Sisters before misters

"You can't hide that from her Adrick"

"But I have to"

"But she needs to know that man, how could you do that to her"

"You just shut up and keep it upto you"

"First of all stop misbehaving with me and second what's the motive to hide that from her"

"See, I am sorry but it'll just distract her from her studies and she'll insist to go back to India... So what about her career then"

"You just care for you... you selfish.... she loves Amit(as a friend)and I don't know if it's more than that and she needs to know the truth from him as well"

"Not a single word now"

"I'll go and tell her everything"

"You just sweared on your mother, idiot"

"But"

"I said no" and he shook her shoulders and look straight into her eyes with those blood shot eyes of him.

"Ummmm, I think I just entered at the wrong time... you guys carry on"Nuri looked embarrassed.

"Oh you're just taking it all wrong Nuri, we're just discussing something" said Nuri

"About confessing something to me"?

" Um, for how long have you been standing there"asked Jia.

"Just the moment you two were about to confess something" smiled Nuri.... "Was it regarding your relationship"?

" Relationship"? That's sick... cried Jia.

"See, I don't have any objection with that but yeah being my friends you should have told me the truth"

"You're taking it all wrong... Ughh! we were just"....Jia was about to say somethin when Adrick leaned towards her.

" Yeah, we're currently not in a relationship but soon are planning to be in"exclaimed Adrick.

"That's nice... you two carry on I'll take a leave"

She left.

"You and me Adrick? You and me? it sounds so disgusting"

"That's not disgusting Jia, we'll be an amazing couple"

"I am about to vomit"

"Did you see the jealous look on her face"? Did you see that?"

"No need to be happy in that regard, she was just annoyed bro, don't create such misunderstandings around you, it'll harm you in future"

"Don't play blame games and just act, okay"

Jia went back to dorm and saw Nuri already sleeping. It was earlier than usual for her... the girl who would not sleep till midnight was asleep at 9 itself.

"I know you're not sleeping bro! stop acting!"

"How perfectly do you know me Jia"

"Because I am more than a sister to you"

"But a sister never hides a relationship right"?

" Nuri, did you just believe that stupid Adrick? Come on girl, you're not that dumb.... "

"Tell me one thing"

"Yeah"

"Do boys get over a girl so quickly? I mean back in India Amit was obsessed with me but now he has moved on so quickly and not just moved on he even doesn't want to talk to me and the reason was so silly and now Adrick... from the day 1 he was obsessed with me and now you"

"You're taking it all wrong Nuri, Adrick and I have nothing to do with each other... he's just making you jealous and I can see he's successful in his plan.... do you like him?"

"I don't know... I just don't know... I am just confused but I just don't wanna lose the friendship of both of them"

"Don't worry dear, they'll come back to you... but talk to Amit... I think he needs you"

"How do you know"

"8 years of friendship matters Nuri, go talk to him Nuri, go"

She called Amit but in vain, he didn't even care to reply to her texts.

"Don't worry, do you wanna go to Dunkin's? "

"At this time?"

"Yeah,let's go"

"Sure"

Jia ordered 8 donuts, 4 for each.

"So, I think eating is the best medicine for stress and that too eating somethin sweet"

"Yeah, I agree"... Nuri said munching on 2 at a time..

They talked till it was 10:30.

"All I can say, You're the friend I could ever ask for.... thank you for being by my side"

"Always"

They walked home and remained silent throughout the route.
