Kriti's POV :
Present :
I sat on the couch and now I'm breaking into tears. Licie and Yagna stood there without knowing what to do. Ray sat beside me. He's wiping my tears. I love you... I said.
"I know" he replied. I let out a chuckle.
Flashback :
Sasha's POV :
Guys... I will be leaving early today. Don't forget to eat and lock the doors properly. They smiled at each other and said "now, can you please get out".
Ugh... These are literally my friends.
Actually, I'm one of the coordinators at university events. I reached college and there's an arts festival today. Everyone interested will display their art. That includes some paintings, arts, photography and some other things.
I got a call.
"now don't say that you are expecting us to invite you to join us," srivi said and hung up. "wait... What?".
I called Kriti "arey... Where are you? Is everything OK with Sri? Or did she drunk early in the morning?" I asked.
Kriti laughed "just come to our spot. We are already waiting," she said.
I have found them from afar itself. Cos their laughs are unique.
When I saw them "god knows how I ended up with these idiots and maybe if they haven't found me I would have been a totally different person. They helped me a lot to build my character.
Thanks to them. Actually, I'm a nerdy girl who always got bullied. Sri and Kriti saw me for the first time when I was getting bullied. Then they both stopped it and helped me. Stood by my side and since then we became friends.
My apartment was near to the university and I offered them to stay with me. Yah... And now we ended up like this." I thought to myself.
Hey girls, did you had your breakfast? I asked.
" yes... Yes, as if you care " Sri mocked.
"shut up" I grinned.
"ohh...I better not, or else you guys going to get bored" Srivi stick her tongue out.
"childish" I laughed.
"what all events we have today?"Kriti asked.
"just arts display, gallery, and some other stuff "I replied.
"then let's go for display girls srivi said with a tone filled with joy.
"as you wish," Kriti said.
We went inside an art gallery. When I turned back they two are involved in the handicrafts section. I went forward to see other sections. I crossed few paintings and I am at the photo gallery now.
"Kriti... Srivi... Come fast" I yelled aloud.
"Dude, you can't yell loud here," Kri said.
"can't you Wait? We will come" srivi said.
"just come here you b***h" I yelled again.
"shit... You never say such things. What happened?" Sri asked. Kriti is still confused by my dialect. I pointed towards a photo.
Kriti's eyes widened as if they are going to pop out.
"what the fish?" srivi uttered in a shocked tone.
"who the hell did this?" Kriti said.
Anger can be clearly seen in her tone. And when we saw around. That total section is full of Kriti's pics.
"aww... This looks beautiful" I said and earned a death glare from Kriti.
"who the hell did this is dead in my hands now, but to be frank they really look beautiful" srivi said.
I let a chuckle out. Half of the room is filled with Kriti's pics... All are candids. He captured the beauty of my friend. Kriti took a step forward and touched one of the pics... She smiled to herself and also became stiff in a very second.
"wow, he portrayed you beautifully. He got some editing skills."Srivi giggled and that made me chuckle.
Kri looked at Srivi as if saying "Dare to say that again"look.
"Chill, you are born beautiful"Srivi said.
" RAYMOND STEVE," I said.
"what?" they asked. The name of the photographer.
"let's know about him," Sri said.
"I'm going to beat the s**t out of him. How can he think that he can take someone's pics without their consent? I'm gonna whoop his ass and teach some manners" Kriti said.
"girl remember I'm there for you," Srivi said to Kriti.
Whom so ever this "Raymond" be I'm gonna kill him today. I started searching for him along with Sri and Sasha. I bumped into a huge body on my way and ended up kissing the floor "ouch...".
He turned back and saw me being laid on the ground. He Squat down reaching my eye level
"watch out miss beautiful," he said. His eyes deep black... Black as the night sky and he also got a muscular body.
"you are the one who blocked my way," I said.
"and you are the one who Paved away straight into my heart" he replied.
"wh... At?" I asked. He smiled, woahhh... He got a pretty smile I thought.
"Meet me in lunch break near the cafeteria," Mr.handsome said.
"why would I?" I asked.
"cos I'm the one you are searching for darling 'he said.
"I didn't get you, "I said.
"ray... Come on man, we are getting late "someone yelled from a distance. He smiled at me.
"wait. You filthy being " I snapped.
"woahhhhh! I like my new name. Thank you. Let's meet again angel" he went away.
"ugh... Who the hell he thinks of himself? ".
"baby... Girl "someone called me from behind For the one last time I got a glance of that person. His back profile also looks good.
"what are you looking at? "Sasha asked.
"Mr.Ray filthy Steve, "I said.
"Woah! He got a pretty good name" srivi laughed.
"what are you doing on the floor?" Sasha asked.
"floor likes my ass darling" I replied.
We three burst into a laugh. They both gave me each of their hand. I got up and dusted my pants. "did he say something?" srivi asked.
"he asked me to meet him near the cafeteria," I said.
"are you going?" Sasha asked.
"don't say you are going," Sri said. Just want to listen to what he got to say, I said.
"We are coming with you," Sri said.
"that's the obvious girl" I added.

Just missed my friend's sweetie I replied.
"mum I'm there for you" licie Said. She reminded me of srivi again.
I kissed her and said I know.
