Aditi's POV

I, Anvika and Samaira were heading to my home. Their expression mirrored mine. I told them about my father's transfer. They know that I will be very sad, so they dodged the topic.

Flashback

"Mumma.. batao na kya baat hai? Kyu tension de rahi ho" I said which almost sounded like whine.

"Beta.. Actually I am transferred to Delhi" Papa said without any mischievous glint in his eyes that can tell me that he is pranking.

Transfer?

No I am not being overdramatic but still it hurts to leave the ones who supported you at every step.

I met Anvi and Sammy almost like 7 years ago, after that we've always been together. Shared our lunch, gossip, emotions everything.

"I can't do anything" Papa said. Everyone is looking at me!

"It's okay Papa. And in fact, we all wanted to live like before, in our old house" I said in a reassuring tone. But everyone knows the truth. God! Why can't I hide my emotions!? I do try, always. I don't like showing my vulnerable side but I can't. Damn!

"Arre Anvi aur Sammy ki baat hai na. Kidnap kar lenge unhe" Didi said with a mischievous wink and I smiled. She is always positive, her smile never fades. She is always ready to make others happy. And that's what scares me, the heart which love, trust someone deeply often suffers.

"Haan I know I am beautiful, gorgeous, the visual but please do not admire me this much, I am quite shy" She said pretending to be shy and I just gave her a disbelief look.

"Papa kab jayenge apan?" Bhaiya asked him.

"Next week" Papa replied.

Next week? Not even a week left. It's Wednesday today. Bappa it's such a short time..

"Don't be sad beta, we'll come here in holidays" Papa said in a reassuring tone and his smile...God!

Is it just me who can't deny my father after he smile at me like he trusts me with everything, like..he has hope from me, I don't know how to explain but I just can't deny. I feel bad if I don't do what he wants.

"It's okay, Papa. I'm not that stupid who will cry because of a transfer and it is surely something you can't deny to, otherwise you would have already" I said plastering a smile onto my face. It's okay. I can't act immature, right? I feel bad but it's not his fault.

"Just tell us" I looked at bhaiya in a way which told him that I was asking about what he just said.

"Tell what exactly?" I asked.

"If you're lesbian or something "

I choked.

"What? Lesbian? Where did that come from?" Dii asked him.

Exactly. Where did that come from?

"She's about to cry over a fact that she'll leave her beautiful best friends" I squinted my brows.

"Mumma, is there anything wrong in food today? Did you drug him?" I asked her.

She glared at me. And then at him.

"Friends are really important, idiot. I had best friends in school and I know how much it hurts to leave your best friend. They are literally part of our life" Mumma scolded him. Right. Absolutely right. I agree with her.

"I was just jok-"

"Wait"

"What?"

"Did you call my bestfriends beautiful?" I asked in shock.

It's not like he can't call them beautiful or gorgeous. I am not toxic who would be offended over such a small thing. Ofcourse he can. But there's the thing. He doesn't call anyone beautiful except mummy. Also - he swear he won't call anyone beautiful, and if he did he have to complete a dare. Childish? Be it. I don't care. I and dii was complaining that he never praises us.

And he was arguing he just calls mummy pretty, then dii said that he will call his wife beautiful but he diagreed on it.

So I did what I can do. Bet. If he lost, he will complete two dares given by both of us.

"OH YEAHHH" Dii shouted at top of her lungs.

"SHUT UP" I knew it. Mumma can't tolerate loud voices. (Her voice doesn't count)

"I'm sorry. Adi, you lost. You called them beautiful" She was grinning from ear to ear. She is childish. She is mature when needed too. I love her. And I'm always so scared for her. That makes me protective. Okay younger sisters are also protective and they care for their sister more than anything. It's just not talked about.

"I just said that in sarcasm" I was thinking the same....but not now. Not when I'm seeing his ears turning slightly pink. It can be because of losing too. Right? Yep that it is.

"Either way, a lose is a lose" Dii patted his shoulders.

"What's going on? Tell these old peeps sitting next to you too" Papa said. I chuckled at his dramatic tone.

"Nothing important papa, he just lost a bet"

"What's my dare?" He asked already accepting his defeat and we both laughed.

"Not now, when the time comes" I said with a grin.

"Sounds dangerous to me"

"It is"

"If you are done with then please spare a look at your plates" Mummy said sighingly and we all laughed.

I know, everyone know why he brought that topic. It's for me to laugh. We both fight. A Lot. Actually a WWE, but this brother of mine, he can't see me sad. I'm not sounding like some idiot, right?

But that's true, I guess every sister knows and accept that our brothers always try to make us laugh. Even by roasting us. They just don't know how to show love.

While on other sides, sisters are different. They fight like cats. But always together. Dii will sacrifice her life for me, or bhaiya or mummy, papa. She's the eldest so she got a lot of responsibilities.

She doesn't have friends. Bhaiya doesn't have too. That makes me sad. Because everyone deserves atleast one best friend, right? I got two. So why not them? I wish they get one soon.

"Shaadi karni hai?" I jolted at sudden voice near my ear.

"Diii kya hai yaar" I whined.

"Aur what shaadi karni hai?" I asked being totally confused.

"You were staring at the food for so long so I thought you were planning to marry the food" I gave her the most boring look I can ever give.

"Shut up"

"Where were you lost?"

"Just.... zoned out"

I can't tell them that I was being thankful to have both of them, right?

"Finish your food" I nodded

Flashback ends

"Ma'am???" I looked at Anvi.

"Haan?"

"What? Where were you lost now?"

"Nothing particularly. Let's have a drink?"

"Yep. That would work" Sammy said wrapping her arm around my shoulder.

"I love you both" I said with a smile.

"This is not a right time to confess, dear" I looked at Anvi, confused.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean at least be at legal age and then we'll think of getting married" I gave her the

most weird look I can give.

"Shut up"

Why does everyone pointing out at my non existing lesbian side just to make my mood happy?
