Aadhya Rehan

Chapter Nine

"Why is this match now?" I asked as we enter DIAS. This school has a great part in everyone's life who's present here.

I feel nostalgic seeing the garden,park,court and our small gallery. And of course our canteen where we all fought for even 1rs candy.

"I feel like crying" Kiara said and me and Rita nodded at her.

"This Maharajas and Hazardians were always enemies and still they haven't sort all their problems. And every year both these batch will clash and this year our P.T. sir asked them to stop fight and if they really want to fight then do it in the ground. So that's why this football match" Rita said as we reached near the ground.

The match was begun like half an hour ago. The gallery was filled with many former DIASians. This is literally a reunion. The DIASians were talking to their new found old friends.

Since it's Saturday the school finishes at 1PM so all the present students of DIAS too was here and they were cheering too.

Since it's been only 2-3 years of our batch separation so we hadn't lost any contacts.

We sat in the gallery and cheered for the teams even though we didn't know any of them.

"I'll buy something to eat" Rita said walking to the canteen. That's when a small girl of maybe 9 or 10 poked my hand. She looked so pretty with her hair left without tying and a small hair band kept on her hair and wearing a red frock.

"Yes" I smiled at her and she smiled back before putting the phone,which was in her hand,into her small side bag.

"Aadhya didi right" She smiled and moved her strand of hair falling onto her face.

She looks so cute and beautiful.

"Yes. And you?" I asked and she giggled. Her face seems similar but where.

"You know Rehan Bhai?" She asked me and I nodded and Kiara raised her eyebrows asking me who it is.

I now understood who she's. She might be The Rehan's sister and he might be here coz he's a former DIASian.

"How do you know me?" I asked making her to sit near me.

"I'm not understanding anything. Who's Rehan?" Kiara shook me and I signed her to wait.

"Is your brother here" I asked and she nodded yes. "But you didn't tell me your name"

"Rhea Mlahotra"

"So Rhea, where is your brother" I don't know but some part in me is eager to see him.

"He's playing. He's the captain of his team. See there he's fighting with the other team. He's always fighting fighting. He thinks he's a LKG kid" I laughed at Rhea's comment about her brother and indeed he was fighting with the other team player.

Rita came with drinks and snacks and we three shared it with Rhea who happily munched everything. She is a talkative and not like her brother i think.

"This is Rhea sister of Rehan" I said and both them squealed. "Reallllllllly!!!!!!!!!"

"Oh my God. The sister is cuter so the brother will be....ohmgggggggg" Kiara said and pulled Rhea's cheeks.

"Hey what's your name cutiepie" Rita asked and Rhea replied with a shy smile.

"Wait how you're here?" Rita asked.

"I forgot to tell you both. Rehan is a former student of DIAS. And right now he's playing in the ground" I said and they both stood up and started to look in the ground.

"Is your brother Maharajas or Hazardians?" Kiara asked Rhea who thought for a moment keeping her finger on her chin.

"Maharajas" She replied.

"Show me please" Kiara smiled at Rhea but at the same time the whistle came and it was half time.

"I have to go. He'll be searching for me. Byeee" Rhea waved us bye and ran.

"You saw him?" Rita asked and I nodded.

"Show naaaaaaaaaaaa" Kiara said and I looked at the ground but he wasn't there.

"When match starts again I'll show him" I replied and took out my phone.

Yes I got a phone. Mom gave me my old phone but I asked my Bhai for a new one coz the old one had scratches and all. Now I have my brand new iPhone.

I opened my insta account and scrolled through my feed. That's when I notice Rehan had put a story.

After our meeting he had asked me my ID and now we follow each other. He wanted my number actually but I said I can't without asking my parents. And boy he was blushing while asking my number and all. Really like boys can blush too.

The first story he put was of the match and the second one was his selfie with Rhea. I showed his photo to the crazy girls.

"You must say Yes and get married to him" Rita said and I raised my eyebrows.

"If you don't want him, we'll take" They both laughed and shares high-five.

"Very funny" I said and the match resumed. "See that guy in red blue jersey...No.10 is Rehan" I showed him to them.

Within minutes Rhea came near us and we ate popcorn and continued to watch.

"Where were you before meeting us" I asked Rhea who was not at all interested in the game.

"I was with Kavya Di and her friends when I saw you I came here" She replied and took out her brother's phone from bag.

She opened YouTube and watched cartoons. When I looked at the ground Rehan was looking at me.

I was hell nervous. So I passed a smile and waved at him. He waved me back and continued running.

"Ved and Liya is not here?"

"Di went to Menon uncle's daughter's wedding with everyone and Bhai was in Chacha's house. He is here somewhere with his friends" Rhea said.

The match finished with Maharaja's winning by 2-1 and the second goal was by Rehan.

Rhea pulled me along with her to meet Rehan and my dearest friends was pushing me from the back. They too came along with me.

We came to their area and there was no trace of Rehan. That's when a man came and greet Rhea. He smiled at me and with sudden realisation he ran. Within seconds group of boys, I think Rehan's friends coz all of them wore Maharajas jersey, surrounded me and they all were smiling. Smiling..........

I held Rhea's hand and she smiled at me too. I smiled back at them with utter confusion. That's when Rehan came and shoved them away.

"Hi"

"Congratulations" I said and hold out my hands. He shook hands and said thank you.

"I didn't knew you would come" He said. His voice is too good.

"Well my friends bought me here" I said and introduced them to Rehan.

"Kiara, let's go" Rita said with a naughty smile. I looked at both of them. They're hiding something from me.

"Ya let's go" I said and looked at Rehan to say bye.

"But Aadhya, we have Scooty and only two people can go in it. If we trio went in that, police might catch us" Kiara said.

What!!!!

Oh this is the plan right. It's not going to work.

"No police will catch us. We came like that itself na" I said and they shook their head.

"Don't" I mouthed to both of them and they shrugged their shoulders.

"If you don't mind I can drop you" Rehan said and they were waiting for this.

"Yes jiju. That's good" Rita said and they immediately ran waving at us.

Rehan smiled at what they called him and I looked down in pure embarrassment.

Why me!!!

So me and Rhea had to wait for Rehan for their team getting trophy and for the photos.

This is going to be awkward. What are we going to talk. We have talked about everything.

Why the he'll am I suddenly so nervous.

Rehan came back in a Louis Phillip Black t-shirt and black pants. "Lets go" He said and held Rhea's hands.

"Wait let me take a picture" The first guy who smiled at me said and I moved thinking it was for the siblings picture but Rehan shocked me by pulling my hand.

The photo session finished and we reached near his car somebody called him.

"Rehan. I'm also there"
