You Are Center Of My Universe

*SLAP* the sound echo in the quite library. parth slowly looked up at vibha while holding his face that was red as tomato. vibha had shocked expression on her face and she covered her mouth with her hand. she went to touch parth's face but parth backed-off.
vibha nodded her head from him going away from her with a slight tears in her eyes but parth was hurt. he started to backoff while looking down. as he turned to leave he saw rishabh sir coming and immediately grabbed a book from the book shelves to pretend like he was reading.
rishabh looked up to see parth standing front of vibha while vibha is behind him. vibha immediately turned around to wipe her tears and looked up. her eyes was on parth the whole time and he could sense her eyes was burning into him.
rishabh, ' hey parth. how are you now?." he smiled.
parth, " fine sir just fine." he said. rishabh walked past parth and went over to vibha and started to talk to her about some new rules and assignment made by urmila. parth turned around and looked straight at vibha. his eyes was burning with pain, vibha tried to give him as much attention as she could but rishabh was almost blocking her view. parth slowly started to walk back award with a broken heart. vibha felt like her whole world is falling apart when she saw parth leaving her. she extended her hand to stop him but he shook his head and storm out of that place. vibha let out a sigh while dropping her rejected hand.
Warrior High: 12:30 pm { Boxing Room}
vibha was walking around the school feeling restless. she hasn't seen parth the whole day and when she saw him he was busy talking to uttu and niti. she wants to see him and apology but it seems he is playing hide and seek with her. vibha left out a frustration sigh and started to walk when she heard noise coming from the boxing room. she was about to ignore it but her heart told her to go there. she started to walk there.
parth was beating the boxing bag with all his force. the image of vibha slapping him keep playing in his head and the more he thought about it the more angry he got. his eyes was deep with pain, he was sweating a lot and his body was tensed. as vibha opened the door to her surprise it was parth. she was so glad it was him b/c after the jungle incident she is a bit scared to be alone. her relief turned to worry as she saw parth was very very angry.
vibha, " parth what are you doing?." she said coming toward him. parth turned his face around with anger. his eyes was so dark now, his expression was serious as if he could hurt anyone at this moment. parth turned around again ignoring vibha and start punching the bag even more.
vibha, " ENOUGH parth." she said while coming close to him yet parth ignored her. she got frustrated and grabbed his arm and turned him around. parth looked straight into her eyes that burned with anger. vibha was taken back, she took a small step back due to fear. parth started to take his gloves off and threw it on the floor.
parth, " or else what? you going to slap me again?." he said in a rude manner. vibha rolled her eyes and started to take a step toward him but parth put his hand up to stop her from coming near him. vibha eyes widen of what she saw, his hand was bruised up and it was bleeding around his knuckle. vibha crossed their distance in now time and grabbed his hand in her's.
vibha, " parth OMG! you are bleeding. how can you do something like this." she started to blow on his wounds and caressed his wounds with her soft finger. for a second parth calm down and kept looking at vibha.
vibha, " parth i told you not to be so angry see what happens when you are angry you hurt yourself and others. i cannot see you in pain like this, it hurt me alot." she said while tending to his wounds. parth eyes became brighter and it turned to softness but he was still hurt. parth tried to pull his hand away from vibha but she grabbed it firmly. she looked for something to wrap his wounds but there was nothing. she looked at her dupatta and without thinking she ripped the corner of her dupatta and started to wrap around his wounded hand.
parth was taken back. few hours back she slapped him and now she is tending to his wounds. he got angry and pulled his hand away.
parth, " what you doing mam? you are not concern that anyone could come here and see you with me? you are not scared now?" he said.
vibha, " parth."she said so soft that he could bearly hear her. she put her hand forward to touch him but he shook his head and looked down.
parth, " why cannot we be like others? why cannot we be normal for once? why cannot i hold your hand in front of everyone? why is our love story so complicated?." he said with a broken voice. vibha literally had tears in her eyes now,she could feel the pain in his every words and it pierced her heart into pieces. parth looked up at vibha with tearful eyes but he shook it off very fast and give it a sad smile.
parth, " go mam anyone can come here and i don't want you to get in trouble b/c of me." with that he grabbed his water bottle and started to walk past vibha. vibha couldn't take it anymore and she grabbed his arm and stopped him mid way. parth stood still this time but didn't turn around.
vibha, " i am so so sorry parth. i swear to god i never wanted to slap you. it was that i got so scared hearing someone coming and i lost control." she tried to explain. parth turned around this time with a serious face.
vibha, " by one foot step you got scared then how we going to face this world? how we going to tell everyone we love each other? or are you playing games with me of loving me and then going to leave me?." he said with a scared. vibha was so shocked now, she cannot believe parth will think like this.
vibha was now angry, " you think i am playing? how could you even think like this parth? i have risked everything! EVERYTHING to love you and you think i am faking it. the day i had fallen in love with you is the day i became alive. NOTHING! i said was a lie nor ever will be." she said while digging her nail into his muscular chest. her eyes was filled with anger. she is mostly calm and quite but when she get's mad her temper tends to cross all boundary. parth wanted to say something but vibha cut him off.
vibha, " what do you think parth that everything is easy. our love story is different from others. i am a teacher parth not a student. i cannot openly confess what i feel for you like other students can. i have some limits and i cannot let you lose control nor i can but that does not mean i don't love you, that does not mean you are just a memory to me. you have no idea how i was this past few weeks parth. after the drunk scene i couldn't stop myself from thinking about you! not even ONE SECOND! went by that i didn't think about you. you think only you were in pain, imagine me who had to push you away even thought i didn't want to. i have rejected you to protect you, killing my own feelings, dying every second without talking to you, seeing you wounded yet i couldn't even come to you. you have no idea what pain is like parth b/c then you would have understood by slapping you how much pain i am in." vibha was fuming now. you could see the vein in her forehea due to her anger. she was mad hell mad now.
parth, " mam i didn't now." he said.
vibha, " yeah that is what i thought you didn't know." she said while grabbing her dupatta from floor and started to walk away from parth but he stopped her with his hand. vibha give him that killer look to step back.
parth, " please please listen to me just once. i didn't now you were in such a pain b/c of me otherwise i would have never reacted like this. i acted like a fool and hurt you." he said while cupping her face in his hand gently. she give in to his touch.
parth traced her beautiful face with his thumb. she closed her eyes letting his touch give her some peace. her tears had dried up by this time. she was exhausted and all her energy was drained out of her. she was so worried about parth that she didn't have her dinner her body was tired as hell.
parth, " i promise you from today on i will never act like a fool. i will be more cautious b/c i cannot bear to see you in trouble and if it is b/c of me i will never be able to handle that. i will be in more control from now on i promise." he said with a soft voice. vibha looked up at him with teary eyes.
parth heart broke as he saw how much she was in devastating stage. he wiped her tears, " don't cry i cannot see you cry. i can bear any pain but i cannot see you in pain it hurts like hell. please i am so sorry." vibha put her hand on his lips from saying anything. she slowly traced her finger over his jawline. parth closed his eyes and let her scent sip into his entire body. her fingers were so soft and smooth. vibha examined parth face closely while tracing her finger over his smooth face. she came across where she had slapped him. there was a red mark on it b/c his skin was so light that it left a finger print on his face. vibha looked at parth who was looking at her with love and affection. without another thought vibha put parth's arm around her waist while she put her arm around his neck tip toeing to match his height. parth was surprise she was so closed to him, he could smell the strawberry shampoo that she used on her hair. her breath was on his face. she was so close that there was no space left between them. vibha with her right hand traced where she had slapped him and before parth could think about anything her rosy soft beautiful lip on where she had slapped him earlier. he immediately closed his eyes. his entire body woke up as if someone comes back to life. vibha put her feet down to look at parth. his eyes was closed.
vibha, " parth." she called him softly. he opened his eyes slowly. his eyes held intenisty, passion, caring, love, affection and protectivness. vibha was still in parth's arm, he was holding her as if she is going to vanish anymoment. vibha smiled at him with a soft smile.
vibha pulled parth by his jersey. parth obeyed her. she was nervous and shaking at this moment. he held her close to make her calm down. vibha looked at parth with burning desire.
with a trembaling voice vibha spoke, " parth..par...i mean." she said. parth smiled and with his right hand he tracked her long sily black hair to make her calm down a bit.
vibha pulled parth even more closer to her and with a much courage she said, " parth i love you!." with the most soft sooting voice he has ever heard. parth's entire world lit up like how a moonlight lit up during night time. he turned toward vibha who was blussing.
parth was smiling as if he has gotten the best gift of his life. he was so so happy to hear this word again. first time was a painful sitution but this time it was magical.
parth, " wha..what say that again." he teased her. vibha looked at him with her beautiful black eyes and saw him teasing her. she pushed him against his chest and started to run away but parth grabbed her by her dupatta. vibha turned around with a pleading eyes to let her go but parth started to pull her dupatta toward him. vibha had no choice but to obey coming toward him. she was feeling so shy that she couldn't even look at him. parth tugged her dupatta a bit hard and she slam against his hard chest. parth was backing vibha up slowly against the boxing rop. vibha kept her eyes on parth breathing heavily. her knees were growing weak. parth had a smile on his face. finally her back was against the rop and parth caged her with his both arms. he was starting at her without a blink.
vibha feeling shy, " parth stop it." she said.
parth, " nope i cannot stop it. you are so beautiful and amazing person that anyone can fall in love with you but i am the lucky one. you are only mine and mine. you are the center of my universe always have been the moment i met you in that train." he said with seriousness. vibha looked at parth with seriousness to.
vibha placed her hand on his face and said, " i am yours and only yours parth!." this made parth smile and he hugged her tightly while vibha buried her face in his neck and hugging him as tighetly as she could. after a few minutes they broke their hug.
vibha, " it is getting late i gotta go." parth shook his head. vibha started to walk away but stopped in the mid looking back at parth who was still standing on the boxing ring. vibha smiled at parth who was smiling back at her to. she left while parth kissed vibha's dupatta where she had wrapped it around his wounds. he was really the lucky one for having vibha in his life she is the balance he needs. vibharth bother were thinking about each other while the scene fades away.
