandwich hai jisse khaya jaata hai. Clear now lo" he said explaining her with his hand gestures like explaining a toddler

[Oh come on, I'm not giving you a bomb. It's just a sandwich, something you eat. Clear now? Here, take it.]

She again shook her head and resumed her work

He sat down next to her and again forward sandwich

"Toh tum ye mujhe kyu de rhe ho. Khao na chup chap" she said now clearly fed up

[Then why are you giving this to me? Eat it quietly yourself.]

"Me tumhare liye laaya hu mene toh canteen me hi kha liya . Tumne khana nhi khaya na toh isse kha lo . Nhi toh tumhare pet ke chuhe tumhe kha jaayenge" he said and mimicked a hungry rat

[I brought this for you, I already ate in the canteen. You haven't eaten, right? So eat this, otherwise the mice in your stomach will end up eating you]

"Sorry but i don't remember asking for it and why are you being considerate for me" she asked suspiciously

"Arre yaar part time me investigation ka kaam krti ho kya . Itne sawal , me toh apne benchmate ke liye lekr aaya tha taki hum dosti kr ske" he said with a grin

[Oh man, do you work part-time as an investigator or what? So many questions! I just brought it for my benchmate so that we could become friends.]

"Dekho mr. Phli baat me aise kisi se free me kuch nhi leti, or dusri baat koi bhi dosti rishwat se nhi chalti. Dosti ek emotion hai jo dil se nibhaye jaata hai or agr tumhare dost tumhare paise dekh kr ya tum unhe kitna de skte ho ye dekh kr bante hai toh sorry pr me waisi nhi hu" she said with sternly but the her eyes shows the sincerity of her words.

[Look, Mr., first of all, I don't take anything for free from anyone. And secondly, friendship doesn't run on bribes. Friendship is an emotion that's carried from the heart. If someone becomes your friend just by looking at your money or what you can give them, then sorry, but I'm not like this.]

Like she had seen many broken friendships, too many broken hearts more like she had endured them herself.

Like this little soul has already seen too much for her young eyes

"Dosti ek pyaara ehsaas hoti hai jise hum apne dil se chunte hai. Dost vo pariwar hota hai jo humare khoon se toh saath nhi hote pr jinhe hum dil se banate hai. Jo humara jindagi bhar saath nibhate hai" she said pain was the only thing which is clear in her eyes.

[Friendship is a beautiful feeling that we choose with our hearts. Friends are that family who may not be tied to us by blood, but are made with the heart - the ones who stay with us for a lifetime.]

The boy was too stunned to speak like someone has snatched his right to speak

He was beyond shock like how can a person be this wise with their words in this fragile age when people mostly cry over their broken relationships, or mostly about their board exams are coming near

Here this girl saying this like giving some kind of lecture to her pupil with her wise words

Coming out of his daze , he blinked once then twice

Then said with a nervous smile

"Ye rishwat nhi hai, this is only a token and the truth is I didn't know how to approach you so i just find this sandwich as an excuse to ask you to be my friend. So........ will you be my friend? Say yes please " he pleaded with wide eyes trying to look cute but only thing that he's looking is funny

[This isn't a bribe]

"Why you want to be my friend?" She asked suspiciously

"And why would i not want to?" He questioned back folding his arms to his chest with stern look

"Mujhse dosti krke tumhe kya milega" she asked again

[What will you get by being friends with me?

]

"Ek dost. Or waise bhi dosti toh dil ka rishta hai usme kisi ko or kya hi chahiye, jo kisi matlab ke liye dosti kre vo dosti nhi saudebazi hoti hai, dosti toh jindagi bhar ke liye hoti hai"

he said sincerely copying her own words

[A friend. And anyway, friendship is a bond of the heart - what more could anyone want from it? If someone makes friends for selfish reasons, that's not friendship, that's a deal. True friendship is meant to last a lifetime.

]

"Tum sayad smjh nhi rhe ho, me tumhare saath baki dosto jaise saath me ghum nhi skti, tumse call kr baat nhi kr skti, na tumhare saath canteen me party kr skti hu" she said looking at him

[You probably don't understand - I can't hang out with you like you do with my other friends, I can't talk to you over calls, and I can't party with you in the canteen either]

"Ha toh koi baat nhi , hum issi bench pr beth kr jee bhar kr baat kr lenge or rahi baat party ki toh mujhe party waise bhi nhi pasand hai" he said smiling widely

[That's okay, we'll sit right here on this bench and talk to our heart's content. And as for parties, I don't like them anyway]

Vivaan pov

Yaar ye ldki kitni stubborn hai, maan hi nhi rhi

[Yaar, this girl is so stubborn, she just won't listen.]

"Toh dosti pakki samjhu" i said forwarding my hand

[So, are we officially friends now?

]

"Whatever" she said with a sigh before shaking my hand

Altitude huh......

"Toh btao miss dost aapko khali time me kya Krna pasand hai" i asked curiously wiggling my eyebrows

[So tell me, Miss Friend, what do you like to do in your free time?

]

"Chup rehna" she said curtly

"No, this is not fair . Btao na" i said pestering her

"Arre yaar kya budbak manus ho tum, mujhe drawing krna pasand hai bss khus" she said and focused on her work

[Oh man, what a silly person you are! I just like drawing, that's it, happy now]

"Oh mujhe bhi, or kya pasand hai?" I asked again eagerly

[Oh, me too! And what else do you like]

"Poetry" she answered shortly

"Mujhe bhi, or?" I said again way too fast

[Me too, and?

]

Poetry? Huh

Mujhe toh p se sirf pizza pta hai

Ye poetry kaha se aa gayi??........

[For me, 'P' only stands for pizza. Where did this poetry come from]

"Chup rehna" she said raising her eyebrows and looking at him

[Being quiet]

"Mujhe bhi" i said immediately but regret it soon

[Me too]

"Toh bss ab chup rehkar apni hobby pura kro, or mujhe mera kaam krne do" she said with tight lip smile

[You do your little hobby in peace, and let me do my work.]

"Ha ha kro na mene kb mna kiya" i Said nervously

[Go on, when did I ever stop you]

This girl is really a nonchalant one

Iss se toh baat krna hi itna mushkil hai

Dost toh bn gayi pr pta nhi mujhe ye aise looks kyu deti hai jaise

Ye gabbar hai or me Thakur .........

[This girl is really a nonchalant one. Talking to her is so difficult. She did become my friend, but I don't know why she gives me those looks as if she's Gabbar and I'm Thakur.]

Sharvani pov

Kitna pkata hai yaar ye ldka

Chup chap apna kaam kr rhi thi

Saari shaanti bhang kr di

[This guy is so annoying. I was quietly doing my work, and he ruined all the peace.]

Or poetry? iski hobby?...... What a joke

Iski shakal se pta chl rha hai isko poetry ka p bhi nhi aata hoga

[And poetry? That's his hobby?... What a joke. Just by looking at his face, you can tell he probably doesn't even know the 'P' of poetry.

]

Hey bhagwan ye aaj school kyu nhi khatam ho rha hai

[Oh God, why isn't school ending today?

]

**************************************************************************************************

The bell rings indicating the end of the hectic day of school. School corridor bust with students laughter and screams......

Shravani leave her classroom while vivaan trail behind her

"Ruko toh, gate tak toh saath chalo, kho gya toh" he said running behind her

[Wait, at least walk with me till the gate. What if i got lost]

"Kyu koi bache ho kya jo kho jaaoge , gaud me utha ke le chalu?" She said sarcastically slowing her pace

[Why, are you a kid who'll get lost? Should I carry you in my arms?

]~

"Kya yaar tum toh izzat utarne pr aa jati ho" he said pouting

[Yaar, you always show up just to embarrass me."]

"Uske liye honi bhi chahiye" she said ignoring him

[For that you ought to have to]

"Kya" he asked c

onfusingly

[What]

"Izzat" she said and cross the gate left him dumbfounded

[Respect]
