The school bell rang, signaling the end of the day. Students chatted and laughed while Gaurav lingered behind—still feeling the adrenaline from what had happened in class.
Suddenly, a chime echoed in his mind.

A small smirk played on Gaurav's lips. He was evolving—faster than he had ever imagined.
As he stepped out of the school gate, Ishika waited beside a silver Alto parked near the curb. She waved him over casually—but her eyes held that familiar fire beneath innocence.
Then he saw *him*—his older brother Arjun—already sitting inside beside her on backseat thigh brushing hers too close for comfort smile easy knowing
Gaurav hesitated.
Something about it felt… off.
But Ishika gave no sign.
She just smiled sweetly as if nothing were wrong and said:
"We're going your way."
No argument.
He climbed into front seat quietly letting engine hum take over thoughts instead deal later
Back on bus route alone again this time window empty seat across taken instantly by *Maria Sen.*
Again?
Fate? Or something deeper?
She sat without looking at him first busy with book headphones halfway on when she glanced up caught his stare blinked once slowly like she expected it
"Busy day?" she asked voice low velvet tone didn't match student label
He nodded "You could say that."
Silence stretched not awkward just heavy pregnant pause before storm words never spoken exchanged anyway through eye contact breath space between bodies air thick chemistry unacknowledged yet undeniable
Bus ride passed like dream fragments floating surface memory imprint brain stay longer intended

Ananya grinned spotting Gaurav "Hey! Sleepover tonight — me Harish four friends mine four girls and you chill music games maybe truth dare?" Eyelashes flickered playfully adding unspoken offer clear only predator recognize prey
Gaurav pushed open the front door of his house, expecting it to be quiet. But the soft moans and gasps drifting from the living room caught him off guard. He walked down the hallway, heart hammering in his chest.
He watched, feeling the heat rise in his cheeks. His mother was out for the day… and here was the scene he never expected to see.
Rekha leaned over and planted a kiss on his father's neck, trailing her fingers down his chest.
"Ahem." Gaurav cleared his throat.
The sound shattered the dreamlike moment. Rekha looked up, eyes widening as she met Gaurav's gaze. His father started, turning quickly to see what had grabbed Gaurov's attention. For a moment, no one moved.
Gaurav's mouth went dry as his father gestured for him to join them. He hesitated for a moment before nodding slowly—the decision almost like autopilot.
Rekha's eyes widened even wider, a silent question in her glance that only he could see. She shifted on his father's lap, making room for him.
Gaurov swallowed and stood, crossing the few steps to the couch. He sat next to his father, his movements stiff, the situation surreal.
