Thanks for clearing my confusion and thanks for the quick update too.😃

Really liked the above part. The bold lines speak so much about Veer's character.

He's genuinely interested in her and cares for her.😊

I have a feeling this "unknown girl" will be a good friend to Veer and help him.

A request though, plz don't name her Ananya. I've always come to associate Veer with Ananya.So plz don't name her that. *pretty please*

Chandni seems to be surrounded by worries and troubles.😭

But she needn't worry hamara (dharti ka)"Veer" (yodha) jo aa gaya hai😉

Btw, do u plan to update ur oder FF "The Pompous Ceremony"? It's really good!

My concluding lines will never change 😆

Continue soon!!!

Thank you so much for the lovely comment. 😛 I love your comments, and of course I will not name her Ananya, you will soon find out what her name is in the coming update.. but you can be relieved as it is not going to be Ananya 😃

About the Pompous Ceremony..hmm.. we'll see.. 😃 To be quite honest with you, I am finding it difficult to continue this FF so Pompous Ceremony might be delayed seeing that this one is going to be regular... 😳

And yes, Chandni has some genuine problem.. but there will be a point when she will beg Veer to talk to her and Veer will play hard 😆 But obviously his heart will melt.. 🥺

And don't stop sending your lovely comments, they brighten up my mind.. otherwise I would sit the whole day and won't stop thinking.... 😍

By the way, Veer was praising your comments..he almost said "Thank you!". Otherwise you know our Veer lacks of manners.. oops did I say that? Sorry Veer! 😆

Part 4

"What on earth do you want, Veer?" whispered Chandni looking ahead at the professor who had his back towards the students and was busy writing the velocity of sound and light together.

"You know my name..I am honoured.." he smiled not paying any attention to her plea which was brightly shining in her eyes and wrinkles.

"Veer please! I..didn't know..just tell me what do you want..?" she stammered looking around as his voice was louder than a whisper and quite audible to nearby students.

"I don't want to know.."

"Veer! Stand up!" cried the professor as he cut him in the midst of a sentence. "Let us hear your more important conversation with Miss Chandni who I would request would also stand up!"

Chandni obeyed but Veer sat still looking as cool as possible. She looked at him in disgust as he had attitude and dare and obstinacy in his actions.

"Veer..do you need a hearing machine?" he asked. "Stand up!"

Veer shook his head and pulled Chandni by the wrist causing her to sit down again. Everyone stared at him aghast. This boy had dares, this boy was charming, this boy was modest..thought every girl in the room including the one who was talking to Veer.

"Sir! Please sir, I am sure.." interrupted a voice from behind. "I am sure Veer and Chandni were only discussing the velocity of sound and light.."

"Nisha! Can you please shut up?" cried the professor. "I am sure Veer and Chandni would not be discussing the velocity as it is visible on the blackboard itself!"

"No sir, I disagree..you have worked out the velocity of light but not of the sound.." smiled Veer. "I can see why..but I suggest you don't give wrong judgements.."

The professor glared at the mischievous boy and turned his back to face the board. He was right, he had worked out the light's velocity but he had stopped as he had heard murmurs from them and had stopped them..

"Well it was because of the murmurs I heard from you both!" barked the professor spitting at a geek nearby. The spits were soaking his face and glasses and he had already wiped them off with his handkerchief..

"Sir, please don't spit.." said the disgusted Veer. "Look at that poor fellow..he has been soaked with your spits, I would highly recommend everyone to bring an umbrella.."

The class burst into laughter as the boy shrugged not knowing what was so funny. Even Chandni smirked a little as Veer thought no one was more beautiful than Chandni..

"Out Veer!" spat out the professor causing the class to laugh more. The geek who was sitting at the front row slowly got up the courage to sit at the back erupting the room with laughs and smirks.

Veer nodded and heaved himself out of the room, a loathing of anger for the professor for the try to separate him and Chandni..

**************

As the students filed out of the room, Veer watched them head in different directions..some to the lounge, some to the cafeteria, some in revision classes and some to home..

As the smiling girl walked out she felt a tingle of goosebumps as she turned, she spotted Veer looking in her direction. Her smile immediately increased and she gave a quiet laugh and headed away..

Veer too enchanted and bewitched by her small laughter followed her as she headed to the lounge and drowned herself in the poetry book, she had issued from the library earlier this morning..

"Hi, can we talk..?" asked Nisha sitting in front of the sofa which Chandni had chosen away from the crowds.

"Yeah sure.." she shifted a little and placed the book in her bag and paid all attention to Nisha. "Is something wrong?"

"No nothing's wrong but I think Veer seems.."

"Highly interested in you.." interrupted Veer. "Isn't that so, Nisha?"

"Err..yeah," Nisha murmured annoyed with him for saying that. "But Veer, what are you doing here?"

"What makes you think, I would be interested in someone as disturbed as Chandni?" he asked venting out his anger on her for playing hard. "Nisha, I can't be interested in Chandni because she's so different.."

"Veer but.." she asked as confused and happy that she would score Veer for herself. "I thought you loved Chandni.."

"Love?" Veer laughed. "Who would fall in love with such timid and unattractive girl, I wouldn't..."

"Fine! You were right!" burst out Chandni angrily nearly on tears. "I am timid and unattractive then maybe you can tell me as to why you follow me around!"

"I.."

"But Chandni he never followed you.." Nisha supported Veer standing by his side. "He just came to pick up a pencil he dropped beside you..in class.."

"Well then why did he engage in a conversation with me?" asked Chandni gathering up her bag. "Forget it now..I don't want to see you Veer..you just stay away.."

And she disappeared out of sight.

Veer was left there guilty for what he did. He had planned to pull Chandni's attention towards him but Nisha had wrecked everything..he thought Nisha would support him and she had but not in the way he had wished..he had hurt Chandni deeply..and now there was no chance their love at first sight would even work..

**************

"Maa, I don't feel well.." Chandni said hoarsely sitting up in bed the next morning as her mother hovered her to get up. "Please..may I not attend any lectures today..?"

"Chandni..what's wrong..?" her mother asked touching her forehead. "Your Fahrenheit temperature seems in order but I guess something could be wrong with your abdomen..like always.."

"Maybe.." she replied laying back down and pulling the sheets over her. She guilty looked as her mother left and mouthed a sorry to the shut door. There was nothing wrong with her abdomen or her..she was fine but she couldn't go to college and fight with Veer any more..

He had hurt her..no stabbed her to death..she was slowly falling in love with him but she was running away. She thought Veer was different than others who wouldn't run after her just for the sake of lust but love her from inner heart but no..he had proved himself wrong and it was deeply hurting Chandni..

She gathered up the courage to sit up as she stared out of the window as the sun rose. She picked up a gold utensil and filled it with holy water which was kept in a cupboard. She walked over to her balcony and poured out the water slowly while drowning her attention to performing her Surya Namaskar in the best way..

As she finished with the Surya Namaskar, she placed the utensil on the balcony's granite sill and sat beside it staring ahead the beautiful city. The sun was orange and the sun was slowly appearing out of the buildings into it's position.

Slowly a tear rolled out of her eyes as her attention diverted to Veer's heartbreaking words. Maybe she did love Veer and maybe he didn't love her..but how could she pacify her burning and melting heart which caused her to usher in pain as she couldn't control her tears, she picked up the utensil and walked back to the safety of her bed.

**************

Meanwhile Veer had scanned his eyes across the classroom filled with students which rather seemed empty without his love. He had done wrong and today he would apologize if only the petite figure would slowly appear and make it's way inside the room but no..everyone had arrived apart from her..

"Veer..can you tell me the equation for the speed of the sound please?" asked the professor as he had purposely picked him.

"Err..yes.. coefficient of stiffness equals..to coefficient of stiffness divided by density and square rooted.." he replied not meeting his eyes which were fixed to the door.

Many eyes turned back to the professor and looked at him. How dare he say the right answer..he wasn't meant to..but this boy had an extraordinary talent which he did not share.

"Absolutely right.." he managed to smile and turn away.

"Wow..Veer that was amazing you didn't even look at the board and you gave that answer so easily although Professor did not write it this simple.." pestered a girl which annoyed Veer and he managed to smile..

Hii...

Awesome update.... Loved it....
I was shocked at first when Veer said that he does not love Chandni and that she is timid and all... Ooh, But he was actually trying to get her attention..... Poor guy!!!

I really liked Veer's character... He had the audacity and the daring to talk to the professor in that manner and to answer a question easily without making eye-contact.... As you said, Extraordinary Talent!!!!!

Wow!! Even Chandni is falling in love with Veer... Great!!!

Hope Veer asks for forgiveness soon...

Pls do continue soon...
Can you pls pm when you update??

About the Pompous Ceremony..hmm.. we'll see.. 😃 To be quite honest with you, I am finding it difficult to continue this FF so Pompous Ceremony might be delayed seeing that this one is going to be regular... 😳 No worries...Take ur time but plz do continue that story. I always like the Veer-Shera angle.

And yes, Chandni has some genuine problem.. but there will be a point when she will beg Veer to talk to her and Veer will play hard 😆 But obviously his heart will melt.. 🥺 Chandni will beg Veer to talk to her and Veer will play hard. Really????????? Wonder what will trigger such a situation. Well, it's good that Veer's heart will melt.

And don't stop sending your lovely comments, they brighten up my mind.. otherwise I would sit the whole day and won't stop thinking.... 😍 Your replies also make me happy.😃 Don't worry I'll keep commenting regularly until my school re-opens. After that, I will bt not regularly.

By the way, Veer was praising your comments..he almost said "Thank you!". Otherwise you know our Veer lacks of manners.. oops did I say that? Sorry Veer! 😆

Msg. to Veer: Thanks for the appreciation on my comments. Veer boy, you b8r actually say "Thank u" than almost saying it. You b8r be courteous oderwise ur Lady Love will keep running away.😉Samjhe??

Hi!

Thanks for writing a longer part this time.⭐️

In the classroom, Veer is really audacious at times but witty too.

Veer was a bit too rude while talking to Chandni. Though he meant it for good, it didn't really go down the right way.

I didn't expect Chandni to fall for him so soon. Poor thing, Veer's words hurt her so much.😭

I hope Veer can mend their relationship and at least strike off a friendship.

I again have confusion.😳

"Veer but.." she asked as confused and happy that she would score Veer for herself. "I thought you loved Chandni.." 😲

What does the bold part imply? Plz clarify Nisha's intentions.

Keep updating regularly'😉

Part 5 (A)

The shivering girl stood immobile beside the bus stand. It was a wet and damp day and she had forgotten her umbrella. Now the bus was delayed and only five minutes were left till her first lecture began. She had told her mother that she was feeling better and she had escaped her mother's pestering questions. Now she would have to face Veer whether she liked it or not..

"Would you like some mangoes?" asked the sudden question from a vendor who was pushing his cart forward and seemed to have pity on Chandni.

"I would love to but I just don't have the right amount of money.." came the stifled reply. "I just happen to have enough money for the fare to and back from my institution.."

"I would never charge you in such cold weather," replied the vendor picking up the juiciest mango and handing it to Chandni. She smiled with gratitude and took the mango.

Pulling out the core, she began eating the mango. It had taken her ages to peel off the peel but the bus had yet not arrived. The vendor had moved off leaving the entire road isolated and quiet. Chandni felt a prickle of goosebumps on her neck and she turned to face Karan who was distinctively aiming a bat to her head.

She retraced her steps in fear not knowing that a car was speeding up. She suddenly realised the approach of the car and stood there in fear not knowing what to do. Suddenly a stiff grip had pulled her off her feet and both were rolling off the road in the bushes and down the steep hill. As they were rolling Chandni's head had become a target of sharp bush which had cut through her skin leaving blood.

She had opened her eyes and spotted the familiar figure whose arms she laid safe in. It was a dense forest and she could hear the sound of the bus as the the bus driver had screamed out for anyone who was using the transport but no one had he heard and so had went further away. She tried getting up but the stiff grip allowed her to stay stationary in the same position.

Finally she had given a cry. "Leave me!" and Veer had immediately loosened his grip and parted away. He had stood up easily followed by the struggling of Chandni and both had wiped the dust of their clothes.

"Why are you here?" she had asked looking at him in the face. "Look what you have done..now I am going to miss the second lecture along with the first.."

She began complaining that she could've managed but a smirk had came from Veer which had winded up the anger and loathing which was still fresh inside her.

"It's not funny! I didn't need your help," she burst out angrily retreating her steps a bit. "You and your presence just winds me up more!"

"Honestly, I came here to save you from the deadly attack which was about to happen and you show attitude..instead of a simple thank you.." he complained smiling and ignoring her angry comments.

"Thank you very much from saving me from an attack which didn't even occur.." she replied angrily starting to climb the hill.

"It did occur..you nearly died.." he paused at the sight of her death. He swallowed a lump and decided that he had to apologize for the other day.

"So what if I died?" she challenged him looking at him in the face. "It wouldn't matter to you would it? Like you said who would fall in love with someone-"

"Shut up!" he roared angrily and she retraced her steps fearfully collapsing against the muddy hill. "I know I made you feel bad but you never let me explain myself!"

"Explain yourself? You explained and told a lot about yourself Veer!" Chandni retorted back angrily. "Since the day we met, you seemed to treat me as an advantage.."

"Advantage?" Veer cried. "You think I am using you as to show off and gain respect in this hell of pit?"

"I am glad you can work it out, Veer but now I had enough..you can fall in love with Nisha for all I care..you can swear at me, abuse me with hurting and painful words for all I care!"

"Fall in love with Nisha?" he asked. "What makes you think I'll fall in love with Nisha and not with.." he stopped as she eyed him with an explanation.

"Listen..Chandni..I just want to apologize for my behaviour..it wasn't deliberate, I just wanted to gain your attention so we became friends.." he apologized his tone as soft as a harp's..

She looked at him hurt..and suddenly nodded and her arms slid around his neck and she placed her head on his chest tightening her hug which didn't seem tight at all to Veer..

Another amazing update as usual!!👏

Eagerly waiting for next update!!!
