New FF : Infatuation or Love (UPDATED - chapter 8 - 11.06.2020) - Page 2

Chapter-3

MERE ATTRACTION…

She walked right into the playground … he was too focused in his game to notice but he looked up when someone signaled him. It has became a routine. She always comes with a soft drink or just casually. The game paused just for her.

“we meet at school,again at group study, then why here again ?” raman was just really bothered.

“to know you more?” she replied thoughtfully. He sighed realizing that there is no point of arguing.

For some reason she looked a little pale. She talked a little which was unusual. It was easier for him by know to guess that she is not in a good state.

“Ishita … go home and take rest today.. one day is okay.” He was genuinely concerned.

“you just don’t leave one reason to keep me away.” She tried to joke and nodded.

As she walked back for some reason he kept looking at her. He came to his group to join in practice but he again looked back. For some reason he had a bad feeling.

She walked and she knew that something is happening. May be due to acidity or something her head was starting to feel like spinning. She stopped a sec and without realizing almost sat on the ground.

He saw and immediately rushed towards her. Before he could reach near her some other dude came and asked her to get on his back and took her to the infirmary. They were just thankful because she didn’t loss her consciousness.

Raman thought there are at least 7 other people including boys and girls who knew her are thereto take care of her and manage to send her home. So no reason for him to stay or worry but as he walked back to his locker for some reason he felt a little weird. Will she now treat the other guy same way just like him. From the interactions it looked like she knows that person.

He get his things and ran back towards where she was. He directly went and looked at her. Their eyes met and she knew he might be really angry because she stayed till late. He said addressing everyone “I will drop her home guys so don’t worry” … “are you sure .. I can do that..” a girl asked.. he only nodded as he already called his dad to send his car.

He held her right arm as she walked slowly towards the gate. He helped her to get into the seat and closed the door.

As the car started moving she murmured “thank you” … he looked at her “who was the person who carried you ?”

He knew she was like a open-book. He will ask a question and she will let out all her thoughts/opinions. For some weird reason he was bothered and wanted to know.

“ahh.. that’s Pranit. We met in science exhibition” she said normally. Then it clicked into her and she asked with a suspicious expression “why are you asking ?”

“are you going to pay him back just like you do” he paused and said “with me ?” avoiding eye contact

“were you jealous…?” she asked excitedly.. he looked at her unbelievably because he didn’t really wanted to admit or he didn't even let that word enter his mind.

The person who drove the car answered “I think he was ..”

“Rahim bhayya ..”he almost shouted a bit on that person… he was one of his dad’s employee. Most of the times came home and knew raman very well. rahim was out for work so he just went to pick raman.

“thank you” she said to that person and smiled being really happy.

“I was not jealous but I think…. I know what made me react … ” he said trying to be confident.

“what ?” she asked curiously

“it’s just mere attraction… the exact word is infatuation ” he said.

Back stage

He got ready for tuition and came out only to find his whole family and 2 of his dad’s most trusted guys (employees)having fun in expense of him.

Rahim rephrased “the exact word is infatuation … that’s what he answered”

As soon as they saw him the other guy Vineet said “you got a pretty girlfriend raman … congrats dude”

A 6th standard student romi asked excitedly “so bhai kissed her ?” he looked at romi with an angry face . the poor guy just pouted and stopped asking.

They all laughed and he made an irritated face “someone drop me at tution please”. It was embarrassing to see his mom also laughing. Mr. and mrs. Bhalla just adored their kids and didn’t really care about studies as long as the kid passed in exams.

“do you need to pick her up as well ?” his father asked in a playful manner.

He went out to avoid all the teasing but the laughter continued as it was amusing for them he did had some girl issues for the first time.

Opposites and Beginning

Chapter-4

“Subbu is absent again” shagun exclaimed.

“his mom thinks individual study is more effective … so he will be absent for 1 or 2 days a week mostly.” Ishita replied.

It was just getting better. They practiced and did try their best to cover chapters one by one.

After class everyone started to leave and Ishita waited for mani to walk her home.

As mani wore his shoes Raman looked at them. They all were friends but Ishita was super close to mani. She was comfortable with him the most.

He unlocked his bicycle and mustered up some courage and said “I will walk her home.”

“it’s okay..i’ll..” before mani could complete ishita cut him off by saying “really… sure”

Mani looked at her directly and she smiled at him signaling with her expression “don’t ruin it please”

“I’m leaving so I will walk with her and then went home from there.” He offered.

Mani nodded and waved his hand.

It was 750m. approximately from mani’s home to Ishita’s. they slowly walked on the left side and he hold his bicycle in right hand and the left hand was in his pocket.

“soon it will be winter and the whole Delhi will be shivering again” she said looking at the sky.

He didn’t say anything.

He noticed one of her bag’s chain was half done .. he stopped her and zipped it. She murmured a thank you. This time his left hand was just idle/free , not in pocket or holding into bicycle.

She looked for a while and then mischievously held his hand pressing her lips tightly anticipating how he will react because she wanted to walk holding his hand together.

He was startled and turned.

“I am sorry” she apologized and let go of his hand. “I just wanted to hold hands .. I do this with Subbu also.. don’t worry.”

She regretted for hoping he will be okay.

“no.. it’s okay… you can.. it was just all of a sudden so…” he permitted trying to be as modest as he can.

She was happy and inserted her right hand palms into his and gripped her hand around his lightly.

“you never amaze to surprise me .” he said as a matter of fact. Her palm felt soft and cold but he still couldn’t bring himself to hold it tightly or wrap his on her.

Their feelings were new found and he couldn’t even acknowledge what exactly he felt for her now but that’s the beauty it made their hearts beat faster just like it happens when you’re around your crush. The hesitation was purely a part of the progress.

“I surprised you ??... when” she really didn’t realize .

“ 1st I saw you when you’re unconscious- the most startling I must say.. then you started appearing anytime anywhere unannounced, again that day you fell down on ground… your words …I just could never predict what you’re going to say ..” he listed down the incidents to make her realize.

“this is the longest you’ve ever spoke..” she spoke as if she was glad to hear him not focusing on the content. He looked towards the other side to hide his blush/ smile.

“ishita… you just started focusing on me so suddenly…I never realized why you would it.. I couldn’t believe” he said being honest

“there were almost 50-60 people in the ground and no one noticed … I was not fully unconscious.. it felt like no one will notice and probably it will be late before anything can be done .” she sighed as she said because it still freaked her out to think being alive yet not able to move.

She continued “ just that year before one senior fainted and instead of carrying her to infirmary people just watched curiously.. her friend has to shout for help.. that’s a scenario I was expecting… everyone to gather and then may be more 5 minutes until I will be taken to hospital… you just came and carried me without creating a scene even though didn’t knew me… initially it was only because I wanted to pay you back but as I came to know you more I don’t know but I …. In your words got attracted to you. ”

Her hands became sweaty due to recalling that incident. she loosened her grip and tried to let go of his hand. He could feel it and all of a sudden he just tightened his fingers around her hand but still not making any eye contact.

She smiled realizing that he didn’t let go of her .

He entered into the house, saw his bua(aunt) sitting having some snacks. He knew some silly teasing is on its way.

As soon as his aunt saw him she started her share “ oye … date se wapas aa raha hai ?”his mom was equally laughing.

“he is not even saying her name.. forget anything… I wonder how he is so silent … all in our family are talkative ” toshi (raman’s mom) said to his aunt.

“he is exactly same like my brother.. even he used to be shy and silent.. then after college he became vocal.. don’t worry… she assured her bhabi.

He touched her feet and went into his room. Romi rinki (twins) and mihir were messing with something in his room. As soon as they saw him twins ran away. Mihir only mutter “hi bhai” and ran after them.

He freshened up and finished the remaining work for class . his mom brought his dinner to his room. Around 11.30 he was done . he went to bed and switched off the bed light. He kept thinking about what she told unknowingly he moved his hand and remembered how her palm felt.

He closed his eyes and remembered all the time spent with her … she was cheerful positive and extreme extrovert exact his opposite. He always had a type in mind that he will like, a normal pretty yet sensible and no childishness but certainly all of that suddenly didn’t matter.

Backstage:

From Balcony Mani kept looking at Raman and Ishita walking. There was silence and awkwardness but he knew this is just one more progress in their bond.

From kindergarten he knew Ishita yet he was never able to make her feel the same what he felt . he just waited hoping someday she would realize and look back.

But now it felt his hope will always be a unrequited dream because there was an unexpected entry of certain someone.

Chapter-5

Unwanted Words and life

He was tall and lean not way too much though. She was not too tall or too lean. Her weakness never showed up in her physique. She was always thankful because if not a 15 year old she still looked like a 13-14.

They all walked in the hallway or common area to go back to their class. With 7 people almost in two row they walked. Suddenly someone ran while bumping into ishita’s shoulder.

“watch out” he said in a concerned manner. She stopped and turned to him to ask “me ?”

He dragged her behind and made her walk by his side.. just the two of them . the other five watched and walked ahead.

“mani, do you feel something ?” shagun asked

“what ?” mani asked her confused

“jealous or envious ?” she eyed backwards to hint about Ishita raman who were walking little far talking about something.

Mani was super smart in tackling questions “ what if I’m ?”

The other three Subbu ashok and chitra almost stopped to look at him along with shagun.

He confidently looked into shagun’s eyes and that really made her nervous.

As ishita and raman approached them to avoid the question she said “thank god…someone is there who feels the same as me. Well let’s make peace that our best friends have new besties.”

As they walked towards classes ishota not missing her chance “is this part of free service that comes with your infatuation.”

He gave her a look like wtf did you ask. Then he got the question and felt a little bad for being asked in such a question.

“I do care for all my friends” he had a serious expression

“raman, will you friend-zone me for the rest of school…?” she made crying expressions and looked at him.

He glanced at her and it felt like that face will melt him completely. He looked away.

In class mani gestured at raman to get his book as the doubts are pointed in raman’s book. He nodded and took it to the teacher dividing it chapter wise. It looked odd to the class because these are the two guys who fought in the beginning of the year but when you just see too much of someone then you do change accordingly.

They appeared for the pre-board and things went smooth in real sense. Raman responded to her more in text or call regarding anything be it about the exams or random question. She was happy with that only.

They went to the party that ashok’s brother was throwing. Technically they were not allowed (18-) but they went for some fun before the actual board exam kicked in. there were games drink and lot of boys and girls.

“It sucks that we’re not allowed to drink” shagun made faces.

“I know” ashok sighed … others were not that affected.

They started dancing along with the music which was the most fun part. They went crazy because it really helps when you dance your heart out without being careful.

Halfway through raman noticed that Ishita was not with all of them.The crowd was huge and the party hall was owned by ashok’s family. It was in their backyard and enough to contain a large no of people. He was alerted because he knew she literally can’t run or dance or put too much energy. He pushed the crowd from here to there . she was there among a group and was dancing. Suddenly she stopped because feeling difficulty in breathing. The whole room was packed and she didn’t knw how to move. A strong hand pulled her and pushed the crowd to get her out. She can see the back.it was raman . as soon as she was out of the hall she literally took deep breathes to stable herself. Shagun came with a bottle and offered her.

She could feel the deadly glare that raman was giving her . When she stabilized herself he started “have any idea where are you…. We decided to stay together because half of them are drunk ?” he had no idea subconsciously he was mad that she was there with a bunch of unknown guys who weren’t in their sense.

“I’m sorry.. I just don’t know when I moved far from you people. ” she was quick enough to apologize

“ishu that freaked us out..okay” chitra said trying her best not to sound too demanding

She heard all of them and finally said “I’m sorry … really I am.”

“yeah… I guess you know that you can’t tire yourself too much but still you can’t care enough.” It was raman who said. Today he seemed to be the one who actually talked but to just blame

“I get it … so what do you want to say?” she asked almost looking right into his eyes. Of course he was concerned and it would really make her happy but his words sting her like a pin.

“you heard me Ishita … you know everyone will be worried but you didn’t care?” he was blunt. It really sometimes scared him to see her struggling to breath, unconscious.

“I just shouldn’t have come here.. no one would have to be worried .” a lump formed in her throat as she somehow managed to say.

“ishu..” mani was quick to catch that she is not really liking it. He knew how much she hated when her mom made her remind all day to take medicine, to be extremely careful with everything because of her health issues. There were just so many things she wanted to do as a child as a school girl or as a teenager but a unseen chain has locked her life making it difficult.

“no one said that Ishita. I don’t even remember how many times you fainted or almost got weak.” Raman replied in a much lesser strict voice after seeing her almost crying. She walked forward leaving everyone behind.

She turned back and came near him “ that’s what I needed to do. Not coming here wouldn’t have put you guys in trouble .”

She stopped for a sec and continueed “next time you find me somewhere just leave . don’t bother to carry or worry. ask somebody else to help. It seems like I trouble you too much but it’s all my fault so next time don’t bother. ”

Everyone was silent during the whole car ride. She and Subbu got down and she doesn’t really greet anyone bye. She pressed the lift button and waited. Every next day she heard it that because of her all are worried. When someone consoled her saying to take care of her health emphasizing, it felt like she was a burden. But she didn’t expect that to hear from the guy on whom she has a serious crush . She closed her eyes and let her tears stream down as she remembered the words he said.

He was numb after hearing her. As usual he never shows or prefers outbursts and he went silent but after she got down her words kept on ringing in his head. She asked him to not to care for her. It all started from there because coincidentally he helped her and the more they became friends the more he got involved in her. It just felt like whatever was built between them with a lot of care was crashed in a second.

She went home her father was sitting in the couch and doing some calculations ..documents were on table . she called out “appa” . he looked up to find her eyes swollen and fresh tears.

“ishu ..” he was shocked … her mother came out of the kitchen .. vandu peeked out of the room.

She continued “ from tomorrow please don’t remind me to take medicines. I’m sick of being like this so I don’t mind if anything happens. ” Her crying was more loud as she pushed the door ignoring akka and went to the bathroom to cry her heart out.

A speechless Mr. iyer looked helplessly at his wife who was almost on the verge of crying.
