Chapter 1 :
Khushi came out of her class only to find that it was raining. Its not that it rained suddenly. It had been raining since morning, as hard as it could. And she forgot her umbrella again. How could she remember anything other than the cursing that her family members exchanged everyday? But, she always remained happy in front of all. She hid her pain in front of all. And always tried to bring 'Khushi' in others life.
'Sigh'. She has to wait again under that "name-sake'' shelter, because she knew no one at home would care to come and pick her up. She has to manage herself.
'Dip'dip''It was raining really hard. She has been standing there for half an hour. Still no relief. On the contorary it started raining more heavily. It was her extra class, otherwise Lavanya, her best friend could have dropped her home. She was looking at her salwar, which was happily drenching itself. Suddenly, someone came to give her company. It was her classmate, who too came after attending his extra class. Khushi never bothered to know his name nor really cared if he existed or not. He stood besides her, uncomfortable with rains, like her. He started looking here and there. Then, suddenly found a place and ran towards it.
'Eureka' 'he found a shelter for him. Khushi frowned in her mind, 'What kind of a guy he is? Can't he help this poor girl too? Huh'men and their manners' and she turned her face towards the other side.
That guy began examing that place, as if investigating a crime scene. After assuring something he called out.
"Hey Khushi..! Water is not coming here. You can come here. There is lot of space here" He assured.
Khushi was stunned to hear her name from Him, from a guy whose existence was discovered by her today only. She paused for some moment. She didn't know how to react. She stood still until she was called again. Retriving herself from shock, she made her way to the direction from where the call came. He was standing there'smiling faintly. Khushi wanted to move more in shelter but a plastic, stupid chair blocked her way! He saw her discomfort and was generous enough to move that chair aside for her. Khushi smiled at this move. Now she was comfortably standing.
'Khushi. Idiot! Thank him' she murmered to her. 'Thank him u idiot. He helped u' Khushi kept on blabbering to herself.
"Excuse me. Are u saying anything to me?" questioned a husk voice.
"Umm..No no.." Khushi had to retrive herself again.
There was an awkward silenece between the two. Khushi was still convencing herslf to say thank u to him. After a long 5min silence he broke it.
" Do u go to any other class?'' He asked, again in his husk voice.
"No.'' She replied. She looked at him and started noticing his wonderful features. He looked smart. He gelled his hair. He had crimson eyes, 'wow'how beautiful they are' Khushi thought. His smirk is something that killed anyone in seconds. She kept observing him when suddenly she was interrupted by a bus' horn. Damn! She somehow found those moments blissfull.
" Is that your bus?'' He asked.
"Yeah.'' She replied, for the first time blushing.
"How will you go?'' She asked.
" My dad is on his way" He replied, and gave an assuring smile.
"Okay! Umm..Thank you and'Bye !'' Khushi finally said it.
"No problem. Bye!" he smiled back.
She boarded her bus. For the first time in her life she was rejoicing on her existence. Whatever it was, it took Khushi away from her ugly world'although just for sometime. For the first time she saw someone caring for her so much, someone? Oh! Wait'what's his name?? Khushi bumped on the fromt seat as the bus haulted at its stop.
