Ishita was talking and giggling with her friends during the attendance when teacher shouted her name
"yes, sir" She stood at her seat with an innocent face.
"You are very talkative girl. From now onwards you will not sit with your group." Her teacher ordered her on which she just gave a nod sadly.
"You come here on the first bench and sit with Raman" He said pointing toward Raman.
"Yes, sir" She said in a slow voice and made her way to the first bench with her bag.
He just looked at her and shifted a little so that there will be gap between them.
Ishita was getting bore sitting with him as he was not uttering a single word.
*******
They both were making notes when her pen stopped. She shrugged, flew air in it , did every possible thing but her pen didn't worked.
"Umm...Raman do you have extra pen" She asked him on which he didn't answered her but started to search for a pen in his bag.
After his searching session he finally passed it to her and she mouthed a 'thank you'.
When she raised her head she found that teacher had already scrolled down the page of smart notebook. Seeing no option she tried to peep in his notebook but failed as he was sitting almost at the end of the seat.
He looked at her with his narrow eyes , shifted a little inside and slide his notebook so that she will be able to copy it and he will be able to write.
She smiled but he didn't reacted, he maintained his stern look and again got Engrossed in copying it from smart board.
*******
Now it was there daily routine to sit together and helping each other without uttering a single word. They used to steal each other glance even sitting together
She always wanted to talk to him but he being a calm, less talkative, sincere and most importantly shy type boy never dared to talk to her and because of this she secretly gave him a nickname 'mute bhalla'.
*******
Raman was sitting on his seat but ishita was not with him, she was sitting and was discussing her problem with her friend when she sensed someone gaze on her. She raised her head to see the person and found Raman looking at her cutely, this was the first time she saw him passing a smile to her. She tucked her strand by her fingers and down casted her eyes feeling shy.
He immediately sat straight and smacked himself mentally when he realized what he was doing.
*******
Everyone left the class as the last bell rang but Raman was keeping his belongings in his bag. He saw one of ishita's friend came running to him and said breathing heavily
"Raman...woh ishita"
"Kya hua?" He asked tensed.
"Woh ishita aur ek ladke ki fighting ho rhi hai" As her friend completed he ran hanging his bag on his one shoulder.
*******
He stopped in between just like his legs refused to move forward as he saw the whole scenario, ishita was pulling boy's hair and kicking him continuously. He was still standing numb at his place when her friend came from behind and said tapping on his shoulder
"Raman...ishita ko roko warna pta nhi iss ladke ka kya haal hoga." Now he understood that why her friend was in so hurry, they were not worried for her but they were worried for that boy.
Ishita was beating that boy without seeing here and there and to stop her Raman came in between. She punched him too without noticing the person.
After much efforts finally he got success in stopping the fight. He took her at the corner and made her sit on stairs.
After she calmed down she looked at him who was standing holding his stomach.
"Kya hua?" She asked him with concerned voice
"Aah...kitni tez maara. Are maarna hi tha toh dekh ke maarti na, hawa mein kyun teer chala rhi thi" he answered making her confuse.
"Kya hua maine aapko bhi maar diya kya?"she asked cutely.
"Aur nhi toh kya? Mera 2-3 punches mein bura haal kar diya. Mujhe toh uss ladke par taras aa rha hai, bichara. guarantee de rha hun 4 mahinon tak nhi uth payega tune itna maara hai usse" He joked on which she slightly hit his arm.
"What bichara?. He deserved that only" she said.
"Accha, waise aisa hua kya tha jo tumne uska ye haal bana diya" He asked randomly.
"Woh tumhara mazaak..." She stopped in between while he raised his one eyebrow . To cover up she immediately changed the topic
"Aapko kya hai? Koi bhi baat ho aur waise bhi main late ho rhi hun. Bye" she lifted her bag and soon got out of his vision. And there he was smiling like fools.
"Cute" he mumbled about her to himself.
