Part-16(B)
And then they were back to their old self.. As if last day's fight never happened. And she also didnt mentioned anything about his last days behaviour.
Thats how, it was between them. She was unable to show any anger on him. She was helpless..as her heart was not in her control.
***
Things were looking normal once again. Everything was going smooth. And then she realised that its her own feelings which were complicating things for her & was affecting her friendship with him. So..to avoid any more problems..she decided to control her emotions..as may be she was the only one, who was feeling their friendship to be something more special..more deep! Whereas for him...it was just friendship..nothing more!
It was difficul..but still she was trying to control her heart...saying that "he doesnt feel like that for you!"
But her heart would some times argue back that he does feel something about her..if not the same!
And she would be unable to say anything more..as she also had felt it many times. His gesture had made her to think like that.
It was rainy season. But that day, the sky was clear and it didnt looked that it will rain. So, she didnt took the umbrella while going for tution. She had walked more than half distance, when suddenly it started to rain slightly. She walked with fast steps and managed to reached the tution class, just before the rain become heavy. All the while there class was going on, it was raining continously.
When the class ended, it was still raining. Like her, meera also hadnt brought her umbrella..so they decided to wait for rain to stop or slow down..as all three cant go in pinky's umbrella!
When he saw her standing there, he asked her as to why she was still standing there?? And after knowing the reason, he offered, "toh..tu mere sath chal na!!" she denied first, but he was not listening & then the rain was also not stoping. she agreed..as meera & pinky also told the same. And she went with him!
She didnt wanted to think on that line again, but she did felt good that he cared about her. And her heart was excited with this realisation.
She was not able to say anything...coz of the way her heart was beating so fast. It was him...talking occassionaly and she answering when needed. She just wanted to feel that moment..with him, walking in that rain, under the same umbrella.
When they reached at the point, where from both had to go in different directions, she told him that she will manage from there, as the rain had slow down then. But he did not agreed. Inteasd he suggested that she should take the umbrella and he can go as his home wasnt that far. After arguing for few minutes, he said with finalty, "Maine bola na..tu leke jaa.. Toh bas!" And then he gave that umbrella in her hand.
Saying a bye, he went away...with fast steps.
May be it was nothing so big for him to do that. But for her, it was! His that caring gesture had touched her heart deeply! She kept standing there for few seconds, looking in the direction he went..with that smiling face.
Then started walking towards her home...smiling to herself.
She was happy...her heart was happy. And the excitment was so much that she wasnt able to control. So when she saw that little puddle in the middle of the road...she just once looked around to see if anyone was there. After confirming that the road was empty...she just jumped in that puddle...splashing that muddy water on the road & on herself . And then laughed freely...like a carefree kid!
