Part 6
"Reyyy..." Swayam again whispered while gritted his teeth. He was totally frustrated with his best friend's behavior as they are in meeting with their foreign clients and discussing about their new project with them and they were asking something from him but he was again lost in his own world.
"Huh?" Rey came out from his thoughts and asked.
"We are in meeting." Swayam whispered and pointed towards their clients through his eyes and looked at them with forced smile.
"Sorry" Rey apologized to them and then concentrate at meeting.
As soon as meeting got over he looked at his watch and his eyes went wide realizing he was getting late. He was about to leave the conference hall when his eyes met with swayam, who was looking at him or precisely glaring at him as he know that he is going to leave an office soon again as he was doing from last some days. Rey just made a puppy face looking at him and immediately leave from there before he could say anything. Swayam sighed and just shook his head at his best friend who was behaving so weird from last few days.

He was driving his car in full speed not wanting to be late to reach his destination. He took a sigh of relief when he reached there on time and parked the car. He was sitting in his car which was parked outside the St. Louis College and waiting for her to come out. HER..? His dream girl, his angel of love...TAANI...the girl who had stole his heart at very first sight.
After their meet in restro a week ago, he was lost in her thoughts in whole journey to his house and even he couldn't able to sleep whole night as he was thinking about her only. He had never felt like this before for any girl. He always have so many female admirers in his school, college and even till now girls would threw themselves on him and even wants to marry with him but he never drop a single glance at them as he has always waited for his perfect girl but now after meeting her, he was sure this is the girl for whom he was waiting.
She is the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. Not like he never saw any beautiful girl before but she is different from others. She had a natural beauty without any fake or artificial show off and the innocence her eyes were shows is like does some magic which was pulling him towards her. Undoubtedly, she is a mixture of a beauty and innocence...a pure Angel.
He was already has fallen in love with her and wants to spend his rest of life with her, holding her hand in his. Day night he was dreaming about her only, that he didn't even concentrate on anything. He wants to be with her, wants to know what she feels for him but for this he have to find out about her whereabouts. So he found out from his sources about her every detail like in which college she studies, where she goes and when, her likes-dislikes, about her friends and most importantly... Is she having any boyfriend? Though her happiness is more important for him but if this happened then he will be heartbroken and won't be able to see her with someone else. But to his great luck she hasn't any.
After knowing about her everything, he couldn't able to stop himself and went to see her to her college. He wants to go and meet her but then stopped himself thinking that it may make her uncomfortable or she does not like his this act and he don't want to take any risk, Thus he just looked at her from far without her knowledge. Now this was becomes his routine to follow her, in morning when she left her house to go for college and then in evening when she returned her house to get her glimpse. Yeah.. surely he is behaving like a stalker but he doesn't care.. and why would he...he is in love and they say "Everything-is-fair-in-Love-and-War".
Everyone around him was so much confused with his strange behavior as he leaves his house early in the morning and in evening office too. His parents and swayam were couldn't able to understand what happened to him as nowadays he looks so lost in his own world and hardly paid any attention to anyone around which made his parents worried for him. But he can't tell anyone about this, not until he got to know about her feelings.
*
Finally his wait was over as she came out from college gate with her best friend aashi. She was looking beautiful as always. Seeing her, a smile formed on his lips and in daze he stepped out from car and starts walking towards her. They were waiting for her car and talking when suddenly she turned around causing him to come back into his senses and immediately he hide behind a group of people standing there. He could see she was looking around as if searching something or someone but soon she looked back at her friend and after some moments her driver has came with car, they both settled down in and drove away. He quickly ran towards his car and starting an engine he followed her car.
*
He was standing outside his car, hiding behind it which was parked across the road where her car was parked and she was having pani-puri with her friend. She was looking cute as she was making cute faces while eating. He couldn't help but got lost in her and admiring her. The much he look at her the more he fell for her. Again she turned around so he also turned other side so she cannot see him.
As he turned around, quickly he took out his phone from his pocket and did act like he is talking on it so no one would doubt on him but little did he know he was wrong.
He turned around when he felt someone tapped on his shoulder and was beyond shocked what he saw. She was standing there with her friend. As soon as she saw him her eyes went wide in shock. His shocked state changed in horrified one when he look at her friend and understood that maybe he had caught by them and now worried what he will say to her..? What she thinks about him..? What if she didn't like this and starts hating him? He has never been able to look hate in her eyes for him. He was lost in his thoughts but came out by her sweet voice.
"Reyansh"
As soon as this word came out from her mouth he forgot everything around him and just stares at her with small smile on his lips and love visible in his eyes for her. He never felt his name this special before but when she called it becomes more special for him and he starts loving his name.
She was shocked at looking at him here but soon she turned red when she noticed him staring at her intensely. There was the emotion which she couldn't recognize but giving her some unknown sensations. She becomes conscious under his penetrating gaze and looked down to hide her blush.
But soon they came out from their own world when they heard someone cleared their throat and looked at aashi who was looking at him with knowing look. She raised her eyebrows towards him in questioning look but he couldn't understand and looked at her confused.
"So." she asked folding her arms across her chest as she looked him with serious face.
"So..?" he asked. He was still confused that what she is asking which made her irritated.
"Why are you following us, mister?" she asked clearly. Taani held her arm to stop her being rude with him, she didn't like the way aashi asked this to him but she pulled away her arm from her grip and looked at him firmly.
"Me..?" he was scared but somehow managed himself and asked with nervous smile.
"Yes, You.." she replied.
"I m.." he started but she cut him off.
"I know you are following us from last some days...not specifically us but her for sure, so don't try to act innocent." She spoke in stern tone which made him more scared.
Other side Taani was beyond shocked hearing this as the man whom she likes from their first meet and accepted this to in front of her friend some hours ago only was the person who was following her everywhere from past some days. The mere thought was giving her goose bumps. What does that mean?... Was he also feels the same way as she does? Like aashi said if our feelings are true then we definitely will meet again. Or she is thinking too much maybe he is not that person.
"Actually..." he again started which make her came out from her thought process but again he has interrupted by aashi.
"And don't you dare to make any excuse that I had misunderstood you... you are not the person, because I myself had seen you from last two days to following us everywhere." She again spoke in warning tone giving him literally heart attack. Taani looked at her with wide eyes on this revelation that she knew this already but didn't tell her.
She came out from her shock state and looked at him nervously. He was already looking at her. As soon as their eyes met he lowered his eyes feeling guilty and sad thinking that she hadn't like this. Other side looking at his fallen face Taani also feels bad that how rudely aashi talked to him, he must be hurt. She was first time cursing her best friend for done this.
"Waise Romeo-Juliet, Laila-Majnu, Shiri-Farhad ki stories to bahut suni hai but first time real life me kisi romeo ko dekh rahi hu apni Juliet ke peeche pagalo ki tarah ghumte huye." Aashi spoke with naughtiness in her voice and smirk on her lips. Both looked at her what-the' look that till now she was behaving all serious suddenly what happened with her.
"I was just pulling your leg, dude." She said casually. She was acting all serious and rude till now to scare him little in which she got successful.
"Sorry" she again said nervously when she saw Taani was glaring at her for her stupid act.
"Hi, I m aashi, Taani's best friend." she introduce herself to him, he nodded and gave her small smile. After that there prevailed an awkward silence.
"Woh... I think I have to leave." Aashi spoke after some time when she saw that none was talking from both, just looking here and there and some time stealing glance to other one maybe because of her so she thought to give them alone time.
"Bye Taani." She said to Taani then looking at him, "Bye mr. Romeo And all the best." She winked at them and leave from there.
As soon as aashi left Taani becomes more nervous thinking she is alone with him and looked down. At one side she was happy to see him here and other side she was nervous too. Her heart was beating so loudly that she was sure he could hear it. She hadn't any idea what would she do now or say. Other side he was just looking at her only. There was sadness in his eyes. He could see her nervousness clearly. He was feeling like something is broking inside him on the thought that she didn't even wanted to look at him.
"Woh... I m sorry... I m really very sorry... I was following you everywhere like a creep stalker... but I didn't mean to hurt you... I was just..." he start apologizing but stopped hearing her voice.
"Mujhe bura nahi laga." She said looking at him when she saw him so worried.
"What..?" his eyes went wide hearing this. It took him moment to understand what she had said. Unknowingly his lips curved in small smile.
"Really..?" he asked to make sure that he heard her correct and there is hope in his voice that he still has a chance with her. She just nodded and looked down in shyness which made his smile broad.
"But still mujhe aisa nahi karna chahiye tha." he again apologized.
"It's ok." She replied in low tone.
There was an awkward silence. Both were craving for talk to each other but couldn't have courage. After some time she bid bye to him half heartedly. She starts walking away from him seeing this he was feeling like someone has snatched away his heart. He sighed sadly on his bad luck that she was in front of him but he has lost this chance but then something happened which made him jumped in happiness. She turned...Again and smiled at him.
He was so much happy because her action had proved she also feels something for him and he has to make his efforts double to win her heart. With this determination he turned towards his car but stopped and was shocked looking at the person.
