Books were ruthlessly scattered across the bed as if a person was studying the pile of them for topping the IAS Examination. Kria swirled around and averted a glare at Rey for an explaination. He smiled sheepishly. "I was just checking if there would be any easy answers for a question", he cooed in a slow voice. "Ek question ko ek hee answer hota hain! Ye maths thodi na hain jis mein ek question ko multiple solutions hote hain ?", Kria raised an eyebrow with a teasing glint sparkling in her eyes. "I know..this stupid Economics!", Rey raised his arms in surrender. "Ab mein kya karun? Na kuch padha...naa kuch dimaag mein jaa rahe hain", he scorched seamingly walking to the bed and adjusting the books to make a place for them. Kria smiled at his actions, and helped him in setting the bed clean and neat keeping the books aside.
Kria sat on the bed opening her economics notes which she jotted down the most important portion to be covered. "There are 2 more days...we will cover the important topics today and the rest, tommorow and day after..", she explained and Rey agreed with a silent nod. "We will start with accounting..", Kria initiated the discussion.
The evening sun settled under the dark clouds as hours ticked by. Kria explained him innovatively clearing his doubts amidst it with her pen and the notes which lay on her palms helping her over it. It assisted Rey throughout, he found himself relaxing and learning the concept and he thanked her for giving the most needed break of 5 mins everytime necessary.
It was the last topic of the day, atleast those tick-marks beside the topics written on her notes said that. His eyes were drooping low, he was tired but he watched her fascinatingly as she briefed him drawing his attention towards her. He sat back straightly and forwarded his arm to her. "Pinch me once..", he requested making her annoyed at his tactics. She pinched him way too hard that he screamed and sleep pretty much vanished from his eyes. She narrated the whole topic again, this time making it little more easier.
"Ok Rey...aaj ke liye bas yahi hain..", she said closing her book. "Bas?", he questioned her unbelievingly. "Haan..", she replied confused. "Nahi..", he screamed yet again. "I didnt understand the last topic ...at all!", he scorched purposefully. "Mujhe phir se explain karo..", he pulled her wrist making her sit back at her usual place and pulled the book and opened it. "You said you understood", Kria muttered in disbelief. "Please..", he sued his lips and pleaded her earnestly.
"Fine..", she whispered drawing a breath for herself. He watched her leaning his face on the palm. He barely heard few words when she started this time. He was busy noticing her features..Her features...her kohled eyes...her moving lips...her tapping fingers on the pen, his lips curved into a silent smile. She was oblivious to the change in the way he was glancing at her. If only she was just another girl, he could have pushed her down on the bed and romanced her lips seeking the way into a passionate world. He groaned at his thoughts, she wasn't just another girl. She was Kria Ghai, his baatcutter. The girl whose smile twinkles her eyes, the only one who could manage to turn him on standing at a distance, whose dance forces him to just pull her into his arms and waltz day and night to the music. He leaned a little closer slowly not wanting to startle her at his actions. Her voice faltered a bit when he moved but she kept composed. Taking his chance, he leaned more closer and kissed her cheek lingering his lips over her honey-dipped skin.
That was the maximum proximity that Kria did ever allow him. She was too numb when he pecked her, but traced back pushing her soft palm on his chest. She gave him a stern glare which made him guilty for his actions though his sane self literally yelled it was just a KISS! And that on the cheek though he fought back the urge to kiss on the lips.
"Baatcutter..", he whispered non-chalantly. She gave her death glares in response, he could feel her burn with the heat and proximity they shared but she still boldly maintained the avatar of Kria Ghai she was. "I will see you tommorow..", she snapped him leaving no chance for him to speak you. She stormed off in a jiffy as he watched her re-treating form exit the door. He had that winning smile, he could die for many such moments. He kissed her, and that felt like the moment of his life. " It was a simple kiss, even friends do ", his brain intrigued. "That's more than enough for me", his heart screamed swallowed with the pride.
"Wasn't it the same question she explained and I kissed?", Rey thought as he glanced scrutinizingly at the question paper in his hand. He was having goosebumps at the very thought. "Yes, it was", he said to himself. He slightly bend and turned around trying to catch her gaze. She was two seats away from him. She was avoiding his looks though her fingers nervously fidgetted with the pen. He smiled and mentally yelled himself to concentrate on the exam. Then he felt her glance at him again after a time. "Baatcutter...", he whispered in a low voice audible to himself.
