"Cover your ears" Titli repeated her words. But Agastya was confused.
"If I am covering my ears, then HOW WILL I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING?" Agastya almost shouted in frustration. He can't get enough of her. For him, Titli is irritating and cute at...

" Mom i don't want to eat here, with them. " I muttered to mom who already made me sit with everyone. Ajay uncle was having dinner with us today.
After listening to all their so called motivating words, I was forced to have dinner with them too. The good thing was, I sat with dadu. But the bad thing was, Prakriti sat on my left.
Now i have to maintain this fake smile on my lips for the whole time. My cheeks will hurt. They were already hurting.
All the time she was only speaking about the recent london trip she had, about her college, friends. My concern was only my food. I want to finish it asap and leave.
After that last meet with Titli, my day literally turned so bad. Actually now my life is only like this. Everyday, it is just becoming worse.
" So Agastya, what did you decide now?"
I looked up to Ajay uncle who asked me the same thing again. Can't they just leave that one topic?
" I think you should listen to my dad, Agastya" i flinched suddenly when Prakriti gave a squeeze on my left hand. I pulled my hand back instantly.
" You remember our classmate, Sagar? The 5th boy of our class?" Prakriti asked. And i could remember a blurry face in my mind. Yes... sagar...he used to be 5th every year and i was the 7th guy.
I nodded to Prakriti.
" Hm... he cracked NEET in one go "
I winded my eyes. How on earth I don't know about it?
" Un... I did not know " i mumbled. Obviously how will i know? I broke connections with everyone.
" Yeah...you might not know but i do... listen Agastya, if NEET was meant for you, it would have happened, right?"
" Those who are meant for this, break it one chance...what you are doing is not go--"
" I am done " i stood up abruptly from my chair. I don't want to hear those same words for a single time now. I'm done. I am seriously done.
" But you did not even ea--"
" I don't feel like eating anymore " i cut off my mom and left the place.
I don't care what they are thinking now. I don't care if it's a big drama now or what.
Entering in my room, the first thing i did was, closing my door. No one should enter. No one. My head was hurting because of these rants now. And my body was so tired. Maybe i needed sleep. But i did not want to sleep.
I sat on my chair and opened my book. I need to study. Today was a complete waste. I wasted so much time. That's it. Tonight, I'll stay up all night and study. This anxious feeling in my heart will also go away.
