Chapter 33 - Stop abusing single people! (2/2)

I felt embarrassed at his comment though Arjun had smile on his face while he teased us. I turned to see Eshan's reaction, only to find him holding the ball in his hands and out of nowhere, he aimed it perfectly on Arjun's nose.

'Bingo!

Take that for teasing us.'

”Good morning Innaya,” Amma broke the glaring match between Eshan and Arjun as she spoke to me. Amma's eyes held the questions and I could see she was holding herself back from asking and even if Arjun behaved childishly, I knew he did only to not appear obvious with his worry.

I unconsciously leaned more into Eshan at the prospect of answering them about last night. I did not even know what or how much they witnessed. I lowered my eyes not able to handle the growing anxiety. However, when Eshan squeezed my shoulder, I realized how close I was standing to him. How could I be stupid enough to behave this way in the presence of others? Instantly, I tried making some distance between us.

”Amma, let's go. I am starving.” With one last glance in our direction, Arjun pulled Amma towards the kitchen as he rubbed his nose.

But that cheeky monkey, he ruffled my hair, messing them when I was not paying attention and almost ran away.

”You—”

He chuckled and Amma slapped his chest playfully. ”Stop it, Arjun.”

Eshan stretched his hand Infront of me and I found him holding another paper ball. Didn't he just throw the one? Where he did get one from? Shrugging the thoughts I took it from him and aimed for Arjun's head. It perfectly landed on back of his head, not missing the target.

Arjun stopped in his tracks and turned back, staring at fallen paper ball on the ground. In the meantime I found Eshan sneakily picking cushions from couch and as stealthily as he could, he hurled them at Arjun.

Arjun evaded every single attack of Eshan and effortlessly. I forgot to join as I watched too friends busy in their banter. Looking at them, I missed Siya. We would also engage in such kind of childishness. How I missed my friend!

”Enough two of you. Eshan clear this mess and Arjun, help me in kitchen.” Amma ordered and dragged Arjun away, leaving Eshan, I and messy living room behind.
