Continued...In car they didnt talk anything. Aarti couldnt come out what Mansi said and Yash was thinking how all these things changed suddenly and how easily Aarti's family accepted him. And finally Aarti asked Out of curisity, "where are we going?"
Yash: Thank god, i thought you will not talk to me today, and by the way i am sorry as i directly ask permission from your mother didnt ask if you want to come with me or not as i know you want to come with me.
Aarti kept looking at him, thinking how perfectly he can know about what she want . Yash who understood her look on him said, "look forward Aarti, as our destination just a few mitters away", He said while his eyes were on road.
Aarti blushed and look forward and she was surprised to see that was their collage. A blissfull smile was their face because of returning to the memory but Aarti spoke, "Yash, how can we go like this?"
"through the gate", Yash answered.
Aarti: Oho, not like that. This is college we are not student, not teacher, not any stuff of college then how?"
Yash held her hand, "Look at the time Aarti, college time over, i managed everything, you just come with me."
They entered in collage holding each others hand, feeling nostalgic. They stood on the collage gate a few moments, living the memory together.. Yash led her to the collage campus . Yes many things changed in this few years but some feelings cant change ever.
"Aarti, on your first day of collage you were sitting here with your friend", Yash said showing her the place, "and i knew that you were looking at me again and again. I wanted to look back at you but you know Mansi, i was afraid of her teasing", Yash said with a smile revailing the first thing to her.
Aarti was so much impressed by his sweet confession, "and i become disappointed when you didnt look at me, i become angry inside that how anyone cant understand that one girl staring at him continously", She complained.
Yash laughed, "yes, you are right. It was so tough for me to pretend like that i am not noticing you after knowing a beautiful girl looking at me like this"
Aarti moved her eyes from him as she was blushing, but she looked at his eyes again as she didnt want to miss any moment today.. Yash was about to leave to the next place when Aarti stopped him holding his hand, "Yash, here another thing happened also. Mansi introduced all gang of yours with me. You know on the first day when Pritha said me that you are in final year then i become upset that you will leave the collage in few months"
"Really? So it effected you from the first day? Aap toh chuupe rustam nikle. You were "hidden warrior" from the first. What more you keep hidden in you?" yash asked with his naughty tone.
"The more you will say about hidden things about you, the more you will come to know about me!!" Aarti gave her answer.
Yash grabbed her wrist, pulled her closer, "is that so? Then lets see who will discover more about hidden things"
Aarti pushed him away "Yash, this is open campass, we are not safe here", however she can push but she couldnt hide her smile about it. It was like they bunked their classes and romancing so fearing if they will get caught then what will happen?
"Okay then, lets go to the safe place." He dragged her with him to the next destination - empty canteen.
"You know i was so angry on you", Aarti said sitting on a chair.
Yash: May i know what gustakhi (cheekiness) i did?
"Your every friend used to talk with me expect you. Yoi said only "Hi" when Mansi introduced us. Really? You didnt find anything else to say?" Aarti said with irritation when Yash kept listning about her complaints. "and i was so angry on god that god always create like this situation where i land around you and you just dont talk anything with me. And that made me irritated.
Aarti looked at him, Yash was listing her carefully, admiring her. She smiled to see him like this, "But you know what was my hidden wish? I always wanted that time last long when you were around me, so that i could stay with your presence some more time"
"Yash felt emotional, "I was really stupid Aarti. I seriously didnt know anything, i just cared and thought that my friends will pull my leg. Thats why didnt dare to talk with you even after my heart wanted that. I was always so confused, always hesitated. I said many things to Mansi but truth is i am very thankfull to her whatever she did for us. When i could not talk to you , i always pray Mansi to come and do something so that i can talk with you.
Aarti wanted to go to him and hug him tightly but she controlled herself, don't know why, "That was our teenage Yash. Not only you i also was in same condition. You still sometimes talk to me yourself but I never did that, just because of hesitation. Like this happen when we are in such sensitive time."
"Yes. Okay now, come with me"
"Where now?"
"To find more hidden things about each other"
The next they come to the coridoor, where they met before Aarti's exam. "Why you were alone here that day? You were tensed about your exam only or about your health?", Yash asked
"Both, I was nervous about exam but was tensed about health. I was not sure what was going to happen with me. That was so strange moment for me, when i was giving strength to my parents that nothing will happen to me, and in other side i was loosing my mental strength."
"i wish, i would be there with you in that tough situation of your life", Yash sighed.
Aarti: But you were with me on that day.
Yash looked confused then said, "I am not talking about that Aarti, i am saying if i would know them may be...
Aarti held his hand," yes, thats the matter. You didnt know. Why are you regretting? if i could share with you then you also would know and i would get some more supports. Thats my fault, not yours."
"That day i become so affraid when you fainted.. I cant explain that in that moment what i felt", Yash said and Aarti could see the fear in his eyes. " but, why you lied to me?"
Aarti: That was not time Yash, and what to say? And we were not enough close then to share this kind of thing. I myself was not sure about anything. Ok, now leave all these, say me, we are going anywhere else??" she just changed the topic
They entered in the auditorium and Yash said, "first time i saw you here in that Fresher party.
"You also? Even me too saw you here first time."
"You know Aarti there is no collage re union party about which i said you on first day in office." Yash cleared another thing.
"Really? But you said that. Why?" Aarti was surprised.
"Actually some days back i saw you in traffic jam, i couldn't get you, then i started to search you everywhere. I mean i tried, but nowhere i get you. On that day when you were in front of me you cant imagine my happiness. For the same confusion and hesitation i didnt want you to know that i was finding you madly last two days, so just covered with a lie."
Aarti found herself speechless, the more time going, the more she coming to know about all secret things the more she is falling in love with him again and again. She couldnt find anything to say.
"wont you say anything?" yash asked her seeing her quite and smilling
She nodded in No.
"Dont you want to know anything about Amrita?" Yash asked again.
Aarti: No. I dont want to know anything. Because today you said, whoever they are, they are not important for us and anything cant change the truth about us..
"And what is the truth?", Yash's sound was naughty.
Aarti: Dont you know?
"I know but what about you? How can i believe that the truth is same for you also? As you ran away from terrace after listing everything.
Aarti felt embarresed, she was feared about it only. She still was scolding herself for doing so.
Yash just wanted to listen from her mouth so continued his treatment, "At least say something, why you ran away from there? Did i say anything wrong? Or you didnt like that i kissed...
Aarti went to his arms, hugged him tightly before he could complete his sentence, "believe me, i dont know why i did like that, i am still cursing myself for doing so. Whatever you said today i always wanted that but still i ran away from you."
Yash placed his hands on her back, hugging her back, feeling the moment. They stood there like that in that empty auditorium, feeling the warmth of each other.
"I was feeling guilty for hidding about Abhisekh from You as i knew that my family was quite serious about him. I know you were upset today at terrace.", Aarti said in his chest.
Yash broke the hug, "and who said you that i was upset?"
Aarti: I just guessed that as Aman said you go to terrace when you feel low."
Yash: Yes, thats true but today i went to terrace because i was waiting for a call. I didnt want you to hear about it as it was a surprise. Actually i was waiting for this college's care taker's call. He used to love me during my college days and if i get time then come to meet him, i requested his help about come to college for that i was in terrace, not for i was upset.
It was really surprise for Aarti and the everything she come to know today. Important thing is they both felt the same for each other from years and now also but the thing never cleared to each other.
"So every hidden things clear now?", Yash asked seeing Aarti silent again.
"I was nervous today when you... Ki..ss.ed.. Me. I just want.. I just want to feel the moment...again", She said keeping her eyes closed tightly, blushing hard, about thinking what she said just now.
she kept her eyes closed, waiting for his reply, but then she had to open her eyes, as she become restless and sae Yash there standing a few hands away from her, smiling, crossing his hands agains his chest.
"What happened? Why you looking at me like that?", Aarti asked
"I am examining you if you are still nervous or not", He replied.
"Yash, one girl is offering you to kiss and you are trying her patience? Really? Unbelieveable," She become irritated and turned to leave.
Bur Yash drew her closer in a swift motion, hoding her waist, pushed her against him, "Do you think i'll give you any chance of complain now?"
she smiled, placed her plam on his cheek, lifted her face to him, just to invite him which he readily accepted placing his lips on hers.
Aarti decided she will not close her eyes today but soon she had to do. They closed their eyes to feel the warmth and taste of the kiss holding his shoulder tightly with her other hand, where his hand encircle her waist. They loved that more and more, depend on that exploring each other's mouth. And at last they had to break away. They opened eyes looked at each other with a blissfull smile.
"Yash why you didnt ask me that why i didnot come to airport that day?", Aarti asked placing her head on his chest.
"Because i didnt say you to come, i just said indirectly but i was waiting for you"
"I wanted to come but i didnt want to see you going like this, it was so tough for me then."
"I don't know Aarti if I could go if you were there, I just expected your presence.."
Aarti looked at him, breaking the hug, "You know something i want to scream but this place echo the sound too much, and if i scream then the care taker or any other can come and i dont want any disturbance in our moment"
"And what is that?", he asked placing one strand of hair behing her ear.
"Aarti take her lips closer to his ear and wishpered, "I love you then, I love You now and will Love always"
