EXAMS TIME

Final exams for class 2nd will begin shortly. Pihu isn't as excited as she used to be; she doesn't even open the books to study anymore; all she does now is play with Komal and sit at home in silence; this is the only schedule she has this year. She no longer desires to score higher and perform well in exams. She loses interest in things that cause her to think more. She now desires only peace in her life. She does not want Ash and her sister to argue with her over trivial matters. She wants peace of mind, and even though she overthinks everything, she doesn't want others to interfere with her life. On the other hand, Ash and Bhavana began to study diligently. They are now certain that they will be the semester's top performers.

On the morning of the first exam..... ASH: (excited) Bhavana, let's go to school with Pihu, I'm curious how well she's prepared for the exam.ಡ⁠ ͜⁠ ⁠ʖ⁠ ⁠ಡ

BHAVANA: What's the big deal about you? You were already aware that she no longer studies.O⁠_⁠o

ASH: I know, but I still want to accompany her.(⁠θ⁠‿⁠θ⁠)

BHAVANA: whatever you say, let's look for her name, she'll come out, we can't afford to be late today.(⁠ ⁠~⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠~⁠ ⁠)

ASH: I'm not sure.(͡⁠°⁠‿⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)

They were both Sought for Pihu's name.

PIHU'S MOTHER: Ash and Bhavana are calling for you; you fast, eat breakfast, and accompany them to school.

PIHU: But I'd like to accompany Komal.

PIHU'S MOTHER: Komal, as well as Ash and Bhavana, can accompany you. You just keep doing it until Komal arrives.

PIHU: Okay, but I'm not leaving until Komal arrives.

PIHU'S MOTHER: I won't mind; after all Komal is your best friend, so it's only fair that you wait for her.

But I'll tell Ash and Bhavan to wait for you.

PIHU: hmm...ರ⁠_⁠ರ

she left to inform Ash and Bhavana about Pihu... Ash and Bhavana both greet her.

ASH: (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)Good morning, aunty! What happened to Pihu? Is she prepared?

PIHU'S MOTHER:(⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠) Yes, she is ready and eating breakfast, and you two are welcome to join her.

BHAVANA: Aunty, is she taking her time eating breakfast?

PIHU'S MOTHER: No, she's almost finished. But she prefers to wait for Komal.

ASH: Ahhh, I see. Then we'll wait for Komal to arrive.(⁠⇀⁠‸⁠↼⁠‶⁠)

Suddenly, Komal appeared,

** PIHU'S MOTHER:** look, she's already arrived.(⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)

KOMAL: (⁠♡⁠ω⁠♡⁠ ⁠)⁠ Good morning, aunty. How are things going for you?

PIHU'S MOTHER: (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)Good morning, and I am fine, you say. How have you been lately? You are rarely present these days.

KOMAL: aunty, as you know, our exams are coming up. So I was studying for exams. btw! What about  Pihu?

PIHU: I've been waiting for you.

KOMAL: Oh! So, Ash and Bhavana, how about you?

ASH: We were also waiting for you.(⁠ò⁠_⁠ó⁠ˇ⁠)

KOMAL: Oh, I see I've already arrived. Then let's go to school.

**PIHU: **yes, yes.(⁠‘⁠～⁠`⁠;⁠)

They all left after saying their goodbyes to Pihu's mother.

However, Pihu's mother is concerned about Pihu; she is aware that Pihu did not even open the book,

and then she returns to her household work.
