My new session started today and I'm already loving it.
My eyes literally came out of their sockets when I read my report card. To brief everything, I topped my class, actually all the streams. And my bestfriend came first in her stream. *Nazar na lage hame*

It's going good.

But the extreme hot temperature is burning me alive. I mean it's 36° here!

I wish I could leave you my love
But my heart, is a mess
My days they begin with your name
And nights end with your breath

"YOU NEED WHAT?!"

Aditi's eyes widened as she detached her mouth from the straw connecting her to chocolate smoothie. "Shh... Everyone's gonna hear us."

"Repeat whatever you said."

"Everyone. Is. Going. To. Hear. Us."

"Not this. The thing you said before this."

I need a pregnancy kit.

No, she needs a pregnancy kit.

"I think I need a pregnancy testing kit."

"You think?" I stomped my hand on the table and her eyes came out of their sockets. "Who, when, how, why?" She rolled her eyes and sipped her smoothie through the straw.

"What why? Why do people mate?"

To reproduce.

And..... to gain pleasure.

"Who's the baby daddy?"

"What father? I'm not pregnant." She said and I looked at her with accusation. "I mean, I haven't took the test yet."

"Okay, but who's the man you had sex with? You know that you can't pop out a child alone. It takes two to tango. And, does he know about the baby?"

It was too much for me to take. My bestfriend was supposedly pregnant with only-she-knows-whose child. I knew she was not in a relationship currently. The last boyfriend she had was Sahil and she broke up with him even before anything serious could happen.

"I don't know if there's an actual child inside me. It's all based on assumptions. Let us be sure about it first." She spoke and I hummed.

"Why do you think that you're pregnant? Did you see any symptoms?"

"Hmm... Ofcourse! I missed my periods. Last night, I felt nauseated and vomited a lot. I even got dizzy today in the morning. What more reasons do you think I need to feel suspicious?"

"By any chance if you're really pregnant, are you gonna inform the father of your child about the baby?"

"I... I don't know. It seems wierd."

Wierd?

If sex isn't wierd then child talk isn't wierd too.

"Aditi, you know what a big responsibility a child is! You can't decide your child's future on your own. Discuss it with the father of the baby. He has equal share of duties towards the child." I stated and she nodded, "Wait a minute! Do you think he's going to back away from the responsibility? Trust me, I'll kill him if he does such a thing."

"Shruti, calm down! Let me take the test first. What if I'm not pregnant? Then, there would be no need to inform him."

"You're right. Go and get the test kit from pharmacy." She narrowed her eyes at me and finished her smoothie till the the last drop. "What?"
