Chapter 26
"Anokhi say something na" Shaurya pleaded.
"Umm what should I say??" whispered Anokhi in a very low tone.
"What I have been waiting to hear for so long" replied Shaurya expectantly.
"Umm Are you...uhh...I mean are you really sure about uhhh... your decision to uhhh...you know!!" asked Anokhi confusingly. It was difficult for her to believe that her dream came true. She was still feeling surprised at the turn of events. She still couldn't believe that her dream was becoming her reality.
"Marry you??" Shaurya finished her question for her then he replied as well "Yes of course I am. I haven't been more sure about anything else in my life. Anokhi you have no idea how much I love you." His confident tone surprised Anokhi and made her super happy at the same time as well.
Reeling from yet another 'I LOVE YOU' in the past 10 minutes.. her ears started to ring with the I LOVE YOU sound, she still couldn't believe her ears and once again all of these sudden events made her speechless. She was going through so many emotions at the same time, she was not able to understand how to react to it. Her silence left Shaurya hanging and desperate to hear what was in her heart.
After a long silence Shaurya asked in an alarmed tone "What happened?? Anokhi?? What are you thinking?? Why are you so quiet?? Aren't you happy with your decision??"
"No no I am very happy" Anokhi quickly replied in a panicked tone to clear his doubt.
"You are??" Shaurya asked with a huge grin and a bit of satisfaction.
"Yes I also lo..." Stopped Anokhi and smiled shyly.
"You also what??" asked Shaurya, knowing fully well what Anokhi was about to say.
"Uhhh what were you doing when I called??" asked Anokhi, trying to change the topic.
"Anokhi you are sooo cute. I'm asking you something and you are so wonderfully avoiding answering me, aren't you!!" Shaurya said, trying to pressurize Anokhi in saying what he was so desperate to hear.
"Umm I...uh...I just...uhhh" stammered Anokhi.
"It's okay, take your time" said Shaurya understanding Anokhi's hesitancy and realizing that in his excitement he was kinda pushing Anokhi.
Anokhi smiled hearing him and said "hmm ... uhhh...I don't know how to explain this but I feel like it's a dream, a dream that I never thought would come true like this... and ..." she paused and her tone changed a bit sad and she continued "and I think I am feeling a bit scared that soon I will wake up and all this will be gone, YOU will be gone. All of this is just so unbelievable...I mean I could have never imagined talking to you at this time of night?? That too about all of this!! It's just very very unbelievable!!"
"I know, even I can't believe we are talking right now and I finally said what I wanted to say for so long!! But I am so happy that I did say it and even happier knowing that you also love me!" Shaurya responded in a serious tone to make her believe all this is real and he is really happy about what is happening.
"When did I say that??" Anokhi asked mischievously, showing fake surprise.
"Hmmm that's actually true, you didn't!! Well it's not too late you know, you can still say it" Shaurya also replied mischievously.
Anokhi bit her tongue and hit herself on the head and thought 'how silly of me to get myself trapped...ise kehte hain apne paon pe khud kulhadi marna, nahin nahin kulhadi pe paon marna.'
"Well" Shaurya prompted Anokhi once more.
"Umm so where is everyone, is no one home??" Anokhi asked, deviating from the topic once again.
'Hmm once again avoiding my question' Shaurya thought and took a long sigh.
"No, everyone is sleeping and I'm in my room" said Shaurya in a low tone.
Suddenly Anokhi hung up the phone.
'Huh what happened to Anokhi?? Why did she suddenly hang up??' Shaurya thought confusingly. 'I should call her back!' He stopped in the middle of dialing her number thinking 'what if someone heard the phone ring. What should I do?? I can't call her, she would get in trouble if someone heard the phone ringing at this time of the night. But then how do I find out what happened?? Wait a minute, maybe someone came to her room and that's why she hung up. I should wait for her to call me back. Hopefully I won't have to wait too long.' Shaurya thought concernedly.
Shaurya was waiting and waiting and waiting and getting worried thinking what happened?? 'I hope no one heard her talking to me...' He thought anxiously. 'Ohhh I really hope she calls me back soon and I don't have to wait till morning.' He was losing his patience with every passing second. What if someone heard her talking to me??? Hope she is not in any trouble. Ohhh Anokhi, call me soon.' He kept looking at the phone then at the watch then back at the phone then back at the watch and with each passing second his tension was increasing.
Suddenly his mobile phone rang...he quickly picked it up in one ring seeing Anokhi's number and worriedly asked "Anokhi are you okay??What happened?? Why did you hang up suddenly?? Did..." he shot at her with tons of questions in a panicked tone.
"Arre Wait ! Wait, wait If you ask me so many questions at the same time how will I answer??" whispered Anokhi.
Shaurya also understood he reacted impatiently, he took a deep sigh out and asked in a whisper "Okay okay but why are you whispering??"
"Because Mumma just left, she..." Anokhi replied in a nervous tone.
"What!!! She saw you on the phone??" Shaurya asked worriedly.
"Huh!! No, no she didn't. I hung up before she entered the room. Actually, she couldn't enter the room because the room is locked from inside but when I saw her walking past the window, I panicked and hung up without telling you as I forgot that I had locked the room from inside" explained Anokhi calmly.
"But why did she come in the middle of the night in your room?? Wasn't she sleeping??" asked Shaurya curiously.
"She probably woke up to use the bathroom and saw my room light on so she came to tell me It's late... I should go to sleep now" explained Anokhi.
"Ohhh so she didn't hear us talking, thank goodness" said Shaurya releasing the breath he had been holding for all this time and then he continued in a serious tone "Have you thought what impact would our decision have on your family?? I mean I am older than you and also, I am your teacher!!"
"Huh" Anokhi was surprised to hear the questions suddenly out of the blue. "No!! How can I think about all these things when I never thought there was a possibility of us being together, let alone what will happen after we are together" said Anokhi and then dreamily thought "Anyway the only thing in my mind right now is what you said 'You are mine and will always remain mine.' "
Hearing Anokhi, A big wide smile crawled on his lips. He smiled happily and asked lovingly "Really!!"
"Huh!!" said Anokhi and bit her tongue as she realized and thought 'Oh no, Did I just say that outloud?? Oops"
"Uhhh I mean...woh uhhh...yeah I was just saying that I don't care if you are older than me or anything else, what difference does that make??"
"Yeah maybe it doesn't make any difference to you or rather us but what about your family??" asked Shaurya voicing his concern.
"I'm not sure about how Mumma's gonna react to our age difference but the other thing won't bother her, I'm sure about that. She won't care about the teacher part, it won't bother her, I think. Anyway you won't be my teacher anymore once you leave the school."
Shaurya cut her in between and excitedly said "Vipul said the same thing to me."
"Who is Vipul??" Anokhi asked confusingly.
"He is one of my best friends and when I told him about you he said the same thing that I won't be your teacher once I leave" revealed Shaurya.
"You talked to him about me?? When?? We just talked a few hours back??" Anokhi confusingly asked.
"A few months ago I talked to him about you, that's when he gave me these same reasons that you just did."
"But why were you talking to him about me?? I mean what were you saying about me?? You never said anything to me but you discussed with your friend about me?? That too a few months back??" asked Anokhi, perplexed.
"Hmmm, he noticed me tensed many times and he asked me what was going on so I told him about you that I..."
"Ohhh...But what did I do and why were you tensed because of me??" Anokhi asked cutting him in between.
Shaurya calmly explained "I was tensed because I thought even though I love you a lot, still you can never be mine. I've already told you the reasons for thinking that. Even though I thought this he still tried his best to convince me that these reasons don't matter and I should tell you how I feel but I wasn't sure if I should. Then later I decided not to say anything to you."
"Huh! That means you were never gonna say anything to me, even though you knew you loved me and you were just gonna leave me and go away forever???" asked Anokhi disappointedly. "If I hadn't called today you would have just left without telling me anything??" asked Anokhi sadly.
"Yes, I thought if I told you and you didn't like it and stopped talking to me after that, then what will I do?? But if I don't say anything then you would at least stay my friend. I didn't wanna jeopardize our friendship. In fact I even tried staying away from you."
"What do you mean you tried staying away from me?? How exactly did you do that?? And when did you do that?? How come I don't know about it??" Anokhi asked in a cranky tone, she was just so puzzled learning about all these things.
"I uhhh...I was gonna...ummm you remember the science fair we went to??"
"Yes of course I remember, it was so much fun" Anokhi happily replied.
"I was planning not to take you along so I can stay away from you. Remember I wasn't even talking to you that day since morning and thought later in the day I will give you some excuse for taking you out of the project."
"Oh my god!!! How mean...mujhe mere hi project se nikaal rahe the?? Maine uspe kitni mehnat ki thi." (You were taking me out of my own project?? I worked so hard for it.) Anokhi was feeling sad and angry at the same time.
"I know," Shaurya sadly replied.
"Phir nikaala kyun nahin mujhe?? Nikaal dete na!!" (Then why didn't you take me out?? You should have done that!!) Anokhi said in an angry tone. "Oh yeah, you had another big reason to kick me out that day after what happened with Principal Mam, you could have used that against me" Anokhi added with fuming anger.
"Actually that was the reason for not kicking you out, I didn't want you to think that I made you leave because of what happened...it was my fault that it happened, I felt so guilty for it" replied Shaurya in an extremely concerned tone.
Hearing his concern for her Anokhi calmed down a bit and asked "How was it your fault?? Why do you think that??"
"Because if I wasn't trying to stay away from you I would've been in that room with you and none of that would have happened. I was only thinking about myself and concentrating on staying away from you that day, you wouldn't have gotten in trouble if I wasn't" Shaurya sadly replied in a guilty tone.
"Is that why you were not talking to me that day or rather that week??" Anokhi asked in a low tone.
"Hmmm" replied Shaurya in a low tone.
"But why suddenly that week you started avoiding me?? I mean why did you choose that particular week??" Anokhi asked curiously.
"Anokhi, you have no clue about what I was going through. I was feeling so lost and confused. Being your teacher and Our age difference made me realize we have no future together but my heart was not ready to think practically, my helpless heart took away my peace and sleep. And It wasn't sudden at all. I was feeling confused for many weeks, to accept my feelings for you was not less than any war. It was a battle between my heart and my mind. I had so many questions in my mind, didn't know what to do with my feelings, didn't know if I should say anything to you or not?? Then I talked to Vipul and he tried to convince me to reveal my feelings to you but I was extremely scared thinking What if you reject me? What if you get upset with me? and mostly I was scared of losing you, I was not ready to take that chance. But then it started getting more and more difficult to keep my feelings hidden from you when I was near you. I thought if it was getting difficult to hide my feelings in school when I see you for hardly an hour, then how would I manage four whole days with you at the fair?? That's why I decided to make you leave the project. All morning that day I prayed to GOD to show me the right way but when I saw you leaving in tears I cursed myself for not getting there earlier. I couldn't bear to see you in tears, that's when I decided not to say anything. I didn't want you to feel hurt. I didn't want you to think that you were being punished because of whatever happened with Principal Mam." Shaurya replied in a defensive tone.
Anokhi kept listening quietly.
"But next day when you cried so much, it broke my heart to see you like that, I felt like killing Ms Bindu for saying all that to you without having any idea about what had happened." Suddenly Shaurya's tone got a bit angry remembering that day.
Anokhi said in a very calm tone "But I think if that incident wouldn't have happened we wouldn't be talking about all this right now. Right?? So everything happens for a reason." Anokhi paused for a bit and then continued "But you know I was very upset that week because you were not talking to me and ignoring me, I thought you were mad at me for something and then this problem with Principal mam happened and I got even more scared thinking you would get more mad at me, but you didn't. I was very surprised and happy when you trusted and supported me."
"Of course I trusted you, I never wanted to hurt you, I always wanted to see you happy. Seeing you crying and not being able to wipe your tears or give you a consoling hug was very difficult, I barely stopped myself that day after holding your hand. I wish..." Shaurya didn't complete what he was about to say.
"What do you wish for??" Anokhi asked curiously.
"Nothing...it's not possible."
"What's not possible?? Tell me your wish, I will make it possible" Anokhi insisted.
"You will?? Hmmm okay!! I wish I could hug you right now." Shaurya smirked mischievously and continued "Okay now make it possible."
"Right now??" Anokhi nervously asked.
"Hmmm right now" teased Shaurya.
Anokhi thought for a minute and said "Okay fine I will make it possible right now."
"What!! How??" asked Shaurya stunned.
"Close your eyes."
"Why?"
"Offo just close them."
"Okay baba kar li" (fine I closed them)
"Good!! Now open your arms."
"Open my arms?? Why??" Shaurya asked confusingly.
"Aap sawaal bahut poochte ho!! Jo keh rahi huin bas wo karo na." (You ask so many questions!! Just do as I say.)
He smirked hearing her bossy and innocent statement. "Okay mam I opened my arms, now what??"
"Okay here I come!! See I am there with you, in your arms. Do you feel me??"
"Yes I do" Shaurya replied happily with a huge grin. "You know you are sooo sweet!!"
Anokhi smiled shyly and trying to change the topic asked "I wanna ask you something, can I??"
"Of course you can, you don't need permission, ask whatever you want to." He replied curiously.
"What did you say to Principal Mam and Ms. Bindu??" Anokhi asked quizzically.
"What !! That's what you wanted to ask??" Shaurya replied with little disappointment.
"Yes"
"Nothing, I just told them I gave you permission to go there and nothing was going on... I trust you." He quickly replied and finished answering in a haste.
"That's it??" Anokhi said in low tone.
"Yes!" He replied firmly.
"I also said that, but they didn't believe me at all." Said Anokhi in a complaining tone.
"Please forget about it, it happened months ago!! Do you want to tell me something??" asked Shaurya trying to divert her mind.
"Uhh no!" said Anokhi feigning innocence. "But, I do wanna ask you something."
"Again?? Okay ask."
"When did you start uhhh...you know...aaahhh... liking me... I mean..."
"Liking you?? I always liked you, what do you mean??" Shaurya pretended not to understand her question. He knew what she wanted to know but he wanted her to say it out loud.
"No no not this... I mean when did you start uhhh...you know what I mean!!"
"No, I don't know what you mean??" He replied with an impassively innocent tone.
"Huh!! Okay rehne do mat batao" (fine don't tell!!) replied Anokhi feeling very annoyed.
Shaurya smirked hearing her annoyed tone.
"Okay I will answer your question but I have one condition first???" He said mischievously.
