Part 15
Navya woke up in her bed and stretched with a slight smile on her lips. She realised she was gripping onto her phone where she was reading Anant's texts that were sent to her before all night. She tapped her head with her right hand and blushed a little. But then she remembered reality that she doesnt have the right to think about him like that if she doesnt know if he loves her or not. She slowly got out of bed and got dressed. She went out to the dining table and sat down. "Navya here is your paratha's and chai your favourite!" she looked up at her mother and forced a smile. Meeta looked at her strangely and wondered what happend to her since yesterday. She looked at Renuka and asked her through expressions and she shrugged her shoulders as well. Navya continued to nibble through her paratha and left the house by just saying bye. Meeta was very much worried for her and wondered what was up with Navya. She was never this quiet. Navya reached college and she saw Anant from afar talking to a classmate. Her eyes widened as she looked at him lovingly. Her lips curved into a full smile as she saw him looking at notes intently she was looking at his every expression when he was reading and it made her giggle. "Kitna cute hai na!" she kept staring at him and then she realised what she was doing. She turned around to see her gang watching her. Appy and Shraddha were right in front of her. She looked down and in other places. Appy and Shraddha looked at her confused. "Oi Navya what's wrong why are you looking everywhere? What are you hiding?" Appy held her arms and looked in her eyes. "What are you doing Appy nothing is wrong" Navya looked at them quite tense. Appy was quite shocked at her outburst. "Navya you were fine yesterday... calm down I won't say anything I promise!" Appy looked at Shraddha and shrugged her shoulders. Navya looked at them and felt guilty. "I'm sorry Appy, I didnt mean too!" she hugged her and Appy brushed her hand over her back. "It's okay Navya, I understand!" she smiled at her and they went to class. Navya became very reserved and her mind and eyes were fixed on the board and the teacher. She didnt look at Anant once through the 3 hour lecture on Hematology. Anant's eyes were always on Navya he couldn't stop looking at her. He just wanted to speak to her. It was hurting him that she was ignoring him all this time. He thought to himself "Why doesnt she talk to me? I dont understand her one day she is fine with me, then the next she doesnt even look at me I just dont understand why she doesnt tell me her problem?" He continued watching her whilst he was noting down. The lecturer asked a question to Anant "Can you explain to me what Hematology is and what they do in the labs?" Anant looked blankly at the lecturer. He looked down at his page and he had nothing but her name on his page. He put his hand on his head and looked up as the room was silent. "Sir I dont know how to explain!" the lecturer looked angry at Anant. "So what have you done for these 3 hours? Have you not written anything down?" the lecturer shouted and Navya looked worried at Anant. "Anant ko kya hogaya hai, why is he not saying anything? Why doesnt he know?" Navya looked at him scared. "Would anyone like to tell this young man what it is?" Everyone sat there silently and Navya was fidgeting as she wanted to help Anant so he would write it down and this would help him in the future. "Sir!" she put her hand up and the lecturer looked up at her. Anant turned around to see Navya with her hand up. There was a sigh of relief on his face and his lips curved on his lips. He looked at her closely and was eager to listen to her. "Sir, Haematology is the study of blood, blood diseases and organs that form blood in the body, from this they can do clinical laboratory tests and they are used to examine blood and components of blood to determine if they are within normal limits. Values outside the normal limits are signs of a disease. It counts the number of white and red blood cells and platelets in the body and the tests measure the time necessary for blood to clot and to carry oxygen around the body. Finally, Haematology tests also determine inflammation and infection in the patient and the type of infection the patient has" she looked at Anant and then looked away. Anant smiled and the teacher clapped. "Well Done Navya that was a superb explanation simply superb!" she smiled and then her eyes fell on Anant who was writing away. She worried for him and her face dropped into sadness. Class ended and everyone left class. Anant ran after Navya. "Thanks Navya!" Anant smiled at her. She looked at him and smiled a little and walked away. "Navya...!" he shouted her name. Navya turned around. "Why dont you want to talk to me?" Anant asked. "Anant I need to go to the lab to do some experiments... I'm running late!" Navya walked off and she gripped hold of her books and tightened her hold near her chest and closed her eyes. Anant looked on sad. Appy and Shraddha were watching from a far wondering why Navya was doing this to herself. Navya went into the lab and worked on a few experiments. But her mind was with Anant. She finished off quickly and went to the canteen. She quietly ate a club sandwich by herself and went off to the library. She texted Appy and Shraddha that she is in the library if they want to see her. Anant searched for Navya in the class, labs and even in the canteen. "Where is she?" Anant was getting restless. He looked up to see the sign for the library. He ran up the stairs to see if Navya was there and he could see her sitting on the desk with her headphones in her ears. She was reading chapters and writing additional notes. Anant walked up to her and sat next to her. She looked up to see him sitting next to her. He was raising his eyebrows at her and she was just looking at him. She looked back down at her work and continued writing. Anant was perplexed. He held her hand and she was shocked. She blushed a little. She let go of his hand and continue working. As much as she loved him and what he did she couldn't let her feelings falter as she doesnt even know if her feelings are true and what he thinks of her. "Navya please listen to me!" Navya was shocked. He pulled the headphones out of her ears and made her look at him. "What Anant!" she shouted. People looked at them. Navya was embarrassed. "Navya why are you avoiding me? Why dont you talk to me?" Anant grabbed hold of her hand and gripped it tightly. It was hurting Navya a lot. "Anant you are hurting me!" she tried to loosen his grip. She pulled her hand away and got her stuff and walked out of the library. She ran to the toilets and hid herself in there. He ran after her and banged his knuckles on the door. "Navya! Navya! Open the door just listen to me! I dont know what's wrong but I want to talk to you! I want to know what's wrong! I didnt mean to hurt you but I couldn't control myself Im sorry forgive me!" Anant stood at the door. Navya was in tears as she looked in the mirror. "Anant leave me alone! Just leave me alone!" she shouted. Anant punched the wall and he went home. Navya was in the toilets for 15 minutes when she came out. She had washed her face and made herself look presentable.
Everyone was looking at her and then she went home. She tried to make herself relax but every time she did it reminded her of Anant.
It was evening now Anant sat on his balcony and looked at the night sky sipping some tea. He closed his eyes and pictured Navya smiling. He smiled as well. "I miss you Navya!" he gripped his warm mug tighter and imagined times spent with Navya. On the other hand Navya was wondering how to stay away from Anant and her feelings. She couldn't let her feelings show. What if it gives the wrong impression? I can't keep close to him otherwise my heart will lose and I will show my true feelings! Oh god what shall I do? Her mind was full of different messages and she can't stop thinking about them. She just wanted to tear apart everything and start a fresh. Why does love have to give so much pain? Was the question in her mind! Why can't it be a bed of roses?
Precap: Anant and Navya have individually decided to avoid each other. The gang is irked and think of a plan to try and make them express their true feelings for each other.
