4 years later,

Ansh decided to go to the USA to live with his Aditya bhaiya. He asked me to take care of kriti because she is mischievous and he doesn't want her to end up bullying by others.

I am not interested in all these things but I have to do this because Ansh is my best friend and if he is asking for it then I will do it.

As I entered the campus Siddharth was waiting for me at the door. He came and put his hands on my shoulder.

"I was waiting for you" He said.

"Thanks huh"

I saw kriti going to her class. What I know is that she is younger than Ansh for 3 years. I'm 14 then she might be 11.

Nothing is going to happen to this young kid. But bullying is soo common in this school.

Siddharth and I entered our class to attend the lectures. It was math period. Siddharth doesn't like this subject but I like it so I was paying attention to it.
After some time siddharth said with a yawn.

"Yaar bohot neend aa rhi h"

(I'm feeling sleepy)

"Harpic pii le nhi ayegi" I said while writing the notes in my copy.

(Drink harpic, it won't come then)

He eyed me and I just smiled and rolled my eyes. It's soo fun with friends.

As the school went off, I immediately went to check kriti if everything is alright. Siddharth and I was walking behind kriti and her friend. She was continuously looking back not knowing why we are walking behind her back.

"Why are you following us ?" She asked.

"So that you won't get hurt"

"I will not get hurt. And you don't have to worry" She said in clear annoyance. I didn't understand why she is talking like that. I saw her eyes flickering my back so I turned to see. There was a guy from our class, rich, handsome with his friends looking at kriti. I turned to look at her. Is she having a crush right now ?

"Look i am not interested in this either. I am just doing what my friend asked for" I said. I personally don't care whom she likes or what other guys are looking. I am just doing what Ansh asked 'to look after her'

"Then stay away from me" She said and ran away from us.

"What's going on brother ? Is she having a crush on that Rohit ?" Siddharth said while looking back.

"Who cares ?" I said and walked out of the campus. She is totally different from her brother. Brother who is too shy to speak and sister who is having crush at this young age. I think I'm going to lose my mind in all these things.

2 years passed,

Ansh came back for his 16th birthday. He doesn't celebrate his birthday because of some past things but he wanted to hang out with me and Siddharth so he came back. Nothing changed. He is 16 but he still is little quite but I think Siddharth will turn Ansh like himself.

Siddharth speaks too much.

I told Ansh about everything, like how kriti was doing inside school. She made a boyfriend and that too was Rohit.

Ansh freaked out on this news because he said his dad won't like this but he doesn't want kriti to get scolded by their dad.

"What's worng then ? Let her be in love or whatever it is" I said.

"She will end up getting hurt Reyansh. Please help me. I don't think Rohit is a good guy"

"How will I help you ?"

"Please" He said.

But how will I help ? I don't have any plan in my mind.

"Go and tell Rohit that you are her boyfriend" Siddharth suggested.

"Are you out of your mind ? She is my bestfriend's sister" I said

"I suggested"

"Good idea" Ansh said.

"What the fuck bro ? I am not doing it. Ask Siddharth to do this"

But they ended up making me understand that if Siddharth did that then it can be a problem as Siddharth's mother is the principal here.

Siddharth took his leave as his parents are having a family dinner at restaurant.

Me and Ansh was behind the wall looking at kriti and Rohit talking on the bench of the park. Why am I here ? I'm just 16 and I'm going to do this ?
Idea. From now on Ansh won't ask for help. She might be 13. It's alright for me.

"Don't fight with me after this" I said and went ahead towards their direction. I stood infront of them and kriti looked confused so she stood up as well. I am sorry.

I pecked her lips.

"What are you doing here ?" I asked her. She stared at me being frozen.

"So I was thinking right ? He is something for you ? That's why I thought why does he follow you everywhere" Rohit said
"I can't be with you anymore" He said and left the spot.

I looked at her, she looked at me and she slapped me.

"Idiot. I'll complain this to Ansh bhai. How you dare to do this ? Eww" she ran away from there.

I scratched my cheeks. Her hands are soo light. It didn't even affect me. I walked towards Ansh who was completely in shock.

"Okay that was unexpected" He said while processing everything.

"Huh ? You are her brother. You should slap me right now"

"Why will I ? I asked for help from you and you helped but don't ever do this again"

I stared at him. Such a innocent kid. I would have pulled a fight if he did the same with my sister, oh i mean if I had sister.

After a few days, Ansh went to the USA again.

After what happened in the park, kriti started maintaining distance and she stopped talking to me. Even she stopped looking at me.

But I still have to follow her in the school.

One day, when we were playing basketball I saw kriti watching the game. I know it's for Rohit because he playing against us.

They were ahead of our team, I saw kriti making faces towards me like I lost the game and the way she was cheering for Rohit like he won the game. Game isn't finished yet.

At last our team won. I high-fived with Siddharth and saw kriti glaring at me. Did she lost her mind ? Anyways I don't care.

When I was passing by she suddenly shouted and came behind me.

"Chipkali"

I stared at the direction she was referring to. A lizard ?

"Chipkali tujhe apne family se dar lgta hai ?" I joked but I think she took it seriously.

"What did you just call me ?" She stood infront of me.

"What's wrong ?"

"Don't call me that"

"Now I'll. Let's see what will you do" i challenged.

"Idiot" she said and went away from there.

She is really something i think. Soo different from her brothers.
