NEVER LET YOU GO.:
PART-13

10th Nov 1997
I was already late to the class by 10 minutes as I woke up late that morning. Days after our village trip and that night, we were assigned to a new dream team task! And last night it was almost 2 when we completed studying the engine models. I guess even niha wouldn't attend the class that day. And that's what happened. I rushed to the class and heaved a sigh of relief as the professor still didn't came to the class. I looked around and found that Niha was absent. She skipped the class.
I silently walked to the last bench and sat there, I was still sleepy and I felt my eyes too heavy. I rested my head on the desk to take a nap before professor enters the class... But before I did something like that professor entered the class and began his lecture. But my mind was registering nothing. Everything seemed so blurry. With every passing second it turned so hard to keep my eyes open but still I was trying my best to be awake if not at least to pretend... But, who doesn't know? Even a war could be stopped but sleep could never be! Offo! After several vain trails. I gave up letting the sleep to win!
When I was about to slip into kip, I felt something light hit me against my shoulder, it came from the window side and thus made me turn sideways. Aaah! It's again her, my angel niha, in white and white. Came to my rescue, spreading her wings wide, with wand in her hand and diffusing her fragrance in air,. I saw her throwing something at me. I was smiling dreamily at her and the next moment I felt something hit me again! Oh wait! ain't I dreaming?? And this is happening for real?? I rubbed my eyes as I was hit with another crumbled paper again. I lowered my gaze and found few crumbled papers down on the floor and looked sideways again. I found her hitting her head desperately and gesturing something to me. I couldn't understand her, so I bent down taking one of the crumbled papers to hand and opened it
"Come out" scribbled on it
"What?" I gestured back rising my head to face her
"Come out dumbo" she mouthed
"I am in class" I mouthed back. She rolled her eyes, took out her book and began to scribble something. Seconds later she threw it again
"accha! I thought that you are in theater!!! Don't act too smart Mr. Engineer, I know you are sleeping in class, just come out now!" read the note...I read it and gave her a sheepish grin
"Canteen, 5 minutes!" she mouthed showing me her 5 fingers and she left. I was smiling stupidly, recalling her acts, staring out even when she's not there.
"vardhaan" my prof. Screamed throwing chalk at me and bringing me back to the world.
"Sir..." I stood up with blank expression
"if you are not interested, just get lost! Got it?" he barked...
a mischievous smile crept to my lips but i suppressed it "yaay! No need to plan an escape vardhan... Now you can go out officially" I said to myself suppressing my giggle... Couple of minutes later, I found myself in the hall way treading towards the canteen!
CANTEEN 15 MINUTES LATER:
I entered the canteen trying hard to be normal, cause the sight of kabir standing at the stair case and smirking at me, really disturbed me! I felt something fishy and so couldn't stay calm any more. His words that night were still ringing in my head, it's not like not trusting him but I just don't want to happen anything, anything that takes my niha, my happiness away from me..!!
I entered the canteen and the sight of niha laughing heartily out caught my eyes. That's it! All my insecurities and fears vanished. My lips broke into warm smile. I saw her talking her heart out to a girl sitting opposite to her. Oh wait!! There's someone with her! Who is she?? is she her sister?? friend.. relative... who is she?? does she want to introduce me to any?? questions whirled my mind for a second... but I felt like I had seen her somewhere and curiosity mounted my mind, I quickly trod towards her and witnessed niha turning silent on seeing me, it made me feel even more curious, and jitter
"Who's it?" I gestured
"shh..!" she widened her eyes... I decreased my pace and slowly reached the table to sit beside niha but niha gave me the most terrific expression that i was scared almost.. Still i managed it not to play on my face i just walked and sat beside niha staring at her, not to look at the girl opposite to her and almost began gesturing and talking to niha with eyes.
"vardhaan!" a familiar voice made us break our eye contact
"di..!!!" i exclaimed as my eyes widened, i turned her side in utter shock, and there she was!! Smiling at me...
"tum yeha..!" my voice trailed off. Niha burst out laughing at my confused expression and almost scared face, even vartika was laughing...
"what..?" i exclaimed... But they were still laughing... And Niha was uncontrollable that tears were rolling out her eyes out of laughter, she was holding her stomach and almost rolling in the chair...
"you both know each other before!?? And niha.. Tum...you are making fun of me!!"
"such a coward you are" niha managed to speak, finally the situation made sense later and i too burst out laughing feeling bit embarrassment..!!!
"achha suno! You both have your time i'll be back soon." niha excused herself and made her way to bring some eatery to us..
"di am surprised...! How did you managed to come here? How is dad is every thing okay at home and maa! Maa kaise ho? And you know her before????" i began to ply her with questions.
"vardhan... Calm down Maa, papa theek hu, ghar mein sab theek hu, woh ladki, i just met her and she is awesome" vartika replied so clam... and to hear something positive about niha from my sister made me smile like stupid
"Last night some one called home! I think they intended to talk to papa instead i attended the call, he said something bad about you with niharika,, he asked me to check on you once, but before i could speak he hung up" she said in hushed tone interrupting my smile well i was unfazed, i knew it was kabir!! Obviously kabir, who else could do such cheap things.
"kabir..!" i gnashed
"vardhaan, is everything okay" she frowned taking my hand into her's
"haan di! Kuch nehin! I and niha are in love, and that kabir he Just want to destroy our relation, it might be him, who called you last night" i was gnashing...fuming with anger.
"what ever it was! Vardhaan be careful! And niha.. She is so sweet... You both make a perfect couple" she winked
"di..!" i was surprised
"yes vardhaan! I mean it" she pressed my hand in assurance. My happiness knew no limits, tears occupied my eyes out of happiness
"i love you di" i kissed her hand
"i love you more my brother" she caressed my hair, smiling.
"oh, so sweet of you both... Did i interrupt you both" niha said standing beside us with a plate full of eatery in her hand...
"totally not" vartika smiled,
"come sit" i said wiping the tears from my face...
