Part 5
Next day in college, Neev was waiting for Prachi. The moment she walked in, he took her hand and walked out.
"What is it, Neev?" Prachi asked him confused.
"Prachi, tell me the truth… is there anything going on between you and brother-in-law?" Neev asked her without wasting any time.
Prachi shocked out of her wits says "No!!! (Angrily) Why would you even think like that?"
Neev relaxes seeing her getting offended, it was all his wild imagination, Prachi would never do anything wrong on purpose "No.. yesterday, when I saw you go with him… I just… sorry."
"What? Go with him???" Prachi looks as him confused.
Neev now getting really embarrassed says, "Well, after you left Milind and Ayesha told me that Varun is your brother-in-law and you stay in his house, and when I asked you where you were staying you didn't tell me… and… you were so madly in love with your brother-in-law back then, so I thought…"
Prachi realizing what was going on in his head, she finishes for him, "That I was having an affair with him?"
"I am so sorry, Prachi. I am really very sorry." Neev started apologizing as he looked at her with guilt and regret.
Prachi sighs "it's okay."
Neev was a little confused. Prachi forgave him so soon… and now she didn't look angry also. There was this feeling in his mind that Prachi was hiding something from him…but what?
"Come, let's go back to class." Prachi said as she held his hand and walked back towards their class.
Neev decided to let the matter go for now, maybe he was reading too much into it, but then the nagging feeling that something was not right was still there.
Neev and Prachi walked back into the class, and Milind was looking at her curiously, it was obvious that he had seen Neev dragging her out of the class. Prachi goes towards him and gives him his work. He was about to take it, when Neev snatched it out of her hand.
"Enough! You will no longer slave for him." Neev angrily told her.
"Neev." Prachi says in a warning tone.
"No Prachi… he can't bully you into doing it." Neev told her stubbornly.
"How many times do I have to tell you that I like doing it for him?" Prachi asked him irritated.
"Why?" Neev asks her thoroughly confused.
Prachi looked at Milind, and he just shrugs, while Ayesha looked at Neev in amusement.
Prachi taking a deep breath says "He pays me for doing his assignments."
Milind, Ayesha and Neev looks at Prachi in shock.
"Really??" Neev asked shocked.
"Yes, and I don't want any more discussion on this."
Neev didn't look like he believed her, so he asks her "but why?"
"Why do you ask so many questions?" Prachi angrily asks him
Neev just shrugs.
Neev looks at Milind and hands him the assignment "I guess I owe you an apology."
Milind shrugs and takes it.
Ayesha grinning cheekily, asks Prachi "Will you do my assignments for next week? I will pay you."
Prachi gives Ayesha a not-so-amused look.
Ayesha grins and continues "Since, you will be free next week, as you don't have to do his assignments."
Prachi looks at Milind and he looked uncomfortable, so she asks confused "Why?"
Milind couldn't look at Prachi, he didn't know why, but he felt as if he had betrayed her by not telling her that he was going to be away.
Ayesha confusedly looks at Milind then at Prachi as she asks her "He didn't tell you? He is going to New York for a week, some business meeting."
Milind slowly looks at Prachi, and he knew why he felt as if he had betrayed Prachi, because she would take it as one. She didn't have to find it from Ayesha, that too not like this. He should have told her before. He might not have confessed his love to her and he might never will but he knew that he loves her and because of that he had to tell her himself, she deserved that much from him.
Prachi looked at Milind in pain and hurt. He was going to be away for a week, and he didn't even think that she deserved to know that, didn't he love her? And she didn't have to have found it out like this, definitely not from another girl, his best friend or not. Damn it! Not like this.
Suddenly, Saket came and called Neev away. As Neev left, Prachi looked at Ayesha and she was giving her a sympathetic look. Without even looking at Milind, she was about to walk off, when he held her hand.
"I was going to tell you."
Prachi tries to pull her hand away.
"I was going to tell you after class today." Milind tried to explain.
Prachi was in no mood to listen, so she angrily says "Leave me."
Milind gets even angry, but more than her he was angry at himself. "Damn it! Listen to me"
"Leave my hand Milind." Prachi said as she tried to pull her hand away.
That time, the professor walks in. and everyone starts settling in their seats. As if, he had every right in the world, Milind held Prachi's hand and walked towards her usual place. And made her sit and he sat next to her.
"Prachi, listen to me." Milind said in a sweet tone.
Prachi completely ignores him and starts taking out her book.
Milind continues as he knew she was listening to him, "I was on the phone with Gupta and that time Ayesha was with me. And she heard me talking on the phone. I didn't tell her."
Prachi looked at him for sometime, and then asked him "When did you decide to go?"
Milind starts looking guilty.
"When?" she asked him angrier.
"Yesterday." Milind looks down as he scratched his head in irritation and slowly whispers.
Prachi immediately turned away from him angrily.
Saket who was sitting in front of them, suddenly turned back "Hey Milind, shift place with me, dude."
"What?" Milind looks at him confused and asks him irritated.
"I don't know a thing man… let me sit next to Prachi." Saket whispered.
"Don't know what?" Milind asked him getting really annoyed.
Saket gives him a look that suggested that he thought Milind had lost his marbles "Didn't you hear the professor? We are having a surprise test, and it might be included for internals."
"WHAT??"
Today was definitely not his day.
"Please dude, let me copy from her."
"Even I don't know a thing… you go sit with Ayesha." Milind said.
Saket looks at Ayesha, and then turns back "Neev is sitting with her."
Prachi turns to Milind and angrily told him "Go sit somewhere else. Let Saket sit with me."
Milind shocked and then stubbornly he refused "I am not going anywhere."
Prachi raises one eye brow and asked him "Not even to New York?"
"I said I am sorry ri8?" Milind pleads.
Prachi ignores him.
"Dude?" Saket calls Milind softly.
"Go find some1 else, I am sitting with her." Milind angrily said.
"Damn it!" Saket says pissed.
Prachi was sitting turned to one side so her back was to Milind and her answers covered.
"Prachi, I can't see." Milind said sweetly.
Prachi turns back a little and then says "if you didn't notice, I am not showing."
"Please Prachi." He begs her.
"NO!" Prachi refused adamantly.
Milind in a warning tone tells her "Come on, Prachi… I am getting irritated now."
Prachi makes a face at him, and continues to write.
Suddenly, Saket turns and whispers to Prachi, "Prachi, do you know the answer to the 2nd question?"
Prachi smiles at him as she replies "Yeah" she starts looking through her papers, and takes a few paper and gives it to him "here."
Milind looks angrily at Prachi as she gave Saket her papers, while she smirked at him all the while.
Prachi was writing when from the corner of her eyes she sees Milind put his pen down and lean back on the chair and stretch, then suddenly she saw his hand at her side, then to her utmost shock, she felt his hand on her waist, then slowly itching inside her shirt.
"Take your hands off." Prachi said shocked.
"It's either both of us pass or both of us fail." He smirks at her as he says that.
Prachi pushes his hands off and angrily says "Get lost."
"This is your last chance Prachi." Milind warns her "So what do you want?"
Prachi ignores him. Milind's hand was back there again and he started tickling her. Prachi shot up in her chair laughing and screaming "Stop it, Milind!"
Suddenly, everyone was looking at them.
"What is happening there?" Professor asked them with a frown.
"Er… nothing." Prachi immediately replied as she moved a little away from Milind.
"Sorry sir, it won't happen again." Milind said then he looks at Prachi, while every1 was staring at them, he blew a kiss at her, and then winks at her. Then he turned back to his professor and acting as if he is an innocent baby born yesterday "Sorry, it won't happen again."
Professor angrily screams at them "Both of you, out of the class."
"But…" Prachi tries to make excuses.
"Since you are a very good student, and this is your last year, I am not reporting this, Prachi. Get out of the class, now!"
As Prachi and Milind walks out, Milind notices the shocked look on Ayesha and Neev's face.
The moment they were outside the class, she turned and glared at him as she angrily asked him "What is your problem? All these days, you ignored me and today.."
Milind holds her hand and walks off. Prachi starts running to keep up with his long strides. By the time they reached the car park, she was breathless. He pushes her towards his car and holds her prisoner there with his body.
"Don't you dare ever stop talking to me or ignore me." Milind angrily told her.
That was the last straw for Prachi, she glares at him and accuses "You are the one who always ignore me."
"I can ignore you, but you can't ignore me." Milind says arrogantly.
No.. this was the last straw for Prachi "Oh really? Then tell me (sarcastically) pleeeeease, what I am allowed to do."
Milind keeps looking at her for a while, watching her glaring at him angrily at the same time trying to catch her breath and he leans down and softly whispers "Love me."
Prachi looks at him in shock; Milind keeps looking at her eyes, then looks down slowly at her lips, then starts descending down towards her lips.
